PUT BUCKS TO FLIGHT.

An Incident Showing the Strained Rela-
ttions Existing---Reds After Rations.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 25.-At Pine
Ridge Sunday night something of
scare was occasioned when the water
call was sounded. The cavalry had been
going to creek about half mile from
the post to water their horses. Along
this creek during the last twenty-fours
a village of ghost dancers tepees had
sprung up. The black troopers mounted
their horses with carbines loaded and
cartridge belts in place. Then, under
command of lieutenant instead of the
usual orderly sergeant, they slowly can
tered to the creek. After the horses had
drunk their fill the soldiers crossed into
the Indian village. a@a'7'
The Stampede That Followed
was almost instantaneous. Squaws and
papooses ran screaming into the tepees,
while the bucks hastily mounted their
ponies and fed to the hills. But the
troopers had only crossed in order to
turn and go back to camp. Nearly all
the Indians who draw rations here are
now encamped near the post. 1t may be
that this will settle the matter without
trouble, and it may bring on fight.
Special Agent Cooper thinks that any
pretext may be seized upon by the In
dams for forcing the issue. The dane
ing is dying out, but he is not sure
whether it is treaehery or obedience
that is causing the relaxation. A num-
Der of Rosebud Indians are here with
out passes, and their presence bodies no
good. All are unanimous in their asser-
tons of good will, but they are g -
Carefully Measuring the Strength
of the troops the while. Little Wound,
one of the leaders of the ghost dance has
refused to come into the agency, saying
that if the agent wanted to see him he
must call at Little Wounds tepee. A
squaw hanged herself Saturday night to
add to the excitement. At present it is
a toss up between peace and war.

is in receipt of 81 telegram from President
Bogran, of Honduras, in which the latter
admits that he has been forced by Sanchez
to evacuate the capital and temporarily set
up his government at Tamas, n small place
a few leagues from Tegucigalpha.
Il During the night Bogran, by fighting des-
perately with p small army, managed to
break the lines of Gen. Sanchez and escape
from the Camayagsela Ward of Teguci-

hedged in. Many were killed and wounded
on both sides.
Ezeta publicly announced on receipt of
the first news of the revolution that 1t was
the principle of Salvador to remain entirely
neutral, and moreover not to permit any
other Central American country to meddle
in the internal dissensi0ns of its sister re-
republic.
This same stand has been also taken by
Nicaragua and Costa RIGA. 1t is believed
