From an experience Of over thirty

From the Scene of Battle Near the Mission
Building.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Dec. 31.-Lieut.
Herman Krantzberg, OF company A, Seventh
cavalry, shot at Wounded Knee. died last
night. Several others are in a critical con-
dition. The Episcopal church has been
turned into a hospital, and contains thirty
eight wounded hostiles, most of them
squaws, and majority likely to die. In
addition to Carr's command the Seventeenth
infantry and all cavalry at Rosebud will be
here tonight. Gen. Miles will also come.
When the Seventh and Ninth cavalry re-
sponded to the alarm from the mission yes
terday they found it was not the mission on
fire. but the day school. this side. In the
vicinity were fully 500 hostile bucks, bnt
few of whom showed themselves at time
The commanders feared an ambuscade and
as they were greatly o~tnumbered returned
to the agency after sharp skirmish. Six
soldiers were killed and several wounded.
A number of Indians was killed.
In the evening scout brought i'll word
that the hostiles, emboldened by the retir-
ing of the soldiers, had planned to attack
and burn the agency with fire arrows. then
stampede the troops and massacre the in
habitants. The req ort was proved true to
some extent. but heavy lines of pickets
frustrated and stopped the scheme. 4 ter
rife blizzard struck the agency this morn
ing. The air WAS filled with binding snow,
the mercury telling rapidly.

CHADEos. Moo, Dec. Especial Gen.
Miles left here this morning at four o'clock
for Pine Ridge. The three companies of
the First infantry that left hero last night
camped on Beaver creek, twenty miles from
here, and escorted the general tothe agency
from there. Col. Casey, with the remain
ing company left here at IL O'Clock. The
colonel said they expected to camp at
Addaton, as the settlers there are very
much alarmed and wholly Unprotected. A
scout came in late last night from the vicin-
ity OF White river, near the mouth of Hay
creek, and reports all the ranches on the
White river robbed. ponies stolen and cat
tie killed. He said that three cattlemen
left their ranch after they heard of the en-
gagement between Forsythe and Big Foot's
band and that they had not returned yet.
It is feared they have been killed. The
hostiles sent word to the friendly Indians
that all spies would be killed.
IT is reported that John Dyer, chief herd
er of the government, had to leave the gov
ernment herd, which consists Of about
1900 cattle, and Look out for his own life.
Tine herd has been seized and appropriated
by the Indians. The town is filled with
settlers who live between here and the
agency. Every available house and the
court house is occupied with refugees.
Capt. Burke, of company l., received official
notice from Gen. Brooke to-day to make
every possible preparation for defending
the town and also notify settlers.
1t was thought last night the mission
school was burned, as people who came
from Bean valley said they could see the
reflection of the fire, but this turned out to
be an Indian village of the friendlies. How
ever, determined effort was made to burn
the school and they succeeded in setting it
on fire several times. 1t was by desperate
efforts that it was saved.
A great many who are posted claim there
is no immediate danger to railroad towns,
but the seriousness of the situation cannot be
exaggerated. There are about two inches OF

part of that quantity on the way from
Omaha. No more is within immediate

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Hiram 5. Maxim,

machine gun, has returned to New York
from England. He is heavily built, with
snow white hair. and when he talks merry

manufactured in large numbers for the

thus described: ''Some idea of the force of
the new gun may be conceived when IT is

Says Eeapportionmcnt Is Not Being De-
Iayed by Him,
WAsnINGToN, Dec. 3l.--The superinten-
dent of census has submitted to the secre-
tnry of the interior report of the opera
tions of the bureau for the six months end
ed to-day. On the subject of the reappor-
tionment Of representatives in congress.
Porter said that the apportionment Of rep
resentatives in congress was not delayed n
moment by failure of the census Office to
have official returns ready on the conven-
ing of congress. II the apportionment bill
which has passed the house should
pass the senate and become law the
apportionment under the eleventh
census would be about two years earlier
than any heretofore made.
On the subject of farms, homes and
mortgages. etc, Porter says the work &C
cOmplished by this division up to date may
be briefly stated as follows: Number Of
counties in which complete abstracts have
been made, 2.775; number of counties in
which abstracting is unfinished, seven:
total number of counties in the United
States, 2, 1852; number of counties i'll which
supplemental work must be done, owing to
the incompleteness of abstracts, seventeen:
number of mortgages for which abstracts
were made, S,515,5l5: estimated number of
mortgages for which abstracts are yet to be
made in counties that are yet to be re-
abstracted, 57.450. number of mortgages
recorded in the United States during the
ten years ending Dec. u, 1889, rough count
and estimate, S,572,965; number of enquiry
counties in which investigation is yet to be
completed, three; number Of enquiry coun-
ties in which investigation has been
completed, nine; total number of counties
computed from average life, 1853. Total
number of counties sorted, eighty eight;
total number of counties transferred to re-
suit Slips twenty-one. Within few
months the census office expects to an
nonnce the number of persons in the
United States living in rented homes and
cultivatiEg rented farms: the number oc-
cupy:nG their own homes and farms free
from Geb+, aud the number reported as
owning farms and homes mortgaged.
''While the facts obtained by this investi-
CATION will throw new light upon the sub
ject of mortgage Indebtedness. and while
the material gathered bids fair to be far
more complete and far more reliable than
| had ever hoped, the cost of inquiry has
been great and will fully reach my original
estimate of $1.250,OO0 to 81 100000

Get Even.
BDTrE, Dec. Especial. Charles Clu-
EFT, between whom and Joe Black. formerly
part owner of the Clarendon, a bitter feel
ing has existed ever since the foot race at
Spokane several weeks ago, swore out the
warrant upon which Black was arrested,
upon charge of illegal voting at the last
election. Black was taken into custody by
Federal Marshal Furay. and upon a hear
ing by United States Commissioner
Dingevon was held in $500 bail. pending a
preliminary hearing. Ciuett, i'll swearing
to the complaint. alleges that
Black is guilty of violation
of the federal election laws in that. not
being citizen of the United States, he
voted for congressman at the last election,
and therefore his offence comes within the
purview of the federal court. Speaking of
Cluett's charge, Black says it is unfounded d
and of malicious motives and that Cluett
seeks to persecute and harrass him solely
to get even for the financial loss incurred d
on theSpokane foot race, when Cluett and
DIR. Mcdonald are said to have dropped
$4,000 between,
