ANOTHER CALL FOR ARMS.
A Big Indian Scare in Okanogan County
Washington.

Washington.
PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 1O.-The Ore
gonian's special from Olympia, Wash,
says: Acting Governor Laughton this
afternoon received dispatch from the
county commissioners of Okanogan
county, dated at Concully, stating that
on Thursday night one OF the Indians
implicated in the murder of Freighter
Coles a few weeks ago, was taken from
jail and lynched. The telegram also
stated that g Catholic priest had warned
the settlers that indignation ran high
among the Okanogan Indians, who had
held four councils, and it was likely
they would 60 on the warpath. The
officers in conclusion asked for 500
stands Of arms and ammunition to arm
the settlers.
The governor, after consultation with
Adjutant-General O'Brien, decided to
send 200 stands of arms tomorrow. The
governor then notified Brigadier-G General
Curry, OF Spokane Falls, that arms
would be sent, and instructing him to
see that they were delivered to the
county commissioners.
Governor Laughton also telegraphed
General Gibbon, commander of the
division of the Pacific, tonight, asking
him to send a company of cavalry to
the Okanogan country. 1t is expected
that soldiers will be ordered from Fort
Spokane.

REITER's RETORT.
He Claims to Be Unjustly Censured and
Demands o Trial.


Demands q Trial.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The following
letter has been directed to the secretary
N, who was severely censured by the
secretary for his conduct in the Barrun-
dia affair:
PITTsBuRG, Pa, Jan. 8.
SIR: / have to acknowledge the re-
ceipt OF the departments letter of the
31st of December. 1890. The letter was
mailed in Washington on the 9th day
of January, and received by me on the
9TH. 1t was foreshadowed by the press
of the United States January 1st and 3D.
An extract from it, containing the most
severe censure of the department., ap-
pears in the press of the country today.
The letter then became to the general
public, unfamiliar with the true facts of
the case, a severe public repri-
mand" to me, punishment which
can only be legally inflicted,
by sentence of naval general court
martial. was detached from the COM
mand of the Ranger by the department
by order of the 29th of September, 1890
and the letter is the first written state
ment of the departments ground of
action. Extracts from it having been,
given to the press for publication before
could possibly reply to it, now con-
tent myself by simply declaring that
when in command of the Ranger on the.
occasion in question was in no way
culpable, but discharged my whole duty;
that had no desire, nor did endeavorr
to escape any responsibility attaching
to nv position, and do not now fear
most searching inquiry in regard to my
action. AS I regard your letter as un-
just, undeserved and unwarranted, /
have to respectfully demand what is
clearly my right, namely, a trial before
a naval court.

THE EFFECT OF EDUCATION.
Few Of the Educated Indians Are Among
the Hostiles.

row VI tho EuucateO lnQlanS Are Am OnR
the Hostiles.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The Indian
bureau today received the following let
ter from Elaine Goodale, supervisor of
education at Pine Ridge: Your tele-
gram asking how many returned
students and parents OF school children
are among the hostiles, is received. 1t
is impossible to ascertain at present
just who the hostiles are. Some have
fled the agency from fear, and do not
necessarily assume a warlike attitude.
In a general way, however, it is safe
to say that those who participated
in the ghost dances, and subsequent
disturbances are of the wild or heather
element among the Sioux. The great
majority of the christian and educated
Indians remained loyal and steadfast at
a sacrifice of name and property and
risk OF their lives. / think those who
identified themselves with us during
this upheaval, and have thereby lost all
that they possessed, should be gener-
ously reimbursed for their losses. Fiji
teen or twenty christian men and
women OF Indian blood are now serving
as volunteer nurses in our church hos
pital, where we have thirty wounded
prisoners from the battle of the Wound

EARLIER REPORTS.
Evcry PrecautiOn Taken by General
Miles to Avoid Disaster.

