Onicial Report of Recent Indian Opera-
lions Near kcoEh and in Texas.
Chicago 1ntcr-Ocean. 18TH
Major Gnido Ilgcs, fifth infantry,
sends to military headquarters Il report
OF his scout after Indians reported to
have committed depredations on the
Bismarck and keough mail route, etc.
The scouts who started from Fort
Keough and went to Make Station with
the troops, a distance of 123 miles in four
days, travelled down the Yellowstone, a
distance Of thirty miles, but were unable
to find any trail on account OF recent and
continuous rains. 1t is stated that the
reports were greatly exaggerated. The
true state of the case is as follows: On
the afternoon of the 9th ult., II four-mule
wagon reached Beaver station, coming
from the east. Very soon afterward the
driver turned the mules out grazing.
Shortly after, the owner saw an Indian
drive off his mules, and he mounted a
pony, and, ,marmcl, started in pursuit.
y concealed party Of four Indians opened
fire on him killed him and his horse.
Another man Mt the station then started
i'll pursuit, and as lie WAS also unarmed,
he fell victim. The boliss of these two
men were not disturbed, nor was any,
thing taken from the ranch save three
brides. Lieutenant Clark, in command
of the troops, thinks the murders were
committed by tive Indians flom some
one of the lower agencics,' who were
travelling north.
The story of the murder became great
iy exaggerated rs ii gained grounu. and
acted us II stampcdcr to emigrnnts, and
caused drivers and station-keepers , to
abandon their business. Troops were
sent to Beaver station, Lake station,
O'Fnllon's Station, and other important
points along the line, and the settlers of
that vicinity seem to have recovered
their equanimity.
Lieutenant L. III, Mills, twenty fourth
infantry, and Pueblo scouts, sends up a
report Of his fight with Apache Indians
near Ell Viego Mountains, Texas. on the
18th inst. The troops and scouts under
Lieutenant Mills left Fort Davis, and on
the 10th inst. struck hot trail in the
vicinity of the Ell Viego Mountains. 1t
was nearly evening when the trail was
traced to the side Of the mountain, and
the troops were forced to seek the near
est water, six miles distant (Oiye Viego).
and encamp for the night. Shortly al
ter daylight while pursuing the trail, the
detachment was attacked by twenty
Apaches. The troops were ordered into
the rocks of the mountain and made a
four-hours standing fight. Finally, a
sub-detachment of the troops gained a
good, high position in the mountains
and opened such a fire that the Indians
hastily retreated.
Sergeant Simon Olguin was killed ear.
ly in the fight, and three horses were
shot. After the fight the troops proceed
ed to Ell Muerto and thence to Viego
where they await ammunition and sup
plies.

The French Jesuits.

Paris, July IA semi-official note sent
by the French government to journals
announcing that the executive anti Jes,lit
DEGREES had not led to disturb France,
and that the effect had only to be given
to-day, and concludes as follows:
The government knows it's duty and
will perform it with tirmness. The num-
Der of persons expelled from the Jesuit
chapel Yesterday morning was thirteen,
including one Englishman and one Rus.
sian. The establishment of German
yesuits not at present interfered with at
Laval.
It is expected the Jesuits will immedi-
ately apply to Jules complaining of the
violation Of their rights Of property and
domiciles and praying for an order of re-
instatement pending trial. Govern
ment will contend that ordinary tribunals
have no jurisdiction in such disputes
between individuals and states, and that
the council of state can alone determine
their validity and expulsion.
