The Horrors of an Awful Road.

The London Standard prints the
following extract from letter from an
officer of the Scots Guards at Suakim,
in which an account is given of the
state of the ground after the fight at
McNeill's zereba:
We marched back from Tamai) to
the zereba that night, and bivouacked
among the corpses outside, winch,
though buried, asserted their presence

we marched back to Suakim, never

The Beauties Of Mexican Feather
- Work.

While in Mexico tried hard to
find OUT how they made the lovely
birds on cards which they offered for
sale on the streets. A friend took me
tethe house of one of those artists.
IL was little hovel, where he sat on
the mud floor and, toiled. But when
he heard us coming he put away all
his work and would not let us see it.
He was an Indian, with brown skin
and black, straight hair. He wore
ragged clothes and had an old blanket
: TO keep him warm at night. Poor as
he was, no money would tempt him to
show us the secret process he had
learned from his father, which had
been kept in the family for hundreds
ofyears. Great skill is required to
Ptoduce a perfect picture. First, the
Indian traces on the card the outlines
OF the body of the bird in wax, just
enough for the feathers to stick to.
Then he begins at the lower part and
places them on, one at time, one row
1 tapping over the ether as d slater lays
states. He works very slowly and pa
tiently. Perhaps this is the secret OF
his perfect work, and the reason that
no other people have been able to
equal him. The result is, bird that
looks as though it might sing or fly.
The eyes are made with small glass
beads, and the bill and feet are painted
so nicely that they appear to be part
OF the bird. Then he paints a twig or
branch for it forest on, or makes one
from a feather, and his work is done,

RieIss REpa.

QUEBEC, July 3.-A letter has Just been
received by DR.. Fisher from Louis Riel.
After speaking Of his ready surrender, his
chance to escape if he wished to do so and
the specific effect his surrender had in
bringing the rebellion to q close, Riel says it
should have some weight in securing hin,a
hearing before the, supreme court and in
Lower Canada. for it Is there alone that he
can procure all his witnesses. He says he
was in,the United States laboring to create
a future for himself when he was invited
among the half-breeds to assist them in pc
titioning the government. He worked
peacefully until the time when arms were
taken up. He says also that he never
dreamed of war, but by intrigue and
forged letters a complication of affairs
was brought about by interested
dealers. He desired to return to the
ten to him. On March 10 they were pro-
ceeding to St. Laurent to celebrate the
feast of st. Joseph, and had to pass st.
Antoine on route, when they learned that
500 policemen were coming by forced
marches to dispense them and kill their
leaders. When the half-breeds learned
this they stopped their wagons and made
an arrest of an Indian agent. They also
made one or two other arrests. Riel says
he was not present when these arrests were
made, but he was notified, and when he
went to the place he found the people had
decided to take up arms in their defense.
Instwenty=four hours the whole population
were in arms. He concludes by asking not
to be treated like murderer and not to be
chained before the jury have pronounced
upon his case and feels confident they will
not find him guilty. He says his incarcera-
ton is telling upon his health, notwith~
standing the kind attention. of his jailers.

Pana ma Revolution.

PANAMA, July 3.-News comes from
the Atlantic coast-that,the ports of Barran-
quilla and Sayainilla are again in the hands
OF the government forces. the revOlutionists
having gone bag and baggage up the river
to some point in the interior,
which cannot be OWNED with &C
curacy. This movement, some assert,
is TO intercept Gen. Quinters COlderon, who
is on the way with 1000 men TO Join the
loyal forces IN the neighborhood of Cartha-
gena. Camerger'S force is sufficiently
strong to destroy that of his adversary.
Others aver that Camerger is on the way
for Bogota Itself, and that he wiz pass La
Gloria, where Quinter's force is supposed
10 be, without giving battle, in order to lose
no men before arriving at the capital. There
is said to be no force of any moment in the
neighborhood of Bogota, and the capital
would fall an easy capture TO the bold and
energetic revolutioniSt. The capture of the
capital would not necessarily signify the
triumph of the revolution. but il would
give it fresh impetus, arouse the diSaffected
in other parts of the republic and kindle
anew the slumbering fires of revolt. There
are others, however, who believe that the
rebels are bound for the states of Santander
and IntiOngua, where they can easily

and his associates evidently in
tend TO fight, as they refused TO
ratify the conditions of agreement drawn
up the other day on board the vessel Ten

Hernandez. These conditions We're favor
able 10 the revolutiOniSts and loyalistS alike
and it was hoped would end all trouble.
Camager is supposed to have received news
favorable to the revolution from sources
that were not made public. The
only result Of the peace conference was the
interchange of prisoners. Admiral JOuett
has not yet returned from Savinilla. where
he has remained in the hope that he could
be of service in arranging peace between

MILWAUKEE. Wis, July s. Several
weeks ago letter was published by Hugh
Lewis, a one-armed soldier, and Demo-
crat, denouncing the administration of Pres
ident Cleveland and affirming his purpose
thencefOrward to act with the Republican
party. Now Gen. Bragg publishes a cor
respOndence between himself and Lewis to
show that Lewis was drunk when he signed
the letter which il is alleged was prepared by
anotherperson. There appears TO be no doubt
that the letter expressed sentiments which
were freely uttered by Lewis al
the time of publication. He is an
old personal friend of Gen. Bragg and the
current reports from Washington at that
time represented that Bragg was without
influence with the president, and that
Bragg himself was calling the president
Tycoon" Since then the general has been
partly appeased, and he has apparently Ia
bored with effect to recall his admirer and
disciple into the Democratic fold. Another
story is that Lewis was taking a long rest
between drinks-that he had been sober tor
an unusual periOd-when he prepared the
letter, and that his new letter is the inyme-
date consequence of his having fallen into
his old habit.

