T., dated the 20:h Sftant, to the effect that great excitement E *la at that place over an outbreak by nne Indians. The Indiana known as utheru Cheyennes are making prep intions to go on tho war path. A few fisys since troops were sent to quiet a lo af disturbance among these same Indians, the War Department officials ora not in formed as to tha cause ot the th rent died out- break. If these Indians go on the war p itb there wilt be great difficulty in quieting them. The Cheyennes are reported to be u troublesome to deal with as are the Apaches. The country, however, in which Ihe former live would be more a Ivan- tigeous to soldiers pursuing then) than is ths rough, rocky country in which the lat ter are being followed. Sews was received at the War Depart- sect this afternoon to the affect that the difficulty with the Obey •me Indians is becoming se rious.

Portland, Me., June 22—'The Grand Army men began to arrive to-day with a rush. The city has a festive appearance far as crowded streets are concerned, bat the decorations, while being in most cases tastefally and appropriately ar ranged, are not numerous. The decorated boildiogs along the proposed line of march Tuesday’s great parade are* few aud further between than might have been thought would be the case during to important a season of feitlvity. The grand double arch in Congress Square, which bears a« appropriate mo to, is really the most artistic exhibition of dec orative art in the city. There are two other arches, one at me encampment and the other over (.'ormn-ss a'rietm Markvi. Square. The public buildings are not decorated, which causes considerable ad verse comment. There has been considerable agitation during the past few days over the liquor law. Prominent Prohibitionists have been very active in seizing liqnor in order that intoxicants might not be obtainable. A large quantity of liquor §hipp*d here from Boston, principally by boat, has beeu seized, and committees of temperajee peo ple are exercidng great vigilance to keen It from being smuggled in. A circular ad * dress which was issued to Grand Army members a day or two ago by representa tives of the Law and Order League and the Women's Cbriatian Temperance Union have canted some grumbling among the visitors. A similar circular from the same source gave notice of an intention to ieiz* any liqnors consigned to mem bers of the Grand Army of the Re public. A proposition made by the same committee that all consignments to mein bers of the Grand Army of the Republic be seized aud taken to police headqaartera, and If. after inspection by Commander-In- Chief Kountz, they be found to contain any liquor, that they shall not be forwarded to the consignor*, met with instant opposi tion, aud the fast of such proposition hav ing been made has canaeJ some thing of a rebellions spirit to rise, and the visitors openly declare their intention to resist anv such arbitrary action about 1 it be attempted. It is not denied that there are quantities of Uqnor now en route, consigned to member* ol the Grand Army, who are either now h»re or who are to arrive, and prominent officers of the organization declare they Intend to take and keep possession of these consignments. The constant agitation ot this subject recently by tne temperance leaders has caused it to take the place of paramount interest on al. sides. Much Is heard on all sides in regard to the liqnor question. To-night the Asso- cirted Press is in receipt of fhe following telegram, which seems to have been in- sulred by the circulars Issued by the tern- peranceleadem. "Newport, Vr., Jane 22—7o the Amo- dated Preui Two thousand comrades of the Grand Array ol the Republic have read dispatches regarding the appointment of special police to care for the lives and property of tho people of Portland We call yonr attention to the fact that in times past we were ibe police of the nation, and twenty years have not di minished our respect for law and order. We come unarmed and on a peaceful mis ston as yonr guests, and respeotfully ask e rmission to enter your city unmolested specif police or special lnvesii<ating ‘committees [Signed] “Departments of Ohio, Tennes- e, Georgia, Illinois, Wlscontln, Kansae, Iowa. Colorado, Minnesota, Oregon, Da kota, Missouri, Nebraska and Michigan.” The peculiar wording of ths circular sent ont by the advocates oftemperance eeeu to have bad the efiect of creating no small degree of resentment ou the part of visitors from other States, and many of them say that to lssne snob circulars to a body of m«n to old in ysart. In terries and in dtttinurtihid honors as that of the Grand Army of the Republic is sctrcely less than an insult. That inch feelings would be created was foreseen by many leading citizens of Portland not long after the prep arations for the encampment began, and to tbs disconragenie it which moat ol them felt, dne to tne remarkable activity of the Prohibitionist leaders, may be attributed mnebot the apathy that has prevailed among the citizens Indicated by the slow ness ol subscriptions as well as by ths comparative meagreuess of the decora- tions. He EiDreaeea n Oetetm<r\nti