General Howard has persistently refused

strictly confidential" said General How.
ird TO your correspondent, "and I can
not possibly even Intimate where these

Importance that the people Of the com

The general conclusion IL that the
troops Of the department are all 10 be
rapidly concentrated at Salt Lake, In an
Liclpatlon Of an attack upon the Gentlles
by the Mormons. Trouble Of serious
nature has been brewing there for the last
lew days. The arrest, conviction anti
Imprisonment Of Mormon leaders fol

bitterness, but have caused them 10 re-
aliatc by importing prostitutes from Sar

terously shot. The Mormons aud their
,apers denounce this shooting as the act
II an assassin, who made the first assault,
md the Mormon press Is calling for blood
ltonement. These are the causes thai
make Salt Lake volcano to-day, liable
20 break forth at any moment. Threats
iave been made that the entire Gcntll,
population win be cleaned out and excite
nent and fears are Increasing from day Il
lay.
