Standing Rock Agency.

NEW YORK, september b.-Bsmarck dis
patches say: When Captain johnson took
charge Of Standing Rock Agency, after the
suspension of the agent by General Car
lin, he had q council with the chiefs and
leading men, in all numbering about 100.
The council was q stormy one, and loud and
impatient talk was INDUCED in on the part
of the Indians. and each strong expression
made against the whites or in defiance of
the troops, was received with loud grunts
of approval and show, how" the Indian

considered friendly to the whites.
Captain johnson, in q short addre ss, in
formed the Indians that the Great Father
had appointed him their agent to look after
them and take care of them. He hoped
they would get along we'll together. He
would see that they received all that the
Great Father sent them. but that he should
issue rati0ns or goods only to those Indians
actually at the agency to receive them, and
that in order to do SO correctly he should in
q few days send some one to their camp to
count them. They would be required to give
up all the Indians that came in from the
hostiles who must give up their arms and be-
corQe prisoners. He desired that all those
Indians on the west side of the river
should move up near the post, where they

insinuated that the agent had been in the
habit of letting them go about as far as
they pleased, but now they were obliged to
give up and be treated as slaves, and in
tlmated pretty plainly that they should
continue doing as they had in the past
that is, as they pleased.
Whether they will continue to assume
this attitude the future will decide. There
is sufficient force to quell any outbreak the
Indians may make, with prospect of three
additional companies soon. The only
trouble would arise from lack Of mounted
force.
Three companies Of the Eleventh In
fantry are now en- route to the agency,
making the garrison nine companies in all
One great cause of the trouble at Stand
ing Rock is the fact that the Indians have
been short of supplies every winter and ap.
preparations were go delayed this summer
that they became absolutely destitute, and
an Indian to be good must have full
stomach.
Secretary Chandler has concluded not to
appoint A. Gust, vice Burke suspended at
Standing Rock Agency, but allow the mill
tary to remain in charge.
