s ss= .UNEAsINEss AT WASHINGTON.
Advices from Washington of the 9TH
inst, state that the subject of Indian
troubles is the source of great attention
at the war department. The secretary
of war and general of the. army have
been in consultation to-day with refer
ence thereto, and in brief cabinet
council this afternoon Mr.. McCrary iu-
dicated to the president and n embers
ofthe cabinet his views and those ofthe
military commanders reporting to the
secretary of war regarding the serious
ness of the situation. Army officers are
convinced that there is danger ahead.
Lit Is the opinion at the war departm ent
that the army force is far from a suffi-
Gent number to accomplish all
that IS necessary to prevent out
breaks, but reliance is placed
upon the supports the troops
will receive from frontiersmen. The
troubles on the Rio Grande just report
ed do not cause as much apprehension
