NEW YORK, March 30.-General Gran
had but few callers during the afternoon
At 4:3O DR.. Douglass issued the following
bulletin: General Grant is free from pair
and has taken liquid food at regular inter.
walls and is as well as usual. He is not strong
and is showing more fullness of body" Mr.
Romero, the Mexican minister, called at
O'Clock and remained only few minutes
On leaving he said that no one excepting the
members men OF his family, his physicians and
Rev. Dr. Newman were now allowed to see
the general. In his opinion General Grant
was growing rapidly weaker and might live
week or only few hours.
At p. m. General Grant was very quiet.
HIS temperature and pulse were about nor
NAL. At this hour he was more silent than
usual. He gives the impression of being
weaker, but this is not indicated by his
pulse. He is unable to lie down and sits up
In an easy chair. Among the callers during
the evening were Senator Leland Stanford Of
California, Mr.. Howard Henderson and Mr.
burlington, counsel for "Buck" Grant in the
Fish Ward suit. Between and 9 o'clock
this evening the following message was sent
from General Grants residence:
Hon. Schuyler Crosby ,7aO street. Washington
MY father is suffering less than he was yesterday,
but is still very weak.
tSigne0 MRS. SARToR1s.
It is understood that to-day General Grant
expressed desire that General Adam Ba-
deau, who was his military secretary during
the latter part of the war and more recently
his literary assistant, should act as his liter
airy executor. At 10 o'clock the general was
apparently sleeping in his easy chair and did
not appear to be suffering any pain.
2 A. M.-At midnight General Grant was
said to be freer from pain and appeared bet
ter than at any time during the day. After
taking morphine he retired and at 1:30 ap-
peared to be resting easily but weak.
THE RIEL REBELLION GROWING.
Indians Fleck1ng to His Standard
The Militia in a Weak And Demo-
rallied Condition.
MONTREAL, March 30.-A dispatch from
Medicine Hut says the Indians are on the
warpath. Citizens waited upon Captain
Macdonald, applied for arms and reinforce
ments and determined to defend themselves.
Emigrant sheds have been barricaded and
children. Colonel Quinet, commanding the
Sixty-ffth, was called to Ottawa last evening.
This morning he telegraphed the officers in
command of the regiment to march out to-
morrow. The telegram says the govern
ment is in receipt of unfavorable news. The
rebellion is increasing The regiment is not
in fit condition to do any fighting. The
ranks are filed with the rawest
class of recruits who probably never fred q
gun. The crisis has developed the great
weakness in the militia, whose equipment is
inefficient. Mr.. Royl, who succeeded Riel as
member for Proyencher and who in fact is
an intimate friend of the rebel leader,
left for Ottawa to-day to interview
the government and offer his services
as intermediary. He says. the Department of
the Interior is to blame for the trouble and
that it was warned in October last that the
haf-breeds would rise as soon as favorable
opportunity offered unless their demands
received some kind of reception from the
government
WINNIPEG, March 3O.-A Quappelle des-
patch says it is reported that the Indians at
File Hill reserve have risen and killed Mich
oil, the instructor on the reserve. These
Indians number about three hundred. Three
companies of rifles and detachment OF bat
terry with one gun left this morning for Fort
Quappelle to protect the settlers. A general
advance will not be ordered until the troops
arrive from the east. Middleton will not
jeopardize his expedition by starting in his
present weak state.
A Battle Ford dispatch to the Times
just received reads as follows:
All the Indians in this district have gathered
at Poundmaker's reserve and are now, about
five hundred strong, encamped mile out of
town and threaten to attack the barracks. All
the settlers and their families are in the
barracks. Every man has been enrolled for
service. The Indians threaten to burn the
town. They are expected to come to a pow
WOW with the agent which may be made to
last day or two.
Later report from Battle Ford says the
Indians have captured every horse in the
place. The settlers escaped to the barracks
ard are awaiting an attack. The Indians are
we'll armed. A fight will occur before morn
ing The citizens of Winnipeg decided to-
night to form home guard. Two battalions