With the Town, Takinc all Insubordination Ack- edfced--Hls Views, El GEORGIA BONDI. Araumsnt of Congressman Hammond Against Clsws's Attorneys. Alihnt, N. Y„ June 23 -Hon. N. J] Hammond, member of Congress and ex Attorney Geoeral ot Georgia, made an elaborate argument before Deputy Attor ney-General Post yesterday afternoon in relation to the bonds of Georgia. He claimed that none of the bonds of the But* had been repudiated except about $15 000. which had been paid once, which Henry Clswe & Co. held as collateral, wltbl the understanding that they were not to be paid. The bonds were traced to J. M, Guiteau. a lawyer in the employ of Clrws, who declined to give the blstoiy ol their possession, claiming that it was a profes sional secret. Mr. Hammond’s argument was to the effect that Georgia was solvent, and that the new bonds ought to be al lowed for investments by savings banks of this State. It is ItMNifnt here that the Attorney-General will decide otherwise. Big Bear's Prisoners Released. PFort Pitt, N. W. T., June 23. -All the prisoners from Big Bear'a camp were brought in by Bedson yesterday. Mr. McLean says that while they auilered many hardships, it might have been much worse. While the Indians had plenty of one they were comparatively com- !e, bat after provisions ran low they suffered from hunger. The Wood Creea split of! from Big Bear and forced him lo give up Ihe prisoners, who were al lowed to start in for Fort Pitt three day si ago alone. The Wood Cress have gone Bostok. June 21.—The j mrnaU of Gen Gordon at Khartonm will mnk* a crown volame of over 500 pages, and will be pub lished by Houghton, Mifllin Sc Co., of this city, Tuesday, June 30. The book will cintain aa electrotyped portrait of Gor don, two maps and thirty illustrations, reproduced in foe si die from sketches from Gen. Gordon himself. Gen. Gordon's diaries are in s : x parts. The firs*, part is from the 10th of September to the S31 of riepte • b *r, and contain* "H pages. The second part ia from the 23i to the 30th of Seo'ember. and contains 41 pates. The third is from ihe 1st to the 12 h of October, RudcontalD8 85 pages The fourth is from the 12th to the 20th of October, and ern- 32 page*. The fifth is from the 20th of Oc tuber to 5th o' November, and contains 93 pages. The kixth is from the 5‘.b of No vember to 14th of December, and contains U 4 pages. Tue first.tbird.second and fourth diaries are addressed to Lieutenant-Colonel Stewart, f.\ M.U.,chief of stiff, the fifth Htid sixth are adiirej-ned to th*> chief of staff of the expeditionary force for the relief of the garrison. The lir-ff ami eecon 1 diaries were sent on the 30th of 8ertember by s’eamer to Berber, vi&Sb-ndy. The third was sent by the steamer! ewkfia on the 12th of October to Metemna, and the sixth left in the steamer Borden on the ;5th of December. Each diary has the *nme remark, sometimes repeated three times, on the outside of the mrnnl to the eff-.ct that it should he ironed down prior to publication. Tne oarnah or diaries were banded over to tiir Charles Wilson on the 22i of January, at Metemna. by the official commanding hen. (i jrdun's Mcamers. A London correspondent of the Evening Star, reviewing Gordon's diaries, describes the book as an exiraordina-y one. First comes the introduction bv Editor Egmont Hake. He contends tbatit is unfair and il logical to say that Gordon exceeded the instructions of her Majesty's government, because he was appointed by tue Egvptian government and sanctioned* by the British government. The latter could have no control, unless it open)}' de clared for the annexation ot Egypt and the Soudan. The Khedive delegated his own power t*► Gordon. Therefore, sm- Mr Hake, to exceed h s instructions was an impossibility; and, secondly, Gordon was constantly thwarted and never sup ported. Mr. Hake gi • thirteen specific instances of refnval ot Uonion’s most press ing requests. At last Gordon tt-.e^rnphed that be would do bis beat, bat felt con vinced he wou'd be caught at Khartoum. Next comes a description ol Gor don's position at Khartonm, the mission of Sir Ghtrles Wilson and a description of hi* journal, all by bis brother. Sir Henry W. Gordon. The latter expresses the beht-f that no blame attaches to Wilson. The government banded them to Sir Henryk expressing a wish for their compaete publica tion. Only six or seven pa* es are omitted. On the outtlde wrapper, rwtiich is glass cloth, is written, **Nof feerrts, ar far as I am concerned. O. G. Gordon.' The diaries are a strange medley, and were written evidently in per feet sincerity, but varying in style, manner and subject from page to page. One p<ge will be an abstruse statistical discus-ion of (be social and political aspects of the Egyptian prob lem., Then foil j*s, perhaps, pages reading Use a biblical cmimeu’nry. with many scriptural quotations and cross references. Civ ’ !