Hudson Bay companys, have been
burned; also the government buildings.
The Stony Indians, on Stony reserve,
nearest to Battleford, had been cuiet
up to yesterday morning, whom hey
went upon the war path. Their rising
makes the situation very critical. Col

and intercept the advance of Herself

tween BGttleiord and Edmonton are
likely to join those at Battleford. The
wires are still broken between Battle

and he is quite certain another engage
ment has occurred or will soon
take place. Fischer, another of
Riel's captives, lost the contents
Of his store at Baterche crossing. He
says that Riel is being Joined by the
Indians, who are flocking to him. A
family named Howell, from Duck Lake,
arrived at Quappelle this morning, hav-
ing broken through the rebel limos and
made aroad acrOys the prairie. They re-
port that the rebels refuse TO let the mail
goOut,and threaten to shoot the carriers.
