It is evident from the debates that the members of tho Hawaiian Assembly are adverse to Chincso immt- gration, and that it will be difflcult for the ministry to obtain appropriations for the encouragement ot agri- culture and immigration or even sufficient funds to moet the obligations entered into during the past fiscal period, It is said that if the money is not forthcoming undesirable complications with foreign governments will be the result, CUBA.

HS SE What Lame Deer, a Friendly Chiet, Re- lates as to the Disaster. DEMORALIZATION OF THE CAMP AT GOOSE CREEK. The Indians Proposing to Make a Clean Sweep of the Agencies, CAN THIS BE TRUEP Sr. Loura, July 28, 1876, A special from Leavenworth, Kansas, says 2 terrible story comes from Sidney, Nebraska, a re- cruiting station on the Union Pacific Ratiroad, not far from Cheyenne, to the effect that the attack made by the Sioux upon Crook’s camp on Goose Creek proved to be more of a slaughter than a fight, nearly three hundred soldiers of Crook’s command being killed and the entire command driven across the creek, a mark for the unerring bullets of their savage adversaries, HOW THE NEWS CAME. The advices state that on last Wednesday even- ing Mr, A. T. Fray, the post suttler at Camp Shert- dan, arrived at Sidney with the information that Lame Deer, a friendly chief. had come into Camp Sheridan, thirty-six hours from the battle field, as a courier, bringing the terrible news, and stating that General Crook had more men killed than Custer had with him in the fatal ight upon the Little Big Horn. THE INDIAN Loss. The loss of the Indians was not stated, as it is hardly probable that Lame Deer knew, the red skins having driven the soldiers across the creek, and be- ing in possession of the field, leaving them sufficient time to bury their dead. A CLEAN SWEEP OF THE AGENCIES. Lame Deer also says that the Indians now have full sweep in the Northern country, and propose, af- ter driving the miners from the Black Hills, to make a clean sweep of the agencies, following which they propose to devote their attention to the different stations on the line of the Unton Pacific Railroad, THE INDIANS GREATLY ELATED, The Sioux feel greatly elated over this, their greatest victory. Large numbers of braves who had deserted the standard of Sitting Bull have now re- joined his forces, THE SOLDIERS DESPONDENT. A feeling of depression and gloom seems to have taken possession of the soldiers in Crook's com- mand, who regard their fate as certain, and who do not expect to see their friends in the States again. NO OFFICTAT, REPORT RECBIVED. This is the substance of the story, as told by Mr. Fray, at Sidney, being what he heard from the lips of Lame Deer himself, but nothing of an oficial character has been yet received at Fort Leaven- worth relating to it. THE SIOUX ATTEMPT TO CORRUPT THE FIDEI- ITY OF THR BLACKFEET INDIAX8—THEY MAKE A DESPERATE PROPOSAL. Orrawa, July 28, 1876. The Canadian Department of the Interior has just received intelligence from the Commander of the Northwest Mounted Police that the Sioux approached the Blackfeet Indians, resident in Canadian Territory, and asked them to take up arms against the whites, *but were refused. The Sioux then proposed an attack on the Ameri- cans alone, but this also failed to cause an alliance. This government has a treaty with the Blackfeet, and it has so far been strictly observed by both parties. BEFORE CROOK'S CAMP, INDIANS WHO WERB IN CUSTER’S FIGHT RE- TURNED TO THE AGENCIES—CHEYENNES KILLED IN THE BATTLE—CROOK THREATENED. Wasninaton, July 28, 1876, The following letter was reccived here to-day :— Curcaco, July 28, 1876, General Srenwax, Washington, D. C.:— Eight Indians who were in tho Custer fight have reached the Cheyenne agency. They report the main body of Indians im front of General Crook. Terry is moving further south, INDIANS RETURNIKG.

