OF the plan fer the concentration of troops

posts that the formal order 70 give it effect
was withheld until congress had adjourned
and but few senators and representatives
remained In Washington. BY the terms of
the order. nine posts are abandoned en-

abandoned are in the west: namely,
Fort Marcy, n. NJ; Fort Bowie, Ariz !;
Fort Mckinney, Wyo.; Fort Sully, s. ID /;
TT. Supply, Oklahoma; Ft. Mackinac,
Mich. and Newport, Barracks. Ky. These
posts were too much in the thinly settled
western states, causing the expenditure
with regularity Of large sums of money by
the garrisons and encouraging business
generally. 1t was not supposed that they
could be abandoned without some oppo-
sition, and already flood of protests la We

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 19.-News received
here by the way of Sa-sak-wa, We-wa-ka
and Tecumseh, from Stonewall in the
Chickasaw nation, brings information to
the effect that King Blue. the leader of the
negro-Indians, is in open rebellion.
The insurrectionists have gone out on a
marauding tour and are terrorlzlng the
Indian citizens and especially the squaw
men. Last Saturday the band, headed by
King Blue, swept down on the farm OF
George Ii. Truax, postmaster at Stonewal.
The negroes came down On the
farm at midday. Truax, a white
man and his squaw, were led from
the house and bound with rope and held
prisoners. King Blue and his band then
proceeded 10 destroy everything IN the
house they could not eat and drink, and
after atisfying themselves rode of, howl
ing and screeching. Neighbors found
TruaX and his wife and released them.
Other Indian citizens have been similarly
treated aud the eastern part of the Chick
said that the Cbickasaw government is
thinking of taking steps to put them out
as pretenders. This could be done under
either the Chickasaw or the United States
laws, as the negroes have no legal right TO
lands in the Chickasaw nation aud are not
even adopted citizens. King Blue, while
AN old man, Is very strong physically and
IA natural leader of surprising tact. He
was chosen king of the negro-lndfans
shortly after the war and he exercises al
absolute tyranny over his followers.
