Italy Determined on a “ Vigorous” Foreign Policy. THE EUROPEAN PLAGUE. {By caBLE TO THB HERALD.) Loypon, Jan. 23, 1879. General Grant and his party arrived at Marseilles yesterday morning at eleven o'clock. They will sail for Suez in the steamer Labourdonnaye at noon to-day. NQRDENSKIOLD'S ICE-BOUND STEAMER. ‘The St. Petersburg Golos announces that authentic intelligence has been received from the Governor of Eastern Siberia that Professor Nordenskiold’s steamer, the Vega, is ice-bound forty miles from East Cape. The authorities of Jukutsk have been in- structed to issue u general summons to the natives to assist the expedition. A special relief expedition of reindeer and dog sledges has been organized, but it is feared this assistance will be too late. A Russian man-of-war from the Pacific station will shortly pro- seed to Behring Straits to endeavor to extricate the Vega or bring off the crew. af CAMINET CHANGES IN FRANCE. It isannounced from Paris that M. Teisserenc de Bert has voluntarily resigned the portfolio of Agri- culture and Commerce. This occasions the Cabinet, in which his position has lately been a purely negative one, no inconvenience. On the contrary, it saves it from the consequences of his imprudence in de- nouncing the treaties of'commerce without having fixed on a definite: economic policy to follow after taking such a step. The correspondent who sends this adds that it is expected M. Jules Ferry, who was the author of tho vote of confidence passed by the Deputies on the 20th inst., and who personifies the compromise then effected, will succeed M. De Bort. M. Gambetta’s neyspapers—the République Francaise and Petite République—are still discontented. The former says it cannot suppose the changes df functionaries foreshadowed by M. Dufaure’s speech will fully satisfy the Lett. The latter fears as fresh crisis, though it thinks the present situation may endure some time. Le Temps says it is certain that M. Ferdinand Herold, Senator of the Left, has re- placed M. Duval as Prefect of the Seine. One Eng- lish correspondent declares that he knows on the best authority that President Mac- Mahon had determined to resign if M. Dufaure was ousted and he (MacMahon) conse- quently deprived of control of the War Depart- ment. 18 GAMBETTA MASTER ,OF THE SITUATION ? ‘The Times’ correspondent in Paris, writing last night, said M. Gambetta certainly only remained in the ranks of the extreme Left to bring them to more moderate views. As soon as he obtains this result he will return to the leadership of the united Left, with his strength unimpaired by the passing defeat, The Zelegraph's correspondent says the Cabinet's every act will in the future be carefully scrutinized, and its continued existence will depend on tho sufferance of the Chamber of Deputies. This is exactly,the result which best suits M. Gambetta’s 4policy. . ITALY’S FOREIGN POLICY, In the Italian Senate yesterday the debate upon the foreign policy of the government was continued. Signor Depretis renewed his deciarations of Tuesday. The only new point indhis speech was the ansertion that the interests of Italy forbade any modification of the status quo with Tunis. This is interesting in*| connection with the relations between France and Italy. The Senate adopted an order of the day, which ‘was accepted by the Cabinet, to the effect thet in omer to uphold the national prestige - and institutions it is necessary not only foyally to ob- serve treaties, but also to see that the internal policy does not disturb the financial equilibrium or mili- tary organization. The foregoing is considered to imply censure of the policy of the late Cairoli Cab- inet. No confirmation his yet reached Rome of the report from Belgrade that Colonel Gola, the missing Italian member of the Servian Boundary Commis- sion, was robbed and murdered by Turkish brigands near Plevna. : RUASIA AND THE EAST. Intelligence has reached Calcutta that a Russian steamer has mado its way up the river Oxus and beyond the Afghan fronticr. The Chi- nese Embassy was received by the Czar on, Monday last with great ceremony. The St. Petersburg Gazette states that complete anarchy prevails in Kashgar. The rebels outnumber the Chinese force of occupation. Prince Lobanoff, the Russian Ambassador at Constantiiople, and Garatheodori Pacha, the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affuirs, had an interview yesterday. ‘The definitive treaty has not yet been signed. GUARDING AGAINST THE PLAGUE. Preliminary conferences in regard to the plague Bave commenced between the German Privy Coun- cillor Finkelnburg and the members of the Austrian Sanitary Board. The establishinent of a rigorous sanitary cordon, with the co-operation of Roumania, from Memel to Sulina is suggested, The