special to the Journal from Pine Ridge
confirms the report Of an engagement
between General Cars command and
the Indians on White river. It is be-
lieved no one was killed, though several
Indians were wounded. An Indian
courier brings message from the hos
tile camp, the substance Of which is a
demand that all soldiers Withdraw from
the locality, and further that they will
treat with no one for peace but the Vice
President or the Commissioner Of In
dian Affairs.
This message came from the hitherto
supposed friendly chief, Red Cloud.
Rowing bands continue to scout the
country in the vicinity Of Pine Ridge.
A man named Miller, formerly Gov
eminent scout, was found five miles
from the agency. His body was riddled
with bullets. Many persons coming in
tell OF narrow escapes. The Indian
Training School at Pine Ridge was
burned last night, no loss Of life result
ing.
special IRON Pine Ridge says: Last
night was one Of feveish excitement to
many at the agency. The friendly spies
all say that there are large number Of
warriors in the enemy's camp who have
worked themselves up toa condition ol
frenzy similar to those who committed
suicide at Wounded Knee; they say
they want to die and are going to die
while killing white men.
The end cannot be reached without
one or more battles, and bloody ones, NJ
there are too many Of the crazy ghost
dancers who only want to follow the ex-
ample Of their Big Foot relatives.
General Miles sent out letter yester-
day asking for a hearing. The Indians
tore the letter to fragments and threw
them into the fire, saying, I'VE not
treat; we are here to fight" Last night
several shots were fired by our pickets,
and couple OF arrows were thrown
into the yards. Doctors are constantly
arriving, there being no less than
fifteen here, with large corps
Of assistants. A delegation Of friend
lies ask that large party be
sent out at once to aid those who desire |
10 escape from the hostiles.
A Be: special from Rushyille, says:
Gordon, Neb., advices say that two
scouts, Just arrived, confirm the report
made last night OF ,,le north Of this
place. The fight 'Fua between the
indians and a detachment sent out By
General Miles from Rosebud Agency to |
bury the dead Indians Killed at |
Wounded Knee battle Of the 20.h. The
hostile Sioux objeCting to the burial OF
their dead by their pale faced foes,
opened tre and after desperate and
sharp firing OF the Hotchkiss gun were
forced 10 return to the protection OF the
friendly ravines. No deaths are reported.
Another Pine Ridge special says: The
army Of Indians now surrounded by
General Miles soldiers on White Clay
creek, number over 1000 men, women
and children, most of them from the
upper Dakota reservations.
This war will not be ended except by |
one OF the bloodiest in the history OF In.

ERA OF NSgRRHCTI0N

nation Concerning the Trou.
ble-..A Battle Reported.

san FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan. 4.-Latl
advices from Caroline Islands state thai
an era Of insurrection and bloodshed sei
in among the natives and Spanish troops
quartered in this group. The fact thai
Admiral Belknap dispatched the cruiser
Alliance to Ponapi to protect the Ameri.
can missionaries whose lives and prop.
erty were threatened equally by Spani.
ards and natives was made known several
days ago. Correspondence from Asiaic
stations say it is not merely American
residents; every white person on the
islands, and spanisrds in particular, are
fearful Of having their property stolen
and being murdered.
A traveller named Anderson, who has
been engaged in inter.island commerce
for several years, returned to Juliut, in
the Matshall group, lately, bringing
startling intelligence OF the trouble and
It's causes. He says that the natives are
a superior species OF their race. They
did not object to the coming OF the
Spaniards until the latter induced Spain
10 proclaim a protectorate over the
group. Quite recently tho Spanish
officials increased native taxation, which
mas always been repughant feature OF
their administration. The natives were
oppressed by this new levy and their re-
fising to pay it was the leading cause Of
the existlng troubles. Moreover, the
troops on the islands are in many in.
stances drunken, riotous mobs. The
patiVes armed themselves and had sew
eral sharpsklrmishes with the Spaniards.
They were cut down like gtass by |
gattliDg guns and have now retreated
INTO the bush country. The Spanish !
soldiers followed them and were in turn
decimated by the hidden enemy. The
var cry against the whites has been
sounded through all the islands.

annual appropriation bills remains to be
acted upon by the Senate. The feeling
Of impatience which this condition ol
the public business has aroused has
gathered strength every day and the
significant remarks uttered in debate
last week by Senators Of recognized
influence appear to have had the effect
of bringing the Senate nearer to change
OF the programme that has held sway
since Congress met in December last.
