MANDAN, \. D., Jan. 3.-Company h,
Twenty second infantry, has been ordered
to Fort Yates from the Cannon Ball. 1t
is reported that the friendly bucks ut
Standing Rock have gone out 70 JOIN the
hostiles. They told Agent Mclaughlin
they would sooner be killed in war than
slaughtered in peace.
PIERRE, :. D., Jan. st is reliably re-
ported that the hostile Indians have sent
out runners to all Indian camps, notifying
them OF the battle and calling upon them
for aid One of the runners has made his
river, and has been using every means TO
iucite them into joining the conflict. The
proper army officials have been notified,
and are no doubt on the lookout Tor the
red rascals. The principal Indian trader
at Fort Pierre, Mr.. ketchum, says he has
sold more red paint to the Indians within
the past few days than for years.

MILES TO sCHOFIELD.
Gen. Schofeld this morning received the
following telegram from Gen. Miles, dated
Pine Ridge, Jan. >: Telegram last night
should read 500 people Instead of 400
There is a report from the Indian camp
this morning that Red Cloud and Little
Wound are determined to come IN with
their following Their lives have been F,
threatened by the hostiles, who are deter
mined to 90 to war. There is also a report
from the same source of an engagement
between the Indians and the cavalry, in
which quite "A number of soldiers were
killed and some Indians. If this i correct, /
it is probably on the line of the White .
river. Gen. Brooke now has command of
that line, and will give the necessary dl- /
rections."
Gen. Schofield said to a reporter, after
this telegram had been given out, that /
nothing additional had been received up 10 /
the present time. Il think that this dis
arch throws a favorable light on the stu /.
alton. We are still encouraging Gen. T.
Miles, and he is encouraging us, and l /
still have hopes that we shall yet be able /
to get the Indians into camp without a .
fight"
