D Dspatches dated April 7th have been
received from Colonel D. Stanley, com
I manding Fort Sully, Dakota, mention
ing that there were previous dates o.
report.
There came to the agency near BIG
Cheyenne about ole hundred lodges
under the leadership Of Spotted Eagle,
head soldier Of the San Arcs. The
Chief has been a big man among his
PEOPLE for eighteen months, having won
his distinction from having led the wal
,rty which killed all Of party OF
tsenty-nine Crow warriors last year.
lie Is now suffering from lung wound
received IRON the Crows. the party
came ON the Rosebud, near its juno
ii m with the Yellowstone. their object
bein. 10 trad and return TO their
cOuntry.
Spotted Eagle refused to take rations
or any presents while at the agency, but
was not disinc!ined 10 talk, and was
vel behaved and orderly in all his
dealing, with the traders and other
whites He requested Colonel Stanley
to hold a council, and talk was had
with him, the agents and Officers at Big
Cheyenne being present He appeared
to be very well informed and knew all
about the threatened invasion OF the
Black Hills, but did not allude much to
it, as he stated he had bpen told that
the Gre 1t Father at Washington would
prevent the occupation OF that country
by the whites. He objected to the tel
egraph line terminating at Fort Sully,
and spoke OF the Northern Pacific rail-
road and the intention Of running it
through his country. Neither himself
nor any Sioux authorized to speak tor
his people had consented to this and
never would listen to any proposition
70 this effect. He would fight railroad
people as long As he lived, and would
tear up the track and kill lis builders.
Upon ITS being stated that the road
would be built despite his opposition
and that such a course as he proposed
would bring ruin on his people, Spotted
Eagle admitted the truth of it and said
the driving off ofthe buffalo was death to
his race and he would fight knowing ne
would be beaten. Colonel Stanley gives
the above as the sentiment of young
chief OF undoubtei influence. He
advises when the railroad work
crosses the Missouri river we
must look for Sioux hestiIities.
lie does not believe negotiation can do
ANYTHING with these wild OF independent
indians and thinks the safety and se.
curity against Sioux man is to guard
the progress OF the railroad west Of the
Missouri with a force so large as to
intimidate and scare the Indians. In
the same council alluded to in this
dispatch other Indians spoke defiantly
and very impertinently. Spotted Eagle
talked very calmly, without passion,
and Col. :. believes he meant all he
said.
