THE WARLIKE CHEYENNES.
Critical State of Affairs at the Agency-A
Bloody Outbreak Thought Possible.

WICHITA, Kan, June 26-The Daily Eagle is
in receipt Of spt,ial from the Cheyenne In
dian agency, late this evening. Of which sy-
nopsis is transmitted by. the Associated Press.
The situation at the agency looks critical, and
the officers employees and traders are liable to
be attacked by the infuriated Cheyennes at any
moment The Indians are drilling daily in regular
warlike form. The arrival of the troops under
Sumner only seems to have stirred up the In
dians, who have put out extra spies in all direc-
tions. Without prompt and efficient action on
the part of the government, a bloody raid and
massacre will result. Tho special, which from
reliable man at the agency, says that the Indians
are in sufficient force to butcher all the whites,
including the troops now stationed there. The
Indians keep their ponies picketed night and
day, and they are we'll armed and have plenty of
ammunition. The people at the agency dare not
attempt to reach the Kansas border. Five COM
panies of the Fifth Cavalry, under Major Car
penter passed through this city by special train
to-day, and will be within one days march OF
Reno by tomorrow.
Fears of an Indian Raid in Kansas.
WARRINGTON, June Ex-senator ingalls, to-
day received telegram from the Governor Of
Kansas saying an incursion of the Cheyennes,
similar to that of 1873, is apprehended, and that
great uneasiness prevails. The western part of
Kansas has been rapidly settled up this season,
and the newcomers arc in very defenseless con-
dition. Governor Martin expressed an earnest
desire that the Secretary of War should station
troops on the southwestern border of the State
TO guard against any attack from Indians
Secretary Endicott being out of the city, Senator
Ingalls, called upon the President with this tele-
gram, and was assured that the matter had been
a subject of earnest consideration by the Presi-
Gent and his Cabinet and that active measures
have been taken by both the Interior and War
Departments to prevent if possible, any out
break of the Indians. and to repress it promptly
should one occur.
General Augur has reported to the War
Department that he has sixteen companies-ten
of cavalry and six of infantry-at Fort Reno
]. T. The last company arrived at the fort to-
day. The General apprehends no immediate
outbreak of the Cheyennes They have been
informed of the proposed appointment of a COM
mission to investigate their troubles and express
. willingness to await the result.

The Indians, Force at the Custer Massacr

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Major Reno; one of
the Indian fighters SO prominent in the campaign
which ended in the Custer massacre has long
wished to know how many Indians were actually
engaged. He has now had his opportunity to
to find this out. He visited Sitting Bull, who is
here, and, by means Of an interpreter, ascer-
tanned that there were probably from 5000 to
6,000 Indians in the fight-a force strong enough
to have easily overwhelmed both General
Clusters and Major Reno's forces. Sitting Bull
was not very willing to talk of the details, as he
has still an apprehension that the whites may
punish him for the part he took in that massacre.
Major Reno, in his official report. fixed the num-
ber Of indians at 8, 900.

In IT Is true that Mr.. Pierrepont Ed
wards, British Consul at New York, has
been lobbying in the vestibule of the House
Of Representatives to secure the passage of
the dynamite resolutions, it is likely that
ho will suffer for his audacity. That such
intermeddling should be resented is not
surprising.
Representative Finerty states the case
rather forcibly. "Half the Members OF the
House." he says, have Irish blood in their
veins, and yet not one of these has ever
ventured to intrude upon the attention OF
Congress legislation favorable to that
oppressed island, while this English repre-
sentative does not hesitate to lobby in an
undigniied and shameless manner for
legislation favorable to England ami hostile
to Ireland"
Mr.. Finerty adds that "Mr. Edwards
action is new departure in English di plo-
macy in Washington. Great Britains
lobbying here" he says, SIS generally ac-
complished through the medium of dinners
and suppers, where the common blood,
religion and language is boosted, and an
attempt made to wash ont in champagne

and a stab in the back in 1861"
