In Bad Shape-The situation at Manitoba
Not Regarded Serious.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. 13.-
General Miles determined Monday
morning not to parley nor confer again
with the Indians. He sent a messenger
to the hostiles camped at the Mission,
stating his terms. He said they must
come into the agency in small squads
and go into camp on their grounds near
the friendly Indians. He would not OBJ
ject if they chose their own camping
grounds, but the Bl1Iles and Ogalallas
must not camp together and they must
submit to the laws governing the reser-
walton and to the agent. Shots were
heard on the outskirts of the camp yes
terday morning. but they were stray
shots fred by the piclets.
All the hostiles reached the Mission,
five miles out, late Sunday night. The
troops pressed them closely and guarded
all avenues of escape. The delay in ar
irving was due to the lack of transporta-
ton. The head of the band reached the
agency at noon Monday and the balance
are slowly coming in. But few of them
are armed. having hid their arms in the
sand hills. 1t has been decided to not
attempt to disarm them, for the reason
that they can easily procure arms from
the traders.
General Miles has divided the hostiles
at the agency. The Brules were left at
the Mission. while the Ogalallas were
ordered in. The Brules will be sent to
Rosebud Agency, where they belong,
under guard of troops. No railroad
trains will be used, but the party will
be sent overland. Already the Indians
have begun packing up their goods,
preparatory to marching home. General
Miles saws that the Indians are in bad
shape and they have done well to get in
as soon as they did. There is rejoicing
at Pine Ridge over the peaceful out
come of the war. The Ogalallas were
delighted to get back to the agency.
The Brules We're little sullen, but now
that the Ogalallas have left them they
see the futility of attempting to fight.
That the war is over is the general
opinion of all.
Scout Gourard reports that the saw
ages are wild and growing more uneasy
as they approach the agency. They
fear they are going to be swept off the
face of the earth for the deviltry they
have committed. The crisis will be
reached when the savages go into camp
here. Then it will only take spark to
set off the whole magazine. Artillery
men were galloping through the camp
yesterday, placing heavy guns in more
commanding positions. Everything is
now so arranged that any hostile dem
onstrations on the part of the savages
will be met by fire which will instant
ly crush them.
Father Craft was seen yesterday. The
venerable priest is slowly improving.
He was asked what he thought of a
peaceful settlement. He said: THE
situation is very serious and the Indians
must be very carefully handled or there
will be more trouble"
"What is the cause of this war?"
"The Indians have been starved and
left Naked not this year only, but for
years"
BISMARCK, n. D., Jan. Ex-Governor
Burke has received dispatches from Ad-
iutant General Dewey, NJ ajor Mckee
and Captain Yorkey, who are Mt Botti-
neau, stating that the situation on the
Manitoba border is not serious No
outbreak has occurred, though the In
dams are dancing and firing their guns
day Gnd night. The settlers have fled
from their homes by the score, and this
fact leads Governor Burke to do every
thing in his power to prevent an upris'
ing and allay excitement.
The Governor has shipped $50 stands ol
arms from Bismarck to be distributed al
Bottineau. He also telegraphed Sena-
tor Casey to see that 1000 stand OF
rifles and Gatling gun were for
warded by the War Department atonce
