NOTES FBOM A DURNOVABIAN IN  ANZRICA.  THE " YANKEE " VIEW OF THE AFGHAN DIFFICULTY.THE USING OF THE APACHES INDIANS, AND THEIR TERRIBLE OUTRAGES.-AMERICANS FAVOURING THE LIBERALS AT THE ELECTION. To the Editor.  Americans are inclined to be indifferent as to the announced settlement of Afghan affairs, although, • while there was any chance of war between England and Russia, in which the shrewd Yankee saw an opportunity of adding a few "almighty dollars" to his already goodly pile there was no topic of such absorbinginterest. Tliere is also an uneasy feeling abroad that some of the !speculators who dealt heavily in wheat, when the crisis was at its height, have burnt their fingers considerably, and have a white elephant on their hands‘ in the shape of immense quantities of grain, of which they will be unable to diaPasa, and eoneequently cause financial embarrassment. " Uncle Sam" writes that by peace between the rivet European power she loses the opportunity of being able to find his English cousins, and pocket the pr-ceeds. The American. primates a whole stspixet Mr. Gladstone and the loheral Ministry. Captain Boyto tz02.0 with his silly and inhospitable joke with a . upon H.M.S. Garnet whilst in this Wbpur, which the readers of the Telegram heve doehtlessly hearcVdrove away the Garnet„ and 4eo H.M.S. Canada which was here, they being recalled by the Admiral, to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to attend a court-martial there arising ant of the affair. No British war-ship had born in Neet?rieott harbour since 1871 consequently these two trim and taut little ships, the fuyab, of neatness and order attracted considerable attenPion, The Russian vessel is still here. Atnigieseap have beeit very profuse in their cugget4tionp to. Canada ie her recent troubles with the Indians and, Half-breeds, and has very severely criticised some of her actions. The Canadians, having pretty nigh, quelled their outbreak, are now watching with. interest the awing of the ApachtS Indians in thes United Rtgee territory of New Mexico. Warriors the "WA, liafajoe, and Pints nations are leining the TOMIWOrs. The accounts received of the murdering outraging of the settlers are apkeing. More than 60 persons have been killed, bodies of Colonel Phillips and his whole family were brought in from their reecho to Silver City on Saturday. A daughter bed been hung alive by a meat hook stuck in the back of her head , and Mrs. Phillipshad had her eyesgouged out and her breasts cut off, and was otherwise brutally mangled. Seventeen companies of troops, with many scouts and convoys, are on the trail of the bloodthirsty Indians, but up to the time of writing not a single Indian has been captured. Mounted men are being sent to the outlying ranches and settlements in the territory to warn the people to move into the cities. The approaching general election in England is being watched with considerable interest by all classes on this side, and there is an almost unanimous opinion that the return of a Tory Government to power would be utterly ruinous to the interests of the mother countg. Mr. Gladstone and the Liberal party have the fufl sympathy of the Americans. DURNOVABIAN, New York, U.S.A., June 2nd, 1885.
