story

Postmaster Jewell denies the Delauo
Story
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The President and
some of the members of his party returned to
Washington this afternoon. Secretary Della no
will not return until tomorrow. Po. tmaster
General Jewell returned this morning. He
states positively that the report tba the Presi
dent has requested Secretary Delano to iesgn
is not true. The Postmaster General was IN
the railroad car with the President and Secre-
tary Delano when the published statemt ut re-
tered to was brought to their attention, and
his assertion is based upon what was then said
by the parties directly concerned.

Conflicting Statements Il. garding Secre-
tary DeiasO.
The original report coDceruing S cretarv
Delano was based on the Statements of several
prominent members of Con who asserted
that certain improper transactions cou oected
with the Department of the Interior had been
brought to the attention of the Pres dent, and
that they were of such cbafac er as to cause
an intimation to be conveyed to Secretary Del
ano that his resignation would he accepted.
On the other hand it is SAID bt intimate
friends of the Secretary that before leaving the
city last week to join the Presidential party he
was lot aware that the President desired his
resignation, but that if he had received slch an
intmatlon be would have promptly rendered it
and, further, that if a charge bad been made
against the Department of the Interior involv-
Jog the official conduct of the Secretary. the
President from his long and intimate friend
ship with the Secretary would not have acted
hastily, but would have afforded him an OPP
portunIty to reply before coming to such con-
cluSi0n as to desire his RESIGNATION.

INDIANS.
Troops After the Cheyennes.

ST.. LOUIS, April 21-A special from Kansas
CITY saws it is understood that the Indians who
escaped from the Cheyenne agency on the 9th
instant, are on the Cinnamon river, 100 miles
south of Fort Dodge, in the neighborhood they
rendezvoused in at the beginning of the war
last summer. 1t is supposed they have formed
a junction with one more of the bands that re-
NAMED out during the winter and the whole
force is probably about 500. They are evident
ly intent on fighting. All the available troops
at Fort Dodge and Fort Hays have been or

gather them in if it takes all summer. Troops
are also moving up from the south to engage
them. The military are confident they cannot
escape collision with one or other of the fore
es marching against them.
