HISTORY OF THE REBELLION.
WINNIPEG, May ia dispatc h from
the front says the troops have crossed
the river and have proceeded through
Duck Lake and Carlton 10 Prince Al
bert. Rieps capture absorbs all other
questions about the camp. To Arm
strong, the man who captured him, Riel
said Lawrence Clarke, OF the Hudson
Bay Company, precipitated the upris-
ing. The half-breeds were celebrating
the feast OF st. Joseph when Clarke ar
rived from Winnipeg. He first
Knocked their religion and then told
them that 800 soldiers were
coming TO Join In the fes-
tivals and would give them all
they waited in tne way OF ceremony, II
they diu not 10 back 10 their homes and
abandon tnolr nonsense. Riel was alb
sent from patouune at the time, and on
his return found his people In arms, and
| uetermineu 70 plunuer the stores before
the troops mentioned by Clarke ar
rived. Riel denied that he was the
leader of the rebellion. He asserts his
lnnocense, and rays he can prove he
wanted TO 60 back TO the United states,
but would not be allowed 10 do so. He
expects TO be hanged, and devotes
the greater part of his time to fasting
and prayer. Among the rebol papers
captured nj Batouche are the minutes Of
the council, in which Albert Monkman,
who Is now held by US, was heavily i'm
plicated In the rebellion, taking prom
inent part in the meetings and having
command OF number OF men at Duck
Lake. He has been put in irons.
Among others held are Fisher, the rebel
nom Flshcock; La Montague,
the rebel musketry instructor;
jackson, Riels secretary and Dumont's
lieutenant. Two OF the rOurron
brother were killed at Batouche.
Father Tousmond estimates the rebel
losses at about 90 killed. Apout In
stands Of arms In all have been given
up.
NOT ooNrIRMED.
The reported engagement between
Col. Otters command and Poundmakoz
has not been confirmed, aud up 20 oas
o'clock to-day nothing had been re-
ceived tending 10 show that such 40. en-
gagomOnt had occurred.
