WINNIPEG, Man, Special Telegram, May T.
Later and fuller dispatches received from
Battleford regarding the fight last Saturday
indicate that the result was not ON favorable
for our troops rs at first believed, and the
opinion is expressed by military men here that
Otter had to retreat on Battleford, fighting oil
tho way. From comprehensive account re-
ceiyed, the following extract is taken: 81
The force reached its destination at daybreak
lowed by guns We at once come upon the
tepeee, and the Indians opened fire, The In
dams had laid trap for us and wore scattered
all around with half. breeds among them. At
the outset they charged and attempted to cap
ture the guns They came within twenty yards
and were driven back Il by mounted
police battery and the Cat
ling opened fire, moving the enemy
down. The battle ragged fiercely, then,wavered

almost completely surrounded. The Battle

open. For five hours the battle ragged The
Indians were subjected to CALLING fire. and
with the aid Of the Calling gun and the two sew
en-pounders whitening storm Of shell was
poured into the brush. Orders were
given by Col Otter to withdraw from
tho advantageous position they occupied,
as We were very much exposed while
the enemy was comparatively safe from
fire. This movement was noticed by the In
dians, and an attempt made to cut of the re-
treat by number Of redskins massing them
selves on the left Hank of the troops. Otter
finally succeeded in retiring from the field,
and fought his way as he retreated on Battle

themselves victors and they will assume the

says Of the condition Of Gen. Grant: .sDuripg

much improved His appetite is better and his
swallowing Is not attended with much pain.
Locally his disease shows slight tendency to
progress. The sloughy exudalion has disap-

place. This condition still involves the right
and posterior parts Of the pharynx, the right
tonsilar region and the right side Of the base
OF tho tongue. The palatlal curtian is still con.
siderably infltratee, although all signs Of
acute infammatory trouble have disap-:
peared AT the base of the urrla small

The Dolphin Rejected

The Secretary Of the Navy, after several
trials Of the vessel by a competent and i'm
partial board of inspectors, submitted
three points relative TO the acceptance OF
the Dolphin to the Attorney General for
decision. The Attorney General no. DIS
that the Dolphin cannot be accepted by
the Government; that no contract exists
between John Roach, the builder OF the
Dolphin, and tie Gov, rnment, and that
the large sum of money paid said Roach
by the Government for the vessel may be
recovered. The vessel has been found de-
fectvc in three particulars, two of which
are fundamental. She does not develop
the power and speed which the contract
calls for; she is not staunch and stiff
enough for the service expected Of her
and the general character If her work
manship does not come up to the require
ments Of the contract
The Attorney General argues that The
Act of Congress autorizing the construc-
ton of dispatch boat, provides that no
such vessel shall be accepted unless com
pleted in strict conformity with the con-
tract and with the advice and assistance

A sensation has been created in

Brick Pomeroy that he will receive
subscriptions for the erection of a

executed as conspirator in the as

murder in her heart. He points to
the fact that all the members of the
Military Commission that condemned
Mrs. Surratt to death are dead, ex.

1t is rumored, says the San Bernar
dino (Cal.) Times, that an effort is t.
be made to annex the Sandwich Is
land to the United States and that ex
minister Daggett has gone to Wash
ington as envoy extraordinary fol
King Kalakaua to endeavor to ar
range some terms by which the is
lands can yield up their autonomy
and become a part of our republic.
The islands are becoming American in
population and sentiment, and are
largely tributary to the q. S., but i
is doubtful whether they would be a
desirable acquisition for us-whether
they would be as profitable to us as a
part of our nation as they are under
their own government. In times of
war outlying provinces become rather
a source of weakness than of strength,
and it would cost more to take care
of the Sandwich Islands in that event
than they would be worth to us. We
now have the greater part of the adj
vantages to be derived from owning
the Sandwich Islands, without the
trouble or expense of looking after
them, and their possession may not be
desirable New Northwest.

A New PEOPLE. -Lieutenant Holm
OF Denmark, has been exploring east
Greenland, and spent two winters in
that country, and news of his expe-
dltion up to the beginning of last
winter, has been received. He saws
the inhabitants of east Greenland
have nothing whatever in common
with the Esquimaux. The west coast
natives from Cape Farewell to Smith
Sound speak the same language with
small dialectic differences, but the Ian
guage of east Greenland is entirely
different, and the people, unlike the
short, stout Esquimaux, are as tall as
the north Europeans Lieut.. Holm
has found them very friendly and
obllglng, and they have rendered his
expedition much service. He is sure
that they are not descendants of the
Norsemen who are said to have foun-
ded colonies on the east coast. He
intended to winter at large settle
ment in 90 deg north latitude, which
have never visited. In all
his wanderings along the coast he had
not found the slightest trace of any
European colonization.
