The arctic exporing expedition which

another expedition of the same kind,

Gen. Miles Cautioned.

Positive instructions have been sent by
the war department to prevent General
Miles from bringing on an Indian war, and
telling him that the only purpose of sending
him into the field was to protect navigation
on the Missouri river.
Secretaries McCrary,' Thompson and
Schurz have considered the Indian outlook
in the northwest, and are unanimously of
the opinion that every precaution to pre-
vent hostilities with the Indians should be
taken. 1t is thought to be the intention of
Gen. Miles to reconnoiter Sitting Bulls

A Grave Outlook.

The situation at Memphis hourly becomes
more critical. New obstacles have arisen,
which threaten to thwart the scheme OF the
authorities to depopulate the city. The
tents forwarded by the government have
arrived, and site for the establishment of
camp has been selected. The point chosen
is seven miles due north, on the Paducah
railroad. The issue at stake, however, is
the means of transportation, the superin:
tendent of the Paducah railroad having
peremptorily refused to furnish cars. The
people residing near the site are also SO hos
tile to the movement that it is likely the
track will be torn up to prevent the passage
of trains. Then, again, the colored people
are not in favor of the proposed. camp
scheme. They do not like the idea of being
removed from the city.
