A dispatch dated Camp Robinson,
April Is, says that on the 14,h instant "A
village of Sioux surrendered to Gen
Crook, at Spotted Tail Agency. The
village numbered about one thousand
persons, mainly San Sarco and Mime
conjpus, under Roman Nose and other
chiefs. They asked permission To APP
proach the Agency in the style com
monty used by them on entering a
friendly village, which was granted.
About 10 o'clock some 500 warriors
made a regular charge OF the Agency
from several directions, yelling and
firing guns in the air. AT IL o'clock
the main body OF Indians of the village
filed past the post and caInped on the
spot designated by the Agent. A. the
Indians OF the village approached
about 80 chiefs rode IN line into the
fort. advancing slowly up the parade
ground 10 the commanding officers
quarters, where they wheeled to the
left, TO face General Crook, to whom
they were presented by Spotted Tail.
The son of Lone Horn first rode for
ward, laid his gun on the ground, and
said: II lay down this gun in token
of submission to General Crook, to
whom | wish to surrender" The
chiefs all shook hands with General
Crook, then rode away ana put their
people ia camp. On the 10th instant a
council was held, in which the Indians
were notified of what would be re-
uuired of them by the Government.
They said their professions of peace
were sincere, which was fully credited
by all who saw them. They turned
over to the Agent l,430 ponies and
lnrxoo aud ulSn their artnG ha ant-
lection embraced many carbines of the
Custer massacre. They are believed
to have brought in many relics OF that
affair. General Crook has given or
ders to spare no pains to recover such
things. In the afternoon the peaceable
Indians gave the new corners a feast,
and we had an opportunity to witness
the famous Omaha dance.
Five hundred Cheyennes will pass
Hot Creek to night and are expected
here day after to- morrow. They noti-
fed General Crook some days ago of
their intention of sui rendering.

ALBANY, April IL.
Tweed's statement is pronounced a
sensational canard.
NEW YORK, April IL.
Wheeler II, Peckham, counsel for
the people against Tweed, says it is
true that Tweed made the SC called full
confession. 1t was taken to Albany
last night by Tow nsend. He says it
contains things he knows are correct
expressions, and says it is but a partial
revelation, and that a full confession
will even more sicken the public con-
science.
In his confession, Tweed say he
gave MIR. Hastings "A check for go. 600
after the passage of the charter of 1870,
with the understanding that it was to
go to Senator Woodin. Hastings, who
is editor of the Commercial Advertiser,
says the transaction was purely q busi-
ness affair, passing through the hands
OF his banker ~legiumately. He denies
that any money ever passed through
his hands to Senator Woodin for any
purpose. Great excitement prevails
among politicians over Tweed's con.
fession. Old ring members are hard
to find. Bixby denies that his broth
or, Senator Bixby, proposed immunity
to Tweed if lie would allow O'Brien's
claims To be paid. Recorder lackett
declines to say ANYTHING ahuut the
statement that nus paintings and book
cases were paid for by the city.
