THE HALF. BREED REBELLION.
An nAble Advocate of RieI and Followers.

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Previous to the
srrivsl at the National Capital of young
French Canadian surveyor named Defosse,
who came here from Manitoba, public
sentiment was decidedly against Louis Riel,
the leader of the Canadian hall breed rebell-
ion. Defosse has steadily advocated Reil's side
OF the case and claims that the rebellion is
jast me. He says many Irish-Americsns
have alrea5y extended substantial and prsc-
tica sid to the half f-breeds. and that the
Dominion will have ell it can do to suppress
the rebellion. In explaining the matter to
the Sentirel correspondent Defosss said:
''The trouble dates back to 1867, when Can
ada in forming the union OF the several prov
inces into the present dominion, took
possession of the vast terri
tory controlled by the Hudson
Bay Company. and thus absorbed a popula-
ton of eco half breeds and Indians. in
addition to about 10000 white oolonists.
The government did not give the Indians
any kind Of guarantee OF the integrity of
their property rights aud natural privileges,
bat sent military survey to divide up their
territory into townships. The military OIL
GERS comprising the survey acted IN such an
arbitrary manner that the whole country
soon rose In rebellion. Louis Reil, q young
and talented half breed. came to the fore
and led that rebellion, as he is
leading tie present one He de-
manded then, as he Is demanding
now the division of the Northwest territory
into province, that the hslfbreeds shall re-
| ceive the same grant IS the half breeds OF my
country (Msnitoba) have received. He de-
mands also that the colonisss in possession
be granted patents, and that 100000 acres of
land be sold for the establishment of schools,
} agricultural institutions, hospitals and TO
provide better treatment for hundreds Of
starving half breeos and Indians.
"LOuis Reii means business" continued
the SPEAKER. I'VE believe his cause is a Just
one. His starving brethren are urging him
by their cries for bread, and his dusky fol.
lowers are brave and thoroughly desperate"
