The Manitoba Situation.
WINNIPEG, February 24th.-The Manitoba
situation grows daily more interesting. The
people, as q whole. have become thoroughly
aroused 60 the necessity of taking firm and
united stand sgainst the tyranny of the Otta-
wa Government. All civil aud constitutional
measures have failed to secure particle of
justice from them. They are now determined
to enforce a recognition of their rights by
decisive action. Premier Norqusy telegrsphs
that he has utterly failed TO influence the
Government towards redressing even the most
fragrant wrongs under which we suffer.
Though hitherto strong supporter of the
Government, he will stick to his native prov
ince. and fearlessly fight to free her from the
hand of her oppressor. He will arrive home
in few days, when important steps will at
once be taken. 1t is probable that he will
call the local Legislature together, and he
and his Ministers hand in their resignation
to the lieutensnt-G Governor. Msnitoba's
representatives in the Federal Parliament
will be recalled and the Dominion authority
ignored. The next step will be to form an
independent provisional government, which
shall take possession of the affairs of the
country and defy the Federal authorities to
interfere, Active preparation sre going on
for Convention on March 5.h.

nation, the Indians came swarming out and
furnishing their guns, refusing to allow the
police to enter. The Colonel commenced
qusrreling with the chief, but Yellow Calf
distinctly refused TO give up any of his men
or stolen provisions, saying they never would
surrender without struggle. The police
were then formed in line, but the last man
had not taken his position when suddenly the
doors and windows of the cabin were thrown
open and the openings fairly filed with rifles.
Owing to the great odds, and Indians having
protection in the cabins, Colonel Herschmer,
after short talk with Yellow Calf, with.
