OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 18.-Troops from
Fort Omaha, Fort Robinson, Fort Mo.
brara, Neb., and pack train from Fort
Russell, Wyo., have been ordered out to
hold the Indians in check at the Rosebud
and Pine Ridge agencies on the Dakota
frontier. They will ell be in motion be-
fore night.
ST PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 18.-General
Ruger, commanding the department of
Dakota, accompanied by his aid-de-camp,
Lieutenant Woodruff, returned this morn
ing from their tour of inspection among
the various posts of the northwest. Gen
eral Ruger was busy with accumulated
work, but Lieutenant Woodruff said the
reports of the trouble were more or less
exaggerated. Regarding these reports he
said: HSome of the statements made are
particularly those with reference to
the belief that Mandan is threat
ened by an armed force. The Indians
located nearest to Mandan are about
thirty-fve miles away on the Cannon
ball river. They are thrifty, indus
up claims, built huts and houses, own cat
tie. ponies and wagons, and are in good
circumstances. They are Christianized
Indians. having no faith in aboriginal
sunerstitions and dislike this new Messiah
craze, for they say that it interferes with
the progress Of the people. And every
year these Indians sell hundreds of thou
sands of pounds of beef to Standing Rock
agency. receiving not only q good price
therefor, but also some of the beef in re-

And yet these are the ones to
watch whom the people of Mandan have
sent out as scouts. During my inquiries
found that there was nothing having the
appearance of war or indicative to war in
this Messianic belief. The Indians say
that the whites are to be destroyed, but
by the Christ alone and without aid from
the red men. A mud wave is to engulf
the palefaces, but the Indians are to be
lifted above it until it passes over: This
