APPEAL FOR TROOPS.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct, 1.-THE following
telegram, signed by ]. S. McLain. editor
of the Journal; f. R. Johnston. managing
editor of the Times; and C. H. Hablen,
manager editor Of the Tribune, was sent
to President Mckinley tonight:
"Advices from conservative sources lead
us to believe that force Of not less than
600 soldiers, preferably 800. should be at
once available at Leech lake and vicinity.
We believe such force is needed. not only
to rescue General Bacon and the survivors
of his command, but to N~operly overawe
the agency Indians. in whose professions
of friendship and neutrality no one ac-
duainted with them puts credence. A gem
eral outbreak at or around Walker would
probably result in the massacre of many
citizens. In country as heavily timb-
cred the present force is, in our Judgment,
wholly inadequate. The gravity OF the
situation is not over-estimated in the
above suggestions"
This dispatch was sent upon receipt Of
advices that an uprising among the Red
Lake and Cass Lake. as well as the Leech
Lake Indians was regarded as imminent,

THE FIRST BATTLE.

MINNEAPOLIS. MINI. Oct. e-The
Times this morning prints the following
summary Of the situation at Leech Lahs
as near as IT can be learned;
At 40 this morning the only dehnlts
news from Leech Lake Is that 100 Of tho
Third infantry under General Bacon had
an engagement with the PilIagers on the
mainland with casualties OF four killed
and nine wounded.
The troops landed at a. m yesterday
and secuted through the woods without
result. Soon after Il a. m. while the men
we're getting coffee. the Indians opened
FIRE with the results stated.
The troops. steadled by General Bacon
and Major Wilkinson. rushed forward to
cover and returned the Indian FIRE with
good effect. the loss to the red men not
being definitely known because Of the na-
'ure OF the grouna and the thick brush.
This was all the definite news received
up TO the hour given above.
Early in the evening rumors began TO
come in from Brainard and Duluth to the
effect that Custer ike disaster had been
added to the long list Of hshts with In
dians.
Mr.. PegIer, Of the Minneapolis Journal.
telegraphed that Beaton OF the Mime
apolIs Journal was in a critical position.
Following this came statement from
the operator at Walker that Beaton and
Brill. the latter the Pioneer Press CORES
pondent, landed from a boat before the
troops were engaged and had been killed.
A later story was to the effect that two
correspondents had been cut OF by the
Indians while trying to escape and killed

toned. but was supposed to be with Bea.
ton and Brill isls
stil later comes report from Brainerd
that Bacon and his entire command ana
two newspaper correspondents had been
killed. From railroad sources came the
rumor that Bacon and half his men had
followed.
AT a m. orders were received at Fort
Smelling to embark the three companies
Of the Third infantry ON special which
would leave the post at a. m. today.
II should be remembered that the scene
Of the lighting Is many miles Of rough
wate- or thick forest distant from Walk
er the nearest telegraph station, and Il
would be well until definite advices are
received to accept the rumors tentatively.
II the story of total or partial massacre
is true II is almost impossible to discover
how the story reached the wire at
Walker, That there has been a serious
fight is beyond question. That 100 armed
soldiers, armed with the best of maga-
zine rifles. have been killed by a couple
Of hundred Indians-that being the max

GENERAL UPRISING OF INDIANS.
LEETHRUP. MINI. oct. s-This after
noon at 300 o'clock It was learned that
General Bacon and his small band Of 70
or u men we're still fighting on Bear
island. but It cannot be learned what the
outcome OF their fghtlng has been up to
this hour. o'clock.
An attempt was made to land on the
island this afternoon and rescue the
wounded soldiers and get the bodies OF
the unfortunate bluecoats who we're
killed. This attempt was partly success
ful. so far as that four bodies were re-
covered and nine wounded soldiers we're
rescued. but the citizens were driven to
the boat and the boat was driven from
the shore by skulking redskins.

Third infantry. from Fort Smelling. under
command OF Lieutenant Golharbaeh. ar
rived at Walker this afternoon. Another
special train will leave Brainard tonight
with 800 or go more soldiers. Inspector
Tinker expresses the opinion that with
500 soldiers the Indians will be subdued.
but thinks there will be blOOdshed, and
may be lots OF It.
II is said the Indians from the Mile
Laehs reservation have started. 800 strong,
to join the Lereh Lake Indians. and, II
this is tho case, it will require 800 ad-
ditional troops to auell the disturbance.
They are reported to be well armed and
going north at rapid rate. They will
probably reach Bear island and Lereh
lake tomorrow at daylight
Since the uprising OF the Bear Island
Indians the Indians at Lereh Lake agency
had been quiet until today. but word has
arrived tonight from the agency that the
Indians have broken out, and the au-
thorities have no control over them and
fear there will be more bloodshed.

the physician that, as he was go~
