the President and his Cabinet, and active
measures have been taken by both the In
terror and War Departments to prevent, if
possible, any outbreak of the Indians and
to reprrss it promptly should one occur

SITUATION CRITICAL.
WICHITA, KAN, June 27.-The Daily
Eagle is in receipt of a special from the
Cheyenne Indian agency late last evening,
OF which synopsis is transmitted the As
sociated Press. The situation at the agency
looks critical, and the officers, employees and
traders are liable to be attacked by the in
furlated Cheyenncs at any moment. The
Indians are drilling daily i'll regular war
like form. The arrival of the troops under
Sumner only seems to have stirred the
Indians, who put out extra spies in
all directions. Without prompt and
efficient action on the part of the Gov
eminent bloody raid and massacre Will
be the result. The special, which is from
reliable man at the agency, says that the
Indians are in sufficient force to butcher all
the whites, including the troops now sta
toned there. The Indians keep their
ponies picketed night and day, and they are
well armed and have plenty of ammunition.
The people at the agency dare not attempt
trying to reach the Kansas border. Five
companies of the Fifth Cavalry, under
Major Carpenter, passed through this city
by special train to-day, and will be within
one days march of Reno by tomorrow
morning.

scouts and infantry will enter the Sierra I
