CHICAGO, May 3.-The following was received
at General Sheridan's headquarters to-day
Writing under date of March IS from Fort
Sully. General ID. S. Stanley says everything
that has been done to make peace with the
Sioux, as a nation, is an entire failure, and the
Indians are just as far from peace to-day as they
were two years ago. The Indians boasted
while near this place, of having killed white
men this winter over ON the Platte, and steal
ing horses. | believe there are war parties
out now to deprcdate on the line of
the Pacific Railroad. Their hostility may run
ON in some way without showing itself only by
an occasional murder, though fear it may de-
velop in worse form in the way of heavy
attacks on the frontier Unfortunately for the
ideas Of our peace advocates these Indians say
they do not want peace; that the whites are
afraid of them, which is the reason we send so
much for them to eat; that they will make Us
leave this country, and will stop the boats on
the Missouri river. That portion of the Sioux
that were friendly two years ago, have con-
tinued So and are friendly to-day, They have
gained none in their number, and all reports to
the contrary that have been circulated through
the country and asserted at Washington are
false.
