Rebellion in Manitoba

Canada is in a state of excitement over
the rebellion in Manitoba
The agitator Riel, who. in 1870. over
turned the local government, ard with the
assistance OF a band of half-breeds estab-
lished at Fort Garry an independent
government which. at the end of some
months, was suppressed by troops from
Canada under command OF Colonel NOW
Lord Wolseley has again melted the half
breeds to insurrection. According to the
latest accounts he has fifteen hundred
men under arms, has driven the border
police from some of the northwestern
outposts. and is endeayoring to get the
Indians. of whom there are fifteen thou
sand IN saskatchewan country. to support
the movement. Already an engagement
lSreportedto have occurred near Duck Lake
between the lnSurrectionerS and detach-
ment of police and volunteers. in which
the latter were defeated, losing in killed
alone thirty of ther number. This news
created intense excitement throughout Can
ada, and troops from Ottawa. Montreal.
Kingston and other places are being pushed
forward to put down the Instruction.
Within Manitoba Itself volunteers are
armlng to 60 to the front. and there could
be no doubt that the rising of Rel and his
half-breeds would speedily be suppressed
if it were certain that the Indian tribes.
which have shown signs of disaffection,
would not join Rel in his resistance to
government. Thus far. with the excep-
tion perhaps of one band Of Indians, they
have kept aloof. But from the vigorous
measures taken by the Dominion govern
ment it is evident that they regard the
situation as very dangerous. and that a
heavy display of force is necessary if the
Indians disposed to join in the rebellion
are to be kept quiet. In 1870, when Fort
Garry government was suppressed, Riel
escaped across the border and took refuge
i'll Montana. If he is again defeated and
is able to eyade capture it is probable that
he will return to Montana, where he is
well known and has many acquaintances.
