SERIOUS TROUBLE INEVITABLE.
A Collision Between the Indians and
Soldiers Liable at any Moment

WICHITA, Kansas, July 10.-Dis-
catches to the Eagle, OF yesterdays
date, from the Territory leave little
doubt that the situation, there is more
menacing than has been admitted by
the authorities, and prompt action by
the department is necessary to prevent
an outbreak. Agent Dyer. under in
structions from the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, undertook to make a
census of the CheyeEnas, but was
but was stopped By dog soldiers, who
threatened with death any who should
report for enrolment, st the same Time
placing two of their number as guards
over the agents sotfice. They stopped
work on the farms and threatened Dyer
with death if he persisted in
carrying out his orders. They openly
declare that Dyer must go, as he re-
STREETS their liberty. Dyer has simply
been trying to Keep them az work. On
Wednesday night, after midnight. a
party of painted dog soldiers rode into
the agency and called for the agent.
They were told he had gone over to
Fort Reno, and after a short council
the Indians rode away. Their spokes-
man was the same man who cut the
telegraph wires at Cantonment. Officers
at Fort Reno say that it. is their inten-
ton to bring all these disorderly bands
into subjectIon, and they are awaiting
the arrival of reinforeements that have
been ordered, as greater force must
be concentrated at Fort Reno or Can
Torment.

Mysterious Disappearance.

senior member of the large cattle firm Of
w. A. Jackson & Bro, is mysteriously
absent from his home. About three
weeks ago Jackson took a bunch of cat

worth of the firms paper is held by the
bankers of Fort Worth, Dallas, Waco
and Hillsboro. The Hlllsboro National
Bank, Waco State Bank and several
other creditors have attached all the
available property belonging TO the firm

cattlemen who endorsed heavily for

TRACING THEM HOME.
Investigation of the Frauds in the
Navy Department..

WASHINGTON, Jaly 10.-The Secretary
of the Navy purposes effecting an en-
tire reorganization of the nine govern
ment navy yards rot later than next
fall. An investigation looking to this
end GAS been in progress for some
weeks. Committees at various yards
have been examining the books and
papers, covering period of ten years
These committees have been, and are
being, assisted by special commits
sion sent from the navy de-
partment. Reports are to be sent to
Washington and compared with the
books here The object of the investi-
CATION is to- learn whether or not the
books will agree with the accounts in
the department at Washington. 1t is
thought that already a discovery has
been made that the books of the depart
ment show that certain materials
which ought to be on hand in one of
the yards, cannot be found. AT the Mare
Island navy yard, California, the in
vestigation will be most thorough, be-
cause the reports show needless ex-
penditures of money at that place, The
secretary has been furnished with the
names of number of persons who say
that they can give evidence of fraud in
that yard on the repair of United States
vessels.
Twill the secretary order an investi-
Cation of repairs on the vessels in all the
yards ?" was askedsof the naval officer
to day, who is acquainted with Secre
tary Whitney's Intentions.
ut is useless to order an investiga-
tion," he replied. Money has been
spent in some cases recklesslv, and I
expect, fraudulently. but it c-nnot be
recovered. Mare Island is great dis
lance from Washington, and the officers
have seemed to feel that they could act
with impunity. have heard it said
that rotten wood has been placed in the
vessels being repaired, that they might
soon be returned for additional repairs.
A little more than three years ago the
Pensacola was condemned at the Mare
island yards. She was brought to the
Atlantic and sent on a three years
cruise. and only recently re
ceived repairs that officials in California
said were necessary when she was ther e.
The charges are higher at Mare Islands
than IN the private yards on the Pacific
Coast.
The coast official had a vessel taken
there for repairs she needed but little
work, yet the Mare Island officials
wanted 5000. The work was performed
by private company for 81. 500. In
the proposed reorganization, the Secre-
tary will manage to dispense with the
services of so lmany bosses; the yards
are full OF master this and master that,
anG all get IS day, whether they
work Or not. Four hours is q day s
work in some instances.
A sailmaker went from Boston to one
i'of the yards, and began working eight
hours day, when he was told to labor
less time, that he could not be allowed
to accomplish so much work.

the following telegram:
CHEYENsE. WYo:, July 10, 1885.
Hon. N. J. Colnan, Commissioner of Agri-
culture, Washington, d, G.
Having seen in the morning news
papers a copy of the telegram sent to
cerning the stoppage of'the cattle trail
phatic protest against several of the
statements made, as being untrue and
misleading. It is true that an
armed force is in the vicinity
of the old trail. 1t is there
for the protection of leaseholders, on
account of Mr.. Blocher and other
drivers having publicly announced their
intention of crossing these leases in
defiance of the law. They will not
meet with any opposition. until they
enter those leased lands, and if the law
decides that they can cross such
lands, they viii meet with no
armed opposition. In the meantime
we believe they legally have no right to
cross over the leased lands, and further,
that the committee on the law of the
! country, as well as the provisions IN the
animal industry bill. will protect all
healthy cattle from inroads OF Texas
fever. The majority of cattle coming
up the trails are from districts from
which, in former years, Texas fever
has sprung. The statement that they
are healthy is pure fabrication. There
is no objection to the cattle passing up
the old trail, but these herds propose to
leave the said trail and drive across
leased lands held by myself and others,
over which there never has been q
public trail, and stock men, who
hold leases and have cattle ranging
en- such lands object to herds coming
NY from infected districts, passing over
their lands and destroying the healthy
cattle by communicating Texas fever to
them. 1 appeal to you and others in
authority at Washington to disregard
any communications from interested
parties, and let the law take its course
We have right to try the case ON its
merits. and we propose to stand by the
decisions of the tribunals of the coun-
try. 99.

DEMINa, N. NJ, Dec. 24.--Leading
citizens of Silver City held a meeting
yesterday to devise means Tor prose-
cutting war OF determination
against the murderous Apaches. II
was ct first thought that The Gov
eminent would purchase forty or iif-
ty bloodhounds to track the Indians,
both Generals Cook and Bradley
favoring the proposition as the only
really available means of pursuing
the red butchers. Word was receiv-
ed from Santa Fe that the army of
ficers were willing to recommend the
employment of bloodhounds, but
thought it would be several months
before che War Department would
act upon their recommendation
Upon learning this the citizens called
the meeting and determined &c raise
money by subscription tor the pur'
chase of a pack of bloodhounds and
for again equipping and putting To-
cal militia in the field.
Wealthy ranchmen in attendance
pledged over $4,000 for the purchase
of bloodhounds. 1t was also deter
mined to raise picked company 0
800 experienced Indian fighters from
the several districts in the territory
who will Immediately take the fielo
