a dispatch from winnipeg, April Sd, says:
The telegraph wire was cut last evening be-
tween Humboldt and Battleford, probably at
come point near Clarks Crossing, and moth
ing has been heard from Battleford for more
than twenty-four hours. There is an uneasy
feeling here as to the probable fate of the be-
sieged and an intense anxiety for troops to be
sent forward. General Middleton has decided
not to advance further than Fort Quappelle
until more troops come up. William Howie.
of High Ruff, Manitoba, who returned to that
place from the vicinity of the rebels, says:
Two weeks ago Wednesday, Riel, with gang
of about 400, declared war and started on
marauding expedition. The day before Riel
started he addressed large meeting of half
breeds in the Catholic church at Patoucees

and prepare for fight as it was evident justice
could be secured by other methods The
first unlawful acts committed by Riel were
breaking into settlement store kept
by George Kerr and the sacking of
store kept by Walters Il Bake-. On the oppo-
site side of the river in all cases the rebels
took what goods they found and then made
prisoners of the stOrekeepers. The object of
the rebels seemed to he to strike at the dOmin-
ion government. as they imprisoned all gov
eminent officials and clerks they could lay
hands on. Riel sent cOuriers up to Chief
Whttecap to have his band join them. He
said he was going to clean out the whole set
tiement at Prince Albert. They had fifty
prisoners locked up in the Catholic church
near PatrOuche's Crossing before Howie left.
HOWE said the rebel hafbreed followers have
150 repeating rifles, while the Indians are
armed with shotguns. As to the cannon pos
sessed by Riel, Howie states tracks of wheels
were found in several places. He is of the
opinion that cannon have been taken from
Fort Carlton. Gabrielle Dumont, and man
named Tarneau, are the chief men next to
