CHICAGO, Nov. a6.-Last night General
Miles received the following from Cover
nor Millette of South Dakota, and immedi-
ately after perusing same said that GEN
erals Ruger and Brooke were making all
preparations possible to protect lives and
property:
PIERRE. S. D., Nov. 26.-Scotty Phil
lips, who has thousand head of cattle
and has lived at the mouth of the Grand
Stone Butte creek, eighty miles up Bad
river, with family since 1878, and
Waldram, the cattle man, seven miles this
side of Phillips left their places at 2 p. m.
yesterday to bring me intelligence. Phil
lips was good scout through the Sioux
troubles of 1875-1876 and Cheyenne trou-
bles of 1879, and is reliable. He thinks
there will be an uprising very soon and
bases his belief as follows: Eight days
ago five lodges containing twelve bucks,
armed with Winchesters and laden with
ammunition, called at his house, en- route
to large camp on Rosebud. He talked
with them an hour. They were surly and
defiant in manner. One said he had seen
the time when he used to beat out the
brains of children and drink women's
blood, and that the time is coming when
he will do it again. He said Phillips was
raising horses for the Indians to ride, that
the country was just as good now as in
the buffalo time, as there were plenty of
cattle in it. Phillips knew these Indians
well, Yellow Thigh being their leader.
White6eld, settler at the mouth of Pass
Creek on White river, had his house broken
open by the Indians and all his goods and
horses stolen about ten days ago. Phillips
in these last few days has had twenty cattle
killed by the Indians and Waldren seven
that they know of. Three half breeds from
White River stopped at Phillips house
night before last and they said that they
expected to find the settlements destroyed
when they got home. The threats are
| against the half breeds and all Indians who
will not join the ghost dance. Phillips
| says everybody who has been among the
Indians for any time say that there is go
|
| Pass Creek dance has been running for a
month. Phillips and Waldram say that ii
is Short Bulls headquartersan they think
| it is point fixed for concentration. They
think there are now thousand lodges
and 500 armed warriors there. The In
dams claim they will not give
up Short Bull and will fight when
| the soldiers try to arrest him.
They say as soon as the fight begins
a hail storm will kill the soldiers.
This talk is from Indian runners passing
Phillips place between Standing Rock and
the camp On Piss Greek. They travel day
and night with increditable swiftness.
know Phillips well and would take his
judgment on the matter in preference te
that of anybody else. If you deem this
of any importance, can send a messenger
to further investigate. I urgently re-
quest, however, that you establish posts al
