How MANY INDIANS ARE IN THIS WAR.
Father Mesplie, who is well posted on the
indian trt bes, gives the following estimate
OF their numbers: He puts the Sioux down at
$4,000; the Crows at 10 900; Blackfeet, 20, 900:
are the Brule, OgaIalIa, Minnecon lou. Yanc-
tonnais, Uncpapa, Two Kettles, San Acres,
and Santoo bands. Some of the Crows, and
some others who live around the reservation
are friendly, but many who pretend friend
ship will gather arms and ammunition for
their tribes. He says they are in strong alli-
ance with each other to carry on this war,
to fight they fight each other; but now they
are united against what they consider a
common enemy, and will turn out all their
warriors, and they will number at least
$4,000, and the Father says IL is likely 10 be
the most formidable and bloody Indian war
in the history OF our government. They are
