THE INDIAN TROUBLES.
HOsiiles StIll Giving the Army Much Worry an
IabOr.

The Indians are still rampant in and around
the Pine Ridge Agency, and skirmishes between
the hostiles and the Regulars are daily occur
rences. Several soldiers have been reported
killed and wounded, and the Indians from
these dispatches, have been getting the worst
Of the fighting. There are also reports that
Gen. Carr's command had an engagement with
the hOstiles in the Bad Lands and had been
wOrsted, but the reports have not been con-
hrmed and arc not considered authentic. The
Indians continue to refuse to listen 10 any propo
sition of peace, and say they will fight to the
death.
The party which was sent out to bring in the
dead bodies OF the Indians left on the field at
Wounded Knee found los and eight wounded,
who had survived the terrible cold Of three
days without shelter, and were still alive on
the ground. An attempt was made 70 remove
the dead and wounded TO Pine Ridge Agency,
but before the task was completed the rescuing
party was attacked by rowing band Of hostiles
aud driven away. Among the rescued was
little babe three years old, alive but with
slight chances of surviving.
Gen. Miles has recommended that the Indian
Agents in the vicinity Of the trouble be re-
moved, and Army officers appointed in their
stead. The hOstiles have sent out runners 20

battle and calling upon them for aid and

ed. There were 10 casualties in the troop.
At Pine Ridge Agency there is a state Of fe-
verish excitement. Gen. Miles has all his
troops we'll in hand. and any day could bring
on general engagement, but he could not pre-
vent small bands from escaping, and these
would have to be followed mp, which would
place tho lives Of many soldiers in danger.
By holding his troops in their present positions
until moro force arrives, he thinks the trouble
can be ayerted.

EFFECTS OF MENTAL DISTRESS.


A Theory In Regard to the Manner In
Which Fright May Produce Death.
In studying the admitted fact that severe
mental distress or fright sometimes pro.
duces physical disease and even death DR.
q. Bassi has recently made a number Of
observations on animals which died appar-
emily in consequence Of captivity Birds,
moles and n dog which had succumbed to
conditions believed by DR.. Bassi to resem
bic those known among human beings as
acute nostalgia and broken heart" were
examined post mortem. Generally there
was hyperHmia sometimes associated with
capillary henorrhages Of the abdominal
organs, more especially of the liver, also
fatty and granular degeneration of their
elements, and sometimes bile was found in
the stomach, with or without a catarrhal
condition The clinical symptoms were at
first those Of excitement, especially in the
birds. these being followed by depression
The theory suggested by DIR. Bassi is that
the nervous disturbance interferes with the
due nutrition of the tissues ia such way
a. to give rise to the formation Of toxic
substances probably ptomanes - which
then set up a condition similar to that
which occurs in consequence OF the action
Of certain poisonous substances, such as
phosphorus or to that met with In some
infectious diseases In support OF this
view he points out that Schulz has found
this condition in persons dead from acute
deliriun, and that Zenker found her1or
rhages in the pancreas in persons who had
died suddenly. He refers also to some
we'll known facts concerning negroes in
state Of slavery, and to the occasional oc-
currence OF ianndice after fright. He hopes
that these hints may induce medical Off
GERS Of prisons and others to study both
clnically and anatomically this interesting
subject.
