PINE RIDGE, Jan. 14.-At midnight every
thing is quiet at the hostile camp although
the scouts say some of the young bucks are
indulging in ghost dances.
This afternoon second delegation of
chiefs arrived, Kicking Bear, Lance, High
Hawk and Eagle Pipe They had a long
talk with General Miles, the same subjects
being considered as in the morning con
ference 1t was agreed the hosJiles would
leave their present camp and pitch
their tepees on the west side
OF. White Clay creek Immediately op
posite and less than half mile from
the agency buildings. It was also decided
the Indians should surrender their arms to
their respective chiefs, to be turned over to
Agent Pierce. He would receipt for them,
place the name of each man upon his gun,
sell them and return the proceeds to the In
dams. 1t was also decided the chiefs
would attempt to control their young men,
and falling IN this, would themselves arrest
those VINO refused TO act as good Indians,
and turn them over to the agent.
General Miles was pleased with the
friendly disposition manifested by the
chiefs and proposed to allow them several
| days in which to redeem their promises

talk with General Miles. Among the points
was novel one that the Indians demanded
the abolition of the Rosebud agency. the
establishment of one more general and the
selection OF Pine Ridge as such. The reason
they advanced was the Indians were con-
tinually going from one agency to another
contrasting the methods of each and long

claim to have experienced at Rosebud.
This proposition, Eagle Pipe said, who is
one of the most influential Rosebud or Brule
chiefs, General Miles had promised to con-

manded the surrender of the young men
who killed Lieutenant Casey, and
they promised to accede to the demand.
He also said they would make every effort
to control the young men; that they had
been recently indulging in the ghost dance
that there were only few of them and
that they generally discontinued it when
he advised them to do so. He said they did
not get enough food to keep them alive.

breastworks in the vicinity were strength
