"It Is not my ..Intention," said General Miles, "to tolerate any nonsense. non-sense. 1 will tell jou further, that (o far a n ganls the present ample supply of ammunition aud Winchester Win-chester rifles with which tho Indians In-dians are armed that somebody up in that corthimt country is making a business of furnishing these, unu it will not be many days before 1 shall kuowjust hour tbb business is accomplished." Assistant Adjutant-General Cor-bin Cor-bin said the removal of the Cliey-ennes Cliey-ennes from Tine Itidge agency, In accordance with the recommendations recommenda-tions of the commiuieu, has been ordered. The carrying out of this ordir now, he thinks, will remevt the disturbing element from Pint. Ridge and direct the attention ol the other Indians. This evening General Miles was in receipt of a telegram from Rosebud Rose-bud from one ol his officers in advance ad-vance of the formal report. Tho officer gives a sermon delivered by Short ltuU, tlio sa-called prophet of the 'Messiah," at Rosebud ngency to the Indians. In this sermon lluil said the thlnjs he predicted would have to come to pass in due season, but since the whitts are beginning to Interfere the time will be shorter. The Indians must not be afraid cf anything.

Whatever the white men may cay, do not listen to them." Adjutant-General Williams said this evening that n telegram had been received from General Ilrooke at Pine Kldgc, savlig that Ills scheme for inducing disloyal Sioux to abandon their tribe aud join the loyals is working will and he hopes soon to have Uie hostile crowd broken up. The report of the officer offi-cer In charge at Rosebud Agency, however, is not so encouraging. He telegraphs that when the forces under bis command moved near the Indians' camp today, they retreated back fifteen miles, aud tonight cm holding ghost dances and are working up such ft frenzy that some outbreak may occur before tomorrow. tomor-row. The headquarters wtru also advised ad-vised today that hitting ISull had been sendinz out requests to nil the Sioux Indians, even in Canada, Indian Territory aud sb far west as Wyoming, to join his forces. He Is assisted by : large number of Indians In-dians who have been educated by the government in tho East In an Interview late tonight General Gen-eral Miles, referring to General Williams' statement outlined above, said it will require care anil prudence on the part of the army to prevent an outbreak and oven with that they may not succeed. The gicat trouble is the craze is so widely spread, existing in many places widely separated. As near as he it able to learn, a concerted understanding under-standing was arrived at by tbo Indians In-dians during the summer tbat the lint hostllo shot should be the signal for tbe assembling and concentration concentra-tion of all disposed against the whites. The General did not talk about the ditpatch from Washington, regarding re-garding the general movement of trospe, saying he considered it bad policy to make such movements known, as tho news would be in the Indian camps in twenty-four hours. TiiEsrnrATiojJ vjatrcBmcAZ. Omaha, Nov. 21. A special to the J Ice from Pice Ridge reports affairs af-fairs temporarily quiet, though intense in-tense excitement prevails. General Brooke is anxiously awaiting instructions in-structions from tbe Department at Washington, due before he left Omaha, as to whether or not he shall Interfere with tho "ghost dance." This dance is now going on at Wounded Kneeixleen miles northeast north-east and at Porcupine, thirty miles north, while a scout who just came in reports' that a band of 500 copper faovs appeared at a point only nine miles to tbo north. Tnelndlanaare dancing with their rifles strapped upon their lrt. a lys. The Indians dancing at Wounded Knee announce openly that if the soldiers attempt to take Jack Red Cloud, tbe son of Old Cloud. Bia Road end Little Road, awy, as there have been thoughts of doing, they will cut off the soldiers' ears and otherwise malm them. Every o filter on the ground, especially es-pecially those high in authority, look upon the situation as very crlt-Icat crlt-Icat To be still more explicit, is to ray that the officers consider it next to probable that six or eight thousand thous-and Indians may sweep down on the agency at any moment. "Nothing but a miracle could save as from Custer's fate." says a prominent officer, "and I hope to uod," he added, "that reinforcements reinforce-ments will arrive before the red devils make their break." The Indians here in sight seem exceedingly friendly and are trusted by all, but It Is well to keep in xilnd that blood is thicker thnn water. Red Cloud, who has been and is still sympathizing with the new Christ fanatics, but Is