CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-Captain Higgins,
at army division headquarters here, re-
ceived dispatch this evening from AS
sistant Adjutant-General Corbin, at
Pine Ridge, saying a number Of Indians
are coming into the. agency from the

patch the general situation had not
greatly changed from the day preceding.

expressed by one old Indian, who today
put in an appearance at Pine Ridge. He
declared that the trouble is that too
many lies are. passing in both directions
between the agency and the Sioux
camp. The inference is that when the
real situation becomes clearer on both
sides the end will be less distant than it
has been made to appear.

telegram to General Miles under yester-
days date:
"You are hereby authorized under the
existing orders OF the president to assign
Captain Ewers of the Fifth infantry,
Captain Lee of the Ninth infantry. Cap
tain Earnest of the Eighth infantry, and
Captain Pierce of the First infantry, to
take charge of the Indians OF the several
Sioux and Cheyenne agencies; to exer-
else over them such military supervision
and control as in your Judgment is
necessary, without interfering unneces-
sarily with the administration OF the
agents OF the Indian bureau, under the
regulations and instructions received by
them from the interior department"
AGENT ROYER ALONE REMOVED.
Secretaries Proctor and Noble and
General Schofield had conference at
the war department this afternoon in
regard to the Indian troubles, and agreed
to appoint an officer OF the army as
agent OF the Indians at Pine Ridge
agency, thus necessitating the retire.
ment OF Indian Agent Royer from that
duty. The officer appointed will, how
ever, retain his position in the army.
The Indian agents at other agencies will
not be disturbed, but as shown I'M Gen
eral Schofield's telegram Of the 9th in
slant, to General Miles, army offIcers
have been designated to take military
control OF four other agencies, with in
structions to cooperate with the agents
Of the interior department. The report
that these agents have been displaced,
is without foundation, except so far as
relates to Pine Ridge agency.
Captain Pierce, OF the First infantry,
has been selected as agent at Pine Ridge
agency, and will probably be appointed
by the president tomorrow.
A message embodying the facts given
above has been sent by General Scho-
field to General Miles.
PROCTOR AND NOBLE HARMONIZE,
Secretary Proctor is considerably ex-
ercised over the newspaper reports OF
controversy between the war and inte-
rior departments in regard to the man
agement of the Indian campaign. He
said this afternoon that the departments
were in perfect harmony in the matter.
and authorized most emphatic denial
of any report indicating the slightest
friction between the two departments.
