WASHINGTON. Jam GA movement
will probably be started here for the
erection of statue to the memory of
the late Gen. Spinner, ex-treasurer of
the United States. 1t is proposed to
erect the memorial from funds con-
tIibuted wholly by women employed in
the government service, because Gen.
Spinner, it is claimed, first suggested
the general employment of women in
the Federal departments, although
women were employed in the Philadel-

made.

THE CIRCLE COMPLETED.
The Hostiles Completely Surrounded by
Troops.

The Hostiles Completely Surrounded by
Troops.
OMAHA, Jan. GA special from Pine
Ridge Sunday night said:
There is a circle drawn around the
hostile Indians now, it being completed
by the departure of Capt Grossly, of the
Seventh cavalry, with four troops for
Beaver creek, seven miles away. The
circle is drawn to the north and east
from there to Col Henry's com
mand, from thence to Col. Wheaton's,
thence to Col Stanfords, thence to Col
Wills, thence to Col Ofley's, thence to
Gen. Carr's, thence to Col Whitney's,
on the Wounded Knee battle ground,
and from there back to the agency.
No Chance to Escape.
BY this arrangement the Indians are
practically hemmed in. AT the princi-
pal railway stations along the edge of
the reservation state troops are quar-
tered. Gen, Miles said two Indians were
killed at the hostile camp in a fight
among themselves. The camp is nine
miles away. Some wanted to surrender,
but the young men refused to permit it.
A general closing i'll will be made this
week, and there may be trouble. The
line is drawn between the Indians and
the Bad Lands.
Colonel Forsythe Believed.
Sunday in accordance with instruc-
tions telegraphed from Washington,
Col Forsythe was relieved of his com
mand of the Seventh cavalry, pending
investigation of the Wounded Knee
affair. Maj, Whiteside succeeds to the
command Of the regiment. Maj. White
sides said that the affair was an acci-
dent: that a few moments before the
fighting began the squaws were merrily
pelting the searching party with bundles
of rags. The accepted reason for Col
Forsythe's relief is the manner in which
his troops were placed in the fight.

Last night was one of feyerish excite

first time the squaw men and half-breeds
were alarmed, and remained up all night
fearing that an attack would be made
before morning. The agency is too well
guarded to permit any large force to APP
proach very close without discovery, but
it would be hard to prevent few daring
individuals from creeping up some Of

Gen. Miles has his troops all around

could not prevent small bands escaping

would place the lives of many settlers in

YATES, N. Oak, Jan. G.-Indications
point to at least 600 Indians having left
Standing Rock agency to join the hos
tiles.
The discovery was made on issuing
rations to many that did not come to the
agency, and one of the ''friendlies" stated
that they had armed themselves and
gone to join the "bads' in revolt. How
many have gone is only conjectured, but
the Indications point to at least 900 de-

been fomenting trouble ever since the

not been slow in manifesting their in

of them regard the taking off of the old
