Washington, October ll.-oHiciais
Of both the war and the interior de-
partment are inclined to the beliet
that the seriousness Of the Indian up
rising In Minnesota has been eXagger-
ated. They are not disposed, however
to take anything for granted AdJu-
tant General Corbn telegraphed Gem
eral Bacon last night he could have
all the troops he might deem neces-
sary to quell the demonstration OF the
hostlles. The Fourth infantry, now at
Fort Sheridan, Chicago, and the Sew
enteenth infantry, now at Columbus
barracks, have been placed at Cen
eral Bacon's disposal. Both regiments
are prepared to move to the scene OIL
the uprising at few hours notice
st. Paul, Minn., October 1.-Two
companies OF militia started from
Duluth yesterday afternoon for Ber-
midi, that town having called for
protection. :,
The following telegram has just
been received from Superintendent e.
G. Blanchard, OF the Northern Pacific
at Parker, Mimi:
"Woman just in at Mcuregor from
Portage lake, four miles west OF here
reports two dozen Indians in war
paint drove her from her home. She
thinks her husband and father are
killed. This is the first and only
trouble reported along our line WEI
you notify proper state authorities
| will take deputy and dozen men
with guns from Carleton"
Minneapolis, Mimi, October IL
The federal authorities are now
working in harmony toward The
quelling OF the Indian revolt. General
Bacon offered to come down from
Walker last evening to confer with
Governor Clough, but the latter adj
vised conference by wire, which
was held.
The construction crews on the
northwest extension OF the Brainerd
g. Northern to Bermldji and north
ward TO Cass lake have Joined the
refugees at Walker, and it may be
necessary to send them back to work
under guard, as these two extensions
in the event OF prolongation OF the
trouble would be of great strategic
value. Troops may yet be placed at
three more points, in addition to the
present forces at Fosston line points.
These are where the line crosses the
Mississippi, the Indian portage trail,
three miles west Of Bena, and Ball
Club lake. With these avenues OF es'
cape cut off, 1t would be practically
impossible for them to escape north
ward.
From Park river the governor has
received the following personal state
ment, signed by Chief Ned Gay Bug
Enanoway Busho:
"Pine Point, October 9.-We, the
Chippewa Indians at Pine Point, beg
to state to the public that we are
perfectly friendly to the whites and
have no i'll feeling, or are in any way
hostile. We have decided at the coun-
Gil not to take any part whatever in
the Leecfi Lake trouble"

stata militia. wires to Governor