Northern Railway has given notice that direct traffic from Russia will be suspended after Friday. A Vienna despatch to the Standard say it is expected that the importation of woollens, leather and other Russian products likely to carry infection, will shortly be prohibited, The Sanitary Commission is instructed to take all necessary measures without regard to trade interests. A case of the plague is reported at Nijni-Noygorod. An official report received at Madrid states that the cholera is increasingly prevatent in Asia Minor. CABLE NOTES. A despatch from Copenhagen says It is feared that ® genéral commercial collapse is imminent in Sweden. Further failures are daily expected, and thousands of persons have been thrown out of em- ployment. The Eecles Cotton Mill, at Ashton, near Preston, bumbering 29, spindles on full time, was burned yeatorday. hundred and thirty persons are thrown out of employment, ‘The lose is £30,000, The court martial held on the officers of the Ger- man iron-clads Grosser Kurfurst and Konig Wilhelm met at Berlin on Monday last.. A Berlin despatch says it reported that Prince Bismarck is willing to withdraw his bill to discipline the Reichstag in consequence of the vehement op. position it meets from the diets of the various Ger- man States, An clection was held in Norfolk yesterday to fll the va ancy in the House of Commons occasioned by the death of Mr. James Duff (conservative). Mr. E. Birkbeck was the conservative candidate, and Sir T. F. Buxton was nominated by tho liberals, Mr. Birkbeck was chosen, receiving 2,742 votus against 2,262 for his competitor, A Geneva despatch to the Times notes that American coals are beginning to sell there slightly cheaper than French end German coals and are much superior to them, An American locomotive burning anthracite coal is running in Geneva. From Geneva it is announced that an amateur regatta, with special races, for university oarsmen, of all countries, is contem- plated, to be held probably in August next. A committee has been appointed to sound the Eng- lish, American and Continental boating clubs. Some Austrian and German clubs have already consented to enter. GALES IN EUROPE. FURTHER REPORTS OF THE EFFECTS OF THE STORM OVER GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND— TOTAL WRECK OF ANOTHER VESSEL. [BY CABLE %O THE HERALD.) Loxspos, Jan. 22, 1879, The weather report of the Dublin Times states that the storm predicted in the Hynarp has raged for the pasttwo days with tremendous force, and is likely to be attended with disastrous results to ship- ping. The wind was very high last night, particularly on the eastern and southern coasts of Ireland. The sea was terrific in St. George's Channel. It is feared that many vessels have been caught in the storm. WRECK ON THE WELSH COAST. The Norwegian bark Mercur, Captain Frivold, from Boston and bound for Pen- arth Roads, with a cargo of Indian corn, became unmanageable in the gale and went ashore at Port Einion Gower, a peninsula of South Wales which projects into the Bristol Channel, forming the most westerly part of the county.of Glamorgan. This peninsula ‘is about fifteen miles in length, running from northeast to southwest, and has an average breadth of five miles. The great exposure of the locality and the nature of the coast, which is bold, rocky and deeply indented, gave very little hope of saving the vessel from the time she struck. The crew, how- ever, have saved a large quantity of the effects of the ship and all the cargo. LATEST REPORTS. Liverpool, the weather is foggy, with moderate wind from the east; Scilly, the gale continues, barometer 29.80 ; Plymouth, the sky is overcast and a strong wind is blowing from the northeast, barometer 29.99 ; Holyhead, the barometer has risen considerably, wind strong from the east.

Havana, Jan 22, 1879. It is reported that s majority of the people of Venezuela have risen in favor of Guzman Blanco. A schooner left St. Thomas on the 12th inst., convey- ing @ number of Venezuelan exiles, partisans of Blanco, to Puerto Cabello. Blanco was momentarily expected to arrive at St. Thomas from Europe. A letter from Puerto Cabello, January 3, says the town was in possession of the revolutionists and the fort was in possessjon of the government. SHELLING THE TOWN. ‘The war steamer Bolivar was aiding the fort, shell- ing the town and destroying much property and many lives. The American schooner Marcia Rey- nolds, with « valuable cargo from New York, was obliged to stop at the entrance of the port. ‘The latest advices by telegram, via Trinidad, say General Cedeno was beaten at Moracai by the gov- ernment troops and he himself was taken prisoner. AFFAIRS IN HAYTI. Port av Prince, Jan. 10, 1879. Outbreaks are feared. Business is quiet.

