Hon. A. W. Hubbard and others, Sioux
City, Iowa. The Secretary of War has
sent me your dispatch OF the Dist inst,
from Sioux City. Gen. Terry, COM
mauding the Department OF Dakota, has
directed that the Gordon mining party |
be released if the capture was made out
side of Sioux reservation, but in case 1t |
was made inside, to require promise |
to violate the conditions of the treaty of |
1869 with the Sioux Indians, which for |
bids any trespass on the part of the |
whites until the Government gives per-
mission. The Gordon party or any |
other party have no more right under |
the treaty of 1869 to go to the Big Horn |
than they have to go to the Black Hills,
and it might Just as well be understood |
at once that it or any other party will
not be permitted to go to these places
until the instructions which now govern
the military are revoked, Signed. P.

amount of destruction. as there are hun
dreds of isolated settlements, and hun
