Iaj. General.

Reports from the seat of war give the
news of another encounter between the
troops and Indians at a point within
four miles of the agency. The Seventh
and Ninth cavalry were just coming in
from Mondays battlefield, followed by
their provision train. On reaching the
point named a large band of Indians,
headed by Chef Two Strike, dashed sud-
denly upon the train, captured it and
were making off towards the Bad Lands,
when the cavalry wheeled and gave pur-
suit. In the battle which followed over
thirty Indians were wounded. One col
ored soldier was killed and one wounded.
