NO IMMEDIATE UPRISING LOOKED FOR.
MINNEAPOLIS, November 21st.-The Tri-
bune'S correspondent at Mandan, n. D., has
information from the Sioux agency from
two reliable sources that the chances are
against an immediate uprising, unless Sit
ting Bull makes up his mind that it would
pay. Sitting Bull would be arrested and
put in irons, but the agent is afraid that
this would precipiiate trouble.
Agent Mclaughlin has lest control OF
Sitting Bull and other leaders. At Sitting
Bulls camp the dance keeps up day and
night. The Indians with Sitting Bull do
nos welcome even the friendly whites. and
will not shake hands with them. They
say all the white men will be turned into
buffaloes and catfish in the spring.
Agent Mclaughlin sent some Indian
police TO arrest the refractory Indians, but
instead of obeyIng the order they threw of
their clothes and Joined the dance. They
returned TO the agency without any prison.
ers and offered no excuse.
Sitting Bull is jealous of the increase of
cattle on Cannon Ball river belonging TO
the white settlers. He teaches his fol-
lowers that if u raid is made on the settlers
and they are killed, the Indians can sur
render 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 up
rising. The young bucks who have moth
ing, and the older ones who are lazy, and
Sitting Bull are causing the trouble.
AN APPEAL FOR ARMS.
ABERDEEN Is. d., November 21st.-Ad-
vices from 0treka state that the settlers in
Emmons and Campbell counties are flock
ing into that place on account of a rumor
that the Sioux will take the warpath. La
Grace, on the Missouri, is completely de-
populated. 1t is reported that two men
had been shot and scalped by Indians in
Campbell county, but it is not credited
here. The people are greatly excited, and
are appealing to Governor Mellette for
arms and ammunition.
DIscoURAGING NEWS FROM ROSEBUD.
CHICAGO, November 21st - Adiutant-
General Williams said this evening that a
telegram had been received from General
Brooke, at Pine Ridge, saying that mis-
scheme for inducing the disloyal Sioux TO
abandon their tribe is working well, and he
hopes soon TO have the hostile crowd broken
up.
The report of the officer in charge at the
Rosebud agency, however, is not so encour-
aging. He telegraphs that when the forces
under his command moved near the In
dlans' camp to day, they retrested back fif-
teen miles, and tonight are holding ghost
dances and working up such frenzy that
some outbreak msy occur before to- morrow
night
The headquarters was also advised to-day
that Sitting Bull has been sending out re-
quests to all the Sioux Indians, even in
Canada, Indian Territory and as far West as
Wyoming, to join his forces. He is assisted
by large number OF Indians who have
been educated by the Government in the
East.
THE DANCES MUST STOP.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY Is. D }, November
2lst.-The number of pickles has been
doubled. An Indian police force OF 100
men are on duty, and every soldier is in
structed 10 sleep on his arms. Five COM
panies of cavalry are now on the way here.
As soon as reinforcements arrive consulta-
ton will be forced with the belligerent
Indians.
If they refuse to stop dancing, they will
be arrested, and if they resist, force will be
employed. Vast numbers OF ghost dancers
from Rosebud have left the reservation and
are now moving rapidly towards this point.
About two-thirds of the 1,500 Indians at
this point are believed to be hostile.
CARE AND PRUDENCE REQUIRED.
CHICAGO, November 21st.-In an inter-
view late tonight General Miles, referring
TO General Williams statement, outlined
above, says it will require care and pru-
Gence on the part of the army to prevent
an outbreak, and even with that they may
not succeed. The great trouble is the craze
is so widely spread, existing in many places
widely separated.
AS near as he is able to learn, a con.
certed understanding has been arrived al
by the Indians during the summer that the
first hostile shot will be the signal for the
assembling and concentration of all dis.
posed against the whites.
The General did not talk of his dispatch
from Washington regarding the general
movement of the troops, saying he consid.
cred it bad policy to make such movements
known, as the news would be in the In
dian camps in twenty-four hours.
