LATER.
The CaAzy Redskins.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.--The war de-
partmcnt has authorized the number Of
Indians scouts in the DEPARTMENT. of the
Dakota to be increased to 500 men.
They will be selected from among the
Indian police and other disciplined In
dians in the department. The law linn
its the number Of Indian scouts to 1000,
and the result of this order will be to
place most of them at the seat of threat
ened trouble. The latest reports from
Pine Ridge, Neb., are to the effect that
the trouble up there has passed its
most serious phase. Many Of the least
frcnzied Of dancers have ceased their
orgeries and only the most vigorous
persist in the exercise. They still
dance with arms in hands or close by.
Specials to the Bismarck Tribune
from Standing Rock agency are to this
effect: to-day, the ed, was ration day at
the agency, and all but about fifteen or
twenty Of the male Indians accredited
to the reservation were present to re-
ceive their share of Uncle Sans good
things. The squaws to about that
number came alone, but were refused
rations unless accompanied by the other
half OF the household. The kilograms
say that the Indians are all quiet, and
accept rations as usual.
A scout named William McGaa ar
riSed at Pine Ridge agency on the 23d,
and claims that he overheard some In
dians talking of scheme to entrap the
soldiers. 1t is where the White Horse
creek empties into the Wounded Knee,
and lies in something of an amphithea-
tre shape. The only practical way Of
leading to the spot is by road that
follows along the bank of White Horse
creek. Upon either side of this road
aud creek are dense clumps of trees, SO
many as to almost form wall on either
side OF the approach. The plot is to
have ghost dance in this amphithea-
tre, and have the woods on either side
OF the road full Of Indians, when the
military comes up to stop the dance,
and they would be easily shot down by
tho Indians in ambush on either side.
THE King of Holland, William III,
died on the card. For many weeks he
has been insane. He ascended the
throne in lS49, and was 73 years old at
his death. He leaves one child a
daughter about ten years of age. The
cause of his death was softening Of the
brain.
