from Sand Hills beyond Camp Robinson,
says the pursuit Of the Cheyenes continues,
with the news that Dull Knire is not dead,
but is being cared for by the Souix. Little
Big Man is organizing for the war path. 1t
is reported the Souix have been furnishing
the Cheyenes with ammunition and advising
them of the movements of the troops. Opin-
ion prevails among the best informed in Red
Clond and Spotted Tail camp as well as
through this belt of country, there will be an
Indian war in the spring in the vicinity of the
Black Hills against the settlers of which the
Indians swear Vengeance. They feel they
have grievance to redress, on account of tax
ing their country and not paying them
enough.

key.

BERLIN, February -. The Russians have
already begun to withdraw from Turkey, and

praised the energy and skill displayed by
Layard, British minister to Constantinople, in
negotiations regarding reforms in Asia, and
said the Porte had shown earnestness in the
arrangements now under discussion. and
which it is hoped will prove adequate.
In Cyprus England has taken over the
crown lands, paying the Porte $4,000 annual
ly, besides surplus stipulated in the Anglo
Turkish convention, which is about flOO, 900
a year.
The expedition to Afghanistan may be said
to have accomplished its object, and satisfac-
tory arrangements for the protection of the
Northwest frontier, while preserving the in
dependence of Afghanistan is now possible.
In regard to the present distress in Epg-
land, he hoped an Improvement in the wealth
er would diminish it.
