ued at $500 dollars, on Saturday last
Death caused, it is supposed, by not blank,

you this information knew nothing about

before many years it will be impossible to
fix any point where they can be prevented
from going. 1t will become necessary that
the whites shall go from one place to
another, whether occupied by Indians or
not, the same as they 60 from one State to
another. He did not ask them, without
their consent, to leave their homes, but
there was territory south of where they
live where the climate is better, the pastur-
age better, and game more abundant and
where teachers can be sent to instruct them
in the arts of civilization and the means of
self-preservation and support. The diff
Guilty of preventing the whites from going
to the Black Hills would increase every
year, and finally lead to hostilities and the
stoppage of the Indian supplies. The
President concluded by telling the Indians
that he did not wish them to say anything
to- day, but to consult among themselves,
and arrange the matter with the Secretary
of the Interior and Commissioner of Indian
Affairs. After short statement by Spotted
Tail, denying the published report that the
Indians had stigmatized the Secretary and
Commissioner as " liars" the Indians with
drew. The Sioux chiefs were in council
with Secretary Delano and Commissioner
Smith for more than three hours on Thurs
day, in reference to the surrender of the
Black Hills. Spotted Tail was spokesman
for the Indians, but his speech was very
diplomatic, and no agreement was reached.
Another conference was appointed for the
next day, but Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
said that they would hold no council with
the Secretary of the Interior, but would
talk over the proposition for removal
among themselves. They say "they don't
understand what the Secretary means whe n
he tells them that the Government does not
intend to force them to 60, and then tells
them that if they do not 60 the white peo-
pie will be allowed to come into their coun-
try, and probably Congress will withhold
appropriations from them" The Indians
all agree that they will not go to the Indian
Territory, and "if the Government at
tempts to force them it will require all the
army to move them" 1t is said, however,
that they think there is room enough for
them on their own reservation without the
Black Hills, and that they can get along
without the Hills.

The forest fires in the vicinity of Port Jervis
are extinguished.
The War Department has recently re-
ceived reports showing that the U. S. troops
stationed along the Rio Grande are annoyed
by former residents of Mexico who have
come to Texas, and, while protesting to be
American citizens, are in collision with the
Mexican raiders, and aid their acts of VIC
lence. A telegram from General Ord re-
ports that a patrol of four privates. under
sergeant, while watching for Mexican
raiders, were ambushed, and two of the
privates were killed and robbed. During
the melee Mexican was killed by his own
people, "as proven at the coroner's inquest
by the character of the spherical ball taken
from the wound" yet the sergeant and
two escaped privates have been imprisoned
for the offense. The country along the
Rio Grande, below Ringgold, is entirely in
the hands of Mexican raiders, aided by the
Mexican population in Texas. On receiv-
ing Governor Ord's telegram, the Secretary
of War, by desire of the President, mott
fed the Governor of Texas, that if the e.
S. soldiers are to be thus treated for doing
their duty, they will be withdrawn which
seems to us very foolish threat.
The interview between the Sioux dele
CATION and the President took place at one
o'clock on Wednesday, in the President S
private office. The Indians were in full
costume, with paint and feathers, and each
as he was presented shook hands with the
President. When the presentation was
over, the chiefs arrayed themselves in a
semi circle around the table, Red Cloud
and Spotted Tail having prominent posi-
tons. The President, addressing them
through an interpreter, reminded them
that the provisions granted them by act of
Congress were gratuities, and might be
taken from them at any time without viola
ton of the treaty; that the whites now
outnumber the Indians in the ratio of 200
to /, and are increasing so rapidly that
