Il! ENo. o. r., April 4-The military
authorities at Fort Reno have received in
formation of the reported Indian outbreak
in G county o. L. The number of killed
and wounded in the first encounter is
given as two whites and one Indian
killed, and one Indian wounded. Infor-
nation from other and reliable sources
does not agree with the above, and it Is at
least twelve hours later.
William Delesdernier, trader at Seger,
n point about thirty-five miles from the
origin of the trouble, came into town to-
day to purchase ammunition to take out
to the settlers. He states that the first re-
ports came to his place by the Indians
Sunday night and they then purchased
5000 rounds of ammunition and took it to
the band in the fight. The settlers,
Delesdernier says, are collecting at Seger
and they now have a company of about 115
under arms, and several bands of settlers
have gone to the scene of the trouble.
The Indians engaged are not OF the band
of Whirlwind, as AT first supposed, but are
followers of Red Moon. The location of
the fight is on the Waushita river about
lis miles west of FL Reno. Delesder
nier and party of settlers went to
the scene of the fighting on Monday night
and found that fifteen of the Indians and
about as many whites bad been killed. 1t
was impossible 10 get the names of those
killed. The indians are all armed with
Winchesters and have plenty of ammuni-
ton. The Indians from other parts of the
reservation have FASTENED to join Red
Moon In his trouble and he now has band
of about $50 bucks in the fighting crowd
that is moving up the Washits river.
A small skirmish occurred between a
band of Indians and some white men at
point about thirty miles from Canton
ment, the Indians being on the move TO
join Red Moon. The two white men Were
brought into Cantonment that We're killed
in the encounter, but the number of Indi-
ans killed or wounded is not known.
This information was brought in by
Clare Trent, a borseman who has just ar
rived from that point, having ridden ninty
five miles 10 bring the information. Can
Torment is not burned as reported, but is
strongly guarded by the people who have
gone there for safety. All the Cheyenres
from that locality have joined Red Moou's
band. The settlers are nearly all ex-cow-
men and cowboys. and between them a9d

WASHINGTON, April An the senate to-
day the report of the secretary OF agricul.
ture relative to the visible supply of
wheat, in response to the resolution of
Senator Pettigrew passed yesterday, was
read aud referred to the committee on ag-
riculture.
A lively debate was precipitated by the
presentation of a memorial from the Phil
sdelphia board of trade praying for ad-
vanced duties on sugar. Senator Quay,
who presented the memorial. sent it to the
clerks desk to be read. but Senator Har-
rIs. carrying out the threat made yester-
day that he would object to the Interrupt
ton of any business which would delay
the tariff. objected to the reading of the
memorial, whereupon Quay withdrew il
and began TO read it himself.
Mr.. Harris objected to Mr.. Quay read
ing the petition and was sustained by the
Chair. Mr.. Quay was permitted to make
u brief statement concerning the petition.
The senate then took up The horse rae
ing and pool selling bill and agreed TO
the amendment prohibiting pool selling

Mr.. PETER had begun a speech on the
proposition to repeal all laws authorizing
the secretary OF the treasury to issue bonds
without specific authority from congress,
when the matter was put over until to-
morrow, and debate GU the tariff bill was
resumed.
Mr.. Allison took up the thread Of his
speech where IL was interrupted yester-
day, devOting his remarks to the de.
parture from specific to nd valorem duties,
aud pointed out the inconsistency of re-
tanning specific duties on some articles
and the ad valorsM system Oh others.
In response TO question Senator ALI
son declared he Intended to vote for free
sugar, both raw and refined, as it was in
the bill as it came from the house. and
then he would propose an amendment re-
placing the bounty on sugar as Ii was in the
Mckinley law. In conclusion he asserted
be should not knowingly contribute by
this bill or any other, To the promotion of

OF the interests of his own country.
Mr.. Mills followed, combining himself

tenn. You must come TO the confession

The senate, at AS o'clock, went into ex-
ecutive session, and when the doors were
reopened, adjourned
