The Ind1an
War.
GEN. SHERIDAN TO TAKE CHARGE
OF THE FORCES.

New York, July "a. A Washington special
says Sherman has been able by udcious dstribu-
ton of troops on the seabord to draw enough men
to reinforce the army against the Indians and
volunteers will be wanted.
Sheridan reports everyth 'ng ready for active
campaign in few weeks, and it is believed he
will take the field himself lie will make his
headquarters at Goose Creek near the Rosebud.
The three columns operating against the In
dams will aggregate about 1000 men. Sherman
estimates the fighting strength Of the Sioux at
$500, and proposes to make the punishment such
as they never will forget.
Dispatches received by Sherman last evening,
state that Merritt will not reach Crook until Au-
gust LIST, when Terry will form a juncture with
them.
Low water in the Yellowstone river may delay
movements.
Washington, July "a. The Commissioner of In
dian Affairs on Saturday evening telegraphed to
the Indian agents at Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
ucies to turn over their charges to the military
'ticers at Camp Robinson and Camp Sheridan, re-
spoctively. This is done to have perfect harmony
between the military and civil officers near the
agencies, and prevent any possible controversy
A prominent cfficial on General Sherman's staff
says this morning that General Sheridan will
shortly leave for the Indian country to take per-
sonal command of the expedition against the Sioux
and is determined to give them such lesson as
they never got before. Additional reuforcements
are to strengthen the campaign against the In-
dams to secure its speedy end.
