1000 Indian warriors is in the heart
of the Canadian Buffalo country,

in addition, $50 lodges of YanktOns,
$50 lodges of Uncapapas, 120 lodges
of Santees and 100 lodges of Assina-
bones, are making their way to Can

Nearly all the northern tribes are
believed to he ready for revolt, and
all can cross the Canadian border in
three days, and would number over
1000 warriors, exclusive of Sitting
Bulbs 900, and will join the latter
if thought polite. Sitting Bull is
amply supplied with ammunition
and the Others are rapidly procuring
it from the Canadians, and all the
Indians profess utter contempt for
TIE United States troops and Govern
ment. Sitting Bull told a Catholic
priest that he would never confer
with or have anything to with Amer
lean officers, as they were all liars.
