"A l.8 THE INDIAN WAR. III
Lefter from Gen. sheridan and Dispatch
z lf8 from GEN. Crook.
WxsHrNeroN, July 1.-THE following
dispatch was received to-day
CHICAGO, July 10, 1876.
Gen. W. T. Sherman, Washington:
The following dispatch, received late
last night, il transmitted for your in
formation. / had already ordered Gen.
Merritt to Join Gen. Crook, but he will
be detained few days in attempting to
intercept the Indians who have left the
Red Cloud Agency. / would suggest to
Crook to unite with Terry and attack
those Indians, but am 80 far away that
/ will have to leave them, as / have done
heretofore, to act on their best judg-
ment. z. II. SHERIDAN, Lieut.. Gen.
CAMP ON GOOSE CREEK,
Wyoming, July II, via Fetterman, 15. &
Col b. \; 2; Dunn. Assistant Adiutant General.
NY last information from the Red
Cloud Agency was that the Cheyennes
had lett there to reinforce the enemy on
my front. As this takes away all the
disturbing element from this position,
I,have availed myself OF the Lieutenant
Generals permission and ordered the
eight companies of the Fifth Cavalry
under Col. Merritt to join me at this
point. The best information I get of
the enemy In front Is that the Sioux have
three fighting men to my one. eltl
Although have no tdoubt OF my
ability to whip them with my present
force, the victory would be one barren
OF results; SO / have thought 1t better
to defer the attack until can get the |
Fifth here, and then end the campaign
with one crushing blow. The hostile
Indians are, according to my advices,
encamped on Little Horn, near the base
OF the mountains, and will probably re-
main there until my reinforcements
come up. / received dispatch from
Gen. Terry this morning asking me to
cooperate. will do so to the best OF |
my ability. GEO. Crook,
Brigadier General.

LONDON, July 17-In the House of |
Lords this evening the Earl OF Derby,
in reply to a question by the Earl Of |
Denbigh, Conservative, said: cannot
advise Parliament to abrogate the decla-
ration OF the treaty of Paris, that a neu-
trail flag protects an enemy's goods, ex-
cept contraband OF war. This declara-
ton has been in force for twenty years.
England has pressed it upon other gov
