PINE RIDGE, SD, Jan. 15.-The Indians
are coming in at this writing (noon). They
string along the west bank of the White
Clay. They are mounted, walking, riding
| on wagons and in fact are advancing in
| every manner known to them. They are
| driving and leading immense herds of po-
pies. Some of them are entering the
| friendlies' camp; others are pitching their
| tepees on the west bank of the White CLAY.
These are the Ogallallas. The Brules, how
| ever, are camping in the bottoms around
Red Clouds house and half mile from
the agency. 1t is not likely that all the
tepees will be pitched before evening. The
scouts estimate the number of lodges at
742 and the Indians at no fewer than 3, 400.
The Indian camp two miles from the agen-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The following
important kilograms bearing on Indian
matters were made public to-day at the
war department.
PINE RIDGE, S. D., Jan. IA.
Secretary of War-In order to restore
entire confidence among these Indians
| have found it necessary to send delega-
ton to Washington receive assurance of
the higher authority of the good intentions
of the government towards them. This
will answer double purpose, namely, sat
isfy them, bridge over the transition period
and peace, dispel distrust and hostility and
restore confidence. 1t will also be a per-
manent guarantee of peace while they are
| absent. 1 ask that my action may receive
the approval of the department by tele-
graph. Everything is progressing salts
factorily and can see no reason why per-
feet peace may not be established.
[Signed] N. A. MILES,
Maj. Gen. Commanding.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Is.
To General N. A. Miles, Major General
Commanding Pine Ridge, S. D.:
The secretary of war has conferred with
the president and the secretary of the in
terror in regard to your proposal to send a
delegation of the Sioux chiefs to Washing
ton, and they approve of your recommend
alton. The secretary of the interior has
sent an agent to conduct them. 1t is de-
sired that the delegation be as small as
possible-fve or six, or gilmore than ten.
If the delegation has already started tele-
graph at once number, route and COM
handing officer.

BRULEs ABANDON THEIR CAMP.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., jan 10
This afternoon the Brules abandoned their
proposed camp near Red Clouds house
and pitched their tepees with the Ogallal-
las, forming camp nearly mile and a
half in length, connecting with the friend
lies south of the agency. The main part
Clay Greek up the bluffs on the summit
| of which the Indians have posted pickets
| to prevent surprise. They took pos
session of the bluffs just about the time
| the main body reached its camping
| ground, suddenly appearing as display
party, both mounted and on foot, after
most approved military fashion. Since
nothing has been read or received from
the hostiles. All the guns and rifles and
Hotchkiss guns in the agency are
trained in that direction tonight
and the indications of life in
that quarter will be watched
with interest Tomorrow, it is ex-
pected the other chiefs will turn over the
arms of their followers, but it is doubted
whether the surrender will exhaust the
supply of the hostiles. The Indians of Big
Road have done in the matter of giving up
| their miserable weapons the same as the
| warriors of Big Foot did when the tepees
of the latter were searched for weapons.
There is doubt entertained, however, that
General Miles will order a searching Of
tepees for any more arms There is also
certainty that he will not seek for hid
den weapons in the Bad Lands or near the
camp sites which the hostlles have aband
oned. Such being the case the Indians will
scarcely miss the weapons which they have
surrendered or will voluntarily surrender
knowing that they may at any time re
gain poss- ssion of those which they hav'
temporarily stored away in their tepees o.
in the hills. General Miles has already as
sured the Indians that hereafter they will
have nothing to complain of SO far as thei
treatment by the government is concernen
