Since his first utterances, General Miles has been discreetly silent in public concerning the murder Of MT. Hardie, but that he has tacitly ap- proved the yelpings of his irate subor- dinate, General Grierson, appears pro- bable. The rude shock which those gentlemen received q no doubt am
 mistaken in applying that term to Grierson, and therefore apologize to the shades of all gentlemen), in the orders from the President to attend to their duty, seems to have had dele terious effect, for instead of acting with celerity melted by the needs of the situation, the entire energy ex- pended to date has been in contriving evidence how best to extricate them selves from their culpability, by vilify- ing others. There is no use in mine ing matters in what there is to be said
 upon this subject, and I but express the views of the judicious, in saying that the attempt to asperse the char acter of Dr. Haynes by cowardly, con temptible, and Grierson-like, lies is an act for which the most fitting pun ishment is that the author be left to the consideration of his own. esteem
 General Grierson's stomach may be weak and not able to digest this great truth, for it is more fitted to it's ordin- ary diet of lies. Perhaps Lieut.. Dean s report will aid him in assimilating it.

that he had no suspicious against any in.

discovered early In their search that Wha-
len, who has been In Mr.. Stokes employ
for three years, and in receipt Of COM
Portable salary, was addicted TO horse rac-
ing, and had an unusual faculty Of picking
out the wrong horse. Thus his l0sings
were much greater than his salary seemed
to warrant, and the detectives watched him
closely. Just about this time . guest
placed $4,000 in the safe. Next morning
he discovered that it was short $50. He
complained to Mr.. Stokes. and the money
was made good. The most diligent inquiry
among the clerks failed to reveal where the
money had gone.
Whalen, it seems, had made practice Of
pocketing part Of the money handed to
him, and making no entries of the sums

5000 would cover the entire defalcation,
and he was in some doubt as to whether or
not he would prosecute the prisoner.

letter was read from Miss Kate Foote, who
Mission Indians of California. Miss Foote
said the Indians are still the victims of the
greed Of their white neighbors.
The executive committee, reporting the

make such liberal and increasing appropri-
ations as may be necessary to perfect this
plan and carry it into full operation; calls for
further extension OF education in all the
industrial arts as an essential preparation
for self support; protests against the re-
moval of capable officials for party
reasons; recommends improvements
in the provisions for regular and
legal administration of justice,
both toward and among Indians; urges
upon the churches larger gifts and greater
zeal in their distinctive Christian work
among the Indians. and re-affirms as the
fundamental principle which should con-

lence or by the government. should b
done in anticipation Of and in preparation
for the time when the Indian race OF this

DUBLIN, Oct 10.-Much excitement pre-
vailed in Tipperary when it became known
that O'Bricn and Dillon had abandoned
their defense and left the place. The ru-
NOR that they had left the country re-
ceiyed confirmation, however, in . report
that they sailed from Queenstown yestsr-
DAY for the United States. The informa-
tion thus received shows that they did not
leave BY the ordinary channels Of passage.
Their bail will be escheated and paid by
the National League.
At the request sof the counsel for the
crown, the courts certificate Of non-appear-
ance was attached to tho bail bonds of Dill

taken to enable the crown to consider
what steps should be taken. Warrants
have been issued for the arrest of the
missing Nationalist.

OF the fngitives. Nothing is known at
Queenstown or Moville Of their where

A correspondent Of O'Brien's paper. the
FScezdn's Journal, sailed from Queenstown
yesterday on the City Of Berlin, and it Is
thought that Dillon and O'Brien may be-
aboard the same vessel.
Detectives boarded all the outgoing
steamers and searched in vain for the men,
and are now convinced that the Irish lead
ers are already on the way to America.
II is possible that they sailed on yacht

cape of Dillon and O. Brien to the marvellous
