Sheridan troop of Tyrone, attached to

out. A captain of Gen. Gobin's staff
IS authority for the statement that an

breaks OF the past few days and the
lnulcatlon they hold of the underIy-

mander admitted that the action of

much pecpleXity. He does not care to
use lorce against them and has in
structed the soldiers in case of neces-
SHY to use only the flats of their
sabers upon the Amazons. The storv
reached the general that many men
were in the attacking party disguised
as women. The violent scene at A.
oenreid arose from another attempt to
start the Monarch and Star washeries

work at the former, when the wild
Dand OF women swooped down upon
