A passenger steamer also
made regular trips back and forth from this city during the past
summer (our winter), and the excursionists, upon returning, have
invariably expressed their enjoyment of the trip. You may depend
Robinson Crusoe's old home remains intact, and still inhabited by
goats. I enclose you a copy of the English paper here, containing a
cut of one of the little ports of the island, photographed by
Spencer & Co., of this city. Thanking you for the two copies of THE
GREAT ROUND WORLD, I am,
Very truly yours,
JAMES M. DOBBS,
United States Consul.

The latest news from Miles City tells us that the two hundred Indians
are still off the Reservation, and that those who remain under
Government control are unruly and hard to manage.
Settlers continue to bring their families into the city for protection.
The Indians are reported to be riding all over the country in small
parties, destroying everything in their line of march.
