Very Serious.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, whose depart
ment embraces the territory through
out which the Messiah.crazed Indians
are scattered, made this reply TO ques-
tons:
Ut would be unwise to say anything
at this time. Anything | might say
would be telegraphed all over the coun-
try and soon be in the Indian camps.
The Indians no longer depend upon
runners to take their news from camp
to camp. They utilize the mails and
keep posted with regard to current
events affecting their interests. lhave
nothing to say beyond the tact that
the situation is very serious, and that
there is reason for grave apprehension

The Tipperary Trial

is now nearing close. The defend
ants have no hesitation in saying that
they anticipate conviction, and sem
tences va. wing from three to six
months i,atssa,' en,nent. Father Hum
phrey's is expec, I'd to be dealt with
severely, the magistrates having all
along betrayed an aEsimosity toward
the veteran priest, who has been the
chief of the movement in Tipperary.
The adjournment to Clonn'el is be-
lieved to have been prompted by a
desire to be as near the jail as posi-
ble, so that the defendants, when son
fenced, could be transferred to Gust
ody without any danger of popular
demonstration.

Went Down with 800 Souls.

Strange stories are ahoat in regard
to the ill-fated cruiser Serpent. 1t il
alleged that she was bungled in build
ing and that her test trials under
steam were farces. These allegations
are now said to have been matters Of
common gossip amongth sailors evefs
since the vessel was launched, but If
so they never reached hegeneral pub
lie in print. 1t is known that the men
compla ined of the brutality of the
captain, who threatened to repay
them by severe chastisement. There
were several desertions from the ves-
sci during her last voyage. The adj
miralty are suppressing all details OF
this kind so far as possible, and the
complete story will probably not be
made public until thoreport of board
OF inquiry into the disaster is made,
and perhaps not then.
Additional details regarding the loss
OF the British torpedo cruiser Serpent
have been received in London from
Coruna. The disaster occurred at IL
o'clock Monday night. A heavy
storm was prevailing and the night
was densely black. When the vessel
struck, her keel was torn off and a
great hole was stove in her bottom.
She slipped off the rocks into the deep
water and Immediately foundered,
tons of water rushing through the hole
in her hull. A majority OF the officers
and crew were below when the vessel
struck and she sank SO quickly after
ward that none of them had time to
reach the deck. The disaster was SO
sudden and complete that 1t was inn
possible for those who were on deck
to get boat into the water. The
time between the striking and the
sinking of the vessel was so short that
nearly all on board went down with
without making sign. The
three sailors who managed to
reach the shore near Camarinus
were badly cut and bruised by be.
ing thrown by the seas against the
rocks, and when they reached land
they were exhausted by their struggles.
They were taken to a hospital, wire
they yet remain. Orders have DSep
sent to them from London to proceed
to England as soon as they are in
condition to do so. The admiralty
will hold an investigation into the
circumstances attending the loss of
the Serpent, and the survivors will be
called upon to give their evidence.
The queen has again telegraphed
asking for information regarding the
disaster and expressing her sympathy
with the families of the officers and
crew who lost their lives. It is offici-
ally stated that the Serpent had be-
come partially disabled in a ahurricane
and that it was necessary for her to
repair before proceeding on her voy-
age. Her commanding officer there
fore decided to put into Corrupa or
Vigo, and while attempting to make
a port the vessel was lost.

Call For Arms,

Gov. Miller Of North Dakota was at
CasseltOn on the 18th inst, and kept
the wires hot between there and Bis
marck. He was receiving dispatches
from the capital which are somewhat
alarming. People of MADAM call for
arms and ammunition, and say that
an attack by the Indians may bel look
ed for at any moment. Rowing bands
of armed and painted warriors are
roaming the prairies, and settlers are
leaving farms and ranches. 1t is very
likely that the state militia will be cal
led out. The governor has gone to
Bismarck There is much excitement
and alarm all along the line OF the
Northern Pacific.

Scientist KOch's Cure.

A number of consumptives have
started from London for Berlin to
consult DR.. Kock, and if possible, OBJ
tam treatment with his new remedy
for tuberculosis. The Lancet warns
these patients that it will not be sale
for them to spend the winter in the
climate of Berlin. The admission by
Prof. Koch that his remedy is prob
ably poW.rless TO effect a cure in ad-
vanced cases has dashed the hopes of
thousands who had permitted them
selves to believe in the exaggerated ac-
counts first circulated as to the un-
limited efficacy of the mysterious
lymph.

