to day wont went to the scene of mondays battle and found nice nine indians who ho were wounded in the fight still atilt living two of them bad been taken to a log hut but near by an and dAere were being cared for or by a squaw who had bad remained behind tho the other seven were found lying in the gullies five of those found were bucks and five the scouts brought them in and they are ate now in 10 the hospital in addition to the adults two tiny indian babes one of them over three months old were found alive each beside the dead body of its mother they were well wrapped up but that they ever survived the weather of 0 last iotis eight hours seems a miracle of the thirty five wounded indians brought inciter the battle nearly all of choin whom were squats and children not one has yet died though many are badly mangled with bullets the rear guard of a party oft of charity doing scouts that went ant out on their search for wounded indians were forced to exchange several shots with some

outlook for surprise by ho hostile stiles which wag was allowed to lapse during the war of the elements has been resumed nina nine of the wounded soldiers are worse tonight most of them seem livelier the news contained in tho the dispatch to general spread quite rapidly over the department this morning there is a strong party in favor of a more decided style of hostilities they say a single assault with intent to kill if noces necessary would precipitate a battle so full of sarr lasting asting 1 I be benefit befit that the loss of a few men would not be regarded the theory of this argument seema seems to be based entirely on the belief that a dead indian la Is much more valuable to the government than a captured indian or one cajoled or frightened into subi alion on the other
