gram from Nashville, Neb., Inform.
ing him that General Brooke's com.
mand reached Pine Ridge at !
o'cioc. this morning. The Indians
are coming in large numbers
from Rosebud. There is much ex.
citement and the ghost dance con.
tinues.
General Miles received a com.
munication from an officer at Camp
Poplar River, Mont, dated Novem.
Der 18th. containing considerable
matter of interest with reference 10
the Messiah craze. The officer re.
ports all Indians in that vicinity
affected by the prevailing craze, and
even the more intelligent half.breeds
believe in it. Numbers Of young
Indians have recently procured new
Winchester rifles. Where, the Off
Ger could not ascertain. There has
been no excitement up there vet,
nor any dances, but there is q deep
and universal interest and q belies
that there will be astonishing super.
natural manifestations before very
long.
One Of Sitting Bulbs lieutenans
white Gutl with two other Sioux
have recently been up there preach
ing the new doctrine, denouncing
the schools and telling the Indians
to provide themselves with arms
and ammunition, and join other In
dams next spring in the Black Hills
country. They were ordered off the
reservation and went to the noun
tains north Of the British line, to pros
elyte the Ogallalas and Uucapapas.
One Of the loyal Indians told this
officer that In case the Sioux should
open hostilities many young war
riors from that vicinity are likely to
go and join them.
The Ogallalas and Uneapapas
north IF the British line are 3 bad
lot. Some Of them were in the Gus
ter affair, and some Of the older ones
were concerned in the Minnesota
massacre of 1867.
The Gros Ventres Indians at Fort
Belknap are in q very turbulent
state. AS an instance Of the stories
floating around, the officers tell one
on the reservation, to the
effect that several young warriors
started from there TO visit Sitting
Bull and learn about the new Mes
siah. On the way one OF them,
Yellow Hawk, said ne had been
in a dream to kill him
self as a test Of his faith, with a
promise that he should be raised
from the dead. He committed sui.
eide accordingly, and the party
went on without him. When they
reachsi Sanding Rock they found
Yellow Hawk there, alive and well,
having been resurrected and taken
% Standing Rock ahead OF his COM
1anions. This is the story sent back
y the travellers.

Stationed at this point, returned
.oday from a trip up Red River,
where he went on hearing that

he distribution of rations and were
killing cattle. He reports that he
found the Indians much excited and
keeping up their famous ghost
with n zest and persever-
ance that is alarming. He found
''Hump Reed"with about 300 braves
Of the Two Kettle bana, all painted
up and acting in n very suspicious
manner.
Cowboys who arrived here tonight
stated that the Indians had killed q
Of cattle and were acting in
q strange manner, and the famous
Indian, ''Stepps, the Cripple" had
told them they had better keep on
their guard. Some OF the chiefs
told Norville that several Of the hos
tiles had urged them to 60 and join
the ghost dances, making a threat
that if they didn't enough force
would be sent against them to kill
hem. All claim to stand in great
lear Of the hostiles.
