Serious Trouble Feared in Northern
 Minnesota.

Minneapolis, Minn.. Oct. A Jour Walker, Minn.: General Bacon with his Santiago veterans from the Third infantry left today for Bear Island de- termined to bring the recalcitrant In dians to terms at once and by force if necessary.
 There are some approximations here Of a general Chippewa uprising. The various branches of the Chippewas have about 600 fighting men and could make much trouble if they joined the pillagers. The Indians are apparently determined to resist the troops.
 Captain Ed Lucian has just come in with the tug Vera. She had to put into Bear Island last night Cn account of heavy weather, ana was at once seized by the pillagers. Her fires were put out and the boat tied up by the pill lagers. They threatened Lucian with death unless he revealed the strength cf the military forces at Walker. Lucian could not give tke information they wanted ard was held until day light this morning.
 The authorities think the Indians will make their stand ct Little Royal lake, thirty miles east of Lech lake, where the conditions favor them: Sev- eral armed bands Of Indians have been seen, apparently making for the rem dszvous. The settlers are terror stricken. but General Bacon says every precautiCn has been taken for their safety. 4 heavy gala is blowing and the air is full of sncH. making opera tions on tie lGke difficult.

NAVAL DISPATCH BOAT.

Washington, Oct. 5.-In order to pro- vide for contingencies in Hawaii, the navy department has assigned the tug I1Cluois, recently purchased, to duty as a communication or dispatch boat between San Francisco and Honolulu.
