 tiles From Surrendering.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-The following has been received at General Sheridan s headquarters :: ST. PAUL, Aug. 21. The following, dated Fort Keogh, Aug. 20, has just been received: By subse- quent telegram from Indian Inspector Pol lock. dated Buford 19, the indications are not so favorable. He reports that the Unca- papas, Sitting Bulls tribe, prevented a large number of hostile Indians from crossing the Missouri to come and surrender, and that the number actually en route to surrender under Big Road or Broad Trail aremuch less than first reported ''Rain in the Face' and forty Indians are still at the agency and are silent and sullen.