JANUARY 23, 1879—TRIPLE SHEET. : THE CHEYENNE FUGITIVES, | ees ents a Captain Wessells Recovers the Trail and Pushes On, SIOUX SOLDIER CHIEFS ENROLLED, —_—_—_ Probability that the Flying Hostiles Will | Be Overtaken. A SUDDEN ALARM.! Fears of an Attack on Fort Robinson. (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Forr Ronrnson, Neb., Jan, 22, 1879, A courier arrived here late last night from Captain Weasells’ command, and he reports that that officer ison the high ground, near Bluff Station, on the Hat Creck road, in’ pursuit of the fleeing Cheyennes, where he has taken up their trail. Captein Wessells is separated from the two companies (B and,D, of the ‘Third cavalry) from Fort Laramie, commanded respectively by Captain J.B. Jobuson and Lieutenant J. €. Thompson, under Colo- nel Evans, and says ho does not know where they are. Captain Weesells gives . it as his opinion that the Cheyennes are making their way (ag foreshadowed in these despatches) by a course northeasterly from this fort to the agency of the Ogallala Sioux, under Red Cloud. They will go down, it is thought, to-night on the old Cheyenne trail, leading between here and Camp Sheridan, near chadmn Creek, where they surrendered to Captain Johnson. The propriety of intercepting them by troops sent from here to that point, only about twenty miles distant, has been discussed, owing to the fact that there are but two companies of the Third United States cavalry available. This cannot be done without leaving the fort and Indian prisoners stripped of sufficient guard. A FLANK MOVEMENT, Colonel: Evans is understood to have struck out with his two companies, endeavoring to charge the Cheyennes as soon as he can bring them to stand, and great confidence is felt by Lieutenant Schuyler, of General Crook's staff, that if he can get at them he will capture or kill the desperate Cheyenne band. Colonel Evans has as yet sent no advices of his plans +to Lientenant Schuyler, who has no other informa- tion of the field movements up to this moment. But much confidence is manifested in Colonel Evans’ determination to deprive the Cheyennes of all chance for escape again. SUPPLIES GOING FORWARD. Licutenant G. W. Dodd left with rations to-day at noon for the field of active operations, accompanied by eighteen Sioux scouts and a twelve pound mountain howitzer, He will follow the Hat Creek road until he reaches the besieging force, when the Indians under him will be brought into effective use to overcome the Cheyennes by resorting to Indian tactics. THY. SOLDIER CHIERS. ‘Three Bears, White Bird, Iron Crow, No Flesh, Love Bear and Many Wolves are among the most im- portant of the soldier chiefs that Lieutenant Dodd has taken with him, They are all enlisted for three months as soldiers, and were furnished with rations and horses. RED CLOUD NOT NEEDED, This whole movement was effected without theaid or countenance of Red Cloud or that of Agent Irwin, who opposed it, and argues that other influences are at work among the Ogallala Sioux independent of them. FIRING GOING ON. A stage driver who came in here yesterday reports that he saw Indians and heard rapid firing on the road to Fort Laramie, near Hat Creck Junction. Should the escaped Cheyennes get into the Pine Ridge Agency, where Red Cloud’s people are, it will : complicate the situation seriously. THE WOUNDED SQUAWA, Nothing has been done about the surrender of the captive wounded Sioux women and children here, as no order has been received as yet. A MASSACRE PLANNED. Corporal Zinzer, of Company C, Third cavalry, says he has discovered that the Cheyenne prisoners here had agreed upon a plan to seize the arms of the company while they were at the stables, and then massacre all the whites at this fort. The consum- mation of this plot was happily prevented by the opportune arrival of Companies M and H from the Missouri River, under Captain Wessells‘and Lieu- tenant Paul. WILD HOG IN InONH. The Sioux Indians who came hero to act as scouts were not allowed to converse with the captive Cheyenne leader, Wild Hog, but were, however per- mitted to look at him closely, ironed hand and foot, under guard, a spectacle which seemed to amaze thom exceedingly. Ths wounded prisoners are | doing well at present. AN ALARM .AT FORT ROBINSON—FEARS OF AN7) ATTACK FROM CHEYENNE DESPERADOES. (BY TELEGRAPH 70 THE HERALD.] Forr Roptyson, Neb., Jan, 22—9;30 P, M. ‘The garrison has just been aroused by the firing of" } one of the sentries upon some unknown person whom he challenged and who did not wait to answer, but ran off into the dark- ness. The men immediately fell into line and as 1 write remain under arms. Lieutenant