How 1t Should Be Done.

| ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 1L-General Crooks,
one of the heroes of the Minnesota Indian wars
| and judge of the military commission that con-
demned 300 Sioux to death, thirty-eight of whom
| were hanged at Mankato shortly after the mas
| sacre there, was interviewed by an Associated
Press reporter as to the outlook for general
| Indian uprising in the Northwest Territories
He says Middleton must achieve decisive vic
tory or all the Indians will have war-paint in
week. Should the half breeds achieve a sig
| nal victory over Middleton, the result could be
but most disastrous. He said the best plan of
attack, from this distance of observa tion would
be to weaken the works by shot, scatter the
half reeds by shell from the front and flank,
have Irvine fall in upon the rear with his 300
| mounted police, force the enemy into disorder,
mass them if possible. then rake them with gat-
lngs, rifles, and shot, and shell until disordered
then storm their works. This would, doubtless,
cost many thousand lives, as the enemy are
| neryy and fine shots, being trained hunters, but
the end to be attained is so desirable and neces-
sary that troops must be sacrificed otherwise the
whole country would be swept by savages, who
are liable to go on the war-path on the principle
of throwing their lives away, in which case they
would spare women or children. He added
that whatever grievances the half-breeds may
have when they incite merclIess sayages they
are entitled to no sympathy from Christian civil
ization.
In an interview with an Associated Press re-
porter, last night. John McLane of Bismarck,
OAK. who has justsreturned from Winnipeg,
where he had been delivering horses, teams and
supplies to the Canadian government, said: 1.-THE
government has advices that men from Chicago,
New York and Boston are with Riel, and that
master mind, not Riel's, is directing the move
ments of the half breeds. Old dinners regard
| General Middleton's success at Batouche as alb
| solutely necessary to prevent Che Indians from
uprising en- masse. Supplies are short. and
| about all come from this side of the line North
Dakota is now being drained of horses, OATS etc.
1t is believed there are about 1900 half-breeds
| in the field, with 5000 Indians ready to take the
war path, and but 1000 troops to oppose them. !"

he's been as much of a fifth wheel to a coach as
Vice presidents ever are. His recommendations

hostility of some of the Presidents advisers.

Journal had an account of the shooting of Ham
Galentine by Peter Arnett south of this city,
near the county line. Contrary to all expecta-
tons. Gallentine is recovering, but the excite
ment over the affair has led to the discovery of
greater crime A family named Langford which
bears an unsavory reputation, was connected in
some way with the trouble, and the wife of the
elder Langford had died about two weeks pre-
vious and was taken out of the neighborhood to
an obscure cemetry for burial In the general
talk, the woman who had been called in to dress
Mrs. Langford after death, stated that
one of the arms of the corpse was broken
and nearly rotted off, which the husband
said was caused by rheumatism. The woman
called in a male friend who saw the condition of
the arm, and it was also remembered that no
physician had been called to attend the woman
Other parties stated that some two or three
weeks previous. in passing the Langford house
after night, they had heard screams and cries of
murder. To-day Coroner Hart went down and
exhumed the body and found the arm as de-
scrihed, and also hole in the back of the skull
almost an inch in diameter, leaving little doubt
that the poor woman had been murdered Lang
ford has not yet been arrested and it is reported
that he has fled. Other startling developments
concerning the gang are expected.
