EASTERN DISPATCHES.
CHICAGO, March 25.-The following
telegram was received at General Sheri-
dams Headquarters this morning: Fort
Reno, March pa cut loose from the
wagon train on the 18th instant. secuted
Tongue and Rosebud rivers until salts
ned there were no Indians upon them,
then struck across the country towards
Powder river. General Reynolds, with
part OF his command, was pushed for
ward on the trail leading to the village
OF Crazy Horse, near the mouth of the
Little Powder river. This he attacked
and destroyed on the 18th, finding in it
a perfect magazine of ammunition, war
material and general supplies. Crazy
Horse had with him the Northern Chey-
ennes and some of the Minnecongoes,
probably in all one half of the Indians of
the reservation. Every evidence was
found to prove that these Indians are in
copartnership with those at the Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies and
that the proceeds of their raids upon the
settlements had been taken to these
agencies and supplies brought out in re-
turn. In this connection I would again
urgently recommend the immediate
transfer of the Indians of these agencies
to the Missouri. am satisfied if Sitting
Bull is on this side of the Yellowstone
that he is camped at the mouth O.!
Powder river. We had terribly severe
weather during our absence from the
wagon trains, it showed every day but
one and the mercurial thermometer on
several occasions failed to register.

PHILADELPHIA, March 25.-Yesterday

posed entirely of works of art for the

WASHINGTON, D. G. March 25.-Mrs.
G. P. Marsh accompanied by her h US
band were before the House Sub-Judi-

War Department. The latter Committee

McCook appeared and explained his
former testimony about house having
been presented to General Reynolds by
the army contractors, at San Antonio.
He had no personal feeling in the matter,
having always liked General Reynolds,
but his report as inspector of military
posts IN Texas, was made in order that
the Quartermaster's Department in Texas
might be investigated, there having been
serious charges as to its conduct of af-
fairs. In bis former testimony bs said
there was meeting of citizens at San
Antonio to raise 1926, 900 and it was sup
posed that such contributions would
bring headquarters there, but be did not
know whether the money was raised.
Jno. II. Charles testified that he supplied
goods to Durfee & Peck. When that firm
was removed from the post he applied
for it, hut failed to obtain a license a.
Indian trader. 70 save his interest, he
called on President Grant to help him
out, but the President had fixed the
thing and was not going to change it.
The President in making this reply, bit
of the end Of his cigar as if he didn't
like the witness a bit (laughter). Wit
ness called on the Commissioners o { In
dian Affairs about the revocation OF his
license, wishing to have it under the
law. The commissioners said, you I'M
