The Government Urged to Carry Out Its
Promises to the Sioux.
WASHINGTON, April17-CaptainP Penney,
U. S. A., Acting Indian Agent at Pine
Ridge, has written. under date of April
7th, a long letter to the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs relative to the situation at
Pine Ridge. He says the Indians look upon
the recent legislation by Congress as an
other promise, but their confidence Is some
what strengthened by the performance of
the agreement as to rations. He urges,
however. that the recent legislation be car
ried into effect with all proper speed. He
says that danger is to be apprehended of
future trouble, and the basis of his conclu-
sion is upon the fact that the people are in a
state of unrest. They have not begun their
farming. Their houses and property were
plundered, and there is feeling of discOur-
agement and conviction that it is hardly
worth while to try again, as there may be
another war

NEW YORK, April l7.-Messrs. Flint &

stating that the Chilean Congress held its

state that, as all provisions have to be

and Atacama is a difficult one. They are
subjected to enormous expenses without
having revenue through the export of nj

Government abandoned those ports, the in
