CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-This afternoon Gen.
Miles received letter dated Camp Poplar
River, Montana, Nov. II, 1890. from one
of the army officers at that post. An army
officer says: Capt. Wheaton, commanding
here, thinks that all the Indians on the
reservation believe in the Messiah craze.
He says that even the more intelligent half
breeds believe in it. Some younger In
dams recently procured new Winchesters.
The Indians here, IS a whole, are not we'll
armed. Scobey, the Indian agent here,
also thinks that the belief in the Messiah is
practically unanimous.
There has been no very great excitement
here upon the subject, nor any religious
dances, but there 10 deep and universal in
tefest and belief that there will be aston
ishing supernatural manifestations in their
behalf before very loug. On the 22d of
October, one of Sitting Bulls lieutenants,
White Gut, and two other Sioux, came
here and preached the new doctrine. They
denounced schools and told the Indians to
provide themselves with arms and ammuni-
ton and meet other Indians next spring in
the Black Hills country. They were
ordered of the reservation and went to
Woody Mountain, NORTH Of The British
line to carry the tidings to the remnant
of Ogallalas and Uncapapas still there. A
loyal Indian who lives l6 miles away wa, at
the agency today. He has no belief in The
new craze. He says Sitting Bull has been
particularly "bad hearted" since the death
Of his only surviving child year ago. He
has lot of very ugly Indians about him
who encourage each other. They talk pow
way and keep up the excitement to such q
pitch that there is danger of bloodshed be-
fore things can be quilted. There is no in
tention OF committing any outrages at pres.
ent, still there are at present As lodges Of
Ogallslas and Uncapapas north Of
the boundary line about Woody Mountain.
There are about 300 Indians. An Indian
says that the Gros Ventres or Fort Belknap
reservation Indians are excited over Mes
siah and are more ugly than the Indians
here. A telegram from Rushville informs
Gen. Miles troops under Gen. Brooks,
who reached Pine Ridge agency at 7 this
morning, that the Indians was coming in
large numbers from Rosebud. There is
much excitement as the Ghost dance con-

New YoRK, Nov. 20.-The new gunboat

ing across the waters of the sound like q
huge full moon, lies opposite City leland.
awaiting the mornings break for
the battle Of her engines against
natures element. The Concord left the
slip where she was moored just after the
big Maine had been put into the
waters from the New Yard. The flood
tide pushed her stern back at first and pre-
vented an immediate entrance to the river.
As she steamed up toward BlackwelPs
leland her yawing evinced the fact that
something was the matter with her steering
gear. Investigation showed that a steel
clutch, which enables the cruiser being
steered from forward, was not in place. 1t
was thrown into action, but the rudder still
failed to move. The rudder was exam
ined and found to be held perfectly sta
tionary by two big steel pins. The pins
had been placed in the quadrant yoke while
the Concord was in port at New York by y
man. who returned TO Chester without
mentioning it. The tension of the rudder
chains Jammed the pins in 80 tight that
they could rot be removed until q stop was
made and the steering engine reversed. In
the meantime the Concord had been
steered up the river and through He'll Gate
by the manipulation of her screws through
the agency of the engine room. She be-
haved well. even under these trying condi-
tons. The Sound was entered at $50 p.
NJ. When City Island was reached she
was ran at full speed for three miles. No
official record was kept but the officers on
the bridge agree that she went at seventeen
knots an hour.
