THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Jan. 7.-The situ- ation remains practically the same as yes- terday, with the exception that the diff culty is one day nearer settlement What that settlement will be no one may tell. Couriers from among the hostiles repeat the announcement that nothing can arrest bloodshed, while at headquarters hopes are entertained that the trouble will be soon ended in peace. General Miles has not yet heard from Big Road JackRedC Cloud, ,HeDog, Little Hawk, who conferred with him on Monday and returned to the hostiles If they do not come then it is probable that but little delay will take place before he will take the field after them. Late this evening the general received word from Red Cloud to the effect that he would come in tomorrow morning and bring all the Indians he could with him. The general thinks that Two Strike will accompany Red Cloud and that they may be followed by all the other Indians.

The Indians stated that near ly if not quite all of the Pine Ridge In dians were desirous of peace and wanted to come back to the agency. If the Pine Ridge Indians conclude to come back it will greatly reduce the war party, now numbering 4,00O. There are 2,200 Pine Ridge Indians absent.

CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Secretaries Proc
 tor and Noble and General Schofeld had
 conference at the war department this af-
 ternoon in regard to the Indian troubles
 and it was agreed to recommend to the president the appointment of an officer of the army as agent of the Indians at Pine Ridge agency, thus necessitating the re- tirement of Indian Agent Rover. The off cer appointed, however, will retain his po- sition in the army. The Indian agents at the other agencies will not be disturbed, but army officers have been designated to take military control of four other agen- cies with instructions to cooperate with the agents of the interior department. The report that these agents have been dis placed is without foundation except so far as relates to the Pine Ridge agency. Cap tain Pierce of the First infantry has been selected as the agent at the Pine Ridge agency and he will probably be appointed by the president tomorrow.
 It is stated at the Iudian bureau that the army officers who have been designated to take military control of the South Dakota agencies have had experience in Indian af- fairs. Captain Pierce was for some time in Arizona and Captain Lee has had con experience as agent of the Arapa- hoes and Cheyennes in the Indian territo- ". Captain Ewall has also served in this ...
 Secretary Proctor denies emphatically the newspaper reports of a controversy be- tween the war and interior departmsnes in regard to the management of the Indian He said this afternoon that the two departments were in perfect harmony in the matter.

On the morning of the 10th, search
was made for Lola. She was not in the
house. A little after midday, one Of the
keepers, sent out to explore the abbey
woods and park, reported that he had
seen the fugitive in the fir plantation,
about half mile from the abbey. At
sight of him she had ''scuttled" away
like young deer, but he, obedient to
orders, had not pursued her.
'sIt's the smell Of the pines as drawed
her there" said the Judge; "she was
born amongst 'em, she has lived amongst
'em, and she loves 'em more than laces
