WINNIPEG, Man, May IL The telegraph
line was repaired this afternoon, and some
furtt er tidings of the fighting at Batoche
have come through. A II dispa sches indicate
that up to last night the contest WAS con-
fined 10 an artillery fire on the insurgants'
stronghold. Tine casualty roll up To this
morning included two men killed aud fifteen
wounded Dispatches to military head
quarters and to Commissioner Wriggley
here, are to the effect that fighting is still
going on to day and that General Middleton
is an xious for moro troops. AdvicsS toni ght
state that eight companies of volunteers and
the Infantry School Corps have baen ordered
up from New Brunswick. and the Prince of
wales Rifles from Montreal. Another
On'ariot battalion is already on the way.
This is taken to mean that the Government
has more alarming news than hss yet been
made public, ss no one here can see any
great necessity for bringing up more troops.
1t may be that the Government has onca
more got into unnecessary panic. At all
events General Middleton evidently is not
prepared to storm tho half breeds stronghold,
and intends to sarve them out or await re
Inducements. How long either of these
plans may last there is no means of KNOWN :,