Evcry PrecautiOn Taken by General
Miles to Avoid Disaster.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Jan. 10.-The re-
ports of yesterday that the hostiles had
at length made up their minds to return
to the agency, notwithstanding it is but
y repetition of.what had been. before an
nounced, attracts general attention. 1t
is now, however, generally believed
that, according to the alleged pro-
gramme, the hostiles are to camp to-
night at the mission, near the scene of
the engagement between General For
sythe and the Indians on the 10Th ult.
They will be met by detachment from
the agency and escorted to this place.
fsIE DANGER OF DISARMAMENT.
1t has not yet heen determined where
or when the Indians will be disarmed.
In fact, it is generally believed that
when disarming is attempted, trouble
may be expected. 1t is thought the
hostiles viii not be able to determine
whether they should be deprived Of
their arms and ammunition while the
alleged friendlies may traverse the
agency as they do now, almost armed to
the teeth. The selection Of spot in
which to disarm them is also serious
question. The work cannot be done in
the middle of the agency; neither can
it be done where the ground is broken.
The latter place would be the Indians
traditional fighting ground, and in case
of treachery great damage might be
done.
THE GORDON DRAWING CLOSER.
Meanwhile the Gordon Of troops in the
several commands Of Brooke, Carr,
Wheaton, Illsley, Sanford and Perry is
drawing closer around the hostiles, Gen
eral Miles today having issued orders
for an advance on all sides from three to
six miles. This move ls being made
with care. The principal idea is to
keep the Indians moving toward the
reservation, and at the same time to al
low them to halt on no spot on which
they might have an advantage over the
troops.
NONE BUT WHITES ON GUARD.
General Miles has ordered the dis
placement Of the Indian police who have
been on guard duty around the agency
He will supply their places with soldiers,
This move ID variously interpreted, hui
il seems patent, however, that the gen.
eral wants only y tite men on duty.

PocATELLo, Idaho, Jan. 1O.-A big
powwow was held today at Ross Fort
agency, at Fort Hall reservation, be-
tween the leading chiefs of the Shosho-
mes and Bannocks, on one side, and
General Curtis, of the state militia, and
Lieutenant Fred Wheeler, Fourth
United States cavalry, on the other.
The Indians were asked if they had any
cdkse OF complaint, or proposed to make
trouble with the whites. The Indians
replied that they had no intention Of
causing trouble. but were anxious to
work for themselves, and keep peace
with the whites. The conference closed
with hand-shaking around, and the In
dians seemed much pleased with the re-
suit.
The following telegram wac received
from General Gibbon, commanding the
department vof California: Following
just received from the commanding
officer at Boise barracks, Idaho: Il
have just received reliable information
that there is no outbreak Of the Fort
Hall Indians, and do not apprehend

A BATTLE TO-DAY.
Buffalo Bill Says the Ball is About to
Open.

Open.
ST. LOUIS, Jan 1O.-A special to the
Dispatch from its staff corresponds
ent at Rushville, Neb., says Buffalo
Bill is reported to have made the state-
ment today that the ball will open to-
morrow.
The Post-Dispatch also has thdofollow-
ing special, dated today, from Rush
vile, Neb.: "The crisis has been
reached and general battle is looked
for tomorrow. circumstances are fore
ing the conclusion OF the hostilities,
and parleying will not be longer contin-
ued by either side. The Indians said
yesterday General Miles must prepare
to fight or get off the reservation. Gen
eral Miles, it is said, has given the In
dians until tonight to surrender, and if
they do not come in by that time he
will close in on them. This is
made necessary by the condition
of his men. Those ON the north
side have been pretty well worn out
with camp line, in this bleak climate,
and long cold marches from one posi-
ton to another. They cannot stand it
much longer. Unless matters are soon
brought to an end, the Indians will
have no one to oppose them but worn
out and fiozen-out soldiers who are un-
fit for duty. The condition of the SOL
diers has been exceptional, and they
have, borne their hardship without a
murmur.
All last night signal lights were flesh
ing between Pine Ridge and Rosebud.
The hostiles' preparations are being
made for fight, and every one here
anticipates the bloodiest battle ever
fought In this country. Tho wives and
families of the officers who are at Pine
Ridge agency were sent east last night.

General Miles, dated Pine Ridge. Janu.
ary 9th, as follows: "The commission
appointed to consider the condition oil
the Cheyenne Indians at this place and
IN Montana, unanimously recommend
the removal OF these Indians to Fort
keogh reservation. There are already
250 at Fort Keogh, and the men are en-
listed as scouts. These scouts came
southeast under Lieutenant Casey, and
were Joined by nearly all the able
bodied men from the agency. Together
they have done most valuable and
hazardous service in fighting and harass-
ing the hostile Sioux, and ii there is no
objection, I will, when this affair
closes, at once transfer them to Fort
Keogh, as an act Of justice and good
policy, and in accordance with the
recommendation of the Cheyenne COM
mission
PROSPECTS ARE FAVORABLE.
General Schoield received the follow
ing telegram from General Miles, dated
Pine Ridge, yesterday:
"Quite number of Indians came in
today in small parties, and gave assur-
ances that large body would move in
this direction tomorrow for the purpose
of surrendering, and the troops have
been directed to follow. The prospects
at present look favorable as far as 1 can
judge from Indications"
MORE FAVORABLE REPORTS,
The Indian bureau has a dispatch
from Agent Waugh, at DEVILS Lake,
stating that there is no danger of
trouble at Turtle Mountain agency.
A communication was also received
from Agent Palmer, at Cheyenne River
agency, highly commencing the Indian
police for services rendered among the
disaffected Indians. - 4