• rtion'H peculiar views, which the editor is*compelled to make a great effjrt to explain in foot notes. Then suddenly comes a bit of reminhcenc of life in Eng'.nnd or elsewhere, or a story about some Arab chief. Then he turns as!Je t) discuss his own feelings, habits and ends, perhaps, with a funny sketch, followed by a declaration that he Is resign ed to God's whl. Machil underscored The following extracts give an idea of the vary ing character of the diary and Gordon^ opmto s: “For my part, I am always frightened and very much so, I fear the future of all engagements. It is not the fear of death —that Is past, thank God—bat fear of de feat and its constnaences to ut. The near approach of the Mahdl has not troubled me. I have always felt we should meet face to fsce ere the matter is ended. (Gordon's head was taken before the Mabdi according to to the latest accounts) I toss up in my mind whether II ibe place Is taken lo blow up the palace and all in it or betaken with hatn maintain tha faith an/f 41 INDIAN TROUBLES IN COLORADO. Six Indians Killed br Cowboys--A De mand for Revenae, Denver Cou, Jane 20.—A eiwc'.il to the Tribane- Republican from Durango tafi: A messenger from Dolores Valley arrived yesterday afternoon. He eaye tbe Indians have killed In that neighborhood a man named Genthir and eerionaly wounded his wife and burned hie home, bams, hay •tacks, etc. The messenger confirms the repo-t that cowboys have killed ilx of the seme family of Indiana. One young back who belonged to the same family waa wounded, but escaped and came to the agency at Ignacio and told his story, and immediately 250 warriors came to the agency and demanded revenge. The egent pacified them by agreeing to go with twenty-five of their number to Fort Lewis, there to get an eicort of eoldieri, and then to proceed to the scene of the trouble, Investigate the whole afialr and bring back the ti.-M'l it till°s. Arc-iriliitgly 'ite ngrnt and Indians passed tlirourli here yester day morning en route to Fort Lewis. Another messenger arrived here last night, bringing the report that a party of Indians met Joe Dougherty, brother of Captain Dougherty, of the Twenty-Second Cavalry, now stationed at Fort Lewis, on bia way home, near Mitchell Springs, and killed him, and carried his wife into cap tivity. Caplain Ferrine, who was tn camp in MentezuraaYalley with three companies •ent Captain Dougherty with bis com mand to the scene of the tragedy. It is stated that the commander of Fort Lewie, hearing of the act of Capt. I’errine, immediately sent « company of cavalry to intercept Capt. Dongherty, fear ing that be might lose his judgment and seek revenge for the il-ath of his brother and the captivity of hit wife, who Isa daughter of Mr. Mitrlieil, of Mitchell Springs, with whom Dougherty's children were staying daring the absence of their purenle. There are many conflicting e'.oriei aa to who commenced the trouble. The cow boys maintain that it was the Indians of another band. The Indians and their agent accuse tbe cowboys of carrying ont their threats to kill all fnditns they find off the Esjervdtlon. Troops are arriving, and theindiani will probably ecatter and retnm to the reservation. IHE NEWS FROM EUROPE. The Radicals Expected to Worrr tha New Government a.

London, Jane 23.—The crisis in political affairs la believed to have ben passed, and most probably to-day all differences be tween the Conservatives and Liberals will be arranged and the Conservatives will form a new cabinet. It is said some tech nical pointa only yet rt wain to be eetUed principle. It is claimed that Gladstone has not departed from tbe lines originally adopted by him. He has made falter con cessions to the Conservatives than were hoped for. He reserves, however, fall lib erty of action in regard to any new meas ures ot moment that may be introduced Into Parliament, and at the same time □nderlakes to assist the new govern ment in completing the ordinary business ol the session. It is reported here that Baron von Staal, tbs Russian ambassador, baa been in structed by his government to maintain an attitude of reserve towards the goverament of the Marquis of Salisbury. Baron von Slaal ia also instructed, according to the same report, to inaiat that Zutflcar Pass ought to belong to Russia, in order to check any advance I lie A'g'iana may propose to make iu Russian territory. Tbe Marquis of Salisbury will make announcement in the House of I-ords to night t-iat, Mr. Gladstone having given sufficient aDd entirely satisfactory assur ances ot aid in the conduct of the govern ment, he (Salisbury) will take office and form a cabinet. IN rABLUSIENT. Earl Granville announced in the Home oi Lords this evening, and Mr. Gladstone made a similar announcement in the House ol Commons, that the Marquis o( Salis bury had accepted office, and that be had gone to Windsor Castle to inform the (fueen.

The waste of money and expense of file by the present expedition isulter.ydue to the inJicis on of onr government. I hate onr diplomats. I think, with a few exceptions, they are arrant humbugs." Here follows a funny sketch of t«o diplo mas's, entitled, "K. N. and B. O.,” discuss ing th* above statement. “Pat yoarseK in my position. If you ssy make a rapid re treat and leave Senear to its fate, I will aay no. I would sooner die first If yon, say they, are no longer gorernor-generil, I then am all right.
