received at the war office here to-day, gives
 an account of the sufferings and hardships of
 the troops now operating against Victoria s
 band in New Mexico. He says Major Nor
 row's command shows that the work per-
 formed by the troops was most arduous. the
 horses being worn to mere shadows and the
 men being without boots, shoes or clothing.
 That the loss in horses may be understood
 when following the Indians in the Blanco range, it may be stated that the horses were without anything to eat for five days except what they nibbled from the pines. Going without food so long was nearly as disastrous as the fearful march into Mexico of seventy nine hours without water. All this fol- lowed by forced marches over inexpressibly rough hills explains the fearful mortality among the horses, many of them new from the States and unacclimated. Major Nor row has over-exerted himself to such an extent as to produce hemorrhags. Long marches have been made on foot by the troops in their efforts to surprise the Indian camp. Major Morrow deserves great credit for the persistency with which he has kept up the pursuit. The Indians are certainly as strong as any command Major Morrow hes had in action. He says the Indians are well armed and seem to have abundance of ammunition. The letter concludes as follows: The militia of the government of New Mexico will be of no use. One company remained with the com mand until the day before the action at San Andreas and left on the eve of going into action, stating that their horses had broken down, although they had marched on fresh horses one day less distance than the troops, and that was the last Morrow ever saw of them. have therefore concluded that we can look for little or no assistance from them and 1t is doubtful whether 1000 men can be raised by the Government or half 50 many. At this date think many of the Indians are on the Mescalero reservation. We have not up to this time found any concentration of trails. Morrow's commands will move through Blanco range, Hooker's.to San Mateo.

Am Outbreak at Pekin-Fate of 8 Lead
 ing MalcOntenf.
 IOable. l-SHANGHAI, March 12.-A dis patch from Pekin states that the internal peace of the Chinese Empire, which was un- til now believed to be more firmly assured than ever, has again been disturbed by the breaking out of bloody revolution at Pekin- The trouble is supposed to have been melted by certain emissaries from the Prov ince of Kwangsi, in which so serious rebel lion was suppressed by the Government in the latter part of last year. Crowds of desperadoss crowd the streets demanding redress of their grievances, of which the principal one is said to be the centralizAsion of power at Pekin and the gubordination of the provincial viceroys and governors to the will of the Emperor and his advisers. Chung How, leading and well known malcontsnt, has been beheaded, and the Government is taking radical measures to suppress the dis turbance. Chung How was the Chinese am. bessador to Russia who negotiated the Kuldjl treaty.

 WASHINGTON, D. O., March 10.
 My Dear Sir-Your letter of the 7th inst, in which you express your strong dissent to my retiring from the Presidential race, is re- ceived. never for a moment have contem plated such a course and the rumor you speak of was no doubt promptly denied. The first public mention of my candi- dacy was in the inference drawn from my letter to Hon. Mir. Haskins, in which stated what would seek to do in case of my nomination and election. Since that time Ihave been considered by the public as candidate, and have 50 regarded myself, with the purpose neither to press any one to support me nor to decline such friendly aid as is offered me. This position I intend to occupy to the end. I do not think 1t neces- sary for me to belittle or arraign Grant, Sena- tor Blaine or any one else, nor will use my official position to promote my candidacy.
 Yours very truly, JOHN SHERMAN.

 Charges Laid to His Door.
 WASHINGTON, March 12.-Mrs. Belva Lock wood, attorney, has written letter to Senator Ben Hill. She says she is informed that he has been denouncing her for acting as attorney for Miss Jessie Raymond, who accuses him of seduction. She says that she understands that Hill intends to sue her for blackmalipg, and she is ready to meet him in court. She says Jes- sic Raymond has been tempered with by,,Hin or some of his strikers, and adds: tI can clearly establish the fact that you are not Joseph in morality, and that more than one Washington family mourns and refuses to be comforted in consequence of your actions Let me remind you, sir, that you are not in Georgia where you can bully and make the people afraid, but that you are in community of law, order and decency, and where you will be made to respect the laws. Therefore request that you cease your vituperativs denunciation and meet me one lawyer should meet another with law and facts in the forum, and not with scandal and viIlif- cation, which proves nothing but the weak ness of the man who uses such means to influence the public mind. You are invited to proceed against me in the courts if you feel yourself aggrieved. might also add if necessary that could call by name family residing on Capitol Hill whose sixteen-year old daughter you have
 ruined, whose younger brother you made a page in the Senate, another brother you have placed in the signal office, and whose father you procured position for in the Postofice department That sixteen-year old daughter sports a gold watch that you presented her with. In the language of Pinafore you would provide for all of this girls ''sisters and her cousins and her auntsn did the opportunity present itself. Respectfully,
