THE VETERANS,

Reunion of the Army of the Potomac at
EaItimorc-A. Turbulent Scene Over q
Resolution to Admit Ex~-Confederate
Soldiers to the Meetings-General Grant
Reelected Commander.
BALTIMORE, Md, May THE reunion
of the Society of the Army of the Potomac
here was largely attended. The eleven
corps participating organized and elected
officers in separate meetings. The business
meeting was held in Ford's Opera House
yesterday afternoon, the stage being set as
q camp, with a portrait of General Grant
hung in the center procenium arch. Many
distinguished men occupied seats OH the
stage. General Horatio c. King, who
acted as Chairman, said he had been
commissioned by General Grant to express
the lattcr's deep disappointment at being
unable to attend. General Vandervoort
said that the National Encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic would proba-
bly, be held in San Francisco, the California
Legislature having appropriated $25, 900 for
the entertainment of visitors. General
John G. Robinson then advanced on crutches
and moved that General Grant be reelected
commander by reclamation. The motion
was carried amid great enthusiasm, after
which other officers were chosen.
General w. Ii. Brown, of Washington,
suggested that as X. E. Lee camp, of Rich
mond, Va, was in the immediate neighbor-
hood, it would be both generous and grace
full to invite them to occupy seats on the
floor of the house and make the acquaint-
ancc. A motion to that effect was made and
seconded, when two or three men jumped
up and violently opposed such a pro-
ceeding, one Of them saying that rebels, no
matter how repentent, had no interest in
the business of Union soldiers, and that
their presence was an insult which he
could not endure. Nearly every man in
the house was instantly on his feet trying
to make himself heard, and for awhile there
was a scene Of wild confusion which
threatened to terminate in personal ell
counters. The Chairman vainly endeavored
to secure order, and threatened to call the
police. Quiet was finally restored, and a
committee was appointed to invite the ex-
Confederates to meet their old opponents
after the business meeting was concluded.
After the business meeting adjourned a
committee appointed to invite the ex-Con-
federates 10 seats on the floor made its APP
pearance followed by a long string of men

with great applause, and responded in an

Particulars of the Recent Battle Between
Colonel Offers Men and the Indians
The Fight u Most Disastrous One to
Poundmaker's Forces - One Hundred
Redskins Standardization Continues to
Advance.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba, May Further
details of the fight between Colonel Offers
column and Chief Poundmaker's braves i'll
dictate that the Indians were badly beaten
and that over a hundred of them were
killed. Colonel Otter started out to search
for Big Bear and endeayor to secure
the release of Factor Mclean and
the other whites who were taken
prisoners at Fort Pitt. The trail taken by
Colonel Otter ran through Chief Pound
makers reserve, and while the troops were
crossing the reserve the Indians set upon
them and began to fire at them. Otter at
once ordered his men to take refuge in the
bush, and from this intrenched position the
troops poured volley after voIiey into the
redskins, who were within close range of
the troops. The Indians, seeing their
comrades fall around them in scores,
and becoming dismayed at the
slaughter, soon FASTENED from the
field, leaving their dead and wounded
where they had fallen. After burning the
buildings OIL the reserve Otter returned at
once to Battleford with all haste. What
his reason was for not accomplishing the
mission on which he started has not been
explained. Colonel Otter is generally
blamed here for not securing the re-
lease of Factor Mclean and the
other prisoners before precipitating q
fight. There is but little doubt
that the captives will be murdered by the
indians il they have not already been
killed. The telegraph line to Battleford is
now in working order, but there is still an
absence OF details regarding the killed and
wounded. OF the thirteen wounded only
four arc likely to die, the remainder having
received only slight wounds.
The news of the battle has caused intense
feeling among the Indians throughout the
Territory, and a general rising among them
is looked for. The File Hill and other In
dams about Qu'Appelle left their reserves
yesterday, and began pillaging the house Of
settlers and appr0priating their goods.
The settlers are alarmed in consequence and
are fleeing to town for refuge. The Black
feet Indians are likely to join Poundmaker
at once, as Crowfoot, their chief, is a
relative of ~Pcundmaker and a strong ally
of his. A Medicine Hat telegram says that
the river has risen three feet during the last
three days, and there is no further difficulty
about transportation by water. News re-
cclved from Middleton to-day shows that he
began his march north yesterday morning
and a battle is expected to-day, as the
troops will be passing through the enemy's
fa%rrjtnry
