The Texan Troubles.

that some very curious correspondence
was intercepted yesterday between
Gen. Sheridan, the President and the
Governor of Texas. The United States
military authorities have complained
hat Texas officials on the Mexican
border have cause.-the arrest on charge
of murder of U. s. soldiers engaged in
preventing raids. The President, after
reviewing the correspondence, informs
the Governor that a repetition of such
acts by the Texas people will result in
the withdrawal of troops from Texas.
Texans who are in Washington say
the withdrawal of troops would give
such an impetus to volunteer com
panies as would lead to a border war
No Grasshopper Ravases in Iowa.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, May %.
Advices received from a large nuln-
Der of towns in the State say there is
no in this State by grasshop-
pers, nor is there any danger antici-
pated. Crops were neve in better con-
dition, nor the prospect for an immense
yield more favorable.
New YORK, May %.
A Herald cable special from Manda-
lay says that his Majesty the King of
Burmah, is most anxious to settle mat
ters with the British and Chinese Gov
ernments amicably. Lebecodtic, the
Chinese general, is supposed to have
arrested Col. Brownies advance on its
march; for Territorial explanation
arrived three days ago by a bearer OF
dispatches from the Court of Berlin.
The King denies all completely in the
failure of Col. Brownies expeditions; a
position which is confirmed by careful
inquiry. No serious difficulty is AN
ticipated regarding the Kaavence ques-
ton. The opinion which prevails in
the public mind in regard to the Kings
ill treatment of foreigners is quite IN
founded, and rumors regarding the
concentration of troops toward the
frontiers are incorrect. Trade is de-
pressed and almost at a stand-still
pending the question in dispute.
Indian Matters.
WASHINGTON. May %.
John Richards, Indian agent of the
| Wichita Agency, has sent through the
Indian Bureau a reply to a statement
rejecting On the affairs of that agency;
explaining the circumstances of short
rations. He admits that there has been
a scarcity of provisions but denies the
| statement that every means possible
was not used to prevent suffering, and
says there is no truth in the statement
that there was danger of an outbreak
among the Indians there.
Red Cloud and His Friends Change
Their Hotel.
WASHINGTON, May %.
Seven Sioux Indians, with Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail, left the quarters pro-
vided for them by the Commissioner
at the fremont House and vent 10 the
Washington House. 1t is not known
what action the Commissioned will
take in the premises, but this step on
| the part of the Indians is considered a
bold one. 1t is said that negotiations
| will not be accomplished so easily as
the Government anticipated.
DIR. Linderman will, on June 10th,
begin a personal examination of the
| Western MINIS, with a view of ascer-
tanning the best locality for a new
branch.
Military order Concerning n
Black Hills Emigration.
CHICAGO, May %.
The following dispatch has been sent
by General Sheridan:
CHICAGO, May %, 1875.
TO Hon a. w. IfuOOUTu ana OtHeTS,
Siour city, Iowa:
The Secretary of Wal has sent me
your dispatch of the Dist inst. from
Sioux City. General Terry, command
ing the Department of Dakota, has di-
rected that the Gordon mining party
be released if the capture was made
outside of the Sioux reservation, but in
case it was made inside, to require "a
promise from each individual compos-
ing it o to violate the conditions of
the treaty of 1869 with the Sioux lndi-
ans, which forbids any trespass on the
part of the whites. Until the Govern
ment gives permission, the Gordon
party or any other party has no more
right under the treaty of 1869 to go to
the Big Horn country than it has to
go to the Black Hills, and it might
lust as we'll be understood that it or
any other party will not be permitted
to go to these places until the instruc-
tons which now govern the military
are revoked.
(Signed) +. I'll. SHERIDAN
Lieutenant General.
The Recent Fire at Osceola.
TYRONE, Pa, May %.
The destruction and devastation at
Osceola is very much greater than has
been reported. Nine-tenths of il
is burned, leaving scarcely enough
except ashes to mark where it stood.
In the midst of the conflagration
thieves and robbers were plying their
trade, breaking into trunks and ap-
propriating articles of value. Money
and clothing is needed and a supply OF
food.
