COILS TIGHTENING
AROUND TIE HOSTILE REDSKINS NEAR PINE
RIDGE AGENCY.
General Milss Thinks That he Has the Upper
Hand Of The Situation, Though Some Fear
Battle on Sunday-Ths Agent at
Pine Ridge IS Removed.

WASHINGTON, January s.-The In
dian situation as summed up at the In
terror Department to-day is about as
follows: There are in all about 10000
Sioux Indians, men, women and chill
dren on the Northern reservations. OF
this number IL, 500 are accounted for as
they are living on the reservations in
peace, and not taking any part in the
present disturbance. This leaves about
3. 500 men, women and children TO face
the earthworks, the hOwitzerS and the
5000 men now under command Of Gen.
Miles. The hostile camp is located
about Il miles north OF the Agency
and the Gordon OF troops sur
round the hostile's camp with
the exception OF the south side, the OBJ
ject being to drive the Indians to the
reservation. There is constant cOmmu-
nieation between the hostile camp and
the agency. The hOstileS are well sup
piled with beef, but they have no sugar
or coffee, except aS they are supplied by
the "friendlies," as the reservation In
dians are called. While the situation is
regarded us a hopeless one for the In
danS, yet it is believed they have noln-
tentiOn Of surrendering. There are
fears of battle on Sunday. When the
hopeleSSneSs of the Indians fighting
against such odds is pointed out, the In
dian explanation given is, "the Indians
are crazy"

Gen. Miles REPORT on the Brutal Murder
of Lieut.. Casey.


WASHINGTON, January S.-Gen. Scho-
field to-day received another telegram
from Gen. Miles, dated Pine Ridge, >.
D., January :, detailing the e'rcum-
stances OF the killing OF Lieut.. Casey by
Indians, aS follows;
"The reports from Gen. Brooke state
that Lieut.. +. w. Casey, Twenty-Second
Infantry. was killed to-day. There has
been fighting and SkirmiShing on that
part of the line for several days. Lieut..
Casey was out with his scouts watching
the hostile camp. and, with one Chey-
enne. met two Indians, an Ogallalla and
a Brule. The Ogallalla warned Lieut..
Casey that the Brules were bad, and
would shoot. As Lieut.. Casey turned To
90 away the Brule fired, the bullet
striking him in the back OF the head
and killing him instantly. Lieut..
Casey was one OF the most brilliant and
beloved officers of the service. There Is
report of heavy firing in or near the
hostile camp that may be between the
two elements Of the Indian camp.
Secretary Proctor said this morning;
II do not know when have heard any
thing that has shocked me more than
the news of Lieut.. Casey'S death. lie
was here in the spring aud grew very
fond OF him; he seemed so bright ana
energetic and enthusiastic, and he had
surh excellent plans and ideas about the
Indian troubles. He gave me u number
of photographs which ] have here,
showing his methods Of work with his
bopd of scents. getting out logs TO build
their little camps near TT. Keogh. l
regarded him rs one OF the most prom
Ising men In the service. He seems to
have been brutally murdered, for there
was no fighting going on when he was
killed. An Iudian took advantage ol
conversation with him and shot him
from behind. His remains will be sent
East for interment in Rhode Island.
"The first dispatch received to-day
from Gen. Miles might indicate that the
Indian camp is diSintegrating were II
not for the fact that the lndlaaS men
tioped have generally been peaceaoiy
Inclined. The 20 Indians reported TO
have come in are likely to be friendiies

FIRM AS EVER.
No signs of "A Settlement Of Scotch Rail.
road Strike

GLASGOW, January s.-Another day
In the history OF the great Scotch rail
road strike has opened without any
signs OF definite improvement in the
situation being shown.
The railroad directors have repeated
ly announced that the strike was prac-
tically over, that the strikers were
beaten, and that the usual traffic upon
all the lines had been resumed. These
statements were believed at first, but
now ii seems that the utteranceS OF the
railroad officials were not correct.
In and aboat this neighbOrhood there
are still about &, 900 men out on a,strIke,
and IN spite Of the statements made by
the companies representatives, the
freight traffic is not being improved. On
the other hand the strikers are cOntinu-
ally receiving Financial and moral sup
port from the various trades unions
throughout Great Britain. Though the
sums received by each striker are small
and far from being sufficient to keep
their families from suffering, the aid
received enables them to keep up the
fight against the railroad companies. n
The general public Is longing for some
kind OF a settlement 10 be arrived at be-
tween the companies and their employees.
The Glasgow Presbytery has appointed
a strong committee to endeayor to Sc
cure 4 compromise.
The officials of the Caledonian rail-
road, in a manifesto issued this morn
ing, promised to consider the grievances
ef ;hc strikers who would promptly re-
sumo work. In reply to this a number
OF drivers and iiremen returned to work
during the afternoon. This action on
the part OF the men referred to create Il
small riot. The sO-called ''deserterS"
from the ranks OF the strik-
ers were booted ut peted
with stones by those Of the
strikers determined not To surrender.
The railroad officials called upon the
police to protect the men who had gone
back TO work. The police then charged
the strikers and arrested six Of their
ring leaders. The captured strikers
were taken to police station in the
vicinity of the disturbance, followed by
a mob OF bowling non, women and
children. The six prisoners were locked
up, and all will be charged with riOtous
conduct. II is feared by their friends
that the magistrates will deal severely
with them
