SOLDIERS LEAVE TO
QUIET BAD REDSKINS
A General Chippewa Uprising
Feared by Many.
VETS OF CUBA NOW WORK
Regulars Who Partlclated In the
Santiago Campaign Depart For Bear
Island to Bring Indians to Terms
With Force If Necessary.
Walker, Minn., Oct. 5.—General
Bacon, with his Santiago veterans from
the Third infantry, left early today for
recalcitrant’pillager Bear island, determined to bring the
Indians to terms
by force if necessary. He chartered two
steamboat, and a barge, and had a Gat-
ling and Hotchkiss aboard with which
to clear the island of possible ambushes.
The men are under the immediate com*
mand of Captain Wilkinson.

gineering station. It is also possible
sol lers from the Fourteenth. Minnesota
volunteers, at Duluth, will be sent to
protect the government dam at Winne-
bogoshish.
There are some apprehensions here of
rious a general branches Chippewa the uprising. The va-
vicinity have of Cliippewas Jin this
about 600 fighting men
and could make much trouble if they
joined the pillagers. The authorities,
however, do not share in the apprehen-
lions, aud believe the matter will be
speedily settled.
Gus Beaulieu, who has Chippewa
blood m his veins and who is a fast
friend of the tribe, is confident that he
can settle the difficulty. He went to
Bear island last night, promising to
bring in Bog-Ah-Mah-Le-Shig, who
caused all the trouble, and the leader of
the malcontents.
The Indians are apparently deter¬
mined to resist the troops. Captain Ed
Luciane has just come in with the tug
Vera. She had to put into Bear island
last night on account of heavy weather
and was at once seized by tbe pillagers.
Her fires were put out aud tbe boat tied
up by the Indians, who threatened Lu-
ciane with death unless he revealed the
strength of the military forces and the
time a start would be made from Walker.
Luciane could not give the informa¬
tion they wanted and was held until
daylight this morning and then re¬
leased. He says the bucks were in war
paint and feathers. General Bacon has
landed his detachment ou the mainland
opposite Bear island through a heavy
surf. There was no hostile demonstra-
tion and no Indians in sight. The bush
is being scoured in an attempt to find
them, but they appear to have retreated
in the direction of Cass lake.
The authorities think the Indians will
make their stand at Littleboy lake, with¬
in three miles of Leech lake, where con¬
ditions favor them. Over alarmed
bands of Indians have been seen mak¬
ing for a, rendezvous. The settlers are
terror-stricken, but General Bacon says
every precaution has been taken for
their safety. A heavy gale is blowing
and the air is full of snow, making
operation on the lake difficult.
If it. develops that the Indians have
retreated to Littleboy lake it is likely
the forces will be brought back here and
taken by train to Lothorpe and thence
marched across the country.
MISS LUCY HILL WORRIED.
Regrets That “New Daughter” Con¬
troversy Should Have Arisen.
Richmond, Oct. 5.—Miss Lucy Lee
Hill, daughter of General A. P. Hill,
whose nomination as the “new daugh¬
ter of the confederacy” stirred up a tu¬
mult throughout the south upon the
ground that there never could be a suc¬
cessor to that title, has written a letter
to a friend here in which she says:
“It has given me much pleasure to
know how many friends I have in this
matter of the succession to the title
‘Daughter of the Confederacy.’ It is an
honor unsought by me, and General
Gordon says the title should die with
the original possessor, Winnie Davis.
There cannot always be a daughter of
the Confederacy, for lam the last one
of the general’s daughters to be born at
that time and with me it would end.
“I am content as I am, a confederate

UNIQUE SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
__-
Navigation Company Asks Relief of
the New Orleans Courts.
New Orleans, Oct. 5. An interest-
ing suit has been filed by the French
Navigation company, which owns the
steamship Brittania. The Brittania
arrived several days ago at the mouth
of the river with 408 Italian immigrants.
Believing that the dumping of these
strangers in the city might provide
fresh material for the fever and thus
seriously endanger public health, the
board of health issued an order holding
the ship at the mouth of the river.
The company now sues for relief,
saying the ship has a clear bill of health
and that the board of health is acting
by virtue of a state law that isnneon-
stitutional, in view of the fact that con-
gress alone has the right to regulate
foreign commerce.
Damages are asked of the officers of
the board of health.
