Victoria, C. C, Juno 11. The In diana living in the nei-hhorhood of the npper watera of the Stewart river are in a most deplorable condition. A terrible famine prevails in that district, and the unfortunate natives have already been decimated for lack of food. Conditions have been growing rapidly worse In thit respect, and three miners who have jnt-t reached here from that country say that tlie pitiful scenes enacted among the starving Indian beggars description. They are now almost entirely w ithout food of any kiud, and are now literally perishing In great numbers. So hopeless is the situation, that in a single small Indian village no lest than thirty persons died from hunger just previous lo the departure of the prospectors for this port. The miners who are authority h r these statements declare that nnless abundant supplies are immediately dis patched lo the relief of Iheso famishing and despondent people, their practical extermination is inevitable. j The same trio of returned miners also tell a shocking story of the killing of an Indian girl by a medicine man at the instrtnc t oi fie chief of th tribe to which the girl belonged. According ti the story, the girl was made the victim of a savage ceremony directed by the medi cine man, under the oiders of the chief. Her barbarous death w as for the purpose of propitiating the great spirit which had sent the famine, by the offering np ol a living human sacrifice. Troops will bo sent to the scene of the outrage to arrest the murderers, and bring those guilty of the crime to justice, if they have not already paid the penalty by the slower process of starvation.

Major-General Sir John Ardagb, of the British delegation, declared that Great Britain could not bind herself to sign convention drawn from the Brusseli conference of IS75, but must reserve the right of jndging of the ne cessity of tha expediency of abiding by stipulations of that conference or this conference in general order to her armies in the event of war or in the event of opening a campaign.
