An Insult to the American Flag.

New YORK, July S.-The purser
Of the seteamship Tybee, from San
Domingo, has forwarded to the sec
retary of state from the American
consul Al that point details Of An in-
suit to the American flag. II seems
that the Tybee on her way from this
port to San Domingo took on board
As passengers At Cape Haytisn, Gen.
Pablo Willisnnevs, ex.minister of
war and navy under President Con
zales, Of st. Domingo. Willianneva
sent to the authorities, asking per-
mission to land, but WAS refused, and
warned if be did land he might expect
to be arrested by the authorities
Immediately afterward Captain kuhl,
Of the Tybee, WAS ordered to put the
general on shore, the government
.vrrring that he had been endeaYor=
ing, on the Haytian frontier, to fer
nent revolution against the existing
republic. 1fhte captain refused, and
submitted the case TO Paul Jones, the
American consul, who decided that US
the general WAS an ordinary paying
passenger, he should remain on board,
under the protection Of the
American flag. On the 28th of June,
as the l bee WAS read 10 sail, s..,i 4.,f or
der WAS received from the minister of
the interior commanding her TO re-
man. The American consul made n
reply that he had on. board special
bearer of dispatches-,o his govern
ment, that the ship was properly
cleared, and she would sail unless de-
tanned by force. This message WAS
unheeded. Seeing an attempt was to
be made to take his passenger, Capt.
kahl tied the A aeHiess flags to the
stanohions on both sides Of the gang
ways, and al intruders were warned
away. In little time the 6eld piece
was brought on the wharf, and fifty
soldiers armed with rifles tore away
the aags, went on board, and despite
the emphatic protest Of the American
consul, Willianneva, lame and dis.
sbted, Was taken from his state room
and carried on shore, and then the
vessel WAS permitted to sail

An Express Train Attacked BY Rob

ST.. Louis, July S--The eastward
bound train on the Missouri Pacific
road left Otteryillc, Mo-, At 10 o'clock
last night. Before they had proceed,
ed more than three miles the train
Was stopped by distractions which
had been placed on the track. Az
soon Ms the train stopped dozen or
Is men appeared, with terrific yells
and discharging pistols, dashed in the
engine and threatened TO kill the en-
gineer and 6remen if they offered any
resistance. The baggage master WAS
obliged to point out BUSHNELL, who,
in hIs tueu, WAS forced to deliver the
Keys to the robbers, who put the en-
tire contents of the two safes into .
wheat sack they carried with them.
They also went into the Adams e1-
presa car, but found nothing there
that seemed to be worth their while.
They then departed in sou,herly
direction. AT the same time other
robbers climbed into the express car
by the side of the door, which was
open. Bushnell, the express mcsscn-
ger, however, had been too quick for
them and had dashed through the
train to the rear sleeper, and giving
his aafe keys TO brakeman
made hin put them in his shoes. Conk-
ling, the baggage man Of tha train, WAS In
the express Car when the robbers, entered,
and they demanded tho keys Of the safe,
and he told them he WAS net the messen.
ger and had no keys, Two Of the robbers
then put Conkling In front Of them, and
with revolysrs at his head marched him
through the train, demanding he should
point out the messenger,
A party Of citizens are In pursuit of
them, and at the last accounts were only 10
miles behind them. ko far - can be
learned the Adams Express company loses
some - 900 and the U. s. company about
$4,000; but these amounts may prove TO
be TOO small.
Reports are ia circulation that the loss Is
much greater than the above based upon.
II 10 supposed fact thAt this train had the
days express matter from Texas on board,
but the express oaacsr here denies this, aud
says that during the break ON the n. K. 4
I. roxd their vsluablss have been brought
from that state by another rohte.
The railroad company started the sheriff
OF Peitis county with . posse Of men In
pursuit Of tho robbers. Gen. Bacon Mont.
xomery, of SedAlia, noted Fighter Of
Ruerrlllss during the war, has also gone in
pursuit with party Of picked men, and
struck the trail some 10 miles south of OF
terville Another party has been sent from
Clinton, on the Mo, KaDs. and Texas road
and still another from Lebanon on the A.
and T. road. The robbers all wore masks
while at the train, none Of them therefore
were recognized and so far ~ now known
no clue " their Identity has becn obtxined.

its proper inhabitants had gathered

WARRINGTON, July 8.-The follow
ing was received here this morning.
PH1LADELPH1A, July 8.
To Gen. ". Z. Sherman, Washing-
ton:
Your dispatch received. l think it
premature to think OF asking for vol
untecr cavalry with the attendant cx-
penses. If the 6 companies of the
22d infantry are given Terry, he will
have about 1900 men. Crook, in .
few day will have 1900 men, and l
send him Merritt's 8 companies OF the
9th cavslry, 400 strong,, which will
make him over 1000 strong. We
arc all right; give US little time.
deeply deplore the loss Of Custer, his
officers aud men. fear it Was an
unnecessary sacrifice due to missap-
prehension and abundance Of courage.
The latter i, extraordinarily developed
in Custer. | will keep in constant
communication, and if should see
the slightest necessity for additional
mounted men, which unfortunately
cannot be furnished from my meagre
command, | will not hesitate to ask
for them, and II congress will give the
two hundred thousand dollass, which
L have asked for, for the past two
years, fortbe establishing Of posts ut
Tongue river and the mouth Of the
Big Horn, it would be m the interest
of economy, ard will settle the Sioux
question. 1t should be remembered
that the loss Of Custer and his men
with him must have been attended BY
At least = corresponding los. on the
part Of the Inuisns.

LATER.

WAsnlNsroN, July 3-Another
dispatch froms General Sheridan to
General Sherman says he ha. notified
General Terry that six companies Of
the 9th infantry, under General Miles,
will Immediately join him, and also
that he has requested General 6her-.
man to send from the lake stations
six companies of the 22d infantry to
Join him also. Gen. Sheridan further
says: ] nave also notified General
Crook OF this act, and that If be re-
qnired any additional force to the Ave
companies already sent him can or
der eight companies of Infantry under
General Merritt to join him.
There is nothing to be regretted
bu. poor Clusters death and the Off
GERS and men with him. The column
was sufficiently stronR to have hAn-
died the indians if Custer had waited
for junction with Reno. There ID
no. cause for uneasiness, and we will
soon give the Indians another turn.
] will be in Chicago by the FIRST train.
Gen. Sherman does not think the In
dians now muster more than $500 OF
5000, and must be greatly embar.
rassed by their wounded.