hour, and Clara Olander received
internal injuries which will prove fatal
Mr. Olander was a well-known furniture
dealer of East Boston. The party was
warned of the. approach of the train by the
flagman. The train was running at the
rate of twenty-five or thirty miles per hour.
Mr. Olander was go years of age, Frederick

INDIANS AND COWBOYS.
Difficulty OF stopping the Constant
Warfare.

WASHINGTON, July 8. - EX-Delegate
Ouray of Arizona and Mr.. Hughes of that
territory called upon the commissioner of
Indian affairs to-day to urge the disarming
of the Indians of the San Carlos reServa-
ton in Arizona. They expressed the belief
that this movement, If adopted, would pre-
vent conflict that seemed TO be impend-
Ing between the Indians now on the reSer-
Walton and the white settlers. Commits
sloner Atkins met the request with a propO-
sition that the cowboys also be disarmed
and then proceeded TO explain his views
upon the Indian question at some length.
lie said he failed to see any reason why the
cowboys should carry arms when the Indi-
ans were diSaTmed, and added that it was
entirely improper for any person, white or
black or red, 10 be permitted TO ride around
the country with a Winchester rifle and
army revolver, free to shoot anyone in sight.
The following telegram relative to the
Ute Indians was received at the war depart
ment this afternoon from Gen. Schofeld:
Gen. Augur telegraphs the following from
Col. Bradley: 'COl. Swain telegraphs that
the Ute chiefs promise not To make any
more repriSals for the killing of the Ute
family on Dolores. He SAYS full ratiOns
should be issued Immediately to those In
dians TO prevent their leaving their reserva-
ton TO hunt. He invites attention to the
immediate necessity for feeding these In
dams, so as 10 prevent them leaving their
reservation. 1t is impossible to prevent
trouble between them and the cowboys
when they leave the reservation TO hunt"
NO RED SKIN WAR.
WASHINGTON, July 3.-Adjutant Gen
eral Drum has received report from Gen.
Augur, dated Fort Leavenworth, Kan,
June 26, in regard to the reported outbreak
of the Ute Indians in Colorado. Gen. Au-
CUR says that Carlisle. from whom most Of
the sensational kilograms about the Indians
emanate, is the agent of an English cattle
syndicate, not one of whom, he is informed,
is an American citizen or intends
to be. He is also informed that
the syndicate does not own the land upon
which its cattle range and that it is public
land. Gen. Augur enclOSeS extracts from
the Rocky Mountain News of Denver. which
say that the stories of the Ute troubles, if
not entirely without foundation. are greatly
exaggerated. Possibly there has been some
trouble, the general thinks, but there is
every reason TO believe 1t has been brought
on by the cowboys, who have been spelling
for fight for some time, and probably re-
solved TO shoot all Indians found away from
their reservation. The report that whites
and Indians have been killed lacks eonfiTma-
ton.

NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT.
Exhibitions by the Crack Militis

PHILADELPHIA, July 3.-The attend

is steadily growing. To-day 5000 people
paid TO enter the drill grounds. In the
morning artillery contests were concluded
by Battery A of Danville, ILL.,, Capt.
Denny, and the second battery of the

Springfield rifle with safety notch, and the
members claim that the handling of their
pieces was rendered difficult by reason of
the safety notch. The Montgomery GrayS
did splendidly, and the indianapolis Light
infantry was rewarded with considerable
applause for its uniformity and military
precision. The Alexandria Light infantry
also made good showing. 1t is said through
out the camps that the
HOUSTON LIGHT GUARDS d.
of Texas will be awarded the first prize,
purse of $4,000, while the Montgomery
Grays or LOmax Rifles may carry off the
second prize. The judges will prOpably
render their decision tomorrow. The only
arrival to-day was the Miller GrenadierS
from Richmond, Ind, nineteen men. They
had been under orders to escort Gov. Gray
of Indiana to the camp, but on Thursday
morning the governor announced that he
would not be able to go to Philadelphia on
account of pressing official business. After
the competitive drilling to-day, battery f,
Fifth United States artillery, with four
guns and four horses, under the command
of Capt. Randolph, gave
AN EXHIBITION DRILL,
which proved the greatest attraction of the
day. After that, Maj. Ryan of the
Battalion state fencibles, National
guard of Pennsylvania, marched
upon the field with $50 cadets from Girard
college, headed by the college band. The
youngsters were loudly applauded, for they
showed that they knew how to handle a
gun about as well as many of the crack
companies that are competing for prizes.
An exhibition in Calling gun practice by
battery 2 of New York. an exhibition drill
by the Busch Zouaves of st. Louis
and dress parade of the First Ohio regi-
ment, Lieut.. Col. Hawkins commanding,

general health of the troops is excellent.
This evening the commissioned officers
were banQueted by the First Regiment
