WASHINGTON. June 4.-Ihe Sioux In
dians were photographed to-day iu a
group. Red Cloud, however, declined,
saying that his picture could be had by
paying him $25,
The Indians and Secretary Delano sub
sequently had short conference. The
secretary said that if they did not believe
him, and do as he advised, he was afraid
they would hereafter believe him to their
sorrow. If they would take the 5000,
he would try and get $4,000 more for
them next winter; if they did not he would
refuse to let them have the privilege of
hunting on the Smoky Hill fork any longer.
He could not afford to have the reace of
the country disturbed and the danger of
murder committed. A commission had
been sent to the Black Hills to see if there
was any gold there. Neither he nor the
president knew whether the was any there
or not. Ifthere was, it would be impos-
sible to keep the white people out. The
indians cannot always restrain their young
men, neither can we always restrain the
white people, If gold was found there, the
government would pay them literally FOR
the land There was portion of the Big
Horn country that the Indians did not use,
and the. government would buy that at a
| fair price. He desired them to take all
that he had been said to them home to
their people, and obtain an answer and
send word back to him as soon possible.
Spotted Tail said the Great Spirit had
told him never to steal anybody's country
without paying for it. If you had some
sense of right we could get along well
enough, The secretary said he had not
accused him or his people Of stealing.
| Spotted Tail said he wanted to talk about
his agency matter before be went home,
and he would like to 60 home tomorrow
after breakfast. The secretary withdrew,
telling the Indians they might talk all
night with the commissioners about their
agencies if they wished.
