ing reasons First-His voice is SO used up
that he is not able to make speech. Second

patch tom the Cheyenne Agency to Gen
Pope gives the particulars of the revolt at
that agency on April 8. While the guards
were attemptingto iron one Of the Stone Calf
Indians the prisoner broke away. The
guards fred and hit him. This pro-
voked several shots from the camp Of
the hostile Cheyennes, causing great con-
sternation. The hostile Indians, men, women
and children, numbering 1000, fed to the
Sand Hills The friendly Indians stood true.
Capt. Rafferty,, in command Of sixty cavalry
men, was sent in pursuit Of the fugitives.
He was reinforced by Gen. Neill with
three companies. Owing to the depth
OF the sand, the troops had TO dismount
and charge on foot. The indians held their
position in the hills until night and then re-
treated under cover Of darkness. The troops
were repulsed three times, with loss of six
mortally and ten slightly wounded. Gen.
Pope at once started all the available troops
from Hayes, Dodge and North Fork canton
ments to intercept the fugitive Indians, who
are mostly unarmed. -

Of the apathy Of tho public. Wl,nt the INatbon

The people OF this country tako the most

and, if ever thoy BECOME Convinced that they
aro threatened by real danger, they will
arouso themselves, not to agitation, but to

people have faith that their system Of popu-

intolligcnce and liberalizing of tho masses
will save the schools against any danger from

be alarmed until there is good and tangible
cause for it. When that timo comes, they
will act rs promptly and forcibly as they did
