CHICAGO, Nov, 28.-Before starting for
Washington this afternoon General Miles
said to reporter The Indian situation is
grave and the necessity for vigorous
winter campaign is becoming more and
more apparent. We are probably face to
face with winter campaign. The hostile
Indians ought to be compelled to surren-
der, and they ought to be dismounted and
disarmed, and they will be. That is all
will say. Oh, I will add this They will
probably find themselves in . position in
the future so that they cannot SO easily
mount and arm as in the past. You may
look for winter campaign in the north
west. We have only 1900 mounted men

country 600 miles long. The infantry is
doing guard duty only. With this force
we hope to keep the peace until we get
ready to crush the uprising.
THE BEEF ISSUE.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 28.-A, special to
the Bee from Pine Ridge agency says: The
beef issue passed off yesterday without
any exciting feature. Only ninety steers
were turned loose Hawk Head and Big
Horse, reliable Indian policemen, have
reached the agency with the news that
their families had been stolen by band of
200 Indians that had deserted from Rose
bud few hours before, and had rushed
off to join the 300 other Indian deserters
who are now only fifteen miles northeast
of Pine Ridge agency. When Hawk Head
and Big Horse discovered their families
were missing they Immediately set out in
pursuit of the deserters in order to regain
their families. The deserters refused to
give up the families of the policemen. The
latter begged and entreated the deserters
to give them back their wives and chill
dren, but they only got curses and threats
of their lives. Before they got away from
the band the members of the latter said:
$50 and tell the soldiers at Pine Ridge
agency we are part of the 1900 other
Rosebud Indians now near Pine Ridge
agency, and that from now on we are 60
ing to kill every white person we meet
and if the soldiers come we are ready for
them"
It is predicted by the Bee correspondent
that within thirty six hours the troops
will be ordered to disarm or shoot down
the marauders, and when the troops dc
start after them the end will be no Custer
affair. The move will undoubtedly be
made under cover of darkness and by q
forced march the attack and finish will
both occur between the rising and the set
ing Of the moon. The scene of action
will be some fifteen or twenty miles north
east of the agency.
