THE RED SKINS.
Mana and His Warriors Trying
to Outwit the Military-SOme
Probability of His Capture.

DENVER, August l2.-The Tribure's
Santa Fe special says: Mana, and his
band of Indians, are moving southwest,
evidently endeavoring to skip through
the scouts into Mexico. He has been
closely pressed by Guilefoyle, who, on
the 4th found two dead herders near the
Oode Lateura, and who struck the band
on the evening OF the same day alter
some fighting, IN which two men
were wounded and his troops
captured eleven horses. The In
dians left at night. Yesterday
Mana attacked Garcio's ranches, twelve
miles from Elito, on the Atlantic and
Pacific railroad, killing five men and
two boys. He then moved On south
west, evidently for the Rito Quemoda,
where the volunteer militia under Del
egate TrOquillio Turia is scouting. Three
companies of infantry have to day been
stationed along the line OF the Atlantic
and Pacific railroad guard the same Be
sidesiG ulfoyle detachments there aretwo
other cavalry scouts south OF Mana and
looking for him, and it is hoped his re.
treat will be cut off. Mana has been joined
by at least thirty Navsjoes and travels
fast, driving nearly one hundred horses
and shooting jaded animals. Some Mes
coleros are out on the tornado del Muir
to, and yesterday attacked some section
hands near Rincor. General Hatch
dispatched Lieutenant Taylor with forty
scouts after them, and reports this even
ing state that the scouts have struck
hot trail. Captain Cconey who, with
two companies Of troops,is guarding the
Mescolero Apache reservation, reports
that Chief Ramor Chequita, with twenty
warriors, is returning to the reservation.

THE RATE WAR.
A Fiye-Year Pool Favored as the
Only Means Of Avoiding the
Cutting.

New YORK, August l2.-The Express
SAYS: There seems to be sort OF taclt
understanding in financial circles here
that Vanderbilt is in favor OF tive-year
money pool among the trunk lines as
the way out of the continual cutting OF
rates. 1t was freely reported this morn.
ing that the Baltimore and Ohio COM
pany were in harmony with Vanderbilt,
but that the Pennsylvania and Erie
companies object to any pool running
longer than one year. From this it
would appear that the whole
thing is narrowed down to the ques'
ton of the duration OF the
pool. The Erie has been making
many improvements within a year or
two from which increased traffic is ex-
pected in the future, and hence its
objection to a tive. years contract on the
basis OF the present earnings. There was
a confident feeling on the street this
morning that the objections OF the Penn
sylvania and Erie would be overcome in
some way, and on this there were in
creased purchases of leading Trunk
shares ut advancing prices, which i'm
parted a strong undertone to the whole
list. Notwithstanding all this there is
still a feeling OF uncertainty in some
quarters,

CINCIN N ATT.
Much Uncertainty in all Branches.


CISeINNATI, August 12.-The con-
tinuance of the dry weather begins to
create more or less anxiety, and there is
some uncertainty in all branches OF
business. The snfferings and danger in
southern Indiana and southern Illinois
Kentucky and Ohio have not escaped.
The principrl crops endangered are corn
and tobacco. Corn made a jump
to-day OF three to four cents.
The receipts have been full and the
transactions quite large in all grades.
To day holders have been firmer and
buyers more eager than on any previous
day during the week. The effect upon
provisions has been more to brace hold.
ers than to increase prices.
Hogs have been steady for the best on
a liberal supply, butthe quality has been
rather inferior. The same may be said
OF other live stock.
Cotton has been without notable
change.
The effect OF the drouth has been 10
make the prices Of leaf tobacco, and
should rain come within week leaf
tobacco will remain steady and proba-
bly, without change IN prices, as the
acreage planted in ten tobacco
counties within one hundred and fifty
miles OF Cincinnati is much greater,
than last year. Should the drOuth con-
tinue into next week there is no doubt
but the effect will be 10 send up the
prices of leaf and make holders firm.
The extraordinary call for rcd filters
here this week run the prices up as high
as "a cents for choice lots.
Groceries have been steady, demand
good and the volume OF sales much
more than for the same time last year.
Pig iron is unusually firm. The fur.
uaces don't want TO sell for future de-
livery. Dealers talk Of an increase OF
price next week. Wrought iron is firm.
Money is abundant, especially to-day,
and there has not been paper to absorb
it. The demand irom the country has
been more active to-day than on any
previous one during the week. Call
loans have been executed at 4 per cent.
Time loans are good collateral at Al per
cent, and on prime individual paper at
5. Local stocks have been in much re.
qnest on basis OF 4 to A per cent on
investment.

ExEcUTlvE MANSION, August l2.--In
the Philadelphia Times OF August 8,
1881, a communication appeared which
processes to present my views in regard
to the several points connected with
President Garfield's wound. AS this
article has been made the basis for an
editorial on the same subject in the New
York Herald, and has, as understand,
been subject of comment in other pa:
pers, deem it my duty to say that in
no particular do the details given repre-.
sent my views of the case, nor were they
ever given by me to any representative
OF the press.

