THE INDIANS
The War in Mexico.

CHIHUAHUA, May 49, News has been recev-
cd that twelve Indians attacked some citZena
twenty-five miles west OF Salleio on the Gar
mol road, killing one and wounding another:
That point is about seventy-fve miles north OF
here. 1t is thought the Indians are scattering
into small bands a company OF soldiers has
been sent out.
Gen. Crooks Campaign LIKELY to be Long
and Difficult.
CHICAGO, May 13.-A dispatch from Tucson,
A. t., says Gen. Garcla's engagement with the
Indians IN Sonora has demonstrated that the
band OF renegade Apachea Is much larger than
has been heretofore supposed. The general
idea has been that it numbered about 75 Gen,
Garcia estimates tho number Of those on the
woat side OF the Sierra Madre maintains at
from l5O to 200; those on the east side will
probably bring the number up 20 800 The
country Is very abrupt and difficult Of access
aud those who remember the Modoc war In the
lava beds will appreciate tho difficulty Of the
task before Gen Crook. The indians cannot
be starved out for the mountains furnish plen-
ty of game. II is believed that in view of the
fact that this perceptions country Is equal in
extent To the State Of Ohio IL will require at
least six months 20 subdue these Apaches.
The Crees Preparing for War.
CHICAGO, May 13.-A special from Helena,
Montana, says: Col. Ilges commanding at
Fort Assiniboine, has received information that
the Cree Indians are preparing for general
war. lnfeo Hunursu lOnge5 unuef Dig Bear
Lucky Man and Little Pine are camped with
in % miles Of Fort Walsh ready to cross into
Montana to aveDge the loss OF the Crees ia
their last horse stealing raids Col Ilges has
sent couriers 10 Fort Walsh with demand
that the British authorities take steps to pre-
vent the Indians crossing the line Col. Ilges
thinks the first attack will be made on the
Gros Yentres and Aesiniboines, causing gem
eral war and loss 10 Northern Montana stock
interests. A party Of Crees a few days ago
stole forty horses from the Benton and ST.

a Burglar Caught.

Since Friday last the police have been on
the watch for Tom Sullivan who was charged
with stealing set OF iewelry from a colored
man by the name OF William Harris. About
midnight Officers Hicgs and Massars found
him asleep In wagon in a shed near Lap
pins grain store on Pearl street and took him
into custody. Sullivan had with him large
bundle which or examination was found to
contain straw hat, gossamer coat, a lot of
handkercAieis, tidy, postal cards. pens, paper
and lot Of yarn. The handkerchiefs were
marked E. L. Dyer, which is the name OF the
recorder Of the Municipal Court On going TO
Mr.. Dyer's Office on Exchange street it was
found that the Office had been entered By
breaking ont large pane Of glass in the door.
Probably the paper and postal cards as well as
the handkerchiefs came from Mr.. Dyer's. As
yet there is no clue to the ownership OF the
other articles, but when they are traced it viii
probably appear that Mr.. Dyer's Office is not
the only place Sullivan visited last night.
When arrested Sullivan was somewhat in
toxicated and not inclined TO say anything
Sullivan has been out of State prison but two
months, having served two years sentence
for breaking and entering the store OF Morgan
& Butler.

profession though she has acted as temper
ary teacher more or less in this school She is

creased number of pupils in attendance, the
new board of teachers under direction Of Dr..
Rounds, will place this Normal School still
farther TO the front of the leading educational
institutions of New England.

Butler Finally Finishes His Testimony

Butler Finally Finishes His Testimony,
Boston, May 12.-In the Tewksbnry hearing
to-day Gov Butler introduced telegram from
the superintendent of the Soldiers Homo at
Augusta, Me-, showing the cost of provisions
at that institution, which he claimed was
much less than at Tewksbury.
Francis b. Record, o professional hookkeep-
err, testified to the loose system Of keeping ac-
counts at Tewksbury. AS far as he knew
there was no evidence to show that the super
intendent had received concessions from
tradesmen.
The governor here announced that with the
exception OF two or three books and one witt
ness, he had no further testimony TO offer. His
excuse for protFactng the hearing was that he
doomed it his duty TO present accumulative
testimony upon certain points in view of char
ges in the public prints that he had proven
nothing.
MIR. Brown expressed surprise at the inten-
ton of the governor to close SO early, and said
he desired to produce witnesses In rebuttal. In
many instances the evidence only amounted to
insinuations which he thought could he ex-
planned He would show that the character
OF some witnesses was bad, and that the in
mates had beon properly treated, and he called
attention to the fact that not over twenty.out
of 10000 who had passed through tho inetitu-
tion since Marsh took charge, have appeared to
testify TO abuses there.

Eanlan and Kennedy.

The Herald says: At least nine-tenths of
these who offer opinions on the probable out
come Of the Point of Pines boat race, between
Hanlan and Kennedy, are confident that the
champion will be the winner, and the favora-
ble reports received from Hanlan's training
quarters, together with the fine appearance
and the air of confidence be wears at all times.
is reassuring to the prophets. 1t is a remarka-
bic fact, however, that boating men in Boston,
who formerly held both Davis and Kennedy in
no very high opinion as oarsmen, now class
them among the foremost scullers, and viii
take the odds which they expect to be offered
on Kennedy One we'll known boating man of
the North End, who was hacker of Reagan
the well known Boston favorite, in conversa-
tion few days SINCE said he and others at the
North end had looked upon the Reagan-Davis
match as the easiest one to win they ever had
made. The result astonished them all, end he
and many others have since had great respect
for the sculling ability of CDR" Davis, as well
as for his judgment in making matches. Ken
nedy 2, said the North end man, sis a sensible
and careful matchmaker, and together the lit
tie Por;landers must have well studied the
chances of success and defeat before they de-
cided TO engage Hanlan in a race. Had Davis
not retired from racing. he, instead of Kenne-
dy, would probably have been the first to close
with Hanlsn. The champion was correct when
he said few DAYS ago that Kennedy can out
row Ross. | believe with Al Smith Of New
York. that Kennedy will give Hanlan the
closest race the champion has ever had; yet 1
must confess that think Hanlan's confidence,
gained by his long racing experience, will land
him at the finish just far enough ahead to win
the race for him. There Is greater interest in
this event than l have ever before known in
any aquatic contest, aud would not be sur
prised TO see the railroads taxed to their ut
most carrying capacity ON the day Of the race.
The boat which Ruddock built for Wallace
Ross year ago, and which was boxed aud
ready for shipment last summer was shipped
TO st. John recently, and is now being used by
Ross ON the KennebeccaSis river.
Hanlan's new shell, in which he will row
Kennedy at the Point OF Pines, was covered in
by Ruddook Saturday. and will be finished,
with the exception of vanishing, by Tuesday
or Wednesday, The boat will be shipped 10
Lowell on Friday or Saturday.
