Cavalry and Infantry Hurrying Into the
 Indian Country.
 WAsHINGToN, July 31.-A telegram re- ceived at army headquarters from Major Bisbee, in command of the detachment of infantry sent to support the cavalry on its way to the scene of the Indian disturb Rnce in northern Wyoming, reports that his force reached Market Lake at noon Tuesday. He will proceed at once toward Jackson's Hole with the view of being as near to the scene of operations as possible in case of emergency. Major Bisbee also says he has forwarded 30 days rations to General Coppinger.
 A later dispatch was received at the war department from army headquarters at Omaha stating that the battalion of the Eighth infantry, composed of five compa- nies from Fort Russell, in charge of Ma jor Bisbee, had left Market Lake, Ida, for Marysvale. They had 30 days supplies for the entire command, which includes a squadron of cavalry now on its way to Marysvale.
 The dispatch said further that General Coppinger had not been heard from. The cavalry were due at Marysvale last night. Army officials estimate that the infantry can under forced march reach Marysvale l in six days. In view of the peaceful char acter of the reports from the scene of trou- l ble, such hurry will not, however, in the | opinion of the officials here, be necessary. ST. PAUL, July 31.-In regard to the reports from Market Lake and other Idaho points to the effect that the Indians are | in Yellowstone park, Passenger Agent 1 Fee of the Northern Pacific, which is the l only line extending into the National park, enters an emphatic denial and char | acterizes such reports as the work of the "string fiend.''
 | DENVER, July 31.-A special from Chey, enne, Wy, says: A private dispatch from | Market Lake states that the Ninth caval | " is now encamped in the Teton basin near Marysvale. The troops will not be moved into Jackson's Hole until the re turn of the Indian police who were sent ahead to try to induce the Indians to re turn to their reservations. The reports from Marysvale show tha the excitement is dying out, and many O the settlers are returning to their homes | The news of the near approach of th' | troops has caused 8 bitter feeling among the settlers. The dispatch states that thu l settlers had arranged to make an attacl | on the Indian forces with the intention 0 driving them out of the country, but aft CT receiving the message from Governo Richards advising them to act only ol the defensive, they changed their minds
 
 the troops in the field all the summer, a the Indians can only be kept in check b, the presence of the soldiers.
 The Indian scare is spreading far to tn south and east of Jackson's Hole, and set tiers in Fairmount county are becoming alarmed. Governor Richards last night re ceived the following from Dr. Lovcjoy c South Pass, in the Miners Delight min ing district:
 "There is a band of 100 or 200 Indi ans within half days ride of this place They are all bucks, and things look shad here. We have plenty of ammunition an men, but need guns. Can you send feN stands of arms?'
 Shortly after the receipt of the abov
 the following was received by the govern
 or from Leadstone, in the same district
 signed by K. A. Gustin
 "Can you send us guns? Indians ar l near here.''
