The firemen finally turned their attention to the place where the builaings joined one erected jour years ago, and HERE STOPPED THE FIRE. ‘The latter building contained the greater por- tion of the machinery, which was all removed and waved from damage by water. The heat was so intense that the Lake Shore and Michigan South- ern freignt and passenger depots were in immi- ment danger. Trains were delayed for some four hours.

The North China News says whatever may be the issue of the present negotiations upon the Formosan question the officials in charge of the Shanghae Arsenal are evideutly more than ordinarily anxious about their armaments and the provabilities of war. Unusual activity prevails in the ordnance department at Kaou-Chang.

The pretty little theatre in Fourteenth strect, whioh has become the home of opéra bouge in this | city, was last vight crowded by a brilliant audi- | ence to witness the production of Leon Vasseur’s “Timbale d’Argent.”” The house looked brighter and more comiortable than ever, the changes in the decorations having been ‘with a view to increase the air of ligatness of the theatre, The piece selected for the opening obtained great suc- | cess in Paris, Its sparkling dialogue and the ex- | cellent quality of the music deserve all the success | which the piece bas obtaimed. ‘The story on which the piece is constructed is of course absurd, and perhaps over sen- | sitive people would, be slightly shocked by some of the allusions; but delicate souls of this Kind ought to avoid opéra douse on principle, for its aim is to make people laugh at grotesque { absurdities, And the person who can sit through the “Timbale d'Argent’’ without tndulging in a hearty laugh must, indeed, be strangely consti- tuted. The situations are very amusing, aud are well connected with an intelligent plot. Two villages are rivals. for musical honors, and the imbabitants of one of them manage | 10 preserve their voices, while tue others can- | not sing a true note, The judge of Feldkircle— Raab—is terribly anguisted by the want of vocal | power among his neighbors, He sends for his niece who dwells in the rival vil! nd offers her hand and lortune to whoever will aid her to win the “Timoal d-argent” at the coming compe- tition.

Such is the geneial scheme of the play, which is | admirably written. Many very bright and clever | gonga are scattered through it, and the choruses | are strong and well balanced. There 1s, per- haps, no song that will become as popular as “La Fille de Mme. Angot,” but the | songs, “Le: Timbalé ‘au Sommet da Mat,” “Pen- dant que sur la happe Blanche’’ and ‘Allons, | Margow” are likely to become popular favorites. The artistes introduced to the American public:: last bight made a very lavorabie impression and wili help to place opéra bouge on a footing that it has not bitherto occupied in this city. | Mile.

Those admirers of Byron who visited Nibio’s last evening in expectation of seeing a creditable dramatization of his poem “The Bride of Aby- dos” placed upon the boards, were certainly dis- appointed. For a first night the attendance was nov large, and this may have exercised @ depressing influence on the actors, who, under other circumstances, might have done better. ‘Taken as a whole the drama as presented last night was not equal to the previous efforta of the management.

When | the curtatn rose the house was crammed trom pit | to dome, and previous to tifat large numbers were | turned away. ‘The performance opened with “fhe Coal Heaver's Revenge,” a most amusing | sketch, im which Messrs. Luke Schoolcrait, G. L. Stout and other members of the company participated. An admirable satire on justice as administered in too many of our courts followed, which was highly enjoyed by the audience. The | points of the play were delicately put and worked out with a naturalness more than unusual in stage stories.

The oldest public school teacher in this city, Mr. Leonard Hazeltine, principal of Grammar Nchoot No. 13, died at bis residence in East sixty-firet street on Sunday last, in the seventy-first year ot his age. He was boro on October 14, in the year 1808, in Rockingham, Vt., and devoted forty years of his life to tne noble cause of education. Hig father, Jonas Hazeltine, waa one of the “min- | ute men” at Lexington, and afterward a captain in the revolutionary war. Leonard was brought up at a country farm cuttage and by his persever- ance and the slight advantages which a neigh- boring common school aiforded him he acquired | gufiicient knowledge to enable him to teach ‘aq district school in Vermont uring | several successive winters.

