A Tribune's Washington special
says: sheriff kerber telegraphs that
the balance OF the Texan State troops,
who were not murdered after their
surrender, will doubtless meet that
fate, unless rescued by the United
States forces. We have Information of
large bodies of Mexican citizens par
ticipating in the massacre. 1t Is not
probable that the Administration can
take any additional steps for the pre-
servation of peace. The troops al.
ready ordered are moving with all
possible expedition.

si0n.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.
President Hayes has at last signifi-
cantly outlined his position on the
Chinese question. Congressman Davis
and Page last week interchanged
views rs to the best mean by which
they might endeavor to influence his
judgment concerning tho Chinese
problem in its various phases. Page
concluded he would write the letter to
the President, of which q copy was
telegraphed to the press last night,
and Davis determined to try the
effect Of a personal interview, in which
he could not only state the opinion
entertained by himself and the vast
majority of citizens Of the great city
that he vas chosen to represent, but
could also invite and answer such
questions as might 81 EN- useful to elu-
cidate the subject, or needful to re.
move doubts or difficulties, from the
mind of the Chief Magistrate.
Davis accordingly called on the Pres
ident yesterday morning, and made
known his desire for q special inter-
view on this subject al the Presidents
earliest convenience. An appointment
was promptly made for last evening,
which was punctually met. The in
terview lasted two hours. Mr.. Hayes
manifested great interest In the subject,
and by means of questions and COM
ments, prolonged the conversation.
Davis had the qualification of discover
ing that the President has not become
imbued with the prevailing senti.
mentalism on this subject, but takes .
clear headed practical view of it. Be-
fore taking his leave, he asked the
President to allow him the privilege of
communicating to his constituents the
substance of his on this question.
He believed such an expression would
powerfully tend to allay the present
excitement, and generally help to
avert the threatened troubles, by AZ
fOrding welcome encouragement and
new ground for hope that the existing
evils will eoon be slleviated and ulti-
mately removed. The President read.
ily gave his consent, and authorized
Representative Davis to say for him
that, although he earnestly hoped that

would be protected from outrages. be

experienced on account OF the disas-

phatic announcement can hardly lie