P. H, SHERIDAN, Licutenant General, NUMBER OF SIOUX WHO HAVE LEFT THEIR AGENCY. Wasmxeron, July 28, 1876, Indian Agent Hastings reports to the Indian Office, under date of the 25th inst, that, in bis opinion, not more than 400 Sioux, including women and children, have left the agency, and that no more will probably Joeave, as the Council of the Chiefs is ior peace The Agent is taking a census of his Indians, and will report the result soon, REINFORCEMENTS FOR THE SIOUX CAMPAIGN. Ricamoxp, Va., July 28, 1876, Thirty-one members of Company I, Fourth United States Artillery, passed through here to-night, under command of Lieutenant Staunton, from Fort Macon, N. C., en route to Fort Leavenworth, FROM TERRY'S CAMP. AN OFFICER'S DIARY OF EVENTS AT THE CAMP ON THE BIG HORN—COURIERS DRIVEN BACK AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO REACH CROOK— NEWS OF THE BATTLE OF THE ROSEBUD RIVER—VOLUNTEERS START FOR CLOtD PEAK CAMP. Camp ov tHe Yernowstoxr, Wr. &., Orvositr Mourn or Bic Hors, July 16, 1876. On July 3 the steamer Far West leit here about noon, carrying the full intelligence of Custer’s disaster to the | States and the severely wounded of Reno's tmmediate | command to Fort Lincoln. JA courier was sent from the scene of the Ogh: on the | Litle Big Horn on June 28 with despatches to Boze- man, M. T. His horse failed him before he reached the boat then lying at the mouth of the Little Big Horn, ho was furnished another Were and started again and reached the mouth of the Big Horn, where Captain Kirtland’s infantry had beon left in charge of the wagon train, with one compaay of the Seventh infantry (B), of thirty men anda number of teamsters, ana so mach was he exhausted when the need for further effort was over as to be unable to walk alone. GUASTLY SCENES He reported that he had been pursued by Indians, and to effect his escape had swam the Big Horn twice, He was very much excited and rather inco- herent, not even yet having recovered from the shock of the ghastly spectacle of so many brave men, so awiully, so {rightfully mu- tilated, scalped; arms, hands, feet, logs, noses, ears and fiugers cut off, eyes gouged out, skulls smashed in, The poor, senseless bodics slashed in every con- cetvable manner; shot, stabbed and pinioned to the ground by stakes, eyes closed and eyes wide open, filled with such a staring horror as to sicken the most callous, tho bodies swollen and blistered in tho blazing sun and cach hideous, gaping wound filled with aswarming host of buzzing, quarrelling blue flies and this awful blood-curdling picture ever before him on his lonely, perilous ride no won- der, though a man of undisputed cour- age, that when he found himself in @ place of safety, apd the need for further exertion and watchtulness past, and heard the welcome tones of those he knew wero friends, no wonder that le broke down and could hardly restrain the sobs that trembled in his speech as ho told the story of Custer’s defeat and almost utter annihilation to his horror-stricken comrades, He had made the ride of sixty miles ina day and a night, but was so crazed be could nut tel when he started. A PERILOUS JOURNEY ATTEMPTED, Upon the 4th an old trapper, yclept “Sandy,” upon an offer ot $500 for the carrying of a despatch to Crook, volunteered to go, ond at dark was sct across the river, It is avery perilous journey, and the man that gets through richly deserves the reward, as bo ab- solutely stakes his life agamst the $500, all the country between here and Crook being ceaselessly watched by parties of hostile Indians, and *‘Sandy”’ is not the man to cscapo them, I do believe, On the next day alot of horses and mules (wounded and worn out animals) that had beea abendoned on the march from the Littie Big Horn to this point, followed the trail down to the mouth of the Big Horn. An of. cer was directed to,take a number of men, cross the Yellowstone and drive the animals over, THE MESSENGER RETURNS, Ho crossed the river, did not tind auy horses, but old “Sandy” instead, who reportet that he had’ gona up Tullock’s Fork, about fifteen miles, been fired 1ato by some one he could not sec, though’ the moon was shining brightly, ‘The builets struck short and he down into the ravine, und as he heard the ponies away he took to the brush and came back 10 this point, intending to start azain to-night and make another trial, The old fellow’s reasons for not con: tinuing the jouraey last night wasa good one, He id:—'"My horse 18 shod and they could follow my trail withoat any trouble, and I want to get well into the mountains belore I give him up.” ANOTHER TRIAL. The next day (6th) one of the videttes on the hill reported a white horse on the opposite side of the river (that is the color of Sandy’s horse), and upon going over it was found to be