 PINE RIDGE, Jan. 12-Kicking Bea
 writes that he will surrender, but thii IS regarded with considerable doubt.
 The hostiles are moving toward Pine Ridge agency slowly, having fifty badly wounded in charge.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 12--The Suns Pine Ridge special says: ,The hostiles burned several cabins several miles from the agency yesterday morning The columns of deuse smoke were seen in the west. It is said Young Man Afraid -of-His Horses cabin was among the burned. Government scouts report that the h. dians are without a head and that in their frenzy they sare destroying their own property and beating their own people. They are all in paint. Hostile scouts can be seen in the distance through field glasses. Mounted guards were posted today behirtl the earth works on the hills surrounding the agency. Two hostile shots were fired from the ridge east of the camp yester- day morning.
 Captain Taylor, chief of scouts, re- ceived today letters from Short Bull and Kicking Bear, chiefs of the hostile Brules, saying that all the hostiles would surrender at the agency tomor- row with all their people.
 But these letters mean nothing, for thet change thoir minds as often as they make them up. The desire of the hos tales to come in, if they have expressed any such desire, is prompted by the ap- proach of troops. Soldiers are slowly pressing against the big village. The roopers ire closer together than they have been, and the concentration will be sill more complete tomorrow.
 Scouts report that the soldiers are so close to the hostiies that skirmishes are frequent, day and night.
 The assassination of Lieutenant Casey by sou in-law of Old Corn, one of the survivors of Big FOot's band, caused panic in the village of tho hos5iles. which has not yet quieted. On Wednes day, when Lieutenant Casey was killed, Red Cloud says he did everything in his power to prevent it and to save the officer. Young Jack says he fired five shots at the murderer after the assassi- nation.
 Later in the day Red Cloud was told of plot to kill him. His son Jack and family ma } preparations to get the old man out of the village. His son snug !lAd him out of the village and then his daughter took him by the hand and led lim on foot through the snow over eighteen miles of country to the agency.
 Red Cloud is now very blind. With put the help of his daughter he would have lest his way in tie biz sard. Twlce during the fight one of the amous chiefs of the Drules fired at him. Red Cloud and his daughter laid down n the snow until the firing ceased.
 "The shooting was like this," Red Cloud said, as he clapped his hands to- yether very fast. After Young Jack had seen his father go he tried to get Little Wound out of the village in the same way, but the Brules discovered the plan md frustrated 1t.
 When the Sun correspondent asked Red Cloud the strength of the Brules, who are causing all the trouble, the old chief ran on the fingers and thumb of
 
 ,rs," the interpreter said, mot counting i'd men, women and children. or 5000 Ill told. With the Ogallales, who are still with tine hostiles, the camp num- Ders 1000 souls" The Brules, Red Cloud says, are armed as well as the soldiers Red Clouds story shows the magnitude ,f the enemy. It is understood that whether the hostiles surrender or not ,hey will be disarmed and dismounted.
 It cost the Seventh cavalry eighty ,hree officers and pr.vates to diSarm 150 ,f the Brules. It is believed here the lostiles on White Clay Rock will never give their rlaes and ponies up without ight. Pine Ridge is very likely to be he center of the fight of the savages for his is the funnel through which they must run, if they stampede, as we'll as he place where their disarmament will ,ake place. When young Red Cloud ,ame into the agency yesterday, he brought oIc , i Lieutenant Casey's re- volvers The other has been stolen Lieutenant Casey's watch and portion )f his uniform were also taken by the nurderers. The committee that has been Investigating Col. Forsythe's manage nent of troops at Wounded Knee has finished its work. It will make state nent exonerating Col. Forsythe.
 CHICAGO, Jan. PA special from Pine Ridge agency says: Colonel For sythe will be cleared. Upon that point there IS but little doubt. The investigat- ing committee has completed its work and while its members have made no re-
