The Latest puel Said to BE HOAX.

New YORK, July Cit is reported, this
morning, that the duel alleged to have been
fought between j. A. Knox and D. B. She
nan, yesterday. and which resulted in the
wounding of Knox, is a hoax, and that the
principals never left the city. Many are of
the opinion that the whole thing is a practi-
cal Joke, originated by Knox in his own in
terest, and it is certain he had no intention
of fighting. Neither of the men have shown
themselves since the reported breach be-
tween them, and nothing definite is known
in regard to their movements. .5

Colonel nges Reported To Be Defe.

HELENA NJ. T., July 6-News has been
received from the north that the troops
under command of Northumberland Ilges,
of Fort Assinaboine, out on scout to drive
back the British Crees, met the enemy on
this side of the line on Tuesday, and were
defeated by the Indian, who greatly out
numbered the troops No particulars of the
engagement have been learned, but the
report is that courier was sent in all haste
to Fort Assinaboine for reinfcrcem ents. The
report of Ilges's repulse is doubted here, as
he is an officer who, even with a small com
mand, would make a determined stand. 1t
is reliably stated that Ilgess command has
met with no disaster.

agreed to surrender the reservation in Wash
ington Territory and settle with his people
on the Colvile reservation, adjoining Chief

OUR INDIAN WARDS.
In a Conference, Secretary Teller Declines
To Be Responsible for Them

To Be Responsible for Them.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-Secretary Lincoln,
accompanied by General Crook, called at the
Department of the Interior, this afternoon,
and held a long conference with Secretary
Teller with regard to the disposition of the
Apache prisoners. At the conclusion of the
conference Secretary Teller informed a rep
resentative of the Associated Press that he
had declined to receive the captives on the
San Carlos reservation and be responsible
for their good behavior; that proposition
was made to turn over to the War Depart
ment police control of the reservation, and
hold that department responsible for the
good behavior of the Indians, leaving the
agent responsible only for financial matters
pertaining to the agency. After discussing
the proposition it was decided to leave the
matter in allegiance for the present. Another
conference will be held for the purpose of
deciding the question. General Crook was
present at the caoinet meeting to-day, from
which it is inferred that the Indian question
was under consideration. After leaving the
Interior Depar tment, Secretary Lincoln and
General Crook proceeded to the executive
mansion, where they met the President.
The situation at San Carlos agency was thor
oughly discussed. A disposition to avoid
hasty conclusion was shown, and no plan
was definitely agreed upon. In answer to
an inquiry from reporter, Secretary Lin
coin said there was no probability of a dis
agreement between the War and Interior
Departments upon this question. "The
heads of departments do not disagree" said
he, when they are striving for a common
object. The peaceful solution of the Indian
question is OF this kind"
The Secretary thought a plan would be
decided upon within day or two.

Salome, at Galveston.
GALVESTON, July 6.-The man reported
yesterday as i'll on board the bark Salome,
recently from Vera Cruz, has since died of
black vomit. Another sailor on board the

quarantine, the city has established a picket
boat to patrol the water in the neighbor-

high-licence for dram shops, in conformity

form with those for dram shops, but it was

high as for dram shops.

no part of our policy to create and main
tain a navy to cope with that OF the other
great powers OF the world. We have no
wish for foreign conquest and the peace
which we have long enjoyed is in no SEEM
