OMAHA, Neb., Nov. pa special
from the correspondent of the Bee at
Pine Ridge agency, received at late
hour tonight, contains the most startling
news yet received OF the Indian trouble.
1t is to the effect that William McGau,
formerly government scout, and now a
rancher, arrived at the agency this
evening with story OF plot to massa-
ere the soldiers under General Brooke.
He enjoys a wide friendship among the
Indians, and few nights ago stopped
at their camp. When supposed
to be asleep he was really
awake and listening to the plan out
lined by the bucks. The place where
they hold the ghost dance is narrow
valley, on two sides of which are dense
clumps of trees. The Indians planned
to keep up the dance until the soldiers
interfered. Then the devilish plot will
be put into execution. The dance will
be kept up in the middle of natural
amphitheater, and when the soldiers
detile down the valley between the trees
the hundreds of Indians who
will be concealed therein will
NOW them down with their rifles.
McGau says they talked the matter
over in the most calculating manner,
figuring just how they will dispose of
the braves so as to insure the killing Of
every soldier. McGau, as soon as he
could get away. hastened to the agency
to inform General Brooke OF the awful
fate projected for him. This story has
removed from the minds of the officers
the last doubt OF the bloodthirsty spirit
that has taken possession OF the In
diane

donia. Chancellor Won Caprivi and
Count Kalnoky sent joint note to
Athens, warning the government that
in the event of measures being taken to-
ward war with Turkey, the driebund's
squadrons will blockade the coasts of
Greece, and leave the Hellenic army to
take isolated actionAon the land against
the Turks. The decisive character of
this stopped the blaze of war over Eu-
rope.
The Kutno Railway Murder.
Details received regarding the rail-
way murder at Kutno, show that when
the train left Lomez, all the passen-
gers, save the murderers and their VIC
Tins, had quilted the compartment.
The murderers threw a quantity of in
cense powder in the eyes of the victims,
and dispatched one with a knife and
the other with bludgeon. The bodies
were thrown out of the carriage, and
the murderers sprang off the train as it
was slowing up.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. pa special to

saws: Two OF the most reliable scouts in
the government employ report to Gen
eral Brooke that last night $50 lodges of
the wounded Knee fanatics. including
some of the most desperate and treach-
GUS redskins in this part of the country,
moved to White river, twenty miles
north of here, and again begun the ghost
dance, in wilder manner than known
thus far. The scouts talked with sew
eral leaders, and all declare that they
would shoot any government officials or
soldiers who attempted to suppress the
dance. This is by far the most menac-
ing news that has come to General
Brooke since his arrival. The Indians
in these $50 lodges are armed with Win
chesters, navy revolvers and knives,
have large quantities of ammunition
and provisions, and are receiving heavy
reinforcements hourly. Gen. Brooke re-
ceived a telegram from Gen. Miles last
night, giving him power to call just as
many more troops to this point as he
deemed expedient.
Some Of the scouts and Indian police
sent out Thursday to notify the nom
dancing faction to move into the agency
precincts until the trouble was settled,
have returned. They report the friendly
Indians willing to come in. Some have
already done so, and it is believed all
will be in by Sunday night. The dan

EMBARRASSED BANKS.
DepOsitOrs In q Chicago Bank Left in
the Lurch.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-The private bank
OF w. l.. Prettyman, on the north side,
closed its doors this morning. Prettyman
could not be found, 80 no statement of
the assets and liabilities was obtainable.
Many poor peoples hard-earned savings
are involved. Lyons Bros, dealers in
crockery, have SIS, 900 ON deposit. This
is believed to be the largest single loss.
This afternoon an assignment was
made to the cashier of the bank, John
son, and at the same time he was made
the assignee of the North Division lum-
Der company, in which Prettyman is
the heaviest stockhoider. Prettyman
also assigned his real and personal es-
tate. The assets and liabilities of the
two concerns, and Prettyman's estate,
will reach, it is believed, million dol
lars. Assignee Johnson refuses to make
any statement of the assets or liabilities
of either the bank or the lumber COM
pany. He said the cause OF the assign
ment was the tight money market and
its bad effect on the lumber company.
This concern and the bank were closely
connected. One of the former depositors
in the bank, however, who asserts to
have a pretty good knowledge of it's
affairs, believes the liabilities of the
bank will reach half million, and the
assets are probIematical. He said
Prettyman has been speculating heavily
this year in real estate, and putting up
houses for sale, and that the business
has not proved profitable. A large num-
Der Of depositors in the bank are poor
people.

Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--The war de-
partment has authorized the number of
Indian scouts in the division of Dakota
to be increased by five hundred men.
They will be selected from the Indian
police and other disciplined Indians.
Major General Schofield this afternoon
said every hour passed without an out
break, frightened the prospects for
peaceful settlement OF the pending dis
turbance. Secretaries Proctor and No
BILE were in consultation this afternoon
with the president, who manifested
much interest in the subject, and de-
cided that two regiments of cavalry
should be sent to Pine Ridge from Ari-
zona and New Mexico. Dispatches
from General Miles state that the separ-
alton of the friendly and turbulent In
dians is proceeding rapidly at Pine
Ridge. General Brooke anticipates no
immediate trouble, and thinks separa-
ton will make easier the task OF re-
stralning the turbulent Indians from
overt acts. Telegrams have been re-
ceived confirmatory of the reports that
the Messiah craze is rapidly extending
north, and across the Canadian line,
under the operation of Sitting Bulls
emissaries. =
Acting Indian Commissioner Belt has
sent circular to all Indian agents, ex-
cept the agents of the tribes in Dakota,
in regard to the ghost dance. He says
sit is very important, in view OF the ten
dency of such excitement to obtain a
general hold upon the Indians, that the
Office be kept advised as to the condition
of affairs at each agency, with the view
to the adoption of all proper precaution-
airy measures to prevent an outbreak OF
the Indians and enforce obedience by
them to all the regulations of this de-
partment. You are therefore instructed
to keep this Office fully posted by letter,
or by telegraph if the emergency should
require"
Acting Commissioner Belt has re-
ceived the following telegram from Agent
Dixon: "The Indians at Crow Greek
and Lower Brule are under good con-
troll. Have had three leaders from other
reservations under arrest at Grow Greek,
and discharged them under promise of
good behavior. The Indian police are
sufficient protection under present indi-
cations. There are no Indians away
from the reservation SO far as the police
can ascertain"

WON'T STOP DANCING.
A Master of the Ghost Dance Writes an
Insolent Letter.


Inso1ent Letter.
OMAHA, Nov. PA special to the
Bee from Pine Ridge agency says: Cen
sus enumerator Lee, who arrived this
morning from trip through the more
distant portions of the reservation, is of
the opinion that the ghost dances will
result in trouble before many days. The
settlers on the borders OF the reserva-
ton, he says, are flying out. General
Brooke is non-committal but evidently
much troubled. He thinks the crisis is
not far away. Agent Roger received
communication from Little Wound,
high priest of the dancers, in
which the chief says he wants
to know what the soldiers are
coming for. The dance is religious
one, said he, and we are going to keep it
up until spring. If we find the Christ
does not appear we will stop, but not in
the meantime, troops or no troops. He
announced that he would start another
dance at Medicine Root creek tomorrow
morning. He said he had been in
formed that the soldiers would stop
their rations. He does not care, he says,
as what they get does not amount to
anything, but if such is the case he
wants to know,so his people won't have
the trouble OF going to the agency. He
concluded with an emphatic reiteration
that they would not stop dancing. DR..
Roger has not yet replied.

The bestowal by Emperor William of
the grand cross of the Order of the Red
Eagle upon Professor Koch was gazetted-
tonight. This is the first time this
decoration has been bestowed upon any
one that did not possess the preceding
classes of the order. Though confidence
in the ultimate value OF Koch's discovery
does not abate, public disappointment
over the immediate results of the treat
ment grows daily. Professor Koch's
assistants and others estimate that
1900 cases have already been treated,
the greater number of whom were suf-
fering from exterior tuberculosis, and
comparatively few cases OF tubercles on
the lungs.
Experts are beginning to concur in
the opinion that the cure of this disease
is uncertain. Prof. Koch blames the
press for raising exaggerated hopes of
instant benefit in every form of tuber-
culosis. Many physicians are express
ing opinions. Some say that the possi-
bility of the cure of lupus alone has
been proved, and not scientifically es-
tablished. Lupus arises from the same
bacillus associated with lung tubercles.

bacteria, says it will take fully year of

Rock agency special to the Tribune
says: Major Mclaughlin visit to Sit

ping, for a time at least, the ghost

from Bull yesterday, who says he has
taken his friends advice and stopped
the dances. Bulbs child is very sick, or
he would come to the agency today to
draw rations. 1t is reported here today
that Bulls followers are growing less,
because the Messiah has not appeared,
and that discourages the chief. The
agent thinks the re is no probability of
trouble here at present, and may not be
this winter or spring. He is working
hard on the Indians with score of able
assistants, and makes strong argument
against the craze. The people on the
east side of the river are fleeing for their
lives, with no one in pursuit. The ex-
element is all unwarranted. The report
of massacre forty miles south is be-
lieved to be unfounded.

horrible manner this afternoon. She
went to the Pierrepont hotel and asked
for room on the top floor, saying
she was troubled with palpitation OF the
heart and wanted to be away from all
excitement. The manager conducted
her to room on the sixth floor. Soon
after she went for bottle of wine, and
later rang for chambermaid. When
the latter entered the room, the lady
was standing with wine glass in her
hand. Without word, she dashed the
wineglass to the floor, and rushed to
the window and jumped out. She
turned over and over and struck
with terrific force on the roof OF the ex-
tension, bounded off and landed on
large flower urn standing in front OF the
hotel, and there rolled to the sidewalk
dead. Her mother is in a critical con-
dition from the shock. The suicide had
been married seven years. She lately

doubtedly temporarily demented.
