the Information and guidance Of aflcon-
cerned:
Tie First infantry battalion Of the Sixth
cavalry and battalion of the Ninth cavalry
will remain in the field unless ordered as
follows: After the Brule Indians have
taken their departure and have been en-
route few days the Sixth cavalry will
proceed to Fort Niobrara and there take
station. The commanding officer will
furnish Capt Lee with such detachment
as he may request to accompany him to
Rosebud Agency.
A detachment Of the Sixth cavalry UNI
der a commissioned officer will also be sent
with party Of Indians going to Cheyenne
River Agency, $. Oak, with the Indian
Iron Thunder; on completion of that duty
1t will return TO its station at Fort Mo
brnra. The remainder of the command
will exercise the same military supervisions
over the Indians at this place they have
maintained during the last few months
and have them abandon all appearances or
purposes Of hostility and return to their
former homes. Should it be found that
any of the hostile element still retains
arms they will be required to turn them
into their agents as others have done.
All Indians except those in the military
service, friendly as well as others, will be
informed that they will not be expected or
permitted to carry arms. AT the end of
thirty days, should tranquility be MAIN
tanned, the First infantry will be returned
to the department of California and at
the end of sixty days, should the same
condition of peace exist, Maj Henry will
Withdraw his command to Fort Robinson,
the same to be replaced at Pine Ridge by
other troops should circumstances require.
MAJ. GEN. MILES, Commanding.
Chiefs to Go to Washington
Gen. Miles has selected the following
named chiefs to go to Washington
Young Man-Afraid-of His Horses, Amer
lean Horse Fire Thunder and Hump, of
the friendlies and Little Wound, Big
Road, He Dog, Two Strike, High Hawk
and High Pipe, of the hostiles. Some
surprises are expressed over the selec-
ton as ii was thought Red Cloud
would certainly go, and as Short Bull
and Kicking Bear have been among The
most prominent hostiles Gen. Miles
takes with him to Chicago forty Indians
who will go to Washington later on UNI
der the care of the war department.
Gen. Miles desires that they should go to
Luc CdIlUOl uHucT llle care OF military
officer.
1t is openly said here that Agent Lewis
was sent out here because the interior
department wishes to control and revise
everything that reaches the public from
the chiefs concerning their grievances,
and | know positively that Special Agent
Lewis has specified instructions to con-
ceal from the newspapers the route he
will take, and not to permit either the
chiefs or the inspectors to be inter-
viewed, There are strong hints that
this investigation viii show gross irregu-
larities in the management of Sioux af-
fairs.
When the delegation reaches WASH
ington it will unanimously ask for the
appointment of Mr.. James H. Cook, of
Harrison, Neb, as their agent. A big
council was held Sunday night and the
delegation was instructed to ask for
Mr.. Cooks appointment. The Indians
did not know whether Red Cloud would
go to Washington or not, but they de-
cidod if he did go he should speak first
to the president.
