WAsH1SGroN, D. G., Sept. 2.-'The following
dispatch has been received BY Gen. Sherman
from Gen. Sheridan III Chicago:
Col. Carlin has tclesrsphcd he was obliged to
suspend Agent Burke at Standing Rock, who, it is
believed, has had secret interview with Kill E.
qucntly issued $50 head OF cattle, most Of which
is believed to have gune to the hostile
camps. We do not want to do anything
which would be unpleasant in any way to the Sec
retary Of the Interior or Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs, but really think it won]d be best for all
concerned that army officers should perform the
duties of the Agencies uu,I this trouble is over.
iol. Carlin put capt Il. +. johnson in charge OF
3le Agency ct s1andlns Rock until L new agent ar

Gen. Sherman sent the following to Gen.
Sheridan:
The Secretary of War is back, and have also
says another agent has been appointed for Standing
Rock Agency, who will soon be there. but mean
time you may instruct Gen. C.ulin that he must
c.ntrol all issues from the Agency to Indians, anu
permit no issue. Of any kind he does not approve,
especially to Indians not actually present and
known to be friendly and faithful.
The most friendly feeling and hearty co-ope-
partn1ents on these points, AND whatever meas
lres may be thought best will he carried out
jointly by both Departments.
Edwin Ma1lett was appointed yesterday as
agent at Standing Rock, but as some difficulty
