Via Buford. Aug. 4, 1879. !
Ruggles, Assistant Adjutant General. st. Paul:
Dispatch OF July 81, containing the
order OF the President, received and /
take pleasure In reporting that the wishes
and directions OF the authorities have been
compiled with, and that the results are sat
isfaetory. Major Walsh, of the mounted
police, and Long Doe, OF the hostile cam o,
came to this command to-day. They state
that the whole hostile camp is moving north
and spreading out near some lakes about
eighty miles north of the line. They assure
Minneiton, Sioux, GallalIas, Sansacres and
few other tribes, estimated at between 5000
and 5000, had decided to remain on Canadian
soil, that they will make no hostile move

the raiding parties will return all the prop

the buffalo or disturb the game on this Iesery-
alton unless permitted under the surveillance
OF our officials; and that they are determined

for this season. It would be well to send the
river Crows and annuities to the Grow reser-

There are thirty lodges Of the upper Assini-
BONES, under petty chief named Makab,
who desire to join the lower Assiniboines,
as the lower Assinnebanes are in a more
prosperous condition. 1t would be better and
more economical to move the upper Assini-
BONES to that agency. | think it would be
well to have o small permanent supply camp
not far from Peck during the present autumn
and winter. In returning to my command,
would prefer to move the Keogh troops by
way Of Elk Prairie and the head of Red
Water, the Custer troops by the Mussel

Of that route for wagons. My command will
await orders near the mouth OF Little Rocky
creek. MILES, Commanding.

BISMARCK, d. T., Aug. 6-The latest re-
