FIGHT WITH INDIANS.
TR00F8 SURROUNDS BIO FOOT’S HAND AND
A CONFLICT ENSUES.
A special dispatch from Pine Ridge
Agency, says that couriers from Bad
L ind-, who arrived there Monday morn¬
ing announced that a bloody and desper¬ creek,
ate confli t occurred on Porcupine
between United States troops and hostiles.
Big Foot’s band had been surrounded by
troops when the former were being dis¬
armed by Colonel Forsyth, a bloo iy en¬
counter took place. Captain cavalry Wallace
and five soldiers of the seven weie
killed; Lieutenant Gurlington and fifteen
men wounded. The Indians are being
hunted up in all directions.
ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT.
A special of Advices Tuesday from Rushvi 11c,
Neb., says: from the seat of war
give news of another encounter between
the troops and Iudiaus at a poiut within
four miles of the agency. The Seventh
and Ninth cavalry were just coming in
from Monday’s battlefield, followed at
some distano •, by their provision train.
On reaching the point named, a large
band of Indians, headed by Chief Two
Strike, dashed sudden y upon the train,
captured it, and were making off towards
the Bad Lands when the cavalry wheeled
and gave pursuit. In the battle which
followed, over thirty Indians were
wounded, but no sol iiers were killed.
According to the latest report Two
Strikes’ Indians hud up to Monday been
considered peaceable and subdue!, but
their sudden change of mind causes the
gravest fears that perhaps none of the so
called friendlies can be relied upon.
Reliable news is also at hand that Col.
Henry is now approaching the agency
with 700 Indians, captured in the Bad
Lands. 'Ibis is believed to include all of
the rebels ■ n the reserva ion, and hopes
are eutertained of a speedy settlement.
It has cost the lives of about 250 Indians,
twenty-five or thirty soldiers killed and
wounded to effect this, if indeed it may
be said that peace is yet established. 'I he
body of the gallanf Captain Wallace and
other dead soldiers, will be shipped to
Fort Robinson, the nearest military post.

When Mr. Wolcott concluded, all the
senators left the floor for the cloakrooms
to d scu8s the effect of the speech. It
had ere .ted the sensation of the se ison,
but was oi ly like the explosion of a.
firecracker to the bombs that lollowed.
Of course for a while there was a calm,
wnich was filled in by short speeches
from Senator Stewart, oi Nevada, on free
coinage, Texas, and by Senator Re financial gan, of
on the force bill and the
condition of the country. Then the sec¬
