Another Hotchlsiss Battery--Heady to
March Against tho Hostiles.

OMAHA, NEE, Dec 20.-A special
from Camp Carr on the Cheyenne river
says: John Farnham who has been in
the employ Of the government as scout
was yesterday placed under arrest by
orderof General Carr, administrations
from General Miles.
Farnham is suspected of giving in
formation concerning the movements Of
the troops along the Cheyenne river to
the hostiles. Farnham is a squaw man
and is married to a Ogallala squaw
The troops at this camp are ready for
a forward movement as soon as orders
are received and if given permission
will have no difficulty in penetrating to
the Indian stronghold.
The Indians to-day have been firing
the grass in the basin north of the White
River Slope and il is thought 10 be a
signal to Sitting Bulls warriors. Another
battery of llotchlSiss guns was received
at the camp yesterday Forty Chcy-
enne scouts are expected to arrive this
afternoon.

This Sioux, the prophet of the Dacotahs,

Pontiac Brant, are names of splendor

accuracy, he was superior to them all.

like dog s--without funeral rites, without
tribal wall, with no solemn song or act.
That is the deed of to-day. That is the
best that this generation has to give to this
noble historic character, this man who in
his person ends the line Of aboriginal sane
titles older than the religion of Christian or
Jew. Very well, So let it stand for the

but SO quickly and with such deceptive
wave of the hands that your heart comes up
into your mouth, for you think that her
body has whirled clear around on her spine
as an axis.
She can do hundred such tricks as that.
The positions which she really assumes are
not a thousandth part 80 miraculous as
those she makes one think she has assumed;
enough. and not at all improper, but will
defy anybody to fix his attention upon that
part of the performance. The spectator
with any soul at all will watch Carmen
cita's body, not her legs. That body,
writhing with thousand undulations, has
not only the grace but the charm of ser
pent. And here again it is trickery, al
though thoroughly artistic and therefore
pardonable. Her 1.-the form bends and

often has bright scales like golden ser
pant; and belt of yellow trimming on the
skirt just under the one she lifts with her
hands, seems to revolve around like hoop
of flame.
She reverses the ordinary rules of the
dance. You will see the average ''pre-
miere'' hold her body steady and kick her
legs. Carmencita's legs as rule are the
steadiest part of her.
Az to the various dances she has in her
repertory, have endeavored to learn what
they were and failed. I discovered their
Spanish names but that doesn't help me.
As to this difference between them, 1t is
all mass of mystery to the untutored.
The combinations of gyrations and kicks
are too bewilderiug to be understood or de-
scribed by q man who never tried anything
more complicated than the Virginia Reel.
Carmencita's grace il that of motion

OF condensed comic opera. Recently q
mutilated fragment of LA File de Madame
Angot" has been abused for this purpoee.
But now she will have whole play, though
not very long one.
When this idea dawned upon the manage
ment its brilliancy was obscured BY slioht
cloud; Carmencita cannot speak English.
VI course she has picked up little OF the
language, but whea she uses it our mother
tongue is put through wilder commissions
than ia the pretty Spaniard's BODY in her
widest cachucha. The concert garden au-
dience couldn't have understood her: IL ia

rather too plain, perhaps. From this diff

lines for his leading female role. The play
is called 1.-THE Dumb Girl of Seville" Car
mencita will play the title role and intro

The other will be performed to one of those
dreamy Spanish airs which could only orig

whole, there will be very much more of hel
than heretofore.
And I venture to predict that Carmencita
will gain In popular favor with this more
liberal display of her powers. Curiosity
will be piqued anew, and it is we'll not to

Then came la File de Madame
Angot," and when in the midst of it Car
mencita was announced, there was Renu-
inely enthusiastic expectancy. But the
dance didn't set people crazy. It was over
SO soon that many had only begun to real
ize it's unusual character. There were two
or three recalls rewarded by just few little
kicks apiece and that was all. A 9th of
the spectators, perhaps, inquired if that
was all of Carmencita, and then as those
who have seen curiosity and suppose that
they ought to be satisfied. Two Of the
four "gaiety dancers who appeared later in
the evening had more personal admirers. if
one might judge by the applause. But if
either of those girls had danced for one
minute after the fashion of Carmencita,
she would have been nothing but a mass of
dislocations and fractures at the end of it.
Yes. Carmencita is undoubtedly unique.
Nature and art have made her wonderfully
capable of portraying by expression, pose,
and gesture a whirl Of wild emotion which
is hardly human. Its intensity suggests
some creature of the woods. physically
transcendant, and unfettered by the obli-
cation of soul. There are mirth, and
sorrow, timidity and vanity. but the master
emotion of them all is master of the dance.
Love such rs q nymph might feel is in the
waving of the arms that beckon. and i'll the
steps that retreat; in the subtle undulations
of the body that writhes as il Thousand
waves of passion were sweeping over it; and
finally in the wild abandon of every CULVER
ing fibre as the dance concludes.
