INDIANS COMING IN.

A Number Arrive at the Agency i'm all Stages Of Dilapidation-No Certainty l as to What the Indians Will Do Chiefs to Talk With General Milea | To-Day.
 PINE RIDGE, Jan. 12.-This morning .
 number of bucks and squaws from the
 hostile camp arrived on horseback in all
 stages of dilapidation, but the main body
 of Indians remained near the mission. As
 the refugees or visitors reached at the out
 posts they were deprived of their arms by
 the guards. The willy hostiles, however, displayed only few weapons, and these
 were returned to them when they went back to the hostile camp. Shortly after noon the hostiles made rapid advance and about one thousand of them came to within thousand yards of the pickets outside the agency. The Indians will not be permitted to enter the agency and com munication with them from within has been prohibited. At this writing there is no certainty as to what the Indians will do. General Miles himself is in doubt as to what to expect of them. They may, he says, get to within gunshot of the agency and then break away to the camp which they have just abandoned. Fear of all kinds of punishment seems to have taken possession of them and it is generally un- derstood that one injudicious act on part of the troops or the mad act of some hos tile would precipitate fight, the conse- quences of which may be scarcely imag- ined. Lieutenant Taylor of the Ninth cavalry, has gone to the Indians with a couple of his scouts with the intention of irnrv fHoy of fhA places designated for their camp at the agency. They are virtually surrounded by troops and in Instantaneous posi- tion and revolt would most surely result disastrously to them. Their village com prises about 300 tepees with about 800 In- dians who seem to be we'll supplied with ponies. All of the village, however, is not visible and number of tepees. it ia suspected, are concealed in the draws which lead out of the valley and in the di- rection of the mission.
 The Indians promise to send a deleQa- ton of chiefs to talk with General Miles tomorrow and everything seems favorable to successful close of the war, unless the hostiles should recommence their tribal quarrels. Frank Grouard, the scout, and No Neck and Yankton Charley, all of whom spent last night among the hostiles, say that the latter are still fighting among themselves. They claim the dissension is as great as ever and that it cannot be imag- ined how the hostiles and others will be able to arrive at an amicable understand ing. The next twenty-four hours will like ly witness important events.
 Private Harry B. Stone, troop B, Seventh cavalry, who was shot and stabbed on Wounded Knee, died this afternoon.
 PROVIDENCE, Jan. 12.-The body of Lieutenant Enmund Casey, who was shot by Brule Indian while scouting in the bad lands, was brought to Wickford for burial to-day. The party in charge of the body consisted of the lieutenant's brother, General Casey, and other relatives. Car riages conveyed the party to the Casey farm, four miles from Wickford, where the body was buried in the family lot near the remains of the senior General Casey and other members of the family. Lieutenant Casey was thirty three years of age.
