THE PLAINS.

LOCATION OF INDIANS ON THE RESERVATION.
ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 15.-Gen. Harvey arrived
last night from the upper Missouri, where he
has been experimenting the location o. the
Indian reservation. The daferen, tribes have
settled on separate reservations as follows: On
the first reservation, at the mouth of White
Stone Greek above Fort Randall, are a portion
of the Brules, Ogollalas and Plates. Among
these are the French half-breeds. Bordeau,
Caurri, Bessonetti and Charlie Fanian. The
Indians he,e number 2500. They seemed con-
nted aud were enjoying their dances. The
Cheyennes' reservation is located below the
mouth of Big Cheyenne river. The tribes are
those of the two soHs of Kettle, the Ares, Mn-
coryons and Lower Yanktons, aoout zooV IN
number. Next spring the IndiahS n at inns
point will amount to $500 in all. ihe next
point established is on Grand river, below Fort
Rye, with portions of the Upper Yanktons,
Uncapaches, Cutheads, Biackfeet and Sioux,
numbering 45OO The balance OF the tribes are
out hunting. Should they all come in, it
would swell the number at this point to II 900.
Sp TIED Tail was at the forks of White river
with Bear, Standing Elk and Big Mouth, and
other Indian celebrities recently from the
North Platte. There were some Brute war
parties with them. A reservation will be
eseaoiished at this point for the Brqtes, and it
Is Ia contemplation 20 establish another at
Moreau, below Grand river, for the Blackfeet
ana Sioux, who are drawing supplies from the
Grand river Although it was late in the sea-
son when the operations were commenced,
5000 Indians are now fed. The reservations
are well supplied with the necessaries of life
and the Indians are comfortable.
Gen. Harvey will visit Washington and en-
deavor to persuade Congress to ratify the
treaty made in July last with the Sioux. The
greatest fear of the Indians is that they will
starve.
THE INDIAN WAR.
An Ellsworth, Kansas, letter of the 10th says
Gen. Sulley has arrived at Fort Harker. Gen.
Sheridan's camp was below Fort Dodge. The
General thinks that with the exception of row.
ing bands of young braves, who win continue
to infest the roads and attack small parties, the
hostile Indians have taken refuge in the Ca
manche country, where the campaign will be
conducted this water, Gen. Sulley thinks it
will be impossible to end the War this winter
on account of the character and extent of the
country in which the savages have taken re-
fuge,

HAVANA, Dec. GA Santiago letter Of Dec
says: On the 18th ult the government troops
to the number of 400, armed with the new
Peabody breach-loading rifles, four pieces of
artillery and % light cavalry, headed by Col.
Qutros, left this town for Guar tanamO in a
Spanish man-of-war and two vessels. The ex-
petition arrived at Carmanero, about Is miles
from the city of Guantanamo, early the follow
ing day. Here they were obliged to halt as it
was found that the rebels had destroyed the
raj road which connects the port with the
town.
A small party of cavalry was, however, dis
patched to Guantanamo to ascertain the state
OF affairs. These returned with report that
the insurgents to the number of 600 had at
tempted an attack upon the town but had not
succeeded in forcing an entry. as the garrison
OF lOo men and the volunteers had proved too
strong for them. Slight skirmishes had, how
ever, taken place within 3 miles of the town IN
Waieh SIX OF the enemy and two of the regu-
lars were killed. Arrests have been made of
the private individuals residing in Guantanamo
and supposed TO be concerned in the iusurrec-
ton. They are highly respectable whites !;
they were, however, handed over to the troops
in waiting at Carmanero and afterwards con-
yeyed to Santiago. On the Both the troops re-
turned to our town minus 90 men, which were
sent to reinforce those at Guantanamo, and il
is said these forces will be more than sufficient
TO repel any attack tn, enemy may make.
In the absence of the regulars a body of
armed marines were dispatched from the war
frigate Carmen, now in port, for the parpose of
performing guard duty in town. The insur-
gents to the number of 5000 are at present en-
camped within half a league of this town,
where they have planted their banner of liber-
ty. A few arrests have been made of some OF
the entrances to the town, but no attack has
yet been attempted. 1t is said that the rebels
are afraid to force an entry, which they could
easily do. having many troops. for fear the
Governor should order the ships-of-war to
0 lombard the town from tae bay, and thus i'm
in. 1t was rumored Yesterday that an Ameri-
can vessel laden with arms and ammunition
IA 6aa oeen captured off the coast OF Villa Glare.
Great excitement prevailed here yesterday by
the arrival of the U. s. steamer Penobscot from
wbS,e tne air.; anu as some alarm was oceasioned
engaged IN an exchange Of salutes.
The french war steamer Sourcof, OF four
guns and sevepty-two men, arrived shortly
after the Penobscot. She anchored in the bay.
but no saluting ensued. The American vessel
