a number cf successive accnts at White
earth as unusually progressive and
steadily advancing toward civilisation.
Agent Sutherland, now at the scene of
the trouble, in his last report to Sec
retary BliiS. just received here, says:
"There is no question as to tha ad
vance in civilization among these In
dians. Their desire to live in good
house-, their attendance at church
and their desire to educate their chil
dren, go to show their advance
towards civilization. I believe there
is less crime anions- them than in the
spates among tne same numoer oi
people."
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Jones to-day received the following
dispatch irom Indian Agent J. E.
Sutherland, dated at Walker. Minn.,
last night:
"The trouble at Leech lake origin
inated in consequence of an arrest
made by a deputy United States mar
shal of an Indian on a warrant. The
Indians overpowered the marshal and
rescued the prisoner. Troops were
sent here to ass.st the marshal in ar
resting the rescuers. I have been here
a week doing my best to get the In
dians to give themselves zp and save
trouble, but they would not. To-day
the troops and Indians had several
battles. The United States marshal
has called for more troops. "

would be landed on Bear Island at 6

Two hundred and seven picked men

ample reserve supply of 9.00C rounds

this morning that signal lights were
dashing back and forth on the oppo

feared that large bodies of Indians
from other
reservations reached the
Pillager camp during the night.
The tug Flora left at 2 o'clock this
morning to bring out General Bacon
and his men and pending their return
there will probably hz nothing done.
Indications arc thet both sides will
rest to-day, with fair prospects of a
resumption of hostilities to-morrow
' unless the Indians surrender in the
meantime or make overtures of peace.
j WASnrysToy, Oct. 7. At noon to-
i cay the government had received no
j further dispatches bearing upon the
Indinn uprising in Minnesota. At the
interior department nothing had come
, from the scene of the condict since
last night, when Inspector Tinker an
nounced the arrival of 215 soldiers at
Walker The ofSciaL, naturally showed
disappointment as time passed with
out the receipt of a telegram from the
I front. The department is puzzled to
1 understand why Indian Agent Suther
! land has not communicated, as both he
' and Inspector Tinker had been in
structed to report fully and freqnentlv
to iJie department.
j The repcrt that the 3Iille Lac In
i dians had. started upon the warpatu to
i join the Pillagers, was given little
, credence, and the interior department
authorities insist In their belief that
the uprising is confined to the small
band on Bear Island. Commissioner
Jones to-day said there need be no
I alarm over the fate of General Bacon's
command, as there were ample facili
ties upon the island in the way of lnm
j ber. etc., for the protection of the
troops.
The autnonties now believe the
troops available in tha vicinity are suf
ficient to suppress the uprising, as the
Indians engaged can scarcely number
over 130 or 200, and they believe there
is little danger cf reinforcement from
neighboring Indians.

stories that he has been poisoned or
that he is dead. It is not possible to
say positively just what sources of in

known that they are regarded as en

China is not believed by the depart

is the decision not to foUow the course
of certain European governments in
