GENERAL NEWS,

AA' I'm hhoosiAS otICy CliIIC ItllldIlSs lHlDIlS-
once here since last October, having been
Informed by the commanding officer a few
days ago that they were to be taken to their
agency i'll the Indian territory determined
to die rather than consent TO such move
ment. Since the information was impaired
to them they have repeatedly expressed a
determination to die before consenting to
such movement. They have become very
stubborn for the past few days, and fearing
an attempt to escape, the post commander
placed a strong guard over their prison
room last night. About eleven O'Clock,
while nearly every one was in bed except
the eyerwatchful guard, the savages jump
ed through the windows of the prison room
and made for the cold prairie, which is
thickly coated with frozen snow. They
fired on the guard with reyolvers they had
concealed since their capture, dangerously
wounding four of the guard, of whom one
has died and another is not expected to sur
vive till day. The main guard rushed out
of the guard house upon hearing the firing,
and upon ascertaining the cause and seeing
the fleeing hostiles running for the bluffs,
immediately followed, and opening fire, shot
and killed over forty savages. Over 100
cavalrynlen, mounted and dismo united, are
still in pursuit of the fleeing sayages. The
sharp bang OF the carbine in the hands of
eur men can.be heard from the hills, three
miles distant, which the savages nave evil
IDENTIFY made for. 1t is thought that none of
them will escape. Further particulars soon.
LONDON, January ia correspondent
at Berlin says OF the proposed bill affecting
the Reichstag: tt practically abolishes all
freedom of speech in debate. 1t is in the
power OF the majority to turn any offending
member Of the body over to the courts. It
makes it a penal offense for the press to
publish ANY speech.that has beer censured
by the president. The bill was wholly un-
expected and seems to alarm even the ma
tional liberals. bu they will probably rec
oncile themselves to- it before it to a
vote.
Franz bunker, ex~nember of the Ger

18th of August, craicising the antisocialist

sion, upon the clearing upeof which which
will probably depend the continuation of
his journey.
