dead. Then the rest will start to run,
but their horses will sink into the earth.
The riders will jump from their horses,
but they will sink into the earth and
you can do what you desire with them.
Now you must know this, that all the
soldiers and that race will be dead.
There will be only five thousand Of them
left living on the earth. My friends and
relations, this is straight and true. We
must gather at Pass creek when the tree
is sprouting; then we will go among our
dead relations. You must not take any
earthly things with you. Men and
women must disrobe themselves. My
father above has told us to do these
things. Guns are the only things we are
afraid of, but our father will see that
they do no harm. Whatever the white
men may say, do not listen to them"
Gen. Brooke's Scheme working.
Acknowledgement Williams said this
evening a telegram had been received
from General Brooke at Pine Ridge,
saying his scheme for inducing the dis
loyal Sioux to abandon their tribe and
join the loyals, is working well, and he
hopes soon to have the hostile crowd
broken up. The reports of the officer in
charge at Rosebud agency, however, are
not SO encouraging. He telegraphs that
when the forces under his command
moved near the Indians camp today,
they retreated back fifteen miles, and
tonight are holding ghost dances and
working up such frenzy that some out
break may occur before tomorrow night.
Headquarters was also advised today
that Sitting Bull has been sending out
requests to all the Sioux Indians, even
in Canada, Indian Territory, and as far
west as Wyoming, to join his forces.
He is assisted by a large number OF In
dians who have been educated by the
government in the east.
Care and Prudence Necessary.
In an interview late tonight, General
Miles, referring to General Williams's
statement, outlined above. said it will
require care and prudence on the part
of the army to prevent an outbreak, and
even with that they may not succeed.
The great trouble is that the craze is so
widely spread and existing in so many
places widely separated. AS near as he
is able to learn, concerted understand
ing was arrived at by the Indians during
the summer that the first hostile shot
would be the signal for the assembling
and concentration of all disposed against
the whites.
The general would not talk about the
dispatch from Washington regarding a
general movement of troops, saying he
considered it bad policy to make such
movements known, as the news would
be in the Indian camps in twenty-four
hours.
Catfish and Buffalo.
MrNNEAPoLIs, Nov. 21.-The Tribune's
correspondent at Mandan, N. D., OBJ
tains information from the Sioux
agency, fiom two reliable sources, that
the chances are against an immediate
uprising, unless Sitting Bull makes up
his mind that it would pay. Sitting
Bull would be arrested and PUT in irons,
but the agent is afraid this would pre-
ciptate trouble. Agent Mclaughlin
has lost control of Bull and the other
leaders. At Bulls camp the dance
keeps up day and night. The Indians
with Sitting Bull do not welcome
hands with them. They say all the
and catfish in the spring.
Agent Mclaughlin sent some, Indian
police to arrest the refractory Indians,
and instead of obeying the orders, they
threw off their clothes and joined in the
dance They returned to the agency
without prisoner and offered no ex-
cuse.
Sitting BULBS Logic.
Sitting Bull is jealous of the increase
of cattle Oh the Cannon Ball river, be-
longing to the white settlers. He
teaches his followers that if raid is
made on the settlers and they are
killed, the Indians can surrender to the
soldiers and be forgiven. Then because
of the fate OF the former settlers,
no new ones will come there.
The Indians who have accumulated
property are opposed to the proposed
uprising. The young bucks who have
nothing and the older ones who are lazy,
led by Sitting Bull, are causing the
trouble.
Settlers Seeking Safety.
ABERDEEN, s. d., Nov. 2l.-Advices
from Otreka state that the settlers in
Emmons and Campbell counties are
flocking into that place on account of
a rumor that the Sioux will take the
warpath. La Grace, on the Missouri
is completely depopulated. 1t is re-
ported that two men have been shot
and scalped by the Indians in Campbell
county, but the report is not credited
here. The people are greatly excited
and are appealing to Governor Mellette
| for arms and ammunition.
Renegade Cheyennes.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 21.-Frank
| Gruard, government scout stationed
at Fort Mckinney, reports that rene
gade Sioux and Cheyennes are heading
for Utah from the Big Horn mountains,
distance OF 200 miles. The fleeing
reds will traverse several counties OF
Wyoming. Their plan doubtless is to
make stand against their pursuers in
the broken country. Governor Warren
at once wired General Brooke to protest
against the removal of the Fort McKin-
ney cavalry to Pine Ridge. Gruard in
Inmates that there is Imminent peril.
His information was secured from the
Utah Crows to whom runners brought
the news.
Waiting for Orders.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 21.--A special to
the Bee from Pine Ridge, reports affairs
temporarily quiet, though there is in
tense excitement. General Brooke is
anxiously awaiting instructions from the
department at Washington, due before
