RED-SKIN WAR.
Kyor and Six Men Have
Been Slain.
THIRTY BUCKS ARE DEAD.
And Still The Fighting Goes
Merrily On.
Minneapolis, Oct. 7.—A Spe
cial to The Journal from Walk
er, Minn., says Major Wilkin
son, six privates and one Indian
policeman are dead. Captain
Sheehan is slightly wounded.
Thirty Ii dians are dead. The
Journal dispatch boat has just
returned from the battle ground,
where there has been desperate
fighting all the morning.
Major Wilkinson w< s shot
through the log, and he had his
leg dressed, took the field again
and w-js shortly afterwards shot
through the body. He raised
himself io one elbow and shouted
to General Bacon :
“Give them hell, general;
never mind about me.’
These were bis last words.
The Journal boat brought out
11. S. Talman. deputy marshal,
and Captain Shethan. Sheehan
is not badly wounded . He is
shot in the abdomen.
While the boat was transfer
ring wounded men she was fired
on from the brush. This was
the signal for an immediate re
opening of hostilities. The
troops opened on the Indians,
and in a second there was as
fierce a fight in progress as that
of yesterday.
Bealieu narrowly escaped with
his life, lie had his shoulder
bored clear through. We landed
provisions and medicines. The
firing became so hot we were
compelled to weigh anchor and
steam out into the lake.
The Indians appeared to be in
force. Bacon’s command is tco
small to take the aggressive.
The detachment is intrenched in
& good position, and can hold
out so long as ammunition lasts.
Ihe steamer Chief was met by
my boat about eight miles out,

carries a posse of armed men.
Major Wilkinson was shot and
killed while walking up and
down admonishing the men to
keep their heads low. Nobi •aver
man or better officer ever lived.
Hie men in his command are
crazed with rage. When re-en
forcements arrive they will wreak
vengeance on the Pillagers in
their own way. The fight is not
half over yet, the biggest battle

CUBANS CRY
For Help Against “Extermi

PALMA WILL URGE
Prompt Action. Commissioners
Are Making Slow Progress.
New York, Oct,, 7—l he members
of the Cuban junta here are much
concerned about the stories of sub
sering from lack of food received
by them from the Cuban army.
Letters have come which state that
the condition of the army and of
the rural population in Cuba is
worse now than even during the
continuance of the war,
The junta officials here maintain
that tfie c> urse adopted by the
Spanish results ' effectively in
causing death to the Cuban insur
gents and pacificos as did the pol
icy of rrconcentration and ex er
initiation adopted by Weyler. Fol
lowing is an extract from a letter
received by Horatio S. Reubens,
counsel of the junta here:
“Nobody can form an adequate
idea of the horroia of our position.
Famine causes more deaths in our
ranks than have heretofore the
bullets of the enemy. If, within a
month, we do not receive much
food, more than one-third of the
Cuban army and of thj> r-ural#pop
ulation will cease to exist, and
even a month may be too late ”
To lay before the President
the advice of this nature received
here, and to urge, if possible, the
speedy insistence by the American
peace commissioners at Havana of
the discontinuance of the exces
sive Spanish duties on food im
ports is said to be the cheif reason
for the visit of the jelegate. Tom

Just to show that Major Wil
kinson knew his business, when
the fight started yesterday he
shouted :
“Steady now, make every shot
count. Kill everything you see.’
The squaws are more to be
dreaded than the bucks, and
Cuba’s vultures were not more
to be avoided.,
Lieut. Morrison has .won his

“Aim straight,’’ lie . shouted ,•
“don’t get rattled boys. Those

laughing, as a ball touched hie
hat and knocked it off. The men
cheered him right in the thick
of it.
There was a big conference at
the agency last night. Lieut.
Humphrey, of the agency de
tachment and Dr. Hart, the
Agency surgeon, were invited,
with half a dozen bad characters
who had stirred up sentiment in
favor of joining the Pillagers,
Dr. Hart told them if they went
on the war path there would
not be a live Indian on Leech
lake in a week. Lieut Humphrey
backed the statement.; After sev
eral hours’ talk, the Indians de
cided to.be good Indians, at least
for the present. The assurance
may not be worth much.

About two months ago he was
supposed to be dead, and while

water.
'Three weeks ago Allen appar
ently died. The body lay on a
cooling board for six Lours, but
was warm when placed in thp.
cofilin. 'The arms were limber,
and had to be tied across the
body to keep them in place. The
burial took placa and, after the
coffin was lowered into tfie grave
the sexton said that the negroes
wanted to act like white folks
and leave the grave to. be filled,
up by the sexton.
When the sexton began th row
ing dirt in he heard, a kicking
on the lid and went off to get
some one to help take the body
up, but could get no assistance.
He then went back and proceed
ed to fill the grave, the entombed
man kicking, it is said, all the
time until the grave was filled
Harmon Stitt went before
Judge. Burnell yesterday and
asked to have Coroner Roberts'
take the body up. It was ex

held, but the jury brought in a
verdict that Allen died a natural
death.
