Hundreds of men, women and children

ANOTHER INDIAN WAR.


The Trouble Between the Spioche and
Chicote Greeks Renewed.
ST. LOUIS, June 14.-A story comes
from the Indian Territory that on Tues
day morning twenty Greek light horse
men attacked a settlement of partisans of
Chief Spioche, ten miles from Tulsa, on
the Arkansas river, killed one of them
and wounded two or three others. These
men had returned to their home from Fort
Gibson by permission of Col. Bates,
who promised them protection. The
attack is regarded as defiance of the
government. The light hOrsemen belong
TO the Chicote faction of Creeks, and their
conduct in this case is considered as the
reopening of the troubles between the
Chlcote and Spioche bands, and will
likely lead to bitter war and much
bloOdshed, unless the government takes
prompt measures to preserve the peace.

COLENTURA IN MEXICO.
A Prevailing Local Epidemic Not AkiI
to Yellow Fever

Prevailing Local Epidemic Not Akin
to Yellow Fever.
VERA CRUZ, June 14.-In respect to
the report published yesterday, in New
York that a malignant type of yellow
fever prevails in this city and that large
numbers are dying, it may be stated
that the fever which prevails here
is colentura. This is local fever, and
it is not akin to yellow fever. 1t is, how
ever, unusually severe this year. The
local authorities have always prevented
the publication of the number of deaths
occurring here, so that the figures on
that point cannot be given. The death
rate at Vera Cruz is generally high, owing
to the fatal effects of this disease
among the unaccliIRated troops stationed
here. In the years 1881 and 1882 fully 70
per cent. of the deaths in this city were
among the troops. The Mexican Telegraph
Company has thirteen employees stationed
here, all foreigners, and only one of whom
has had the fever, He is now GONZALES

Popular Feeling With Him and His
Prosecution Not Wanted.
UNIONTOwN, Pa, June 1.-THE COro-
ner's jury to-day returned merely for
NAL verdict that n. l.. Dukes came to his
death by shooting at the hands of James
Mutt. Popular feeling runs high in favor
of Mutt and against his trial by the trib-
unal which acquitted Dukes for the mur-
der of young Nutt's father. 1t is said
that Mutt recently told his mother that
Dukes had met him in the street and had
laughed in his face. Upon Dukes body
was found the same revolver with which
he killed Capt. Mutt, and large bowie
knife.
Hon. Ii. w. PlayfOrd and A. ID. Boyd,
both prominent lawyers, have been re-
tanned to defend Mutt. Dukes friends
sought to retain Hon. Charles L. Boyle to
prosecute Mutt, but Mr.. Boyle refused.
1t seems doubtful whether any member
of the bar in Fayette county will appear
against Mutt, and the task will tall upon
the District Attorney.

LONDON, June 14.-Lord Carlingford,
Minister of Agriculture, received yester-
day large and influential deputatiOn
representing towns in England containing
100000 people, the object of which was
to protest against the restrictions
of the food supply. Lord CARING
ford stated that the decrease in
the importation of American cattle
was due to the fact that better prices
could be obtained in America than in
Great Britain, and not to the system OF
the compulsory slaughter of the animals
at British ports. He said that the gov
ernment would continue to act up to the
spirit of the present laws and would not
strain them in the direction of further
prohibition, as was urged by the Oppo-
nents of the importation of American
cattle.
