ESPECIAL TO THE sENTINEL.I
Removal of GEN. SturSis from the
Soldiers, Home.

WASHINGTON, aug -o.-NeH' SbuLSN'
Governor Of the Soldiers Home, received
the first news of his removal and Danish
ment to Montana from the newspapers.
He received his orders from the Depart
ment to-day. The blow came upon him
like a bolt from a clear sky. He said to-
day that he had taken the position with
the understanding that he was to hold the
place for four years, when he was to be
retired. But he offended army politicians
by his bold exposure of their system Of
petty stealings. Being summoned before
the Congressional Committee, which was
examining charges against the manage
msnt Of the Home, he frankly told the
facts, and excited the anger and enmity of
persons high in rank and near to officers
Involved. The friends OF the General say
it is their firm belief that his removal is
caused by nothing else than his efforts TO
secure an honest administration Of affairs
AT the Soldiers Home. His testimony
given before the Committee OF Congress
was TO the effect that two Of the Commits
sion were receiving vegetables, ice, etc.,
from the Home snd using their office for
their personal benefit il other ways. The
Z AEACAON u NC a u hAANA say AA.RN ~
expected an effort would be made 10
I nave him removed after the adjournment
/ Of Congress. but that he did not expect
the effort TO succeed. GeueFai S;urGls
was an appointee of President Garfield.
1t is now stated that as long as Garfield
was living matters ran smoothly. After
his assassination Sturgis' appointments at
the Home we're cancelled, and he was
| hampered in many Ways. Among Others
he Was refused the customary furniture
and carpets for his house. He confidently
expects tina his removal will be the sub
ject Of an investigation al the next session
Of Congress. General Sturgis' regiment
is in the Black Hills, and he Will JOIN 1t
there as soon as possible, but it will prob
ably be q month before he will be able to
get away.
Strong Talk from Red CiOud.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The following
has been received At the War Department,
dated Fort Robinson, Neb,, Aug. a: Red
Cloud says he has given the Indian De-
partment sixty days notice, in which time
he wants an investigation and the agent
removed, or he will with his followers put
the agent off by force, and the Department
must be responsible il an outbreak fol-
lows. Red Cloud is cool but determined.
He has quite a following, which | am in
formed is daily increasing. Something
should be done at once 10 counterfeit this
influence, otherwise trouble is sure to
follow, the extent OF which INK be fore
seen. A little more strength here and at
Fort Niobrara will be judicIOus and should
be ordered at once. This would strengthen
the Indian Department, without interior
euce from the United States, or might
save us greater trouble and expense in the
end. {. '. SUMNER,

Hubbeii aad the Printed Circulars.
New YORK, Aug, 26.-Collector Robert
son holds that Hubbell has no more right
to delIge the Custom house with printed
circulars than those engaged in private

cards or advertisements, and that this
