ner, a Cheyenne Indian. who arrived at
Haskell institute from the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservation in the Indian
Territory, says the Messiah craze has
taken hold CT the Indians down there
and that they are arming themselves
and becoming very restless. A Sioux
Indian. acting as missionary, has
come from the North to teach the new
religion TO the Southern tribes. He
breaches to them that any one who does
not believe in the new religion will be
destroyed, and in this manner he
SO works upon the Imagination of
these people that they fall PROSTATE to
the ground. and while lying there the
missionary pretends to cast some spell
on them, and when they rise they de-
clare they have seen the new Christ.
and at once join in the ghost dance,
which they keep up until exhausted.
This new religion has also spread to the
KiOwas, COmanches and Apaches, whose
reservation adjoins the Cheyennes and
Arapahoes on the south, and different
tribes all join i'll holding the ghost
dances, and are rapidly becoming more
restless and desperate as the time for

SPECIAL tn he Globe.
STANDING Rock AGENCY, Nov. 25.-
The two Indian scouts sent out Satur-
day night bv Col. Drum, commanding
Fort Yates, with instructions to Scour
the country between here and Sitting
Bulls camp and ascertain if any In
dianS were on the warpath and the state
of affairs at Sitting Bulls camp, re-
turned last evening and report having
seen no Indians on the warpath. They
went to Bulls camp on Grand river.
Being known to Bull as military scouts,
they were at once suspected as spies
and were treated very haTshly by Bull
and others. Bull asked them their busi-
ness out there. They said they were
after two deSerterS from the post. which
Bull knew to be untrue. Bull told them
he understood there were 1000 soldiers
coming to Yates to take him and his
property. but said he: Il bave run
ners coming and going every day
and know everything that is
going OH there, and as soon as these
soldiers come | will take my family and
ponies. and those that will follow me
and leave here, and they will not get
me-" Continuing, he said to the scouts:
You see we have abandoned the white
mems houses and are living in our ma
tive tepccs. and will not return to the
houses h0r to the agency" The sup
position here is that if Bull hears of any
serious trouble at the lower agency, or
if the military attempt to take him he
will at once break camp on the Grand
river, and join the hostileS at the lower
agencies, thereby declaring war against
the government. Bulls son-in-law was
in yesterday, and when questioned as
to whether or not Bull was coming in,
said: NO, he is never coming until the
military overpower him and made him.
Hopes are yet entertained that all will
pass off quietly, and that cold weather
will put a stop to all this nonsense. A
howling Dakota blizzard would be
gOdsend to the Dakotas about now.

before last when they discussed all

that, while they could easily wipe
out the troops now on hahd, if they
did so there would be ten soldiers
there next day to where there was only
one the day before, and it would be
only question of days until the last
Indian would die. Besides, they said,

rounded on all sides by soldiers and
settlers. We have no provisions for
campaign and would surely starve, and
before our eyes"
The whole council united in advising
aud agreeing to submit peacefully TO
whatever the government demanded.
Big Bat urged the necessity of taking
away from the Indians all arms and
ammunition, not because he thought an
uprising probable at any time, but to
make them less rowing and shiftless
and feel more dependent upon manual
labor or civilized pursuits. Gen.
Brooke asked r. o. Pugh, issue clerk
of the supply department, what rationS
the Indians were getting.
''They are getting this" replied Mr.
Pugh; 10 pounds of bacon, pounds of
beans, $50 pounds of beef, pound of
baking powder, 4 pounds of coffee, so
pounds of -four. pounds of salt, 2
pounds of soap, pounds of sugar."
This is the quantity allowed to 100
Indians per day for two weeks" added
Mr.. Pugh.
TOO little: too little; entirely too lit
tle,' exclaimed the general with much
emphasis. who of us don't know that
the people cannot live on that, don't
care whether they are Indians or what
they are? People can't be satisfied, con-
tented or anything else if they don't
have enough TO eat, and the government
should be finding it out pretty soon."
For one thing" said Agent Roger,
''they don't get all the beef that is COM
ing to them. A beef weighing 1.1OO
pounds when it gets here to Sus shrinks
to 700 before it gets to the Indians. and
the Indians are the losers.'
But it is not the beef alone that is
short,'' responded the general. ut is
about everything else except soap. and
there seems to be plenty of that"
