CHICAGO, April 27.-To-day General Sheri-
dan received letter from General Stanley,
commanding Fort Sully, Dakota, dated
April9. 1t says that tor a week previous the
Indians ON the Cheyenne reservation had
been very insolent, ana there were strong
indications that they would soon break out
into open hostilities. There are 800 lodges
of Sioux at or near Fort Sully. of which 500
of the Brutes are hostile to the whites.
They offer all sorts of insults to the Indian
agent at that point dancing war dances
before his headquarters and exhibiting the
scalps OF white men whom they have
murdered.
They are led by Red Leaf, the Indian who
led the attack at the massacre at Fort Phil
Kearney. They have ordered the Two
Kettle and Fools bands ACROSS the Missouri
river, these bands being friendly to the
whites. Most of the employees Of the agency
have left through fright.
General Stanley is firmly convinced that
there can be no peace and no living near the
hostile Sioux till they are soundly thrashed.
He is ia constant fear for the fate of the
agencies On the Cheyenne reservation. Gen.
eral Sheridan is of the opinion that he can
get the upper hand of the Brutes, being
thoroughly acquainted with all their modes
of living and of lighting.

two of the most estimable citizens of the
county. The desperadoes then escaped, but
the citizens turned out. hunted them down