DR.. Bliss Poisoned by tho Presidents Pus.
WASHINGTON, August l2.-When DR..
Bliss returned to the White House to
attend the midday examination to-day
he carried his right arm in sling. Upon
being gasked the cause therefor the Doc
tor said: 81 have received little pus
poisoning" Further inquiry elected
the information that during the opera
ton which was performed on the Presi-
dent on Monday morning the Doctor
accidentally struck the instrument which
had been used to make the incision, re-
ceiving a small cut on his fore finger.
The wound, although slight, became ir-
ritated and is Eow considerably swollen.
1t is supposed that with the cut he re-
ceived some OF the pus which had ad.
hered to the instrument.

Trade Active. with an ENCOURAGING Out
look.
Nav YORK, August l2.-The outlook
in most lines OF business is encouraging.
There has been q good deal of activity
in the dry goods trade, and the business
done, while not perhaps 30 large as an.
ticipated, is satisfactory. There has been
a steady demand for domestic goods and
foreign manufactures are moderately
inquired for. Prices are generally firm.
The grain market has been more irreg.
ular and unsettled with a downward
tendency during the week with rally
at the close on decline. There has been
some demand for shipment and some
considerable orders have been filled.
Provisions are dull. In cotton there has
been slight fluctuations. The wool mar
ket is without any change.
In the produce trade the arrivals OF
both butter and cheese are large, and
prices have been well sustained. Ex.
porters are operating largely in butter,
and the week shows an advance OF to
2 per cent on all grades.
The demand for American pig iron is
steadily advancing. Prices OF the finer
grades are shade tirmer. The demand
is good, and there is al absence as yet
OF any speculative movement. The
transactions in foreign sections have
been only moderately active. In man
ufaCtured iron the demand continues
quite brisk, and the general tone Of the
market is encouraging in all branches.
In Brazil coffee fair amount OF busi-
ness is being done. In the milder grades
there is fair demand for consumption
at slight advance. The stock of Mocha
is very limited. Prices are strong.
In the raw sugar market dullness is
prevailing in consequence OF the ap-
parently limited demand for consump.
ton, but no special concessions are
made by large holders.
d. and j. Sadler d Co., publishers,
have sucumbed, with liabilities estimat-
ed at $l50,000. They at one time had

publishing trade in this country.
business now very much
cut up. The assignment Of
q. l. French, dry goods, at Buffalo,
while not very heavy one so far as the
liabilities are concerned, is yet signifi
cant from the fact that no less than
one hundred and seven subscribers to
the mercantile agency were interested
in him. His failure has been anticipated
for a considerable time. The suspen-
sion of the Boston Woolen Company,
just announced, with liabilities of$l ,0O0,-
700, is another important case. No par
ticulars have been given ss yet. Jona-
than Cotte, OF Boston, used the style
"Boston Woolen Company" as trade
mark and the business belonged TO him.
Aside from these. the business embar.
rassments reported throughout the
country, while somewhat numerous,
have been very trifling.

Opinion of a Noted Kentucky Disciple
of Esculspius-No Chance for His Re-
covery.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August y The
Lexington reporter OF the Courier Jour
nal has had talk with Gov. Blackburn,
who is a prominent retired physician,
and during quite lengthy talk on va.
rious topics, the condition OF President
Garfield was mentioned. Said Governor
Blackburn: 81 thought at the time the
President was shot that his wound
would prove mortal and still think so.
He will undoubtedly die. | believe the
ball was DETECTED and struck the spinal
column, affecting great nerve. Moth
ing else could account for the pains in
his feet. This thing you noticed in the
papers about their getting him to sign
his name to an an order to test
his nerves, is all foolishness. 1t is my
opinion that they got his name signed
for the purpose OF calling Congress to-
gether in the event OF his death" In
this connection your correspondent will
state that he had conversation with two
other surgeons of this city, who express
ed the opinion that the Presidents
weakness is largely due to the fact that
he has not been furnished with enough
strengthening food One of them is OF
the opinion that the tone OF the Presl-
dents stomach has been impaired by
too many hypoiermic injections OF
morphia.

THE DAY ATTHE MANSION.

The Physicians Still Confident Despite
the High Pulse and Temperature.
WASHINGTON, August l2.-The day at
the Executive Mansion has been marked
by no special feature. DR.. Hammond
wasoresent at the several dressings of
the Presidents wounds, and despite the
fact that the bulletins show an increased
.tempetatufe, does not hesitate to
declare that in his judgment the
President is improving, and that
the case is very hopeful. He attributes
the high pulse and temperature to the
operation on Monday, and says he would
have no apprehension il the same con-
dition OF pulse and temperature con-
tinued for several days. The doctors
assert that the healing process is going
on finely. The pus is draining nicely.
The President has had better appetite
and has taken and retained large
amount OF food yesterday and to-day.
DR.. Bliss is suffering from the pus
poisoning received through cut in his
right hand while handling the knives
used at Mondays operation. His asso-
clate, DR.. Reyburn, thinks it may con-
fine him to his house for few days.
DR.. Hamilton attributes the effect OF the
pus to the uniavorable physical condi-
ton OF DR.. Bliss, whose health has been
impaired by his constant attendance
upon the President. Neither OF the
surgeons anticipate any serious result.
