Union says: The city was greatly excited
this afternoon by hearing reports OF can

revenue cutter McLane was firing at the
tug George w. Childs, which left this
morning. Soon after leaving the Col
lector Of Customs, upon information of
the Spanish Consul, ordered the McLane
to overtake the Childs and bring her
back to port
1t is rumored that deckhand by the
name of William Lynch, who shipped at
Jamaica, had furnished the Consul with
information to the effect that she was
bound on filibustering expedition.
Lieutenant Hay of the McLane says
that signals were set for the Childs to
heave to, but no attention was paid to
ing her, two solid shots and one she'll
was boarded by crew from the cutter,
with Lieutenant Hay in command, and
brought into port about OF clock.
Captain Swain OF the Childs is indig
nant at being fired upon. and says that he
knows no reason why such action should
be taken. He says that he was properly
entered for his trip at Jamaica, and while
some slight Irregularities did exist i'll his

day about noon that he cleared his tug
for New York, having first surrendered
his register and taken out enrolment
and cOastiDg licenses, and that shortly
before leaving the assistant engineer re-
ported to him that ho saw party offer
Lynch some money, and he was informed
by Lynch that it was $500 to corroborate
what the fireman had reported, and that
his answer was that he knew nothing
and could say nothing. The Captain sent
out the person who was talking to Lynch.
He returned saying that Lynch was then
talking 10 the Spanish Consul.

Number of students.
CHICAGO, July 2l.-A special from Dem
Yer, Colorado, says: 1t is feared that
party OF Princeton students have fallen
into the hands of the Bannack Indians.
Nearly two weeks ago the students form
ing the geological expedition went
through Union Pass, and since kilograms
have been received here for them without
atOrdlng any means OF delivery. They
were on their way TO National Park, and
were due on their return trip about the
end OF July. They are In dangerous
country, and if they are alive. the tact re-
mains that the Government has recently
been stirred to great activity, as orders
were received yesterday at Fort Wash
axle for the sending Of troops. There are
only forty-three men at the post, and the
expedition cannot be very formidable,
but it is the best that the army can do
Reports from JaCksOn's Hole are that
there are tully 300 Indians assembled
there, and OF the number there are fifty

BELIEVED TO BE SAFE.
CHEYENNE (Wyo.), July 2l.-Anxious
inquiries were received here this evening
from Eastern friends OF the nineteenth
annual geological survey from Princeton
College. now making trip ia Eastern

the messages of inquiry were sent, is sure
that no harm has Deiallen the students

Bannack Indians took place on July 4th
in the Jackson Hole region. near the
Western Wyoming line, directly south
of the y Yellowstone Park. On July 9th
the Princeton students were in Lander,
over 100 miles from the trouble, and there
they remained for several days. The
country over which they were TO travel
is comparatively we'll settled, and within
easy reach of Fort Washington post,
where there are two companies of
United States cavalry and Indian police.
