THE INDIAN CAMPAIGN.

REQUEST OF THE CHEYENNE SIOUX.

PEACE-RED CLOUD AND SPOTTED TAIL AGENCY
TURNED OVER TO THE ARMY
BY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-COmmissioner OF In
dian Affairs Smith received dispatch last eve
ming from the Indian agent at the Cheyenne
Agency, announcing that the Indians at that
place request the United States Government
to suspend hostile operations against Sitting Bull
and the Sioux with him for eight weeks. in order that
they the Cheyenne Sioux may visit the hostile ln-
dians and arrange for peace. Gen. Sherman Is
out OF town, and therefore has not seen this
dispatch. but it Is not at all probable that the
request will be granted. The report published week
that the Indians the Red Cloud and Spotted Tall
agencies had been turned to the military author
ities for IL literally true The Commissioner
OF Indian Affairs found it desirable to the agents
those points account their unftncsS to perform
the duties dcyuying upon them, and as was thought
wise not to delay these removals until other agents
could be selected the War Department requested to
detail military officer to each to receive and take tenn
poraTy charge OF the property Of the United States and
perform the duties Of Indian agents until the vacancies
could be nllctl. Meanwhile the Protestant Episcopal
Church has been requested To select agents and rs
they have done 40 and the nominations ap-
proved by the President the army officers will De

been directed to assist the military authorities in arrest
