twenty head OF cattle were captured
in the ravine yesterday. The rebels
have not been seen here since the day
OF the battle. To all appearances they
suffered severely. Word has Just been
brought In by scout from the west
side OF the river that $50 half-breeds
had crossed to that side. Thirty teams
were sent from Humboldt to Battouche

WAsHINGToN March 4--Although it had been
supposed that President Arthur would call for Mr..
Cleveland at the Arlington Hotel and from there
drive TO the Capitol, it was finally decided that the
Presidentelect should receive the hospitality of the
White House before his Inauguration. There had
been stirring scenes about the Executive Mansion
in the early morning, and the wisest of loungers
who watched the handsome carriages drawn by four
horses each dash through the grounds, could not
tell exactly what was their mission. Privacy was
the strict rule, both at the White House and at the
Arlington. The Senate Committee had arrived at
the White House at early hour ready to escort
the Presdenteect and the President to the Capitol
At about half past Senator Hawiey was driven to
Willard's Hotel in q coach drawn by four white
steeds and presently returned with the smiling
Vice-President-elect at his side. Meanwhile the
Presidents four bay horses drew an open barouchc
up To the door and Senators Sherman and Ransom
drove over to the Arlington. Soon the cxpectant
crowd beheld the handsome equipage returning
with Mr.. Cleveland sitting beside Senator Sherman
and wearing q serene expression. A faint cheer ran
through the thrOng as the iron gates shut and the
carriage rolled up to the entrance President
Arthur courteously welcomed his successor, and
tho party passed into the East Room.
At 1890 General Slocum and staff rode into the
grounds and sent word that the escort was!ready,
and the cavalcade halted few moments while
carriages were being filled. In the Presidents
carriage sat the incoming and t-going Executives,
Mr.. Cleveland being on the left of the President,
and Senators Sherman and Ransom on the opposite
seat. The second carriage contained Mr.. Hendricks
and Senator hawley. A furry of waving handker-
chiefs hats and canes greeted them as they drove
out and took their places in the procession. The
United States regulars came first, marching from
curb TO curb and eifectually clearing the street.
Following these came the Marine Corps and band
All the regular troops made fine appearance and
deserved the applause which the spectators
bestowed. Mr.. Cleveland held his silk hat in his
