department is taking advantage of the
cessation of hostilities among the In
dians of the Dakotas and has of late
been gathering some authentic infor-
nation as to the probabilities of anoth-

Careful investigations have been
made by the officers of the army serv-
ing as agents at the Pine Ridge and
Rosebud agencies, and their reports are
not altogether reaSsuring.
In substance these officers assert that
there need or need not be trouble. just
as the government desires, An out
break can be prevented, or, on the
other hand. very little will fan the
slumbering feelings of the aborigines
into fierce flame. That is to say, the
whole eaSe rests upon the care exer-
eised in the distribution of the appro-
priations.
