reason to Selicvc that an agreement might
be reached between the powers based upon

This report, however, conflicts with the
dispatches from Constantinopie, announc-
ing tho calling ont for active service Of
further large contingents OF the Turkish

WINNIPEG, Man., May S0.-The tel
egraph wires have been cut in the
neighboThood Of the Indian reserves at
Duck Lake, where the fugitive Indian
outlaws are being besieged by mounted
police and volunteers, and there Is mucn
uneasiness here and fears are being en-
tertained that other Indians are joining
the fugitives The government took
charge Of the wires today and military
officers in various parts OF the country
have been exchanging kilograms rela-
tive to the situation. A large quantity
Of ammunition for cannons was shipped
from here today by express, and the
mounted police that were leaving for
England to attend the Jubilee were re-
called. 1t is said that the dragons
here have been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness to move.
A report from Duck Lake says the
transport party which left for the scene
of the Indian trouble this morning re-
port that Capt. Gagnen, with seven
pound field gum, arrived before dark last
night at the bluff, where the Indians
are entrenched, and fired seven shells
into the bluff AT du.a,1Nss when every
thing had quieted down, Almighty
Voice yelled to the police that they
were doing well, but would have to do
better. The ndne- -ponnder. in charge OF
Assistant Commisstoner McIllree, was
trained ON the bluff at s g. M, and
got the range at the second shot. A
transport is leaving with picks and
shovels for the purpose OF throwing up
earthworks to enable the men to ad-
vance ON the bluff under cover In case
they are not successful In driving the
Indians out with shells. The Indians
are supposed to have good underground
protection. There have been no further
fatalities.
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-05-31

Minneapolis, Capt. Robideau, the in
specting officer finds, has gone back.
At the last annual inspection Company
F stood something like 80. Lieut. Nc
Coy found 1T necessary this time to put
them last Of the companies in the
First infantry.
The Hastings company Lieut. Mccoy
visited earlier in the season, but, ow-
ing to their apparently apathy, he de-
clined then to inspect 1t. Since then,
however, the members have taken
brace. and last Friday night put up
a fairly good drill.
In number of other cases the re-
port contains notations made by the in
specting officer regarding different
features which he found while on the
round of inspection. The city COM
panies he finds very naturally show
the most substantial progress owing
to the advantages such as opportunity
to witness the performance Of their
rival companies, interchange of views,
etc. This has been the first year for
the new manual, but the inspecting Of
fcer is Of the opinion that this tnno-
walton cuts but little figure in the
total marking. Between April 19 and
May q Inspecting Officer Mccoy has
witnessed the annual maneuvers Of
two light batteries, A Of st. Paul and
B of Minneapolis. No reference Is
made to the battery inspection, save
a brief mention Of the number of men
who turned out. The reason for this
is that the artillery contest, for which
Maj. Libbey offered prize medal, Is
to be decided by Lieut.. McCoy's re-
port, which is securely sealed and de-
posted in the adjutant generals vault
and will not be made public until the
artillery is encamped at Lake City in
July.
1t is set forth in the report that the
programme laid out in General Orders
No. by the adjutant general early
in April, shall consist Of the formal
inspection in full and fatigue dress and
heavy marching order, manual Of arms,
firing, bayonet and setting up exer-
else, and the various other company
maneuvers. 1t also includes the pia-
toon movements, extended order drill
and school of the company.
The very creditable showing made
by the leading companies. and espe-
cially by Capt. Beans crack company,
is to be commended more than ordi-
narily owing to the fact recognized by
national guardsmen that Lieut.. Mccoy
is easily one Of the strictest and at
the same time one of the fairest drill
masters in the army. Trained in the
national guard, he understands fully
the difficulties and exigencies in the
life of guardsman, and that, coupled
with his practical experience in the
army, peculiarly fits him for the du-
ties of inspecting officer. While he
is not a West Point graduate, he has
given some years to a careful study OF
military tactics and regulations, and
is conceded by his army associates as
being thoroughly posted in those things
which go to make up a good officer.

CONV|cIS FAR FROM SUBDUED.
Trouble Ahead for the Off
Gals of San Quentin Prison.

CiaIS of San Quenf1h Prison.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 90.-The
riotous convicts in the San Quentin
penitentiary caused no serious trouble
today, but they are still defiant, and
vaguely threaten that they will yet
compel the authorities to yield to their
demands. Warden Hale is confident
that the backbone Of the strike has
been broken, and thinks that he will
soon starve the unruly men into sub
lection. They are closely watched, and
the guards are instructed to instantly
suppress any attempts at organized
disturbance. During the regular exer-
cises today some Of the convicts not
implicated in the strike, but sympa-
thizing with the leaders, pelted the
doors Of the dungeons where the men
on short rations are confined with po-
way managed to give them considera-
BILE food before the very eyes OF the
keepers.
Shouting and hammering on the
doors was continued all day, but those
who approached within hearing dis
tance were greeted with the vilest
curses. The men declare that they will
never submit to discipline again, and
prison officials are fully aware that 1t
Will be a difficult task to restore tran
guilty. Warden Hale declares that
there Is no foundation in fact for the
complaints regarding the quality of
food served He thinks their charge
is merely a pretext for the convicts
refusing to work In the jute mill, and
positively declares that, having quelled
the first outbreak, he is now master Of
the situation.