here instead of Leiug off at the ghost dances, continues Tery sullen. Ho is being keenly watched. A false move and he will be In irons. He seems thorough) v bent on producing an uprising. the qcestlojt tjisctssed 1st the Cabinet. WAfHljcrjTOS, ifov. 1. Acting Indian Commissioner Beit this afternoon received a telegram from Special Agent Cooper at Pine Ridge Agency, saying the Indians are still dancing. "The police report that thirty Rosebud Indians have arrived at this reservation, and GOO or 703 more are en route to tho agency. We hope to settle this Indian craze without bloodshed. All kinds ol rumors are in circulation." I n the course of tho afternoon tho following telegram was received at tho War Department from General Miles: "The number of Indians going from Rosebud Agency to Pine Ridge Agency is Increasing. Reliable Re-liable advices show tbat this Messiah Mes-siah craze Is extending to our Indians In-dians near the Montana border, and between the Sioux Nation and tho Canadian border." Secretary Proctor carried the dispatches dis-patches to a Cabinet meeting and they formed the subject of discussion. discus-sion. Secretary Proctor says the suggestion made by General Miles, that troops In all other divisions Mian bis own command bo got in readiness to reinforce him, was already al-ready anticipated. Orders have been sent to the commanding oliicers of troops as far south as Texas and Arizona, Ari-zona, and as far west as California, to prepare their men for an immediate im-mediate movement if emergency arises. In any event It is the in tcnlion of the Department to heavily reinforce the troops in Dakota during the winter and they will be moving In from othcrdivbions from time to time. In this way it is expected ex-pected that the Department will bi able to mass an overwhelming force at the place where the excitement is highest, so as to effectually suppress sup-press any Indian uprising in tbe spring time. THCJ tIARE SOT AKItEST SITTIXa MisxEAroLis, Nov. 21. The Tribune's correrpondent at Mandan, N. D., gives information from the Sioux agency from two reliable Indians, In-dians, that tho chances are against an immediate uprising, unlets Sitting Sit-ting Bull makes up his mind that it would pay. Sitting Bull would be arrested and put in irons, but the agent is afraid that this would precipitate pre-cipitate trouble. Agent McLaughlin McLaugh-lin has lost controll of Bull and the others at Bull's camp. The dance keeps up da)' and night. The Indians Indi-ans with Sitting Bull do not welcome wel-come even friendly tribes, anJ will not shake bands with them. They say all the white men will be turned into buiTalo aad catfish in tbe spring. Agent McLaughlin rent some Indian In-dian police to arrest refractory Indians, In-dians, and instead of obeying orders they threw off their clothes and jyi ued the Cauce. Tbe-y returned to Ihuasency without tbe prisoners and offered no excuse Sitting Bull is jealous of the in-crrae in-crrae cf cattle on the Cannon Ball River, belonging to white settler. He teailiis bis followers that If a raid Is made on the settlers and they are killed, the Iudlans can surrender to the swldlers and be forgiven by them. Because of the fate of tbo former settlers no new ones will come there. The Indians who have accumulated accumu-lated property are opposed to an uprising. up-rising. The young bucks whohave nothing aud the ciders who are Iszy, led by Sitting Bull, are causing caus-ing the trouble. HEADING FOR UTAII. Chevesse, Wyo., Nov. 21. Frank Gruaroc,a Government scout stationed at Fort McKinney. reports that tbe renegade Sioux and Ctiey-en Ctiey-en lies are heading for Utah and tbe Big Horn mountains, a distance of 200 miles. The fleeing Reds will traverse several counties of Wyoming. Wyom-ing. Their plan Is, doubtless, to make a stand against their pursuers In s broken country. Governor Warren at once wired General Ilrooke a protest against tbo removal of the Fort McKinney cavalry to Pino Ridge. The scout Intimates imminent peril. His information was secured from Utah Crows, Jto wlioai runners brought the news. 8LKCTrd bS THEIR ARMS. Pisu Ridge Agency, S. D., Nov. 21. The number of Pickets has been doubled.

MAJOR WRIGHT REINSTATED. Washington, Nov. 21. Major Wright recently relieved from the past of the RoVmid agency, was completely cxoi erated In all charges and reinstated today, aud started fur the ngency tonight In an Interview, In-terview, he said he thought if some of the vicious leaders of tho present trouble could be locked up tho craz would subside. Bitting Bull and Red Cloud have been trying to regain control ever since they were deposed last year for opposition to tbe land sale and they are responsible for the most cf the present agitation.
