THE INDIAN WAR.

Arrival OF General Sheridan Mt Fort Cobb
Narrative Of His March After Custerss Bat
tc-Treachery Of the Kiowas-How Little
Phil Winds MP the War.
81. LOUIS. Jan. 2, 1859.
General Sherman has received q letter from Gen.
eral Sheridan, dated Fort Cobb December TO- noting
his arrival there the day previous with General Gus
ter's Seventh cavalry and ten companies OF the
Nineteenth Kansas cavalry, In all about
1900 men. General Sheridan spent one day
on Custer's battle field, and found the bodies
OF Major Elliott and sixteen soldiers also the bodies
OF Mrs. Binn and chid white captves In the Indian
camp. Mrs. Blinn was shot through the forehead
and the chlld's brains dashed out. General
Sheridan followed on the trail down the WASH
ita seventy miles, when he came upon
camp Of Kiowas, who met him with q
letter from General Hazen which declared
them to be friendly. Sheridan required the Indians
to accompany him to FC.t Cobb, but discovered
while travelling towards that point that they were
sending their families to the washita mountains.
suspecSng that they were attempting to deceive
him he took Satanta and Lone Wolf and notified
them he would hold them as hostages and that all
the Kiowas did notcome to Fort Cobb he would hang
them. General Sheridan says:-''The Indians now
realize for the nrst time that winter will not
compel us to make truce with them;"
and adds that the "Ki0was have been engaged in the
war all the time and have been playing fast and
o0se; that they have attempted to browbeat General
Hazen since he came to Fort Cobb, but will take
the starch out OF them before leave them" The
Cheyennes, Arapahoes and one band Of Conan
ches, with nifty lodges OF Kiowas, are now
at Washta mountains. General Sheridan, after
consultation with General Hazen proposes. when
the Ki0was come In to punish those who
are known to have been concerned in
personal acts OF murder. He will send Black Ket-
ties sister out to the Cheyennes and Arapahoes and
command them to come in and submit to like treat
ment. II they refuse to come In he will carry on
war against them in the Washita mountains. He
will leave with General Hazen sufficient force to
enable him to control the Indians now at Fort Cobb
and such Others as may come in there. During the
march from Camp Supply the weather and snow were
very severe, bat the health Of the command was
good two menof the Seventh cavalry and six Of the
Nineteenth Kansas company being sick. In private
letter to General Sherman dated day later General
Sheridan says the Kiowas are coming in; that the
Cheyennes have been very humble since their pun
ishment by General Custer, and he has no doubt
that the Arapahoes will also In surrender and
abide by his terms; after which he has no fear OF
renewal Of hostillties.
