The Reported Battle.

Our promised "full particulars" of

a dispatch dated Pine Ridge Agency,

Behind thcm is a natural Rmphi-

The End Approaches.

The latest news from the scene Of
tho Iudian wur in Dakota Ia O dis.
patch dated Pine Ridge. Jan. IA,
from which We condonse the follow
ing:
General Miles final coup came alb.
solutely unexpected tonight. The
.circlet surrounding tho Indians was
narrowed on all sides at sunset, and
when darkness fell tho troops in all
the Generals various forces were
cnmped within sight Of tho mooney.
Tho Rods wore like 30 many rats in n
steel trap. It was a fitting climax TO
a remarkable day, occupied mostly In
negotiations. General Miles, it ia
needless to say, enforced his Vows In
tho council as absolutely as in tho
fold. Tho defcnt OF tho Indians was
complete; the chiefs ~sgreeinR not
only TO disarmament, but 10 the sur.
render Of the assassins Of Calitornia's

AS n preliminary to successful no.
gotiotions tho hostiles were literally
supplied last night with hard tack,
coioo end sugar, and made tho night
hideous with their bowls Of rejoicing.
Some correspondents not acquainted
with tho facts rushed Of Vi midnight
accounts OF a ghost dance, warriors
escaping and a stampede. Tho facts
arc that General Miles Is succeeding
admirably. The Indians are quoting
down rapidly, and II looks like a sue
