ciHc Railroad.
OMAHA, July IL.
kilograms received here yesterday
are to the effect that the Indians are
moving OH Medicine Bow, a station OF
the Union Pacific Railroad, almost due
south of Fort Fetteruian, it is supposed
for the purpose OF capturing or destroy.
ing the supplies which have been
stored there recently III great quanti-
Ties by the Government, there being
90, 900 rounds of ammunition among
other things. A small force of Indians
could seize and destroy these stores, as
Medicine Bow is a small station and
the country round about is sparsrly
settled. Their destruction at this time
would seriously impede military oper-
atoms against the Indians. News has
also been received here that many In
dams are leaving the Spotted Tail and
Red Cloud agencies for the purpose of
joining Sitting Ball, and that Colonel
Merritt, now at Fort Laramie. has
been directed by General Sheridan TO
intercept them at once, at all hazards.

General Sheridan has forwarded the
following dispatches to Sherman: IL
had already ordered General Merritt
tn Join General Crook, but he will be
delayed a few days in attempting TO in
tercept the Indians who have left the
Red Cloud agency. / would suggest
to Crook to unite with Terry and at
tack and chase the Indians, but l am
so far away that / will have to leave
them as | have done.
CAMP ON GOOSE CREEK, Wyoming
Territory July 10,
via FETrERMAN, July 10.
NV last information from the Red
Cloud agency was that the Cheyennes
had left there To reinforce the enemy
in my front. AS this takes away all
disturbing elements from that section
/ have arailed myself OF the Lieuten-
ant Generals permission and or Tered
eight companies Of the Fifth Cavalry
| under Col. Merritt to join me at this
| point. The best information which wa
can get from the front Is that the Sioux
have three fighting men 10 my me.
! Although | have no doubt Of my abili
~ to whip them with my present
| force, the victory would likely he one
barren OF results, aud SO l have
thought better To defer the attack until
| can get the Fifth here. and then end
the campaign with n crushing blow.
The hostile Indians are, according to
my advlces, catnped on Little Horn,
near the base OF the mountain, and
will probably remain there until my
rai- f~nrcaulantS emma I'M. raaoivad
a dispatch from General Terry this
morning asking me To cooperate. j
will do so to the best of my ability.
