General Miles says the End Is by no
Means immediately at hand.
CHICAGO, December 7th.-General Miles
said to-day Generals Ruger and Brooke
have been doing all they can to put the
small number of available troops in posi-
ton to be useful, and so far as possible
staying the threatened cyclone; yet the
eud of the Indian troubles is by no means
Immediately at hand. No other civilized
country on the face of the earth would
tolerate the many thousands of armed
savages scattered through the different
States and Territories. The people of Texas,
Western Kansas, Nebraska, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Utah,
Eastern Washington, Idaho, Arizona and
New Mexico, are seriously interested in
this subject. While the fire may be sup
pressed in one place, it will be still smol-
dering and liable to break out at other
places where least expected, under the
present system"
THE CONFERENCE AT PINE RIDGE.
OMAHA, December 7th-An Omaha Bee
Pine Ridge special abou, the conference be-
tween General Brooke and the hostile
chiefs yesterday, says: The chiefs present
were Turning Bear, Big Turkey, High
Pine, Big Bad Horse and Bull Dog. They
d
as were also their ponies.
General Brooke explained to them that
the Great Father wanted 10 tell them that
if they would come in near the agency,
where he General Brooke could see them
often, and not be compelled to depend
upon irresponsible rumors to learn what
they were doing, he would give them
plenty to eat and employ many of their
young men as scouts, etc. The soldiers. he
said, had not come to fight them, but to
protect the settlers and keep peace. As to
the feeling over the boundary line change
between Pine Ridge and Rosebud, all such
differences would be satisfactorily adjusted
after the Indians had shown a disposition
to come in as requested by the Great
Father. He suggested Wounded Knee as
a place that would be satisfactory.
The Indian chiefs listened intently, and
Turning Bear then spoke for them. The
effrontery displayed by the fellow was re-
markable. He said it would be q bad
thing for the Indians to come nearer the
agency, because there was no water or
grass for their horses. He could not under
stand how their young men could be en-
ployed as scouts if there was no enemy to
be watched. They might come in, but as
the old men and squaws have no horses,
they should want the Great Father 20 send

take all the beef and other things they had
there to the camp that might be agreed on.
General Brooke said all these things
would De considered after they had shown
q disposition to obey the instructions.
No reference was made on either side to
the depredations the hostiles had been
committing on the Governments herds, as
we'll as the settlers homes.
After the pow-wow, the chiefs were fed.
and, after the sGuaws at the agency had
performed dance for them, they returned
to their camp.
INDIANS TO BE DIsARMED.
CHICAGO, December 7-h.-Advicea from
the Indian country, received at army head.
quarters tonight, show that everything is
quiet. Several regiments are expected at
the Rosebud Agency and other stations in
the country tomorrow. There are already
nearly 5000 soldiers in that locality, under
command of General Brooke. 1t is the
general belief that when General Miles
reaches the Indian country his policy
will be to Immediately dlsarm every In
dian found with gun.
