WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The President
and Secretary Lamar appreciate that to
eXpel the cattlemen from the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe leased lands within the forty
days prescribed in the proclamation will
entail needless sacrifice and pecuniary
losses without any compenSating advantage
TO tie Government or Indians, and hence
are disposed to grant additional time. No
further action however, will be taken until
the return of General Sheridan and the
committee of cattlemen, who are expected
to arrive during the week, shall have had an
opportunity to present their side of the
case. The report scattered about last night
that a maximum extension of one hun
dred days had been solicited is incOr-
rect. 10 exact period of extension has as
yet been suggested to or considered by the
Administration, and this matter will not be
definitely settled until the President has
been advised of the exact situation of af-
fairs. 4 delegation OF cattlcmen are in the
city and have called on the President and
the Secretary of the Interior and have asked
for an extension of time allowed them to re-
move their cattle from the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indian Reservations under the re-
cent order of the President. There is large
quantity of land in other reservations which
is occupied in the same way. but no order
of this kind has been made in regard to
them. although this may be regarded as
precedent for further action to follow.

frightened. One sail boat capsiZed, but
nothing serious followed. A steamer
landed during the storm, and the usual
