CHICAGO, November 24th.-Everybodv
about the army headquarters is busy. A
larger force than has been mustered in that
vicinity since the memorable campaign OF
1876. will be in the region about Pine
Ridge by Wednesday. Not only infantry
and cavalry have been moved up, but also
field artillery, and large quantities of am.
munition and supplies.
General Schofield having instructed Gen
eral Miles to investigate the charge that
the present dissatisfaction among the In
dians is due more to lack of rations than
a religious craze, he has sent Inspector
General Heyel tosthe West. He will visit
all the army posts, and most of the agency
stations.
General Miles received a letter from an
officer at Los Angeles which throws further
light on the Messiah mystery. He tells OF
an Indian from Nevada, answering the de-
scription given by Porcupine, who talked
last spring with the officer. He said his
name was johnson Sides, and he was
known By the Indians and whites where
ne lived as the "Peacemaker." He showed
medal which had been given him by some
good. He talked about the Bible, and said
he was desirous of making peace with
everyone, He told OF Indians coming from
tar off to see him, and showed pipe recog-
niZed as from the Dakota tribes. All OF
this comedies with Porcupine's story.
The officer writes that he firmly believes
this good-natured Indian is the one who
caused all the trouble. He taught the In
dians the story of Christ, and the time
when he would once more visit the earth,
as taught him by the Christian people. He
no doubt told the story in his true under
standing, and the Indians are retelling il
according to their likes and understanding
FEW INDIANS AT THE cHYENNE AGENCY.
MINNEAPOLIS, November 24th-A Tri-
bune special from Pierre says: Parties re-
turning from the Cheyenne agency report
very few Indians there to-day, although it
was ration day. This is a suspicious cir
cumstance. A trader who has a store near
Rosebud reports that indians pillaged it on
Sunday.
PEOPLE RETURNING HOME,
ST. PAUL, November 24th.-A Pioneer.
Press special from Bismarck says that most
of the Indians at Standing Rock are falling
away from Sitting Bull because of the fail
ure of the Messiah to appear. All is quiet,
although small faction still keeps up the
dance. No further demonstrations have
been made against the settlers between the
agency and Mandan, and they are return
ing home. The stampede of 500 families
to Eureka and other towns from the east
side OF the river was caused by woman,
who saw Indians on the other side ad-
vancing and yelling, and gave the alarm,
fearing they were coming over to massacre

NO FIGHT MATERIALIzED.
BLUNT Is. d., November oath In the
panic Saturday night, caused by the re.
ported approach of band of Indians,
great crowds of people massed in the hotel
here awaiting the fight, which did not
come. Two children seriously i'll with
scarlet fever were brought in, and all the
people were exposed to the disease.
Ii is reported tonight that half. breed
was killed at Fort Bennett for not partici-
pating in the ghost dance.
No DISTURBANCES AT ROSEBUD.
CHICAGO, November 24th.-A dispatch
from Valentine, Neb., to the Associated
Press says that ration day passed quietly at
Rosebud. Not more than twenty of Sitting
Bulls followers came in, owing probably
to the fact that they helped themselves to
Government beef. There is no likelihood
of conflict unless the troops attempt to
arrest the fanatics responsible fo- the theft.
Several more companies of infantry are
due tonight or to morrow, but even when
they arrive the force will still be too small,
il the opinion of the officers, to make an
aggressive movement. The policy of the
officers is to act in the most conservative
manner.
A y or
PINE RIDGE, November 24th.-The day
passed quietly here. All day long the In
dams came in for their rations. No at
tempt was made to withhold supplies from
such dancers as came in. No Water, Big
Road, and other leaders of the dancers
have sent word that they will stop. Little
Wound is the only chief who refuses to
answer. Special Agent Cooper is inclined
to be suspicious of the assertions of obedi-
euce by the others, and there will be no re-
Taxation of vigilance.
General Brooke reports everything quiet
tonight but the settlers along the reserva-
ton line are still stampeding and appeal
ing for aid. If things remain quiet for a
few days the officers think the whole
trouble will subside.
HUNTERS IN THE CHE RoKEE STRIP DIsARMED
WICHITA KAN, November 24th.-A
hunting party, consisting of G. Ratone, H.
c. Haughland, T. Boyton and Alexander
Askew, citizens of Ashland, went into the
Cherokee strip few days ago. They had
permits from the Deputy Marshal, and went
into camp on Saturday night, thirty miles
west of Coldwell. Soon after several In
dian scouts appeared and ordered them out
of the strip. They produced their permits,
bat the Indians refused to recognize them,
and disarmed the party. Ropes were tied
around their necks and the scouts started
north with their prisoners. When within
FIVE miles Of the State line the hunters
were released. Their horses, camp equip
ments and arms were confiscated. The
party will report the matter to the Govern
ment authorities.
