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. Fm t C Simn T^na ment 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.
