They say they want to die and are going to die while killing white men. It is also Kiil that two bucks escaped alive from the Wounded Knee fight who swore thut they will set the agency on fire and kill the agent themselves. General Miles has his troops all around the enemy and could throw all in a day and have a tremendous battle but could not prevent small bauds escaping here and there, which would place the lives of many settlers in danger. By holding his troops until a much larger force can be thrown around the Indians, the trouble can le 'confined to the reserve. The end can net be reached without one or more battles and bloody ones as there arc too many of the crazy who want to fol low the example of their llig Foot rela tives. General Miles sent out a letter j-es-terday asking for a hearing. The In dians tore the letter to fragments and threw them into the fire, saying: "We want no treaty: we are here to tight.' A delegation of friendlies ask that a large party le sent out at once to aid those who desire to escape from the hostile camp. They claim that 700 to K0O warriors wish to return; that they either fled tlirough fright at first or were forced to go with the rest. To let the friendlies go would undoubtedly precip itate a fight and consume several days of valuable time. No decision on the matter has been made yet. Yesterday afternoon in accordance with instructions telegraphed from Washington, Colonel Forsythe wjin re lieved of his command of the Seventh cavalry, pending investigation of the WoundeH Knee affair. Major White sides succeeds to the command of the regiment. Major Whitcsides says the affair was an accident, that a few mo ments Wfore fighting began the squa W: were merrily pelting the searching parties with bundles of rags. The ac cepted reason for General Forsythc's relief is the manner in which his troops were placed in the fight. Two trcops of the Ninth cavalry and two of the Eighth infantry reached the battle field at Wounded Knee Friday af ternoon, on the way to this place from the Rosebud agency, but will camp at Wounded Knee for a couple of days to protect a bnrial party that left the post yesterday morning. The Indians will be buried at Government expense in a long trench. An Indian courier brought a message from the hostile camp last night, the substance of which was a demand that all soldiers withdraw from the locality and that the Indians would treat with no one for peace but the Yice-Prosidcnt of the United States and the Commis sioner of Indian Affairs. Captain Taylor's soldier scouts with a large body of friendlies leave here early in the morning for the enemy's camp. The Ninth cavalry and General llrooke's forces will make a diversion on the west by attacking the Indian pickets, while the scouts and friendlies endeavor to rescue all the Pine Ridge Indians who desire peace. Every effort will be made to evade a general engagement, but this may lead to a general engagement of the troops. Fortifications are being strengthened at line Ridge in anticipa tion of a storm.

The surviving membrra of the fated company K looked lone some enough with their fearfully thinned ranks. The vacancy so strik ing in contrast to the rest of the column caused the tears to start in the eye of many a comrade for the comrades lost. The graves were in rows of six clo to gether in the southwest corner of the cemetery and overlooking the camp. After the reading of the burial servicen by Rev. Mr. Cook, the Episcopal clergy man here, aided by his asaUtant. the bodies were lowered into the graves. Owing to the immensely critical condition of the surroundings with hordes of the enemy flocking about the agency threatening an attack, the usual salute of guns was omitted, while sft notes from the bugle and the wail of the storm whispered the last good-bye.
