INTERESTING REPORT OF GEN. cUsTAR's oP-



ERATIoNs.
ST. LOUIS, April IA long report was re-
celved at the military headquarters this morn
ing from Gen. Custar, detailing his operations
IN the field. After breaking camp at Medicine
Bluff Greek, the first signs Of Indians were
discovered on the 18th of March, and the
whole command, numbering 1900 men, moved
forward rapidly, making daily marches two or
three times as long as those of the Indians
Tents were burned, and all blankets, except
one per man, and all surplus clothing, shared
the same fate.
On the 10Th they reached camp ground
which had been abandoned only two days be-
fore. About the same time herd of ponies,
in charge of two Indians, was discovered
Gen. Custar determined to capture the herd,
but after proceeding some two miles, he saw in
the distance, partially concealed behind the
sand hills, body of Indians. After good
deal OF signalling eight of them came out, from
whom Gen. Custar learned that 260 Cheyenne
lodges were encamped within ten or twelve
miles, 200 of which were encapped directly III
front of small stream. Medicine Arrow,
Chief of the Cheyennes, and several other no
ted chiefs, then rode up. Among the 200
lodges were those of the Dog Soldiers" the
most mischevous. blood thirsty and barbarous
band of Indians that infest the Plains.
Gen. Custar first intended to attack the vii
lainous lot, when he discovered that the Chey-
ennes held two white females captives, Mrs.
Morgan and Miss White. He concluded not
to do so, at least till he had Those women out
of the hands of the savages. He therefore
went with Medicine Arrow to his lodge in the
centre of the village. Before entering the vii
lage he perceived the greatest excitement and
noticed that everything was prepared for
flight. The General thinks that had he then
been compelled to attack them with his IA
tigued troops he could have done no more
than capture their lodges He ordered the
arrest of chiefs "Big Head" and "Dull Knife
intending to hold them under guard as hosta-
ges for the white women captives. After con-
siderable parleying, and only when the rope
and tree were chosen, did the Indians deliver
up their captives.
The story of their treatment, as told by the
captives, is of such cruelties and enormous in
dignities that it is surprising that civilized be-
ings could have endured it and survived The
Indians express themselves heartily sick of
war and are willing to go to that part of the
country which has been designated for them.
Gen. Custar did not lose single man of his
command. He concludes his report with the
following words:
IT now hold captive the Cheyenne chiefs as
hostages for the good behaviour of their tribes,
and for the fulfillment of the promise of the
after to come in and conform to the demands
of the Government This I consider as the
end of the Indian war"