Simpson, who is in command, saye that he has been under some apprehension to-night of unwelcome guests in the bluffs near the fort, but nothing definite is known. AN ATTACK FEARED, Every one is on the qui rire, aad some fears are felt that the Cheyenne desperadoes may make a sortie upon this place in retuliation for their late punishment here, which, as being in accordance with the Indian character, is not decmed improbable, The émaliness of the force here would seem to warrant this theory, though on the other hand it is said that the Indians, owing to their superstition, would never venture to fight near bere again, LATEST FROM THE FIELD—THE FUGITIVES OVERTAKEN AND A BATTLE BEGUN—CAPTAIN WESSELS WOUNDED--AMBULANCES SENT FOR- WARD, Fort Rontssox, Neb., Jan, 22, 1879, The Cheyenne Indian campaign has closed far ® time at least. On Monday Colonel Evans, with Companies B and D, Third cavalry, found runaways in a strong position om the cliff four miles north-of the stage ypad and ‘partially succeeded in | cutting off their progress. They, however, effected their usual escape and moved toward Red cloud Agency. Captain Wessels, whose scouts conveyed this mews to him, started at once on the trail with his tour companies of cavalry, and at noon to-day he came up with them some forty-five miles from this post. Then the work of capturing them dead or alive began in thorough earnest. In fact but thirty-two, with nine of that number badly wounded, ave alive of the forty-nine fugitives that were in the field, leaving seventeen killed, CAPTAIM WESSELS WOUNDED. Captain Wessclls was slightly wounded, The ser- geant of Company Eand an Indian scout were also wounded to an unknown extent, ‘Three of Captain Wesselis’ command—s sergeant, a farrier and one private—were killed, ‘This news arrived verbally ky acouricr at mid- night, and more couriers, with details of the battle, are expected soon, Ambulances started at midnight to bring in the dead and wounded, A SOLDIER'S STORY OF THE ESCAPE AND PURSUIT OF THE CHEYENNES—BRAVERY OF THE SAV- AGES—MISMANAGEMENT OF THE MILITARY— HOW A SINGLE CHARGE WOULD HaVE ENDED ALL. Yorr Ronrsson, Neb., Jan, 17, 1 ‘To tHe Epivor of THE HeraLp:— On the afternoon previous to the night in which savages effected their escape from Fort Robinson Wild Hog, head chief of the imprisoned band of Cheyennes, was separated from his people and re- mayed to the old cavalry camp, distant from here about one mile. After the separation of Wild Hog was cflected he was induced through cajolery (and it may be promises) to use his influence toward'caus- ing the remainder of the band to emerge from the prison room and peaceably accede to the wishes of the Great Father regarding their removal South, In this parley with his people Wild Hog displayed signal eloquence, earnestly exhorting them to sup- press any feeling of resistance which they may have entertained and to gnietly acquiesce in the manner of their disposal., But to all intents and purposes Wild Hoy’s magnificent strains of rhetoric were with- out avail. A BAVAGE TRICK. ‘True, about thirteen squaws rushed from the build- ing apparently excited, as if after a severe struggle in endeavoring to accomplish their exit there- from. I am, however, rather inclined te be- lieve, owing to the superannuated appearance of the dames, that they were literally forced out, as being too enfeebled to participate in the premedi- tated flight. The savages, no doubt, thought it best to get rid of them, thus retaining only those of their women who could boast of youth, and, in the eyes of their lords and masters, a fair amount of personal charms. UNHEEDED WARNING. ‘The rumor prevalent here is that Wild Hog told Licutenant Chuse, Third cavalry, that his people would break loose that night. It is also currently spoken of that Licutonant Chase communicated this important information to his command- ing officédr with: the view, of course, that the commanding officer would take the neces- sary steps to prevent their escape, such as holding the troops in readiness during the night and having some detachments stationed at impor- tant points to cut off the retreat of the savages toward thebluffs. Licutenaut Chase, being an officer of considerable experience regarding the subtleties of the Indian character, this fact alone ought to make a suggestion from him-worthy of the notice which, as the sequel will show, it deserved. On the night that the savages broke loose the com- mand retired to their beds as on any ordinary occa- sion. ‘Tho enlisted men of the gurrison not bei notified to hold themselves in readiness, did not for a moment suppose that their serviecs would be re- quired during the