the report, which have been received re-

Indians. He says that one regiment is al
ready on its way to check the revolt; that
other troops are available for the purpose,
and that no further action is needed at thi
time. The secretary expresses the opinion,

break by these Indians the military force:
viii prove inadequate.

Indians had broken away from the reserva
ton and were now in the Pan Handle
north of Texas, The Cheyennes are re
garded as the most dangerous Indians il
the Indian territory.
Gen Pope telegraphs the war depart
ment that the cause of Indian lawlessnes
is want Of food; that the Indians are hal
starved, and the situation is about this: Tn,
Indians being in want Of food, leave thei
reservation to obtain the same, and tn,

at West Point, has been submitted to the
secretary of war by Governor Hoadly,
president of the board The discipline Of
the academy is said to be far more strict
than the graduate is called upon
to submit to, but is apparently cal
cnlated to inculcate the necessity
for absolute obedience. The impression
created by the cadets ON and off duty was
very favorable and creditable to the institu-
tion. The board recommends that every
graduate should be an expert in the use of
the rife. Increased opportunity for prae-
ticing craftsmanship with small arms is ad-
vocated. The conduct of the financial
affairs of the academy is commended An
appropriation of $4,000 for new gym
nasium is recommended, and S215, 900 more
for various other improvement 1t is