Commencing with a condensed version of the famous Irish drama, ‘Peep o’ Day,” the represen- tation of which, by the way, afforded consider- || able enjoyment, the entertainment subsequently embraced several features which at ouce induced the auditors to think that there was still plenty of fun in New York, For instance, aiter a very amusing stump speecn by Mr. Talbot, there fol- lowed some “Scenes in an Hospital,” which, if correctly depicted, would incline the unfor- tunates to procecd to Potter's Fiela without deiay. The troth is that Mr. B. Grey, as @ darky nurse, performed his task tu perfecyyn, and the audience revelled in the comical absurdities 80 thoroughly presented trom beginning toend.

Spotted Tail Refuses to Remove Further North. Trouble Brewing with the Brule Sioux. WILL THEY FIGHT OR TRAVEL? OmAuA, August 21, 1674, The present unsettled condition of affairs at Spotted Tail’s agency causes some feeling of anxi- ety in the minds of those best informed concerning our Indian matters, In 1868 Spotted Tail and bis people were, by order of General Sherman, gath- ered trom between the Unton Pacific and Smoky Hiil routes and rendezvoused at North Platte pre- paratory to being sent north of the Union Pacific road. General Sherman was present, and told Spotted Tail that while he was personally sorry to remove or disturb him and his people, yet such a step had become absolutely necessary, as he was between two great lines of ratiroad and too close “to both to get game or keep his young men from disturbing travel. Sposted Tail remonstrated, but the General was firm, and said all Sioux must leave tae Republican River. Spotty said he woald go, but the young men’ would, in all probability, remain to fight, “Tell him,” said General Sherman to the inter- preter, “we wish for peace, but that we are also prepared for war, and if they want to fight I shall cover the prairie with men until there areas many soldiers as blades of grass or leaves on the trees.” This closed the argument, and General Bradley gave Spotted Tall and all other bands along the Republican seventeen days in which to come in and gonorth, About 1,500 Indians came in with Spotted Tail and encamped near North Platte, while the rest remained out to engage in the cam- paign of 1868, in which the Indians were so badly used up by General Carr. THE FORMER REMOVAL. ” Spotted Tail and his people were sent up the” Missouri and settled near Randall, but they were dissatisfied and removed to White River, 121 miles from Fort Laramie. It is said they have been dis- satisfied ever since leaving the Republican, and want toreturn there, Two or three eiforta have been made to induce them to go further north and | settle on a reservation, but Kae Dane. steadily re- | fused, ‘Their present agency is only torty miles | from Red Cloud’s, and it 18 not the policy of the government to have two large bodies Of semi- hostile Indiana 80 ciose togetier. SPOTTED TAIL WILL NOT MOVE. The Interior bepartment notified Spotted Tail last spring through the indian Odice that be would have to remove iurther north, and he replied at once he would not go unless forced to doso. The site of the present agency 1s on a bald plain or up- land, and it is very dificult to obtain a sufficient supply of wood or grass, Spotted Tail selected a place some nine miles nearer Red Uloud, and wanted the buildings removed there. The milli- tary selected a place some thirty miles north of the agency on White River, and wanted Spotty to go there, but he would not. Then we Indian partment selected # place still further north, and hear the Missouri, where the agency could be gar- risoned and supplied from Fort Randall; bat Spotty swore by all the gods at once that he would not budge a step. So the matter stands, WARLIKE BISHO! Bishop Hare, who went up some time ago tolook after Indian affairs in the nelgnpornood of Lara- mie, stopped at Omaha and to! eral Ord if he of companies of cavalry and to go with him would detail a couple one or two companies of infantr; he (the Bishop) would persuace Spotty to remove 2 Wolf, when he went to Tex: com, and § Sot Te og remaing, Killed seven white .

M, Haworth writes to the Com— missioner, ander date of August 17, irom the Kiowa and Comanche Agency, Indian Territory, representing that all is quiet, with no raids since his last report, and that a growing inclination is observable on the part of the Kiowas and Comanches not on the reservation to come in and make peace, which he attriouted to the move- ments of the troops and the scarcity of water. io says the long continued drought, with the prevall- ing hot winds, has made vegetation as dry a8 the frosts of the tall would.

