Ixixdon, June 19, 187ft,
The Paris correspondent or the Timet, In a letter
reviewing tho piabnt attitude ol the Eastern question,
conclude* as follows:?
"The Czar yesterday. In taking leave of a lady who
wlshel him a good Journey, replied with undisguised
satisfaction:?'! hope I shall spend more tranquil
days at Jugenhelm than those I have passed at Ems.'
FSACKFUL IXFRRSXCRS?WHAT TUS SULTAN AND HIS
8UBJSCTS ARB LIKELY TO DISCOVER.
Such a remark as this is tantamount to a specific
promise, and It may be inferred that the European
Powers are determined to remain spectators of what
passes between Turkey and her subjects and vassals.
This does not mean that the pacification of Turkey
la an accomplished fact, or that wo are on
tha ere of its being effected. Tho Insurgents do not
seem disposed to lay down their arms, nor Montenegro
and Servia to abandon their pretension of annexing?
the one Hersegovlna and the other Bosnia?with the
consent of Turkey herself; but what is known to-day
appears to Indicate that none of the European Powers
will support the insurgents and their neighbors, though
none will endeavor to thwart their designs, and when
the insurgents and tlio Porte come lace to lace, and
Europe is seen to remain a spectator, this insurrec
tion will, perhaps, finish as it began?that is, without
anybody knowing tho reason why. At tne present
moment everybody, particularly the six Powers, are
convinced that peace will not be disturbed beyond the
frontiers of Turkey."

the steamer appronched quite closo to tbe tor|iodo
station, those on board could discern nothing through
the haze. The ateamcr gavo tbe preeoneerted algnnl of
her prescnco as soon as sbo came abreast of the point,
where it t)ad been arranged to giro tho torpedo salute.
Scarcely bad tho shrill whistle of the steamer died
away, when a heavy, dull sound was hoard and the ves
sel shuddered perceptibly in sympathy with tbe flrst
explosion. As torpodo after torpedo rapidly exploded
tbe same sensation was felt on board, though nothing
could bo scon of the effects of the explosion. Only tho
most keen sighted Imagined they saw a white column
riae through the gray fog, but it was so tndistlnot that
it made no improssion. General regret was felt
at the failure of tbe intended spectacle, as bad tho
weather been more Atvorable it could not bavo failed
to be very imposing. It was also tho first occasion In
which a torpedo sslato was given to any Emperor or
rnler, and for this reason, as well as to display tho cer
tain command exercised by the torpedo officers over
their dread engines, they bad set their hearts on mak
ing a telling display. Tbe elements, if not tho gods,
were, howevor, against them. His Majesty aftor peer
ing through the fog for some time and listening to the
rapidly eucoeediug explosions, cot discouraged and wont
below, thinking tbe salute was all over. At this mo
ment tbe fog cloared a little, and two torpedoes were
exploded qulto close to the steamer, In splendid style;

suito did.

there was but little chance of saving any

INDIANS APPB0ACH1NG DENVER
COLORADO SETTLERS TREPABISO TO XIQHT.
[From the Denver Tribune, Jane 1&.]
From Brigadier General J. I* Brush, who arrived in
Denvor by yesterday morning's D. P. train, wo learn
that thero is great consternation in the South Platte
Valley; that a general feeling of danger Irom the Sioux
prevails and that the settlors of that long strip of coun
try have already removed their families to Evana and
Greoley.
The General's mission to Denver won to procure
arms for a company now being organised at Evans and
Greeley, and to purchase ammunition for the two com
panies already equipped, one with headquarters at
Sterling and the other at Godfrey. His call for arms
was at first necessarily refused by Acting Governor
Tnffo, who was Informed by tho Adjutant General that
the Territory had none on hand. But a supply of
twenty-five Spencer rifles, reslgbted by Gove,
was soon after made known by Captain
Smith, of the Jsrvls Hall Cadets, who, under
orders from the acting Governor, telegraphed to the
principal of the college for their Immediate shipment
to this point, so that they can be forwarded to Greeley
this morning. This exhausts the territorial supply,
and further requisitions will be useless unless the War
Department comes to our relief.
TROOrS IS TUB VALLXT.
The militia companies now organized and on duty In
the valley, including the one in prooess of organization
at Evans and Greeley, are three in number, and em
brace about 125 men, rank and file. They are divided
into the following organizations:?
Sterling Scouts?Korty-flvo men, armed with Spencer
rifles. The captain Is S. S. Kcmpton, and the tirat
lieutenant, Ed. Smith. They rrceivod their erma last
week, and are now fully organised snd on duty in ths
field.
Sooth Plat to Guards?Forty-six men. armed with
tweuiy-flve Spencer rifles from Jsrvls Hall, and with
rifles owned by the men. Tbe captain is C. C. Cham
bers; the lirat lieutenant, L. C. Bell, and the second
nontenant, G. B. Bowlos. This organization musters
at Godlrey, and is alao ready lor active operations
Weld County Kifles?Twenty-flvo men, to be armed
wttb Spencer rifles Irom Jnrvis Hall. This company
will muster in Evans and Greoley. Tbe ofltcers bare
not yet been selected. Stiould the situation demand It
tbe number ot men will bo uoublod. A gentioman
who came up Irom the valley yesterday after
noon, reports the presence ol Indians, in small bauds,
on Crow and Beaver creeks, and that two of
tbe redskins were killed on Btaver day before yester
day. Most of the settlers have removed their families
to tbe county seats, but have returned to protect
their cattle irom roving scalpers It Is bard|y neces
sary to repeat, in this connection, the urgent necessity
for a company rt regular cavalry In tbe invaded coun
try. Nothing abort ol this will restore conUdeueu and
thus permit tbo settlers to look alter tbelr crops and
herds, instead of playing soldier under a militia sys
tem that's too lamo to be called a farce. The whole
?thing is sadly In need of reconstruction, unless the
general government le to bo our sole dependence In
cases ol riot or danger from thieving Indians.
ANOTHEB MUIiDEB IN LOUISIANA.
[From the Now Orleans Times.)
The Iberville (lend Lorenzo Jackson, who to foully
murdered Messrs. McCardie and Graham and danger
ously wounded Mr. Don rnonville, It is sal J, has added
another crime to bis record.
While wandering through the woods shortly after tbe
commission of the deed, Jackson met a colored woman
bearing breakfhst to her husband, u wood ohopper. An
outlaw, bunted to tha death, tba eriea of his pursuers
yet ringing in bis ears, Una modern lahmael hesitated
not to sacrifice her life to poeaeaa himself ol tbe food
an# carried.
It was all over in a moment?tho unfortunate
woman's brains bespattered the surronndings?bar
life blood erimeontag tbe sward. Then coolly wiping
bin bludgeon on her dress Jackson sat himself down
beside ber body, yet warm with tne presence of life,
and there atn bin breekfast.
This was the aoene that greeted tbe aflrlghted wood
chopper when, weary with labor end disentisSed at bis
wife's delay, ho started homoward to lean tho cause
of ber sbsenoe.
To hie superstitious mind the body of his wife snd
Jackson's presence bordered on tbe supernatural, and
with a howl of fright tbe wood chopper fled, stopping
not until he reached his cabin, where to an incredulous
audience bo related bis experience.
Finally a hunt waa organized, but proved nusurousa
fat, Jackson having takun advantage of his oppor
tunity ?hd gent no one known whither.