the beast he rode aw but there was no trace of Sandy, and the suppositic is that he bas been drowned or the Sioux have got him, and in some way missed the horse, A mail bas just arrived and the steamer Josephine is unloading her freight. A MESSENGER REPORTED KILLED. There is a report in camp that Mr. MeCormaek, of Bozeman, M. T,, who took a mail from here last night, had been killed ‘by the Sioux above here, He 1s an old plainsman, and if they have got him they no doubt paid dearly for thelp prise. You can sce tinder what difficulties the postal business is conducted in this country. A CROW STORY. On the 7th four Crow backs and two squaws camo {nto cainp and reported that ax they were coming down the river they heard shots on tho east side, and upon a nearer approach to the bluffs on this side ‘they saw one horseman chasing another and firing as they ran; the leading horseman seemed only to be trying to getaway, and they (the watchers) thought be would succeed, as he was close to the timber near the river, But as he neared the timber a number of shots were fired at him from below when he was about to enter the timber and nearly opposite where they stood, Tho pursued horseman wheeled and made tor the bluffs, and they, realizing their dan- ger, Scampered back from the blulls, They are quite confident that neither the horse nor rider was bit, though the bullets struck all around bim. When the Crows arrived they were still very much alarmed, and had been making time, I tell you. ? A COURIER FROM CROOK. Tho supposition here is that tho fugitive was a courier from Crook. One cannot say here ina case of this kind, “T'me will tell.”? Men so trequentiy start away from an agency, military post or any other place and are never heard of again that it won't do to say “Time will tell”? THE BATTLE OF THE ROSRDUD. Late this evening (7th) a party of Crows camo in from Crook's camp and stato that he was struck by a large force of Sioux on June 17, He lost nine killed and a number wounded, The Sioux left thirteen of their dead on the ficld, They report that Crook had nearly 200 indians with him, Crows, Pawnees and Snakes, All the Crows have left him as he does not fight to suit them—that is, he did not have his fuil force in the fight; could not get them up in time, I suppose, ‘They also way that though he (Crook) held the fleld, he was obliged to fall back to his train, avd told the Indians that he would there await reinforcements. We have always found the Urows truthful, so much 89 that we do not feel at all jubilant this 7th'of July night, On July 8 Lieutenant Bradly, Seventh infantry, with two men, started for the Crow camp. I hope he wiil have no troubie, but the chances are against him altogether. THR COURIER RETURNS AGAIN, “Old Sandy’’ came back to-day thoroughly cured of all dosiro to distinguish himself as a courier and scout. Ho says that he got as far as the Little Big Horn and made araft to cross it near the mouth. The swift current swopt him, ralt and horse, out into the Big Horn, and there the raft went under an mange tree, apsetting and: submerging it. all he could do to get out. His rifle and rations went to the bottom and his horse into the timber out of sight. And in scrambling through tho treo top he lost one of bis moccassins, a most forlorn predicament, especially as he happened to be in a coun- try that is so strictly spread out with cactus that there is no dodging tt, When he reached camp he looked hke a Roman conqueror of old, only he was wearing the willow instead of laurel, having made a hat of wiliow tops. Just after he had made his way out of the water he was discovered by the Sioux, but, fortunately, owing to the broken nature of the ground, they could not reach him without making a wide detour. They contented them- selves with firing a few shots at him. He slowly mide his way down the river, and seeking a piace of rest and safety in a clump of pines in which to pass the might The sime party of Sioux came within 200 yards of him, and, making a small Ore, prepared to pass the night also. Poor Sandy crept away wet, cold and hungry, barefooted and swearing. He went aown to the river and made another ra(t, and came down the Big Horn almost to the Yellowstone, when his raft went ashore again for- tunately on the right side, and he walked # the way to camp a mixturo of wrath, di: ery. A CALL FOR VOLUNTERRS, Immediately upon his return a written notice was posted ap on atree ealling for volunteers. Three men of Captain Clifford’s company, Seventh infavtry, pri- vates Evans, Stewart and Bell, have offered their ser- vicea aud they are to start to-morrow nigh. Stewart and Evans urc the two men who went down the river on May 27, at a time when we were sur- rounded by Indians and three men had been Killed in sight of camp but