train and additional infantry from Fort
Fetterinan, but the fatal results attend
ing Terry's ex expedition suggested the
propriety of adding eight companies OF
the fifth cavalry under Merritt, At or
near Fort Laramie, to his command.
The wagons and infantry arrived on
the 18th, but as yet there are no certain
tidings of the whereabouts of Merritt,
who, on the 10Th inst, went in pursuit
of a body of C~heyennes. 1t is not inn
possible that the Sioux have resolved
to keep to the main chain of mountains
aud swing round south toward the
head of Powder river and debOuch on
the plains toward Fort Fetternan.
Crook does not think it advisable for
Terry to join him until after engaging
the enemy, who could see Terry long
before he could effect a junction. -Four
Grow Indian couriers from Terry at the
mouth of the Big Horn, started back
tonight with dispatches on this sub
ject. The Sioux cannot nov their
families and effects through the rough
mountains as rapidly as the soldiers
can follow them, and hence they ust
either make a stand or leave them be-
hind after a fight is under way. The
Snake Indian allies are of this way OF
thinking, and are almost as anxious or
an advance as any other portion of this
command. The pack train, consisting
of $50 pack horses, is the best organized
affair of the kind on the continent, and
is in good condition to follow the enc
my over any trail they may select, and
make a good fight besides, so that the
command will be enabled to remain in
the toughest mountains for an indefi-
mite period.
1t is hoped that General Sheridan
did not make a mistake in ordering
Merritt's raid after the Cheyenne
Indians, in the face of his W
and General Crooks orders to join
this command at nee This delay
greatly complicates the situation here
and justifies Crook in his proposed adj
vance. Those eight companies of the
5th Cavalry are considered at least
worth IL of the infantry present. Both
the officers and men are full of what
the soldiers call esprit, and should the
enemy cling to the timber and rocks "a
good account will he rendered by the
men OH foot. A small party of Snake
scouts will be sent out to. night n
endeavor to directly locate the Sioux.
This reconnaissance will require two
or three days time, and in the mean-
time the wagons and the main COM
mand will work their way TO find a
camp and a point of departure. 1t is
hoped and expected that a band OF UteS
and possibly "a band of Bannock allies
will join the expedition before the next
move. The Indian allies are, however,
volunteers, and are looking for
what plumber they can capture, and
owing to their superstitious notions

less success is continuous from the first.
Evidently, but a short time will elapse
before the entire command will be put
TO the test.

Financial Sp%eculatiOns.
New YORK, July %.
The possibility of the passage OF the
Bland silver bill and the payment %
United States bonds and duties in sill
yer coin, excited a great deal of inter
est in Wall street yesterday. One class
of tinanciers believed that if the silver
bill should pass gold would advance
40 or so per cent, and the G%overninen

believed that both gold and bonds
would decline.
