furtner word from GENERAL Brooke. but ne
thought the latter bad, beyond all doubt,
gwen the Indians 10 understand that he
is there for the purpose of protecting
lives and property, aud God help the first
Indian who makes break.
1T is not my intention,n said General
Miles, "to tolerate any nonsense. will
tell you further that SO far as regards
the present ample supply Of ammu-
milton and the best patterns Of
Winchester rifles with which the Indians
are armed, that somebody up in that
northwest country ismaking business Of
furnishing these, and II will not be many
days before shall know just how this
business is accomplished"
Assistant Adjutant General Corbin said
the removal of the Cheyennes from the
Pine Ridge agency, in accordance with
the recommendation Of the commission
has been ordered. The carrying out Of
the order now. he thinks, will remove a
disturbing element from Pine Ridge and
divert the attention OF other Indians.
This evening General Miles was in re.
ceipt of telegram from one OF his Of
flcers in advance OF the formal report.
The officer gives a sermon delivered by
Short Bull, the so-cvIled prophet Of the
Messiah, at the Rosebud agency, 10 the
Indians. In this sermon Short Bull said
things he predicted would have come to
pass in due season, but since the whites
are beginning 10 interfere the time will
be shorter. The Indians must not be
afraid of anything. "Now." said he,
"there will be tree sproui
up, and all members OF our tribes
must gather there. But before this time,
we must dance the balance Of this moon,
at the end OF which time the earth will
shiver very hard. Whenever this occurs,
will start the wind to blow. We will
then see our fathers, mothers and every
body. We, the Indians, are the ones who
are living a sacred life. Our Father
in heaven has placed a mark al
each point OF the four winds. A
clay pipe lies at the setting Of the
sun representing the Sioux. A holy ar
row at the north represents the Cbey'
ennes. At the rising of the sun there
lives a calf, representing the Arapahoe
tribe. AT the south there lies a pipe and
feather, representing the Grow tribe. My
Father has shown me these things. There
fore we must continue the dance. There
may be soldiers surrounding you, but pay
no attention 10 them. Continue the
dance. II the soldiers surround you foul
deep, three of you upon whom | have
put holy spirits will sing the song
have taught you and some OF the
soldiers will drop dead. Then
the rest will start to run. But their hope,
will sink into the earth. The riders will
Jump from their horses, but they will sinh
into the earth, and you can do what yor
desire with them. Now you must know
this, that all the soldiers and their race
will be dead. There will be only 5000 ol
them left living on the earth. My friends
and relations, this is straight and true
We must gather at Pass creek where ths
tree is sprou.ing; then we vii
90 among our dead relations
You must not take any earthl,
things with you. Men and women mus
disrobe themselves. My Father above
has told us TO do this thing. Guns are III,
only things we are afraid Of, but oui
Father will see they do US no harm. What
ever the white men may say do not lister
TO them"
Adjutant General Williams said thi,
evening that telegram had been re
ceived from General Brooke at Pin,
Ridge, saying that his scheme for Undue
ing disloyal Sioux TO abandon their trib,
aud join the loyals is working well, ant
he hopes soon 10 have the hostile Grove
broken up.

In an interview late tonight Genera
Miles, referring 10 General Williams

on the part OF the army TO prevent an out
break and even with that they may no
succeed. The great trouble Is the craz