night. ‘THE WORK OF THE ENLISTED MEN, As a imatter of course when the outbreak took place the soldiers were naturaily not on hand ax promptly as desirable, Under these disadvantageous circumsiances the troops displayed sigtiul alac- rity in getting under arms and opening a brisk fusillade on the savages as they re- treated toward the bluffs on the Laramie road. That the aim of the soldiers was accurate, even at the hour of cleven o'clock P. M., was dis- played by the sight presented uext morning of nine- teen full grown bucks, nine squaws and four chil- dren lying dead. The fact of squaws and children being among the victims will be accounted for by the affair having taken place in uight time. The squaws carrying the papooses on their backs were very readily taken for buck Indians, and if any person who chooses to cavil over this theory were himself a participant of the affair he would not be very likely to make a careful discrimino- tion as ‘to the vex of the party he fired upon. ages who escaped. being shot down entered the bluffs they made a stand, aud turning omthe pursuing soldiers held them at’ bay long enough to enable some of their women and the dn bucks to secure a temporary haven of refuge. ‘The soldiers charged their position, routed them and succeeded in capturing a number of women and children. So far the troops acted, as T should judge, from impulse, irrespective of orders from officers. Every man was apparently the criterion of his own line of action. INDECISION: Now the officers present themsclves upon the scene, and what between orders aud counter orders nothing further to speak of was effected that night for while the officers were deliberating as to measure to be used the savages succeeded in atta’: ing what some of them were pleased to characterize as an impregnable position. The sroope attempted to make a detour sround the bluffs for the purpose of quining a point which would com: the position assumed by the savages. This the officers deemed impracticable, and with the cxeeption of C tain Wessells and a few men pany the remaining officers, with spective commands, returned to garrison. tain Wessells, with those few men referred seven in all, succeeded in overtaking a smail party of suvuges and killing two of their pumber, after which Caytain Wessells and party also returned to garrison at half-past five in the morning. On the return of Wessels to garrison he organized 4 command and started in the of the savages, took up their trail (quite casily, the snow on the ground siding him in this and allowing him to follow the trail at such a rate that he quickly hove in sight of the re- treating Indians. The latter saw that by continu- ing their flight then there w ance of escaping the soldiery. They took to and in an incredi- bly short space of time with and other imple- ments improvised rifle pits, from within which they ein t the troops at bay succeeding in killing ral Ore, Company A, Third cavalry, without sustaining any apparent injury themselves. POORLY COMMANDED. troops were not ordered to charge position, and as & matter of course well disciplined regulars would not be guilty of such a@ gross insubordination as to make the attempt on their own responsibility. Such a proceeding would bo attended with all the pains aud penalties of court martial, During the day the troops merely kept wp @ harmless fire on the position of the Indians, and at six o'clock ‘chat evening they all returned to camp, leaving fee yot unvanquished savages undisputed possessors ofthe field. Next morning again the troops returned to fue scene of hostilities of the previous evening only to find the Indians removed to another locality, and while trailing them to their new change of posi- tion the troops received @ volley from the rifles of the savages, wounding Private Painter, of Company ©, Rhird cavalry. In this new position of the savages they again stood the troops at bay for the remainder of dhat day, killing Private Good, of Company L, Taint cavalry, sustaining no visible depletion them: selves. Night tells again upon the scene, and, eushroaded in the mantle of darkness, those brave Cheyeunes again succeeded in eluding the now exas- perated troopers. Next morning they again ran ul of the troops, this time without injury to a either party. WAITING YOR THAT GUN. ‘The Indians: had thix time the (for themselves) worst position of any since their eseape. Yet there was no injury inflicted upon them, The troops “dilly-dallied””” all day long waiting for a twelve- pounder Napoleon gun to” arrive, and when it did anrive they found they could not place it in any position to play upon the point taken by the savages.
