The INDIANS. Red Cloud and party arc
cx, cc,ed to reach Washington to-day, and
will be as igncd quarters at The same hotel
With Spotted Tail and his companions. The

their stay in civilized regions, and express a
desire to get through with their business as
soon as possible, to as to leave ior their homes,
though they would be glad to visit New York
and Sc LOUIS en- route. They are still doubt
full about Red Cloud coming and Spotted

from him, in which Red Cloud was advised
10 preserve peaceab!e relations with the white
mems govcrnmcnt.-Ndt. Rep.
