| CONDITIONS APPROACHING FAMINE.
WASHINGTON, September IL.
Two OF the physicians and one OF the
nurses who were recently sent from Wash-
ington to the assistance Of the yellow fever
sufferers at Memphis, have returned nav
ing been sent back by the Howard Associa-
ton because they never had the lever. III.
Pease, one of the physicians VINO returned,
states that the horrors o. the pess house
are bevond description. The wealthy have
almost entirely fed from Memphis, leaving
the poor to shift as they may for them
selves. and to the horrors of the plague are
added those of the conditions approaching
10 famine. The provision stores are all
closed. and the only way to obtain supplies
from them is to break them open, which is
sometimes done. Even the drug stores are
all closed except three, and it is difficult to
get medicine even when medical attend
snce has been had and prescriptions
written. The banks are open but
one hour q day. The commissary
DEPARTMENTS, established by the How
ard Association, are besieged by throngs
of negroes, many of whom came in from
the surrounding country reeking with the
pestilence, in order to get free provisions.
No whites are seen on the streets, except
those driving the dead carts and doctors
buggies, with an occasional hearse convey
ing the remains of some wealthier victim.
The night is here and there lit with the
baleful CLEAN of death fires that burn in
front Of each house that contains corpses.
victims die alone, after suffering I'M
attended, and there is no one TO put out
the customary signals. Persons taken sick
on the streets crawl into the unOccupied
tenements, and their corpses are
afterwards discovered by the smell of
their decompcsing flesh. Many
are found dead in public parks or under
fences. The corpses accumulate for want
of an adequate burial force, and trenches
are then dug, in which great rows Of cof-
fins are deposited side by side, and one row
top OF another. DR.. Pease states that
the peculiar smell Of the great pestilence,
Of which the whole city is nov under, can
be detected at q distance of three miles.
There is a great difficulty in arriving at
the number Of new cases, as the physicians
are negligent about making their reports.
The opinion prevails among some physi-
clans that since the cool weather there will

About the Indians.
OMAHA, September Is.
Information was received at military
headquarters last night that several Chey-
enne Indians had left their reservation in
the Indian Territory, near Fort Reno, and
were coming north. 1t is thought that the
Indians, after crossing the Kansas Pacific,
intend to cross the Union Pacific between
the North Platte and Sidney, and prepare
tions are being made to intercept them.
Company G., Of the Ninth Infantry, leaves
Omaha to-day for Sidney, the point Of rem
devious, Company X leaves Cheyenne, and
a company of the Fourth Infantry leaves
Fort Steele for the same place, from which
an expedition will move to intercept the
Indians. The expedition will be COM
manded by Major T~hornburg. The In
dams are said to have become enraged at
the treatmnat they are receiving at the
hands Of the Government, and left the
reservation September 10th, with the hope,
it is said, Of reaching Sitting Bulls camp.
They are already being pursued by q de-
tachment Of cavalry, who are to be joined
at Fort Dodge by reinforcements Of in
fantry, and it is likely that they will be
overtaken and stopped before they cross
the Union Pacific.
