MASSACRED BY INDIANS,

White Settlers at Frog Lake, Northwest
Territory, Killed by Indians-More Trou-
be Expected From the Same Source.
WINNIPEG, MAN, April 10.-Word has
just been received from Battleford of the
massacre of white settlers at Frog Lake,
northwest oil Fort Pitt. The following
Quinn, Indian Agent; John Delaney,
farm instructor; George A. Lantock and
wife; Father Taford and Father Lamar
shand, priests, and two other men whose
names are not learned. 1t is not known
what has become of the Cameron & Hud-
son Bay Company's agent. Word was
brought from Battleford yesterday by w.
Quinn, nephew of the Indian agent, who
escaped, that the wire between Battleford
and Clark's Crossing has been lying on
the ground and the circuit was estab.
lished for short time, allowing mes
sage to come through. 1t is stated in the
same message that Battleford is sur
rounded by a thousand Indians but no at
tack had been made on the barracks. In
dian Agent Rea has not been killed as re.
ported. A Hudson Bay officer has
just received intelligence by way of Ed
monitor aud Calgary, that the Saddle
Lake Indians have raided the Government
warehouse at that point, and gone to join
the rebels. They have also received
cipher message from Prince Albert, dated
March 3lst, which states that the country
is being secured for provisions, and ask.
ing for supplies. The dispatch states that
all the Indians are quiet, except the Sioux
and fifty Crees, who had Joined
the rebels. The Indians on Frog Lake
Reserve are all Crees, and number about
hnnAran rThnrn Coil
Ollie school for Indian children at Frog
Lake, which was in a prosperous con-
dition last summer. That this massacre
has been the work of Frog Indians alone
does not seem probable, as they have
hitherto been quiet and we'll behaved.
1t will be remembered that as late as
the end of last December Big Bear, with
his band of one hundred South Crees was
at Fort Pitt agency stirring up the local
tribes. 1t is not improbable that he may
be the leader in the uprising in that To-
cality,

A NEW LEASE,
General Grants Condition So Much Inn
proved That He May Live Couple of
Weeks Longer.

General Grants Condition So Much I'm
proved That He May Live Couple of
Weeks Longer.
NEW YORK, April 10.-General Grant
became SO well yesterday that all of the
doctors withdrew from the house for a
time and left him for the first time in
many days in the sole care of his family.
The bracing weather had good effect on
the General. A gentleman who knows as
much as any one of the medical aspect of
the case said last night:
est will surprise General Grants physi-
clans very much if he dies within week.
The chances are that he will live two
weeks longer. OF course some unfore-
seen accident such as sudden failure of
the heart may occur and upset my pro-
phesy; but with that exception, l think
you will find am correct. Blood pois-
oning is to be feared, and the physicians
are now exerting their energies to pre-
vent this, and will probably do SO.
The tidings of the Generals improved
condition has had one good effect. 1t
has relieved the street from the annoying
crowds and left it to the policemen and
reporters. Only occasionally curious
pedestrian will find his way to the front
of the house. This is a great relief to
the family, for whenever any of them
went out they were surrounded by q
crowd of curious people.
