NEW YORK, July ia dispatch from

patch from Bismarck to- night says:-"There
is no truth whatever in the report OF mas

Those Indians In hostile camps are be-
lieved by good judges TO NUMBER at least
10000, and, while there are many women
and children, nearly all these are effective in
q campaign. There are certainly five To
seven thousand who can and will fight until
subdued. There is little uneasiness among
citizens east OF the Missouri river, though
they, as well as most military posts, are
without sufficient protection should the In
dams determine to raid the locality. Two
companies of regulars from forts alb 1ut New

via ST. Paul tomorrow morning, to rein
force Gen. Terry. Seventy one recruits from
Carlisle Barracks viii also leave to ga riSon
Fort Abraham Lincoln and relieve a portion
OF the 9Th cavalry. Gen. Sheridan saws the
troops Will probably reach Gen. Terry BY
the goth instant, and that a forward move
ment will then be made.

And evermore, as now,
Around his noble brow,

who took part In IL, say Gen. Caster shot
thee Indians with his pistol and killed three

had forcibly arrested some three years ago
for murder. The Indian loss was 80, among
