INDIAN RISING IN DAKOTA  THE THREATENED MASSACRE OF SETTLERS. News has been received in New York of the murder of seven settlers by Indians, near Libean, a settlement in South Dakota. It is stated that the settlers of Potter and Dalworth counties in South Dakota are fleeing for their lives. On Friday morning 500 armed Indians crossed the Grant River, and if massacre is their intention the only chance the settlers have is to flee. Rut escape In this way is regarded as a poor one. A special correspondent announces that the Indians who ar.. massing at White River are experienced fighters, and the Sioux are moving north to select their fighting grounds. The object of the massing at the White River is apparently to loot cattle at a big adjacent herding station,by which means the Indians would be provisioned for the winter. Another message from the Pine Ridge Agency, which come, via Rushvill, in Nebraska, says that the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians mean war. _  _ An ultimatum from the hostile chief Little Wound, who apparently intends to lead the Ogallelas against the soldiers, has been received by Dr. Rogers, the Pine Ridge agent. Little Wound, writing from the camp of the Ghost Dancers, says: eI understand the soldiers have come into our reservation. What have they come for F We have done nothing. Our dance is a religious dance, and we are going to dance until spring. If we find that Christ does not appear we shall stop dancing; but troops or no troops we shall start to dance on this creek in the morning. We also understand that I am not to be recognised as chief any longer. Neither you nor any of the white people made me chiet, and you cannot throw me away as you please; but I tell you, Dr. Rogers, the Indians made me their chief, and by them I shall be so recognised as long as I live. 'We have been told you intend to stop our rations and annuities. Well,we do not care for that. The little rations we get do not amount to anything, but if such is the case you might as well send me word so that my people may be saved the trouble of going to the agency. We do not intend to step dancing. Signed,Little Wound." This chief, with 30 lodges of followers, is now encamped at Medicine Rout Creek en route to join the main t ody of the hostile Indians on the White River. His letter to Dr. Rogers is his reply to an order sent to the Indians to stop their orgies. Dr. Rogers says it now only remains for the troops to enforce the order. Two companies of the Bth Cavalry Regiment are at Oelrich waiting for orders, and 600 troops are expected at Rushvill. General Brooke is in constant conference uith scouts and runners, but the military refuse all information in regard to what is being done at the front.  Mandalay is greatly infested by pariah dogs. Al. though the municipality have been killing them at the rate of 2,000 a month, there is no perceptible reduction.  A serious accident occurred at Rhondda on Saturday. A runaway tramcar, in which were 30 passengers, came in contact with a wall and was overturned. Several persons were badly injured. On visiting Pompeii last week the Empress of Austria specially examined the wall paintings which are ling copied by the artists who are to decorate a hall in the villa now being built for her at Corfu. An rmcavation was made, and some amphoras that were dug out were offered to the Empress. In the evening her Majesty went on board the corvette Miramir, the Chazalie having left the port alter the Empress had made a present of 5,000 franca to its crew and a costly gift to its captain.  ...c nearing of the charges against Mr. Harrison, M. r., and others for rioting on the opening day of the conspiracy trials at Tipperary concluded at Tipperary on Saturday.
