Report from the Cheyenne and Arap-
alioe Agcncy-The Cause OF tho Pres
ent TrOubles-fndians Conc out.
Agent Miles, OF the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Agency, on the 10th inst, wrltes-
IL is needless for me to reiterare the causes that
have brought US into these present troubles, as
they have been presented from time to time, to-
getber with my apprehension of serious troubles
in the event OF inactlon and to-day do not hesl-
tate to say that had we been furnished with de-
tachments OF troops suficient to have protected
their own reservations from buffalo hunters and
continuous incursi0ns from white horse thieves,
all OF which was promised them (my records
show that these troops have been earnestly ap-
pealed 0r) all our present trouble would have been
avoided. Thus far none OF our Washington dele
CATION have been engaged in q raid, except Young
Medicine Man. He headed party OF forty
two, aid i have reason to believe was
in the party which captured Hennessys
train, as he Is known to be In
that immediate vicinity. Stone Calf White Horse
Pawnee and White Shield have been out In the
main camp, but talking for peace. They have
made several attempts to get away and return to
the agency, but have been prevented by the Chey-
and cut up their lodges.
''Whirlwind and his band are at the agency and
are our firm friends. His last request was that /
should convey to you his warmest feelings Of
friendshin.n
