Squires ha9 arrived from Leavenworth, an J will have charge of the ill fated troop of the Seventh cay alry, he being absent from bis company during the fight on Wounded Knee. He was at Leavenworth attending an exam nation for promotion. In estimating the strength of the Indians yesterday the Indian agents gave the number as being about 4,000. 2,200 belonging to this agency, about 1,200 from Rosebud, and the remainder gathered from every agen cy in both the Dakotas. Thix is considered a very reliable statement, as the count is made ip by the absence of issue checks due on ration day. Some Brule Indians were in the Indian camp here last night seeking to etir up dissension and have them join the hostiles. Considerable anxiety is felt regarding these socallcd friendly Indians. In thu hour of danger it is almost certain they would turn and right the soldiers or burn the agency. The latter is the thing mont feared, and .ts every night pass s the apprehension increases, the Indians beiug camped only thirteen miles lroiu this place on While Clay creek. General Miles expressed himself la.st evening us not doubting bis ability to whip the. 1-idi.tns in a light with all the troops, bur. what i t most feared was his inability to capture them all by moving the troops in upon ihtiin from all sides.

The Nebraska City papers buve built s'-vsral cut offs from that "village" to Ashland that did not materialize as far as the general public conld understand the matter. The Press is at it again and may cr ake a success of the project this time. We clip the following: The Burlington and Missouri has placed several cars of ties near the Bur lington depot at the foot of Sixth street which will be used for Ouilding the Nebraska City-Ashland cut off. The rut off from the east and south to Omaha by way of Ashland ha3 longbeen agita ted but it wasgenerallyjbelieved that the scheme had fallen through until a few days ago when the company be&;an to unload ties in this city. The work of building the cutoff will probably not hcin until spring but has the distance from Nebrask-i City to Ashland is but twenty five miles it not take lonj; to build the road. A. C. today.
