General Brooke.
BISMARCK IN. Do December 1st Buffalo Bill
arrived tonight on his way East. He was on
his way TO Sitting Bulls camp, when a courier
overlook him with dispatches countermanding
his previous orders. II appears that the Interior
Department, acting under the advice of Agent
Mclaughlin, would not permit the arrest of
Sitting Bull. General Miles and Buffalo Bill
were of the opinion that his arrest would end
the agitation. Mclaughlin believes that the
present cold wave will stop the trouble. The
military is strong enough at sill points II is now
believed to protect the settlers, and the trouble
is believed 10 be over.