a few days betore. They are all brave men, but know nothing of this conntr; and I fear very much for them. They went to Powder River with Gibbon's despatcnes without hope of pecu- niary reward, but they have been paid $100 each for that trip. On the 9th of July a courier (Morganj came through from Powder River with despatches relating to Crook's It 18 substantially asx the Crows reported, it. Whatever advantage Crook had gained he was forced to abandon, and so the Sioux look upon it as a victory for them. ‘So the matter stands just this way. Custer and the five companies that he took into the fight an- ninilated, swept off the face of the earth, thongh the brave fellows carried more than their own number of the cursed red devils with them; Crook has met with adefeat, forced back to nis wagon train, and is calling for reinforcements, and we can thank our lneky stars that in General Gibbon we had a leader €0 pruaent as not to be caught in the trap laid by our wily enemios. Our little army of 303 men (aly that could be led against the Sioux and leave thirty men with the wagons) would not have been a month- ful for them, anu if wehad been cooped up on May as was Reno's command on Jae 25, there would not— could not—have been any succor for for we have been most completely isolated from any adequate suc- corivg force since April lost, and the griet that now prevaits at Fort Lincoln would hw 1 its counter part at an earlier day in Forts Kilis, Shaw and Baker. CROOK'S ERRONKOCS OPINION. General Crook's bold assertion of jast March thatthe strength of the hostile Sioux had been greatly over estimated has not proved correct. On the contrary, since starting with this expedition I have beard a nam- ber, botl old mountaineers and officers who lave served long in this Territory, say, “Crook will find that he is not fighting Apaches now. He will find the Sioux the worst Indiaus to tight that he has ever struck.” A COURIER TO THE CRow CAMP, Scout Harrendeen, the vest one in the outfit, has gone to-day (July 9) to the Crow camp, avout titty miles above here, and will return in about four dayr. When the call for volunteers was mado to go through to Crook Harrendeen said that he would go if ordered, but that he would not volunteer for any money.

TRERY'S AVAILANLE PORCH. We are awaiting the retarn of the Far West, It it has been decided to renew the campaign Ws can mong. ter a force of avout 1,000 infantry and cavalry, That is, the remnant of the Seventh 0, now hore, nincty dismounted Seventh cavalrymen, now at Powder River; a company of tho Sixth’ infantry, six companies of the Seventh infantry, numbering about 200; four companies Second — cavalry that will muster 200, three Gathn guns and one twelve-pounder Napoleon, thirty mon with these fone gans, and to add 200 men Irgm the posts on the Missouri River; abandon our camp on this side of Yellowstone, cross the river, march up the Rose ik, and the next time they effect a junction with © offer battle clean them up # effectually that, as the soldiers say, it will take “four of them to make a shadow." ‘The Rosebud has been Si or years, and ail along the valley as far as the eye cau ing Bull’s camping ground || reach are seaffolds for drying buffalo meat.

The sequel to the story that the Crow buck and two squaws brought in is that the man on horseback pur- sued by another was not a courier from Crook, os sar- | mised here, bat one of two Sioux who, made bold by the reecut successes of their people, went to the Crow camp to steal horses, Tue Crows discovered them, } and had already killed one and were in pur. suit of the other when the party of Crows on this side of the river saw them, | They fed from (heir own friends. In this case “time has tola.”” In fleeing, the smali party of Crows were only following a rule of the country, which is “Never bo discovered first if you can help it,” and “unless you are strong enough to take care of yourself, neve: put yourself within the reach of any one until sure of a welcome.”’ Many a party has paid dearly for disregarding "these simple rules, Bozeman, the noted guide and mountaineer, mistaking a party of Bluckfeet for his friends, the Crows, left a place of security to go out and meet them, leaving his companion behind, When near the Indians he turned toward his friend and cried ont, They are Blackfeet save yourself!” He was shot down and scalped. Hit friend made his escape into some nearby brush, shot through the shoulder. The savages, not knowing thi he was bit, did not dare to follow. A mail has just arrived, and the steamer Josephine is unloading her freight and preparing to start down the river atter new supplies and adaitional troops, and the general feeling is one of gratification that we may have an opportunity to try our band at it, AFTER CUSTER’S