# 300 Indians Killed.
Rapid City, 8. D., Dec. 30.—The
latest advices from Pine Ridge are to
the effect that 5 soldiers were killed in
yesterday’s fight and fifteen wounded.
Out of 120 of Big Foot’s party.at least
70 are repoited either killed or woun
ded. Ono troupe returning to the
agency is reported os having been
fired upon, but with no damage.
General Mills will leave hero to
day for Pine Ridge to take command
in person and be nearer the base of
operation. Tbo Indians at the agen
cy arc reported restless and in an ex
cited condition, and great care will
have to be taken to prevent further
trouble from those on their way in
from Bad Lands,numbering from 300
to 400.
The list of killed and mortally
wounded, so lar as can be ascertained
is as iollows : Killed—Capt Wal
lace, ot the Seventh cavalry and Pri
vate Cook; mortally wounded Sergt.
Hotchkiss, Private Chodcusou, be
sides a score or more who are known
to be badly wounded. This is only a
partial list, about a dozen more nre
reported seen lying as if dead with
twenty-five or more wounded.
Many of tho wounded will die.
The firing lasted half an hour. Capt.
Wallace was tomahawked squarely in
the forehead. Lieut. Kinser received
but a slight woupd iu the aukle.
Lieut Garlington, of Arctic fame,
was shot through the arm.
Washington, Dec. 30.—In advi
ces received at the Indian office to •
day from agent Roger, of the Pine
Ridge agency, he says that the fight
yesterday resulted iu the killing of
about 300 Indians and several of the
soldiers, including Capt Wallace, of
the Seventh cavalry.
A Death Struggle.
The press dispatches, speaking of
the late fight with the Indians, says:
“The soldiers, maddened at the
sight of their fallen comrades, hardly
awaited the command, and in a mo
ment the whole front was a Bheet of
fire, across which the smoke rolled,
obscuring the central body. Through
this curtain single Indians could be
seen at times flying before the sol
diers’ fire, but after the first discharge
from the carbines of the troopers there
were few ot them left. They fell on
all sides, like grain in the course of
the scythe.
“Indians and soldiers lay together
and the wounded fought on the
ground. Off through the draw to
ward the bluffs the few remaining
warriors fled, turnmg occasionally to
fire, but they wero now evidently
caring more for escape that battle.
Only the wounded Indians seemed
possessed of the courage of devils.
From the “ground where they had
fallen they continued to fire until
their ammunition was gone or until
killed by the soldiers. Both sides
forgot everything excepting only the
loading and discharging of their guns.
It was only in the early part of the
affray that hand to hnnd fighting was
seen. Carbines were clubbed, sabres
gleamed and war clubs circled in the
air and came down like thunder
bolts.
Macon's Big Trial-
Macon, Ga., Dec. 30.—In the mur
der conspiracy trial yesterday three of
the prisoners were put on the stand to
tesify in their own behalf, and made
fiat denials of the testimony of the two
main witnesses for the prosecution,
Burch and Bohannon. It is said that
the prosecution are holding back a
coup that will forever shut out hope of
successful defense, and that there are
some very interesting developments
yet to come. The trial has already
lasted [ nineteen days aod may last
eight or ten more.

A Great Fire in London.
London, Dec. 30.—A terrific con
flagration broke out on Queen Victo
ria and Thomas streets intercepting
thoroughfares in the great business
quarter in the city to-day. Several
warehouses have already been destroy
eh and a general alarm has been
sounded, but the high wind prevailing
prevents the firemen from keeping the
raging elements under control.
