an Explorer Eaten.

The San Francisco Bulletin of Feb. 0
says: Recent advices report the death
OF DR.. w. H. James, a former resident
Of San Francisco, on the island sfPapua
or New Guinea, he having been sacrificed
and deToured by the cannibals inhabit-
ing it. DR.. james was assistant physi.
clan at the City and County Hospital
from 1856 to 1858. He afterward went
to Nevada, and practiced his profession
in Cold Hill for several years. When
the White Pine fever broke out, he was
among the thousands who hocked TO
that locality. Afterward he went to Nye
county, from which he was elected to
the Nevada Legislature. Two years ago
he returned to this city, but finding no
opportunity for practicing his profession
he sailed for Australia. The melan-
choly news just received ia the first in
formation his friends have had about
him since he left. The Doctor was at
tached TO an exploring expedition, which
was endeavoring to explore the island,
and he, with a companion, became SEN
arated from it. They were then sur
rounded by savages and killed and
eaten.

A Curiosity.

\ special to the St Paul (Aiinn.)
Pioneer-PresS. writes from Owatonna as
follows: Out in the town of Deerfield.
about ten miles from this city. there was
to-day uneaIthed most wonderful curl
osity. There was found by some hum
tiers, under load of manure, what both
resembled a man and colt. The head
resembled very much that OF a man,
while the lower parts that of colt. The
ewes were located about midway of the
head, and the nose about four inches
long. resembling the nose of colt,
while the ears were short, unlike either
those of Il man or colt The size of this
curious specimen could not be ascer-
tanned, as it had been cut in two, with
only one front leg remaining. The head
was covered with soft and fine hair, and
the soft spot usually found on the top OF
the head of a very Young child was
found about where it would be on a
child's head Where this came from is
unknown, but il certainly was hidden
where it was and cut into in the manner
it Was by some one. From the shape of
the figure as cut into, one would be led
to suppose that the creature had only
two legs. as parts of the ribs We're at
tached to the part of the body found.
Many suppose this unnatural object to
be the offspring of a woman, and to con-
ceal the matter the parent took this
means of concealing it from the public.
Parties from this city went out to the
woods where this object of curiosity was
found and procured the part above de-
scribed and will place it on exhibition

that '.we cherish YOU as one in

THE SIOUX WAR.
Interesting Description of the Capituiation
of the Hostiies.

Col Nelson A. Miles. of the Fifth In
fantry. in his report from headquarters
on Tongue l.ser, made on the oath of
March, says, III regard to the surrender
of the Sioux and Cheyenne chiefs:
Referring 10 my letter of the 2Sd ult.,
regarding the coming OF certain Indians
pursuant 70 communication with them
thai | had established. have the honor
10 state thar the Indians who left on the
23d ultimo with my Interpreter found
the hostile tribes on the Little Horn on
the 4th instant. and so far disposed TO
accept the terms that | had sent out,
namely. placing themselves under en-
tire subsection to the Government, and
either coming here or going to the
agencies AT the South. that it was cried
through the camps that the war was
over. and that no more hostile eXpedi-
tons would hc allowed against the white
man. The camp moved toward this
place Immediately, and my interpreter
Travelled with il two days, crossing from
the Little Horn To Tongue River, and
down Tongue River To OTTO Greek, and
during this time runner from a party
under spotted Tail arrived. conveying
news of their approach and bringing
ammunition. Ny Interpreter saw one
bag of il. From Otter Creek 100 In
dian>. chiefly warriors, came here on
, the alh inst. led by sixteen chiefs and
head warriors-of whom a part had
been in before-all of whom desired to
learn for themselves under what condi-
tons they could come in. and whether
ance with the very liberal terms alleged
10 have been offered through Spotted
Tail, TOR by him.
Among other things, they stated that
he promised them an opportunity of
obtaining abundant ammunition Al the
agencies. which i doubtless an umau-
thorized promise.
THF CHIEFS WHO RRENDERED.

proof of their good faith and As a guar
antee that
THEIR PEOPLE WILL CONE IN
here and remain, or 90 to their agencies.
The remainder of the Indians left yes
terday, intending TO participate in the
general council with Spotted Tail to be
held on the Little Powder River, whittier
they stated their tribes would move from
the Otter Creek. The result of the
council will probably determine their
final action. | have impressed upon
them that, while would receive their
surrender, in accordance with my origi-
nal demands and communications here
tofore reported, vet, if they would go
in to their agencies it would be quite as
satisfactory, Many of these Indians
state that they have never lived AT
agencies, and never before shaken hands
with the white man.
HOW THEY GET AMMUNITION.
| learn that there is a half-breed
named ..Tom" living at or near the
Spotted Tail Agency who trades ammu-
milton to the Indians. and had been with
it into their camp shortly before the en-
garement at Wolf Mountains of Jan. s.
Also that there is a Spaniard, name un-
known, who has ranch near the Black
Hills. engaged in the same business. and
that the Indians go to his place at night
to procure the ammunition.
There are indications that the camp
in Powder River is breaking up. A con-
siderable body, estimated at from 80 to
$50 lodges. crossed the Yellowstone and
went up Cedar Greek Feb. 20 or q.
A part of Sitting Bulls band. as here
tofore reported. has taken refuge in the
British possessions, and | would request
that most prompt and decided measures
be taken to retain them, or to prevent
their refitting for hostilities against the
people OF the United States. Whatever
may he the result OF facts herein related,
the conferences with the Indians neither
delayed nor will delay active operations,
which are at this time impracticable,
much less from swollen streams and
from deep mud than from lack of for
age. have kept the animals on short
allowance OF forage Tor weeks, and shall
have none whatever week hence. The
Indians, by coming here ~ they do,
show that they have confidence in me.
and | am of course TO place some conf
dence in them in order 10 bring about,
| if possible, what we most desire.
