WASHINGTON, d. C., July s.
Another dispatch from Gen. Sheridan to
Gen. Sherman, says he notified Terry that
six companies of the Fifth InfanIry under
Gen. Miles will Immediately join him and,
also that he has Ie9uested Gen. Sherman
to send from the lake stations six compa-
nies of the Twentv-second Infantry to Join |
him.
Gen. Sheridan further says; 81 have al |
80 notified Gen Crook Of this fact, and that |
if he required any additional force than |
the five companies already sent him. l can
order eight companies under Gen. Merritt,
to join him. There is nothing to be re-
gretled but poor Clusters death, and the
officers and men with him. The column |
vas sufficiently strong to have handled the |
Indians ii Custer had waited for the juno |
tion. There is no cause for uneasiness, |
and we will soon give the Indians another
turn. / will be in Chicago by the first
train.
Gen. Sherman does not think the In
dians now number more than $500 or
5000, and must be greatly embarrassed by
their wounded"