WASHINGTON, August 24, [874 Spain Demands Indemnity of the United States for the Acts of Filibusters—Re- fusal ef Our Government and Pressure of Our Claims. ¥ Te has been ascertained from a réltable source that Spain, instead of carrying into effect the un- derstanding of the Fish-Polo protocol, namely, to investigate the conduct of those of its authorities who have infringed on the Spanish laws or treaty obligations, and to punish those who may have offended, has made a demand of indemnity in the affair of the Virginius and for other alleged wrongs suff:red by Spain, owing to the filibustering ex- peditions fitted out in this country, and landing or attempting to land men ana munitions of war on the Spanisn-American coast. To this dethand our government has replied in firm but courteous terms, asserting the untenabieness of the position of the Spanish government, and re- minding it of the remissness or the inexcusable delay in making reparation for the wrongs suf fered by Amerian citizens in person and property. The latest information from Minister Cushing 1s that he 1s still presaing our demands on Spain, I¢ seems ceriain the clause in the protocol providing that reciprocal reciamations shall be the subject of consideration between the two governments will not end satisiactorily, in which case it will be- come the subject cfarbitration, as per agreement, providing the constitutional assent of the Senate of the United States shall be yiven to it, Remission of Shiy-ving Fees.

DEATH OF OOLONEL WILLIAM 0, ALEX- ANDER, ie Leading insurance and sociai circles were shocked yesterday to learn the sudden death of Colonel William ©. Alexander, the estimabie Prest- dent of the Equitable Life Insurance Company of this city. Mr. Alexander came to New York alter attainiig a high rank at.the New Jersey Bar, andi devoted ois talents and business tact to forward- ing the interests of tne insurance co: whose chief officer ke became.

Just how he expected to ; argue the question with the Indians was surmised when he spoke of taking plenty of ammunition along and sume Gatling guns. General Ord couid not let the Bishop nave the troops, ag he did not have them to spare, and it is greatly to be re- gretted that he did not, as it might have been interesting to have observed what the Bishop wouia have done with them. Spotted Tail seems quite positive at the present writing that he wiil not go to the new agency provided for him 4 the government and the Inverior Department. | The Indian Onice and the military are unanimous | i the decision that he must go. Here is room for | @ fight, bat it will not come, as Spotted Tall, alter | blustering allhe can, wili take himself and hus | people out of harm’s way just in time to escape the Loner of the biue jackets. Spotted Tail nas id up as A MODEL INDIAN and the friend of the [ aren and the white man, but the truth is he is a wily, treacherous, Yatohing for an opportunity to “muss,” He is not half the man Red Cloud is, and his word is never to be trusted when he talks for either war or peace. He violates bis ments without th zhtest | hesitarion, and will sign a treaty to-day deny to-morrow that he was aware of its pro- visions, Hig people are robbers and he is a robber chief In this matter of his removal to a new res- ervation it is to be hoped the government will act Wita great firmness. There is one oficerin the upper country whom Spotted Tail is said to be mortally airata of, and that ts Colonel Kugene Baker, who slew the Plegans & tew years ago. it was to Baker General Sheridan said, when at pomiee [Repair ras Pict justly by these Indians; ut ey cut u @ yOu & good opportu’ let into them.” fe was of Baker Spotied an salt, tot man loves a fight, and we must not provoke im. THE WAY TO KERP PEAOR. Colonel Saker is now at Fort Laramie with sev- eral companies of cavalry. Let him by all means be sent to interview Spotty and ask him which he prefers, to travel or fight, and Spotty will say, see- Ing who it is that makes the request and unger all the circumstances, that ne thinks he would preier to travel, I¢is@ healthy and encouraging sign of the iuture success of our indian affairs to see the agenis, peace policy men‘and the military The peace men are beginning to see that the savages respect novning so much as bullets irom the guns oi well trained soldiers, and that the surest and easiest way to keep peace isto be ready and willing for war. The Reported Killing of “Stabber,” Red Cloud’s Chief, Denied—Prospect of Pei Oma, Neb., August 24, 1874. Lieutenant Carpenter has arrived from the Whetstone Agency, and says that the reported killing of Stabber, one of Red Clond’s chiefs, by Custer’s men is untrue, Stabber is living and well, and is coming in with his band. ‘The probability of war this year with tne North- ern Sioux seems every day to be growing less. Their Council Peaceful. LawRenceg, Kansas, August 24, 1874.

An investigation at Fort Totten fixes the recent massacre o/ certain Obippewas and half-breeds of St. Joe, Dakota Territory, upon certain members of Bull Ghost’s band of Cut Head Sioux at a point on the Missouri River, opposite the Standing Rock Agency. General Terry has ordered a force of cavairy to make a demand for the custody of the Indians engaged in the massacre and the restora- tion of the horses captured by them at the time.
