MARYLAND PREACHER AMONG THE
INDIANS.
WASHINGTON, August 6.-The
Rev. Owen Dorsey, of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church, who recently
left Prince Georges county, Mary
land, to go out among the Indians,
writes to friends in this city, giving
encouraging accounts of the condi-
ditiOn of things at the Omaha agency.
Mr.. Dorsey is well known in philo-
logical circles for his valuable servi-
ces in the Ponca language, a die
tiOnary of which, prepared by him,
is to be published by the Smithsonian
Institution. His pathological re-
searches among the Omahas cannot
fail to have important results. Mr..
Dorsey writes: eve are not among
savages, but farmers, living in frame
houses, raising better wheat than the
whites. The Omahas furnish all the
supplies for the market of the town
of Decatur. Their crops this year
double those of last year, but owing
to the insufficient supply Of mowers
and reapers, thousand of bushels Of
wheat will be lost. They have
broken this year many acres of
prairie, 50 that there is a prospect of
a still larger crop next year. They
have supplied the agent with seed
wheat. Doors and windows stay
open all night except in rainy wealth
er, Theft, drunkenness, oaths and
fighting are unknown. All are very
friendly, and are pleased TO find that
| can talk with them. The OmahaS
are very busy harvesting, and l can
not see much of them till their work
is over.
RESISTANCE TO AUSTRAINS.
VIENNA, August 5.-The Abend
Post (ot1icial) publishes the following
details of the Austrian occupation of
| INC L vi hlSIl pIONlllCSS
"The main colum of Austrian troops
advanced into the valley of the
Bosnia, after overcoming great diff
culties, gaining by tact the good
will of the inhabitants. Property
owners were especially friendly to
the Austrians. AS the agitation had
at Serajevo openly assumed a COM
munistic character Capt. Millinkoyic,
chief of staff, was sent from Derbend,
on Ausgust l, with a squadron of
hussars to reconnOitre the valley of
the Bosnia. He was seemingly re-
ceived everywhere with joy. Hear
ing that an insurrection was being
organized at Scebsche, town on the
river Bosnia, Captain Millinkovic
proceeded thither. He was received
at the entrance of the town with Il
volley Of musketry. The hussars
formed for action, but perCeiving that
it was impossible to force an entrance
to the town they marched back to
| MaZial. There the inhabitants who
had previously been friendly to the
AustrainS opened heavy crossfire
upon the huSsars. The latter were
obliged to pass at a rapid pace detiie
occupied by armed Bosnians, and in
doing so seventy of the hussars were
shot. The remainder reached the
Austrian outposts. In Herzegovina
the AustrainS advancing yesterday
towards Mostar fought a short en-
I gagement near Citlak with 500 insur-
gents. Several of the latter were
killed and some made prisoners, and
four AustrianS were wounded"
Detailed reports show that the in
habitants of Maglai, after promising
unconditional submission, had barri-
caded the main street and deliberate
ly prepared an elaborate ambuscade
for the returning hussars.
LONDON, August 5.-A Reuter- dis
patch from Belgrade says the revo-
lutionary excitement throughout
Bosnia and Herzegovina is rapidly
increasing as the AustrianS advance,
and bands of tie inhabitants are col
Letting. Considerable une tsin ess
prevails in Servia at the aspect of
affairs in the neighboring provinces,
The Austrains were expected to en-
ter Serajevo to-day.
LONDON, August st is reported
at Vienna that the instruction at
Mostar, Herzegovina, is fomented by
Montenegrins, and will be likely to
lead to serious complications with
Austria. 1t is said that the state of
affairs at Mostar is worse than at
SerajeYO, the capital of Bosnia ; that
the Governor and multi of Mostar
have been assassinated. The whole
population are in arms, and the
Mossulnlans from the surrounding
country are flocking in to join the in
surgents.
