EXPECTED RAID OF SIOUX INDIANS ON PENBINA
AND ST. JOSEPH.
A special from St. Paul to the Tribune
says Positive information Is received from
perfectly reliable authority that the United
States Government has been notified In
manner and from source it will be bound
to take notice of that the Canadian sdher
ents in the Red River settlement and at
Portage La Prairie have melted the Sioux
Indians to raid on Pembina and St. 10.
seph, in retaliation, as it is claimed, for al
legged aid and cOuntenance given to the Red
River rebellion by American citizens on
this side Of the international line. The in
formation on which this notification was
based came from person in the councils of
the Canadian Government and in the secrets
of Governor McDougals adherents In the
settlement.
In order that the gentleman to whom it
was given might prepare for his own per-
sonal safety, he was assured that if not be-
fore then, by the opening of epring, the en-
tire settlement on the American side of the
boundary would be wiped out by these
Sioux marauders, who, for obvious reasons,
are opposed to the annexation of their pres
ent secure refuge from punishment, and
who have been told that annexation TO this
country is the object of the movement. The
Government is asked to make inquiries on
the subject, and to provide ample protection
| to American residents at Pembina. This
notice will, no doubt, be heard of via Wash.
ington in a short time.
| NDoUGALL SAYS THREE ARMIES WILL INVADE
THEsCoUNTRY IN THE SPRING.
A letter from Pembina, dated the day af-
ter McDougal left, says there has been nc
disafection among the patriots. nor any idea
of giving mp the cause. 1t is a fixed fact
| that there will be no civil war in Red
River, as the people are almost unit IN the
purpose Of keeping Canada out, and they
will 90 in for annexation to the United
States before they will submit to Canada
yoke. McDongall has started for home, anG
it is we'll for him and the country. We vii
now have quiet until the opening of spring
when may be expected some stirring times
as the Governor has given out that there
will be three invading armies in the country
| -one by Lake Superior, one by York Facto
~ and one by British Columbia, across the
Rocky Mountains-and he cited the invasion
of Abyssinia as to what the lion would d.
when he wagged his tail Same writer say,
we have authority for knowing that tn,
SOiux Indians of Little Crows and Little
Skies. a band of fugitlves from America
have been fed and kept in readiness to maxi
a raid on the United States In spring, ant
sweep US all off In retaliation for the sup
posed part we have taken against GOverno
McDougall
The leaders of the Governors party il
the settlement are all fends in human shap
and would stop at no bloody means to &C
complish their ends. and it is all foolishnes
to suppose that McDougall is not cognizan
of ali their doings. Yet he went off yes
terday without note of warning to any o
US, and the very last words of his Attorne,
General, Richards, to US were: 1--WE vii