BATTLE. HOW THE WOUNDED OF RENO’S COMMAND WERE CARRIED—RAWHIDE AMBULANCES—THE Loss OF BATTLE FLAGS. Bismarcr, D, T., July 24, 1876, After Custer and Reno's great Indian battle on the Little Horn the removal of the sick and wounded bo- came a subject of serious consideration. No ambu- lances could be got into the country, and the nearest point to water transportation was twenty-two miles distant. Rafts were aslvised. but the Little Horn is so narrow, shallow and tortuous rafts could not be got down it, Then it was determined to carry the wounded by hand, but the soldiers were six hours in making three miles, and it took 150 men to move the litters.) A man is a heavy burden, and two men could only varry about ten minutes without resting, The progress through the sage brush was tiresome in the extreme, and St soon became evident if the wounded men were to be got to tho boat in less+ than three days a better mode of conveyance than hand lit- ters must be provided. Lieutenant G. W. Doane, Seconda United States cavairy, was the man for the emergency, and proposed to General Torry that it he would halt for half a day he (Lieutenant Doane) would provide horse litters for the sick and wounded, The halt was ordered, and a detail of men placed at Lieuten- ant Doane’s service. He had no nails, but horses were shot and skinned for rawhide, which is the Indian's substitute fora nail; he bad no rope, but the rawhide answered also for this, Two polo 13 feet long and 3 inches in diameter and laid side by side 3 feet aparty then two cross pieces 7 feot apart (tho length of a bed) wero Inid across tho poles and bound to them with rawhide Noxt, a net work of rawhido was woven from one pole to another, just as we used to cord a bed with rope, Two loops at tho ends reaching like «bent bow from one pole to another completed the litter, A mulo was backed in the front end between the poles, which extended along his sides like a pair of shatts, and the loop placed over a pack saddle, Another mula was led into tho rear end of tho poles, with hi head toward the front mule’s tail and the loop of raw hides‘ placed over the pack saddle and the litter was ready for transportation. A soft bed of grass blankets and robes was then mado on the rawhide cords, and the man latd on it, with bis head toward the front mulo’s tatl and his feet under the rear mule’s nose, [t was astonishing how these litters would carry. {The spring of the side poles and tho giving of tt raw hido destroyed all jolt and alter a lite traveiling the mules would take a uniform st¢p and even trot without hurting tho wounded, Forty-two of these litters wore made ia half a day and the wounded taken in six hours over a distance it would have required three davs to carry them by hand. Even the sitting dewn and picking up of a hand litter, the wounded said, caused them more pain than the trotting of tho males with Mr. Doane’s ingenious contrivance. i LOSS OF BATTLE FLAGS. Perhaps one of the bitterest regrets the officers and men of the Seventh cavairy will have for the unfor- tunate result of the battle of the Little Big Horn will De the loss of their stanaards. General Caster carrica with him into action on that occasion not only his old division flag, but the regimental standards, both of which were captured by the Indians In addition to the division and regi- mental flags Custer lost five guidons carried by the five companies that were with him. Colonel Reno on his field lost three of the seven guidons carried inta battle. Nothing is known of the fighting around Custer’s flags, but the battle on Reno’s side raged fiercest whenever the smaller tailed flags appeared. Again and again the golor sergeants were shot down and their places immédiately filled by others, About one flag three men were kililed and wounded, but it was at last born off the field in fety. Lieutenant De Rudio, seeing a troop flag fall, dismounted and picked it up and carried it away through volleys from the Indian line, but he afterward lost it in the timber, where it became entangled in the branches of atree, wnd before he could loosen it th~ Indians charged and captured it For this battle of the Little Big Horn the Indians have no Jess than ten of our battle flags to show as evidence of their bravery and prowes: THE FATE OF MR. RICHARDSON. Thero appears to be considerable doubt that Mr. Lj P, Richardson, the journalist, has been killed by Indians near Fort Laramie. A despatch has beon re ceived from Mr. Snyder, the Associated Press agent # Cheyenne, stating that the report of Mr, Richardson’ death bas ‘not been confirmed, and intimating that the book mentioned in the original telegram may have been picked up and used to create a sensation, Tele grams have also been received from Mrs. A. 8, Richard son and from Mr. ©, A.
