 TOPEKA, July 1O.-General Augur. com handing the department, sends to Governor Martin copies of the two orders issued to the commanding officers of troops now in south western Kansas. Governor Martin states that the action of General Augur has been prompt, energetic and effective, and with the troops stationed as General Augur has directed he believe the southwestern iron tier will be fully protected and an Indian invasion will be made impossible. The first directs Lieutenant Colonel Compton, now at Crossfeld, the terminus of the route of the Southern Kansas railroad, to move his com mand west to point fifty miles south of Dodge City where the road from that place to Fort Supply crosses the Ci1nmaron, there establish camp and from that point scout east and west.

The general it is understood will take an active part in suppressing this CheY- enne trouble. General Sheridan's departu1e @ was at the instance of the following letter to that officer:
 EXECUTIVE MANSION, ] WASHINGTON, July 10, 1885.
 General P. H. Sheridan:
 Sir-In view of the possible disturbances that may occur among the Indians now in the Indian Territory and the contem plated concentration of troops in that locality 1 deem it desirable that you proceed at once to the location where the trouble is to be apprehended and advise with and direct those in command as to the steps to be taken to prevent disorder and depreda- tions by the Indians and as to the disposition of the troops. Your acquaintance with the history and the habits and customs of these Indians leads me also to request that you invite statement on their part as to real or fancied injustices between them, or to any other causes that may lead to discontent, and to inform yourself generally. You are jus tifed in assuring them that any cause of complaint will be fully examined by the authorities here and if wrongs exist they should be remedied. I think I hardly need add that they must be assured fully of the determination on the part of the government to enforce their peaceful conduct and by all the power it has at hand to prevent and punish acts of lawlessness and any outrages upon our settlers. Yours truly,
 GROVER CLEVELAND.

He will personally conduct the campaign if necessary, and it is understood that s telegram already sent to General Miles indicates that the. troubles are to be immediately suppressed even if it involves wholesale slaughter of the lndi- ans All the available troops are being rap idly concentrated for the purpose of 8 vigor- ous campaign if this proves necessary.
