On of the oilicsrs at army headqusr-
ters Ut Chicago has received = letter
from gentleman connected with Buf-
falo Bill in his trip through Europe with
about one hundred of the hostiles cap
tured BY Gen. Miles In the recent Indian
waf. The writer says that the redskins
are all anxious to make money and some
OF them send their entire earnings home,
and they declare they will settle down
and build homes when they return.
Kicking Bear and Short Bull, two of the
worst hostiles, are particularly cconomi-
cal. The great armies of Europe are to
them awe-inspiring, and they claim that
Gen. Miles sent such large numbers Of
soldiers against them that they became
frightened and surrendered and will
never again fight because of the great
number Of soldiers. The Indians will
remain In Europe two years, and Buffalo
Bin thinks by that time they will be 80
accustomed to civilization that they will
never again go to war.
LETTERS and papers received by the
last mail from South America contain
interesting facts concerning the troubles
in Chill. There seems to be probable
ity Of an immediate ending of the war.
In Valparaiso business Is at standstill.
Many leading families are leaving SAINT

ceda's army is said to consist at present

A DISPATCH from Gibraltar says:
Last night the British steamer Bucca-
neer collided near Europa Point with
the Italian steamer Stura, on board Of
which was large number Of Italian
emigrants for the United States. A
scene OF wild confusion followed, and It
was with difficulty that some of the
emigrants were restrained from throw
ing themselves into the water. Investi-
CATION showed that the bows Of the
Stura were stove, and the side of
the Buccaneer badly damaged. Nobody
on either steamer was seriously hurt.
FURTHER particulars from Woo Hoo,
the treaty port in the province Of Ngan
Hoei, China, show that the Chinese who
took part In the burning ot the Catholic
mission and other European buildings
are liable to bring down upon them the
the wrath OF the British government.
The mob also burned and looted the GUS
tom house and British consulate. The
wife Of the British consulate, disguised
as . Chinese woman, managed with diff
Guilty to escape from the consulate and
made her way to Yangtee Kiang, where,
with other Europeans, she took refuge
in the hulks moored in the streem. The
British consul was wounded.
NJ. RuDINI in the chamber OF deputies
discussing the New Orleans affair, said
It was simply legal question. Eu-
ropean sympathy was with Italy, and he
hoped for friendly solution of the
questions involved. Signor Cavelletto
expressed regret at the rupture In the
relations between the United States and
Italy. He thought that little should be
said about the affair, as it was very
delicate matter. Premier Rudini said
exaggerated Importance ought not to be
given to the New Orleans affair, nor .
question essentially judicial be converted
into one Of national dignity.
THERE is no news of the Etata or
Charleston 1T the navy department at

ment that there has been no suggestion

tween Italy and the United States grow
ing out of the New Orleans tragedy, as
reported in the special dispatch from
Rome.
The London Times believes the Rus
sian government will withdraw 3,o00,-
600 from London within the next month
or two, and that It Is doubtful whether
the Bank Of England will be able to
draw that amount Of America. .'Be-
sides which," adds the Times, ''there Is
strong probability Of . partial failure Of
European crops, which would cause .
drain Of gold to America In the autumn. :"
