The reports published in the Times re-
gsrding the hostile intention Of Sitting
Bulls Indians are confirmed by official ad:
vices received at military headquarters in
this city. Gen. Terry telegraphs Gen
Sheridan that Col. Miles is preparing to
leave Fort Keogh with an expedition Of 6OC
mounted soldiers. These troops will be
equipped for a campaign of several months
duration. The expedition will be compos.
ed of portions of the 5th infantry and I'd
cavalry. Col. Miles is ordered to put his
command north of the Missouri, and to
pursue and punish any Indians who may
have crossed the line from the British side.
If any of Sitting Bulls people do venture
upon a raid Of the Yellowstone region a
warm reception awaits them at the hands
of the gallant Miles.
