Show THE INDIAN TROUBLES. Washington, 13. Gen. Sheridan telegraphed to Gen. Sherman, from New York, yesterday, the official reports re-ports received by him of the recent murders by Sioux Indians, aud that he wouid leave fur Chicago to-day to superintend any action that might be necessary. Gen. Sherman replied, under the same date:"Under a call of the Interior Department of to-day, sent to your head qua rte re in Chicago, Chi-cago, you will be justified in collecting the most effective ef-fective force possible, even if you ciraw cavalry from Fort Riley by rail to Cheyenne, to march to the Red Cloud agency, striking even- party of Indians that oppose you. Every Indian In-dian who has marauded south of North Piatte should be demanded aud held as an accomplice in the murder of Lieutenant Robinson. Their ponies must be very poor now, and game must be scarce; so the occasion to give the Sioux a lessou long merited seems to me favorable. My opinion is that the Sioux should never again have an agency away from tue Missouri River." Cheyenne, W. T., 13. No reliable information was received to-day in regard to the Indian troubles. Gov. Campbell has made a requisition on the War Department for the quota ol arms due this Territory, and to-day received a telegram that the arms aud ammunition will be forwarded immediately imme-diately from Leavenworth arsenal, for lue use of the citizens should it become be-come necessary for them to protect themselves against the Indians. |