gram from Agent Mclaughlin, at Stand
ing Rock, denying the rumors OF trouble

Associated Press Dispatches.


PINE RIDGE, Jan. 1O.-A courier from
the hostiles to General Miles, at 10 &c
tonight, announced that they had
reached the mission, about five miles
distant, and that they would reach here
tomorrow. The greatest uncertainty
prevails here as to the outcome Of; to.
morrow.
PREPARED FOR, THE WORST.
The greatest precautions have been
taken to guard against any surprise.
The breastworks have been strength
ened, artillery has been placed on site
commanding the friendly camp and the
roads leading into the agency. HOtch-
kiss guns cover other approaches, and
detachments OF the Seventh cavalry and
First infantry are stationed at the most
advantageous points.
This afternoon pickets were sent out
quite a distance from the agency, and
the Indian police and scouts about the
agency have been reinforced by num-
Der OF whites. 1t was deemed better to
do this than relieve the Indians alto
gether, as at first contemplated.
General Miles and staff inspected all
the approaches and defenses this after
noon. General Miles expressed himself
satisfied. Nothing now remains save to
wait for what the arrival OF the hostiles
tomorrow may bring forth.
1t is learned late tonight that General
Miles does not contemplate disarming
the Indians at present, and it is init
mated that the disagreeable task will
De left to the leaders of the various
bands.
Couriers in today from General Brooke
and his command on White Clay creek,
brought word that all were we'll and
enduring the cold weather with pa
tience.
WOUNDED KNEE VICTIMS.
This afternoon another squaw who
was wounded At Wounded Knee died, !,
and wahey she was being buried two
morc xcre brought to the ascncy IN 1
terrible condition. They said they were
wounded in the fight, dragged them
selves off to ravine and sheltered
themselves az best they could. During
the blizzard since that time they have
been crawling to the agency. They
said four other women and three men,
all wounded, who started out with them,
died on the road.
The officers conducting the investiga-
tion into the Wounded Knee fight will
complete their work tomorrow and sub
NIT their report to General Miles, who
will forward it to the president.
To the correspondent OF the Associated
Press, one OF the officers of the Seventh
cavalry said: ''The story that we shot
down women and children is lie. The
fact is, nothing was left undone to save
them. heard many men cry: Don't
shoot That's woman The people
who killed women and children were
Indians themselves"
Fewer Indians came in today than
any day this week. General Miles has
decided to separate the Ogallalas from
the Brules when they come in, as the
former are said to be strongly inclined
to peace, while the latter are radical
hostiles.

Raising the Age Of Consent.

CALCUTTA, Jan. 1O.--The government

Gil the bill 80 long talked Of, raising the
minimum age OF girls consent from ten
to twelve years. Sir Chunder Mitter, a
Bengalese member, strongly opposed
the change, contending that the Hindoo
scripture authorized marriage to be con-
summated before IL years of age. He
claimed that the bill violated the gov
ernment's pledge to abstain from inter-
ference in the social or religious customs
of the people, and that it would arouse
popular opposition.

VIRGINIA, New, Jan. 1O.-Johnson
Sides, the Piute premier and most in
telligent aud trusted man among the
Nevada Indians, and Captain Sam,
whose jurisdiction extends over the
Piute tribe, in western Nevada, deny
the truth of the report that there is any
danger of an uprising of the Indians in
this state. Johnson Sides says the In
dians here are too intelligent to begin
hostiities. They are aware that they
would get the worst of it,. He says that
should any of the young Piute bucks
become restless, they will be sent to
Paradise Lake reservation. In the opin-
ion of johnson Sides, Jack Wilson, the
alleged Indian Messiah, located at
Walker lake, is half crazy. He pro-
noupces the rumor false that there is
dissatisfaction among the Piutes inth1
vicinity of Fort Dermitt.
