'Iave seen my own father and mother. In
the beginning, after God made the earth,
they sent me back TO teach the people but
the people were afraid OF me and treated
me badly. This is what they did TO me
showing his scars.) found my children
were bad so went back 10 Heaven anu
left them. l told them that in so many
hundred years would come back TO see
them. My father told me the earth was
getting old and worn out and the people
were getting bad and that was TO renew
everything as il used 10 be and make u
BETTER"
Porcupine added the Christ said all
were 10 he resurrected, that they were all
20 come back 10 the earth and that the
earth was too small for all. Now he would
do away with heaven, and make the earth
itself enough 10 contain all. HE spoke
10 us about fighting. and said that was
had and that we must keep from it That
the earth was to be all good hereafter;
that we must be friends with one an
other. lie told us not to quarrel, or strike,
or fight. or shoot one another; that whites
and Indians were TO be all one people. He
said n any man disobeyed what be or

face Of the earth. We must believe
everything he said. and be would

no matter in what part OF the
world we might be. IL thought all hc

General Miles was questioned tonight

and the mountains. II is serious among
all the different Sioux camps, numbering
1900 men, Arapahoes, Cheyennes, Sho-
sbones and Comanches."
"Can you say anything Of your consul

Certainly not. That is Just the matter

MIHNEPoLIs, Nov. 1.-THE Tribune's
Mandan, North Nakota, special says:
Settlers from every direction come in re-
porting insults received from the depreda-
tory bands Of Indians armed 10 the teeth.
The citizens Of Mandan have practically
no arms and are helpless. During the
day this community was terrorized. A
settler named Ardrom comes from 10
miles out of town and states that this
morning six Indians camped near his
place. He told them TO be careful OF fire.
They told him to mind his own business,
and ominously tapped their guns. The
same fellows this afternoon told friend
ly Sioux who lives here that they belong
10 the army Of the messiah, and were
going down TO take Fort Lincoln and then
burn and pillage Mandan and kill the
inhabitants. They said the messiah will
lead the army aud do not expect TO go out
till spring. But when the messiah says
60, they will go, even IL in the dead
OF winter. These and all other Indians
travelling through the country are armed
in an extraordinary way, and loaded
down with ammunition. Nothing but the
immediate appearance OF troops will pre-.
vent an uprising, in the judgment Of old
Indian soldiers. A number of women
and children left tonight for Bismarck
and other points east of the Missouri.
HURON, S. D., Nov. l7.-General L.
Ruger, commander of the department Of
Dakota. has arrived from visit TO the
various posts. He reports having found
most Of the Indians quiet, and no occa.
sion for fear. The excitement is among
Sioux on Pine Ridge. "The late dances,
General Ruger said, "increased the ex
citement. There seems to be more un.
easiness in the Rine Ridge than at any
other agency. Should the Ind ans con,
tinue 10 carry on their dances and Mes
siah craze, il may be necessary for the
military 10 give attention 10 Pine Ridge
though hope this will not be necessary
