W1NNIpEG, March 2G.-The detachment
of militia that started for the front last night
arrived at Qu'Appelle stotion about noon to-
day. They are quartered in the immigrant
shed where they will wait for the remainder
of the force. The latter are expected to leave
tomorrow afternoon under command of
Gen. Middleton. The reported cause of
hurrying last nights detachment forward
was fear of an Indian outbreak at Re-
gina and Broadview. Gov. Dewd-
nev went with the detachment
to Qu' Appelle and had a conference with
the Indians at Broadview. He reports that
the reserves and others are quiet, though de-
nlanding more supplies. Chief Piepot at
Fl. Qu' Appelle is reported as still restive.
Nothing has been heard directly from Col.
Irvine's troop since last night and some un-
easiness Is felt regarding their safety. Com
muuieation with Duck Lake and Prince AL
bert is still cut off, so that no word can be
received of the movements of the half
breeds. The Hudson Bay cOmpany's general
agent at Prince Albert, Mr.. Clarke,
has not been heard from and the
company are getting anxious as they feel
sure If there was any possible means OF send
ing message or any information Clarke
would send it. 1t is feared that any messen-
gers who NAV have been sent may have fallen
into the hands OF the rebels. A dispatch to
the Hudson Bay company from Edmonton
saws the French half-breed are holding secret
meetings, aud unless the troubles can be inn
mediately squelched general outbreak may
be expected. The half-breeds are
threatening. 4 dispatch from Qu' Ap-
pele says Maj. Crozier with 2l5
men at last accounts was strongly fortified
at Fort Carlton. 1t is thought his intention
is 10 await the arrival of Col. Irvine who
with 100 men left Humboldt at . o'clock in
the afternoon on the 23d and should arrive
at the south branch to-day. Runners from
Ricl's camps are ont in different Indian
bands influencing the chiefs to join Riel.
Prince Albert is entirely cut off from com
munication, twelve miles Of tele-
graph line being cut down and
guarded to prevent repairing. As yet there
are no reports Of blood being shed. Settlers
are somewhat excited, but feel sure the gov
erumcut will protect them. Dispatches from
various points along the railway state that
settlers are armiug aud organizing for de-
fcuse. Two companies, one of cavalry aud
one OF infantry, are already organized at
Calgary and anxious TO take the field. These
will be valuable as they are
largely frouticrsmen aud have their
homes and families to protect
The government has ordered all the teams it
can get for the West tomorrow, the balance
OF the Niuetieth regiment goes West to-
morrow with artillery. The government has
taken control of the wires and no informa-
ton can be had except such as the authorities
desire 20 20 out. Col. Carrie SAYS
Ricl has caused more trouble than has
yet been reported. Dewduey is objectionable
20 the people who cannot get their patents.
He was appointed by Mcdonald as Indian
agent and he is delrauding them. The ex-
element IS grcst here and growing intensely
hourly rs more new corners and troops are
moved forward. All Of the available men
are being drawn into the service. Mai. Gen.
Middleton will be here in the morning aud
30 at once TO the front with all the available
forces be can command.
