Sioux under Red Cloud. through their chiefs,
demand that the Sioux women now wounded
and captive be delivered to them to be taken
care of, for the reason that their male relatives
have all been killed by the troops. This Is re-

An Omaha special reports Gen. Crook as
saying that a blunder in a military sense was
In the failure of Capt. Vessels to barricade the
building In which the Cheyenues were fmprs-
Oned, so rs to make their escape impossible.
The Herald says the late mass ere became
necessary from the moment when the Chey-

was no necessity for permitting the attempt. Is
there to be no end to such butcheries?

saying that number Of insubordinate. cum

regard for the lives of our officers and soldiers
than IL they had been dogs. attempted to escape
from the custody of our troops, and used vio-
lence to carry out their rebelious act. They
were treated Just as they deserved and II is folly
