INDIAN NEWS.

band was now on the way tneHe. twenty
lodges had already arrived. Crazy Horse
has sent word to Captain Egan that he
would see him, shake hands, and make
treaty and be friendly.
The Indians lately arrived won't talk
about the fight. They pretend to know
nothing about it.
A council was held at Cheyenne Camp
while the courier was detained there, TO
talk over the change from civil to military
Many oppose it. Red Cloud
has expressed satisfaction at the change.
Fears are entertained that any attempt to
deprive the Indians Of their ponies and
arms will be met with resistance, as they
can muster large force, we'll armed, while
the number of troops at the post is very
small 1t Is thought they will allow them
selves to be murdered without opposition.
CHEYENNE, Wv, July 29-Previous re-
ports via the Missouri River Agencies are,
in part, confirmed by the news received at
Fort Laramie, from Red Cloud, to-day.
Numbers have arrived at that Agency, said
to have come from Crazy Horses band OF
Minneconyons, and stating that the chief,
with portion Of his band, had left Sitting
Bulls domain, and are en- route to the agen-
cies, avowedly to treat for peace
The turning over of the Agencies at Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail has not been with
out difficulty. While the majority Of the
Indians are disposed to submit gracefully
thereto, quite a number express dissatisiac'
ton at having soldiers placed over them.
and a final council is being held at Red
Cloud to-day.
Some dissatisfaction is felt BY the Indi-
ans at the meagre supply Of food which
consists entirely of corn, flour and beef
They insist on sugar, coffee and tobacco, in
fulfiIlment Of treaty stipulations, and far
ther attributing the departure from the
agencies of those who have Joined the hos
tile forces to this fact rather than a desire
for war.
Approximations of inability to carry out
the order to disarm all these Indians before
allowing them to return to The agency,
exists at camp Sheridan. Robinson's two
companies of Fifth Cavalry go to Sheridan,
increasing the force at that post to four
companies. At camp Robinson there are
only three companies, exclusive Of one Of
the Third Cavalry, at Sidney Crossing, not
tar distant.
The report made by John March, in for

II. Hubbard, who arrived here this evening,
having met Richardson and coach load
of passengers at Hat Creek on the 26th
inst.
