FEVER.
CHICAGO, Sept. Seen. Sheridan, in an interview
with your correspondent this evening, declared IN
the most positive terms that all expeditions to the
Black Hills this Fall and Winter would be prevented.
He is determined that the notice he has given shall be
respected. He has sent orders to Gen. Terry at ct
Paul and also to Gen. Ord at Omaha to seize and
burn the outfits of any such expeditions,
and to arrest those engaged IN them
next Spring He will use all his infu-
ence to have the country properly opened
to settlement by Congressional legislation. At pres
ent the Indian treaty must be respected. Reports
come of expeditions secretly. fitting out at
Sioux City, Iowa, and also at Bismarck
Every effort will be used to prevent them.
Spectators in st. Paul and Bismarck
in the interest of the Northern Pacific Road, are
actively engaged in fomenting the gold fever.
Dispatches being published representing
gold to have been found in unlimited
quantities. when the truth is that all
the gold actually discovered thus far, could be
put in thimbe. Attention is also called to
Bismarck as the nearest and best route to the
Black Hills, when, i'll fact, this route is across
a miserable section of country, unfit for
settlement. zen. sheridan Is cOnHueHt, anu
the experience of your correspondent this Summer
confirms it, that the best approach will be from the
South, by way of Fort Laramie Gen. Sheridan
expresses himself as well satisfied with the results
of Gen. Clusters expedition.
