[Ry telegraph to the New York Herala.l
Washington. Aug. 90, ls77.-Telegraphic
dispatches were received here late this after.
noon at the war department, from General
Miles, stating that Sitting Bull, with his
bands, had crossed the border into Ameri-
can territory near Fort Benton, under per-.
%suasion of the Canadian authorities.
Secretary Schurz says that he regards this
as a settlement for the present of the pro.
ceedings of the commission which was
about to start out. The news confirms the
shrewdness of General Terry's judgment,
as expressed in Chicago the other day, that
Sitting Bull and his forces were somewhere
south of the Canadian lines.
ARRIVAL. OF GENERAL TERRY.
Brigadier General A. Fl. Terry, comman-
ding the department of the Platte, who has
been designated a. a member of the Sitting
Bull commission, has arrived here and this
morning had a consultation with the Sec
retaries of war and interior. He brought
information to the effect that Sitting Bull,
with 1900 warriors, Is in camp on this side
of the British line. All further proceedings
in regard to selecting a commission to ar.
range for his return to the United States
have been suspended. for the present. Cen
eral Terry will remain here several days to
consult With the secretary ofwar as to what
pains shall be adopted in regard to the Sioux
chief.
GENERAL EFFORT SITTING BULL.
NEAR o B BELKNAP
In addition to the information brought by
General Terry, the government was to-day
informed by telegram from General Miles
of the crossing of Milk river by Sitting Bull 4,
and the encsmpment of that celebrated chief
at q point somewhere between the Milk and
Missouri rivers, in the neighborhood Of
what are known IS the Little Rocky noun.
tains ; and it is thought here, from the ad.
vices received, about fifty miles southeas,
Of Fort Belknap. The reports Of this
change Of base on the part Of the In
dian warrior are the occasion of consider
able comment and speculation in official and
other quarters. His presence in United
States territory again, with a large force
is = subject which will cause additional
action of the war department in dealing
with the Indian problem. The impression
is that tomorrow. or very soon after, some
other advices will be received by the gov
eminent as to the movements Of this par
of the Sioux warrors.
