the Navy purposes effecting an entire reor-
ganization of the nine Government Navy
Yards not later Than next Fall. An inves-
tigation looking to this end has been In
progress for some weeks. Committees at
various yards have been examining books
and papers covering a period of ten years.
These committees have been and are being
assisted by a special commission sent from
the Navy Department. Reports are to be
sent to Washington and compared with the
books. There the object of the investiga-
ton Is to learn whether or not the books
will agree with the accounts in the Depart
ment at Washington. 1t is thought that
already q discovery has been made that the
books of the Department show that certain
| materials which ought to be on hand in
one Of the yards cannot be found. At
| Mare Island Yard the investigation will be
most thorough, because of reports OF need
less expenditures of money at hat place.
| The Secretary has been furnished with
| rumors of a number of persons who say
that they can give evidence OF fraud III
that yard in the repair OF United States
vessels.
INSTRUCTIONS Concerning the Indian
Territory Indians.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE President
this afternoon addressed the following
letter to General Sheridan:
Lieut.. General P. H. Sheridan-Sir:
In view of the possible disturbances that
may occur among the Indians of ndian
Territory and the contemplated concen-
trating of troops in that locality, l deem
it necessary that you proceed at once to
the location where the trouble is to be ap-
pretended and advise with and direct those
in command as to the steps to be taken to
prevent disorder and depredations by the
Indians. AS to the disposition of the
troops, your acquaintance with the his
| tory and habits and customs of these In
| dams leads ne also to request you to in
| vite statements on their part as to any
real or fancied injury or injustice toward
them, or any other causes that may have
led to discontent and inform yourself
generally ss TO their condition. You are
justified in assuring hem that any cause
Of complaint will be fully examined by
the authorities, and il any wrongs exist
they shall be remedied. l think I hardly
need add that they must be fully assured
OF the determination on the part of the
Government to enforce their peaceful con
duct, and by all the power it has at hand
to prevent and punish acts of lawlessness
and any outrages upon our settlers. Your
truly. GROVER CLEVELAND.

fee Of SIS, 900 each season. The fact that
negotiations had been in progress was
known to a select few, but the matter

Of it had leaked out until the necessary
papers had been signed. Murphy has for
two years been retained by Ed Corrigan.
| his fee in season being 81, 1000, but Bald
win has for some time been anxious to
secure him at almost any price. The
Baldwin stable. in point of quality, is the
best In the country, and now that a first

petent trainer is needed to make it suc-
c~essful.

TOLEDO. o., July 1.-THE reports Of
two cases of sporadic cholera here are
without foundation. and were started
thus: About so Poles are in the City
Prison, undergoing an examination on the
charge Of rioting and murder, and have
been there some ten days. July 4 or 5
we're intensely hot. The Poles are filthy
in their personal habits, being of the low
est class, aud on Sunday night it was
found that two of them were suffering
from a severe intestinal trouble. The
prison physician is credited with declaring
1t sporadic cholera, but he denies it. AS
soon as the report spread other physicians

cholera. One of the sick men has recently
recovered, the second has symptoms OF

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Secretary Whit
ney has sent an order to Captain Kirkland,
Of the New York Navy Yard. providing
for the appointment of q board TO conduct
the examinations of persons applying for
appointments to various foremanships to
the yard. He impresses the necessity Of
securing good men for the work in the
yards, and says: at is idle to expect
liberal appropriations for Navy Yard work
unless a great change is made in this re-
spect. You will treat all foremanships OF
skilled labor as vacant, and allow all pres
ent incumbents to compete. desire. |
however, a new force. aud except for q
very good cause and an exceptional record
in the Navy Yard, / shall not appoint a
foreman whose habits have been formed
through the Navy Yard work OF recent
years."