Tne cron n Case.

What purports to be a statement
from the Chicago ice-man, o'Sullivan,
regarding his connection with the
Cronin case as told within the past
few days to an intimate friend whose
name is not given, has been published.
O'Sullivan is represented as saying he
was in ignorance of any intention TO
kill the doctor, having been repeated
Iy assured by CoHghlin that the pur-
pose was to seize Jronin and search
hlm for documents which were valua-
bic to the Irish cause and OF which
Cronin was treacherously in posses
sion. Burke, Cooney and O'Sullivan,
the statement continues; were all in
the Carlton cottage as the doctor
drove up but 0'Sullivan not liking the
way Burke and Cooney acted, ard
fearing trouble would ensue, went out
of the house, stopping in the back
yard for time, undecided what to do.
When the ice-man finally made up bis
mind and returned inside the cottage,
Cronin was lying on the floor appar-
entity dead. Coughlin, it is alleged,
now entered from the front door and
began kicking Cronin, desisting only
when O'Sullivan threatened to shoot
him. The ice-man then, so says the
statement, abruptly left the cottage.
IL is not claimed this statement or
confession is a written one, but that
in verbal form it has for several days
been in the possession OF the Cronin
prosecution.

The Indian Messiah.

Gen. Miles has received from the
post adjutant at Fort Custer, Mont.
the report OF Lieut.. f. c. Robertson.
relative to the new religious craze at
Cheyenne agency. The report says:
On my arrival at the agency put
myself in Immediate communication
with POrcupine, the apostle Of fthenew
religion among the Cheyennes, with
Big Beaver, who accompanied him ON
his visit to the new Christ at Walker
Lake, New, last year. He had Il
lengthy talk with POrcupime and Big
Beaver. The former was almost en-,
tTely the spokesman, Big Beaver
merely COrrObOratmg his statements
POrCuplne related IN substance the
story reported last summer, q copy
OF (which is shrrcwith forwarded. When
questioned rs to the identity OF the
fifteen or sixteen tribes who were at
the Walker Lane meeting last year
he said that they included Chcyennes,
Sioux, ArapahOes, GrOsVcntrcs, ties
Navajoes, Sheep Eater Bannocks and
some other tribes whose names he
did not know. He says all of the
Utah Indians had been there and had

there were no tribes from Indian Ter.

Sioux were the most eastern Indians
present.
He especially insists that the teach.

industry on the part OF the Indians.
asked him if he could explain how
it was that certain Indian tribes had
made this new doctrine u basis for
negleCting their crops, ndulging eveI
in disorder, as had been the case or
certain reservations. His answer if
so shrewd, and the probable expIana.
tiOn of the facts, that | recorded it
He said that the Indians who had
gone to hear thus new Christ with him
had gone hoping to hear him preach
some incendiary doctrine, and that
they were disappointed at hearing
that the new creed advised them to
simply work and behave themselves;
that they concluded on their return
home not TO restate strictly" what
this man told them, but to put into
his mouth doctrines more probable
to the Indian. These men, said POr.
cupine, are all liars, and they are re-
sponsible for any trouble that occurs

INTERVIEWED AT PIERRE.
Gen. Ruger, before leaving Pierre on
the 18th inst, SAID:
So far as an outbreak is concerned,
there will be none. The cold weather
is now on, and a few days OF below 70
TO weather will chill this religious fer
VOr. 1t is essential for out door work
to keep up the religious work, and the
dancing they indulge in is very fatigu
ing, 1t is too hard work to keep up
all winter, and the tervOr is too in
tense to last much longer. In fact, it
is commencing to die out already in
some localities. The United States
army is too much for them, and the
Indians are shrewd enough to know
and to appreciate the fact that rail
roads border them on all sides and
that troops would be massed in their
vicinity from every side in n very few
days.

and expenditures hereunder shall be
made to congress immediately after June

Provided, That no part of said amount
shall be expended in sinking wells or the
construction Of irrigation works, and the
work done under this appropriation shall
