ST. LOUIS, December 26-The latest from
the Indian Territory says that the Chieotee
party in the fight Sunday last had seven
men killed. 1t is thought that the Spiochee
band lost as many more. Spiochee and his
party have gone into the Cherokee Nation,
but he is expected 10 return again and keep
up the disturbance. Reinforcements are has
tening TO Okmulgee to protect the capitol.
Capt. Bate, with a detachment of United
States, is also there, and soldiers have been
ordered to Eufaula, where there is good
deal OF excitement, and many of the women
and children have been sent away for safety.
The troubles grew out of the old political
divisions of the tribe into what is known as
the loyal and disloyal parties during the
war. Spiochee lie now at the head of The
loyal party, or what has been known as the
Sands faction, and Chicotee is the principal
chief of the nation, and, OF course, at the
head OF the party in power. He has some
800 armed men under him, and Spiochee is
said to be nearly as strong. Both parties are
armed with all sorts of weapons, and seem
to be in an ugly mood, but it is thought that
the United States soldiers and Maj. Tufts,
the United States agent, Will succeed in
quieting them and restoring order.
