ionnais and Cut Heads are moving IN concer; with
the Sioux, and that large force attacked fortified

without precedent in Indian history, and that the

Ts.E WAR IN THE SOUTHWEST.

GHKEYviLlS. No. Tge.iay Aug. 70. 1904
Since the battle at Lone Jack. Gen. Blunt, with a
Formidable force, has been pursuing The combined
Rebel band under Coffee and Quantrell. IL was ex-
pec.ed that they would form a junction will Rams at
Greenfield. and offer him battle. All hoped such
would be the case, for Gen. Blunt had srii cient
forces TO dspe any feelings of alarm as TO the result
being other than victory for the National arms.
1he guerrillas would also have almost their entire
strength in the engagement. With their defeat and
dispers ion would virtually end guerrilla raids in Mr.
sonr; but the Rebel Rains War not at Greenfield,
and The bands Of Coffee and Quantrell fed on
Arkansas alone promised safety, aud that WAS
gained 10 speedily as possible. Gen. Blunt, having
found further pursuit useless. has sent his artillery
and cavalry TO Foi Scott. His infantry yet remain
in tie vicinity Of Greenfield, where all is at present
ouiet. In Arkansas, Coffee and Rains have formed
a junction, and are recruiting and recognizing, eva
dently FOR the purpose Of further depredaiions.
Gen. Blunts force is 10 disposed that he can keep
close watch and speedily to any point required
With the exception Of small rowing bands, the State
al present may be considered free from Confederate
forces, though they are only waiting for a favorable
opportunity TO again swarm over IT.
