tor-rhc Camp viii lie Taken To-day.
OMAHA. Jan. Ga World Herald special
( ON Pine Ridge says: Everything now
points 10 battle, and disastrous one.
However, it will not be between the troops
and the hostiles. but between the hostiles
and the iriendlies who desire 10 leave the
hostile camp and come into the agency.
OLD RED CLOUD WANTS To RETURN.
Red Cloud has signfed his desire to r.
turn To- the agency, but he is nearly blinr,
and no one will volunteer to lead him in
for the brutes threaten death TO the hrst
person that attempts to desert the hostile
hnd. This is causing trouble. The older
bucks want to come in, but the young bucks
insist on lighting.
MEDICINE MEN LOSING sTENGTH.
The caioleries OF the medicine men are
fast losing strength. Their deception about
tie ghost shirt being bullet proof has caused
the older Indians 10 think that peace Is more
desirable than war. The Gordon OF troops
is drawing tighter around the hostles
This Is shown by the discovery less than a
mile from Pine Ridge Of a bunch OF cows
shot with arrows. Evidently the indians
are trying 10 cut off a small body Of settlers
to get arms and ammunition.
ON GUARD DAY AND NIGHT.
The hOstiles are on guard day and night.
Fires are being burned at night TO prevent
any one from escaping from their camps

Miles has sent a peace commission to the

shell guns are being placed on all sides OF
the camp, and at the command q mur-

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.-What appears
to have been n bold and extensive
scheme TO defraud the government in
importations of Havana tobacco is be-
ing unearthed by the special treasury
agents at the custom house. There are
stored in the bonded warehouse of this
port $4,000 bales of Havana tobacco
averaging about 800 pounds to the bale,
all OF which was entered as filters"
dutiable at thirty-five cents per pound.
BY direction of the treasury department.

tobacco. They have found that about
ninety per cent of the tobacco exam

Inc onlcers refuse at present to give
the names of the importers alleged to
be in the conspiracy. They are few in
number. The loss to the government
would have been many thousand dol

are not paid. There is reason to be-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-It is rumored
here that CHILEAN affairs are approach
ing n crisis The CHILEAN government
has issued its final response to the
United States in regard to the killing
of American sailors at Valparaiso.
and it is said that the reply is anything
but satisfactory.
1t is believed in Washington that af-
fairs are in n very strained condition
and war is possible. Confidence in this
belief was strengthened Wednesday by
an extraordinary order. 1t states
that hereafter the movement of naval
vessels shall not be published, and
shall not be given out of the depart
ment.
NEW YORK, Dec. 1S-The Herald has
"a dispatch from Valparaiso, stating
that there is certain knowledge as to
the existence of a plot either to set fire
to the United States legation, or to the
adjoining house. in order to furnish q
pretext for n mob to enter and snck the
legation, and thus secure the refugees.

WARLIKE MOOD.
Tho Navy Department. MifYod ct
the Chilians.
President Harrison May Send . Special
Message to Congress- Prociaiming the
Necessity of Resorting to
Extreme Measures.

NEW YORK, Dec IA special from
Washington to the Herald says the
navy department is in warlile mood.
1t was stated about the department.
Wednesday that the Chilians are delay-
ing their reply to our demand for infor-
nation concerning the Valparaiso incl
dent for the purpose of gaining time SO
that their new war vessel, Captain Pratt
which will be the most formidable of
their feet. Is completed.
The situation thus outlined was dis.
cussed with eagerness and the opin-
ion was freely advanced that President
Harrison would in all likelihood take
measures to checkmate Chilli in this
matter by sending n special message to
congress in the next two weeks, recit-
ing the fact that explanation and re-
paration had been demanded of Chilli
without avail, and proclaiming the
necessity of informing Chilli that this
country will resort to extreme meas
ures If the desired response is further
delayed beyond n reasonable and speci-
fed time.
The wisdom of this course, il is ar
gued. would be apparent The Captain
Pratt is now building in France, and
can not be finished in loss than two
months or more. Meanwhile, il Presi-
dent Harrison and congress should
cause declaration of war by the
United States against Chilli it would
prevent France from delivering the
vessel to Chilli, and would save New
York and other Atlantic cities from
danger of bombardment by that vessel
In case of war the advantages of this
move would be apparent.
