LIEUT.. FLIPPER IN TROUBLE.
The COIOred Army officer in Du'

San Antonio Express, 49,

San Antonio Express, l9,l
Information from TT. Davis is to the
effect that Lieut.. H. Flipper, colored,
and Second Lieutenant Of company A,
Tenth Cavalry, a colored regiment,
has been arrested aud confined in the
guard house there on the charge Of
defrauding the government in the
sum Of about SIT 900. 1t seems from
reports that Flipper was entrusted
with the functions Of a commissary OF
subsistence, and in the disposition OF
supplies got behind in his accounts.
In explanation Flipper told Colonel
Skater, commanding the regiment,
that he had certain tums deposited in
the San Antonio National Bank. A
telegram to the cashier Of the bank
making inquiries as to Flipper's &C
count elected the reply that there
were no funds in the bank to Flipper's
credit. A few days ago Flipper, it is
said, mounted a horse and started of,
when be was arrested on the SUPPOSE
ton that his purpose vas desertion,
On his person were found, it is alleged
money or drafts that should have been
on deposit at the bank, and other evi
dence to criminate him,
1t is also reported that a telegram
has been received stating hat some
friend of Flipper will make the def
cheney good.
A court Of inquiry will doubtless be
convened shortly, when the facts in
