DANGER NOT YET OVER , rhoutands of Excited Indians OampcdNear the Pine Etdgo Agency , A SITUATION STILL MORE CRITICAL. No One Knows AVIint a Day or an Hour Jlny Bring JFortli ( speculation nsto Wlint the Troops nro Doing nt Rosebud. PINE Rmni : AOP.XCT , S. D. ( via. Hush- vlllo , Nob. , Nov. 27. [ Special Telegram to THE But ! . ] If It is the plain , unvarnished truth that the readers of TUB Bnn continue to wont regarding the situation hero , It Is found In this assertion : The chances for blood nnd trouble generally nro Just as good today as they were a week ago. Agent Uoyer's llrst exclamation to mo this morning was ! "Well , everything looks smooth on the surface tills morning , but none of us know what Is under. Thcro was too llttlo noise , too much hard sawing of wood last night among the Indians of both classes to suit me. " So much for Agent Hoycr's words. Tb6 expression upon his face Increased his meaning ten fold. It Is true all the chiefs re garding whom the most apprehension was felt the o whoso bands have been carrying the ghost dance to the furthest extremes hnvo come to the agency , nnd when you have stated the bare fact you have expressed all thcro is In their coming. The authori ties have arranged nothing with them yet whllo Agent Hoyor and Special Agent Coop er continue to coma from Interviews with thcso rebellious ones shaking their heads du biously nnd ominously and give mo unprint able information of a nrivatn nature such ns they do dally. I , for ono of the correspond ents hero , propose to continue to warn tbo publlo that thcro Is still grave danger from many thousands of tbo Indians of Pine Uldgo ngency , no matter how different a story other correspondents nt this point may sco lit to send out. To my certain knowledge TIIR BII : : has made hundreds of lifo long friends among settlers for hundreds of miles around this locality by giving the naked truth regarding the situation and by being honest enough to continue doing so. True , the chiefs of tlio worst bands have como Into the ngoncy. But have their followers , their warrior bands rornol Not a bit of it. Oral least exceedingly few of them. At least nluo- touths of them are sulking bade twenty-llvo to thirty miles away , still armed with Win- choUcrs and scalping knives nnd provided with nn umplo supply of provisions and am munition. Until tbcso Indians ate disarmed ; until a settlement has been imulo by the authorities with huso originators of this disturbance , the ituntlon will continue to bo just as critical ns I found It a week ago on my arrival. Indeed , the situation is moro serious than It wns on Friday last. It has been made so by the coming , within but fifteen miles of this point , of some thirteen hundred or moro yvarrlors from the Rosebud agency. This body of rodsldiifl , us uotcd in my dispatches of forty-eight hours ago , bavo reached that flegreo of boldness ns to plunder * the hastily loft homes of Bottlers , nnd now tbo news comes that they arc not Jcontcnt with pillaging every habitation they como across , but have commenced to burn the bouses and stables after having gutted them. I predict hero that the troocs hero will be ordered to disarm or shoot down the maraud ers within forty-eight hours from tonight , and when the troops do start after thotn the end will bo ro Ouster affair. The move will undoubtedly bo made under coyer of darkness nnd by a forced march. The attack and finish will both occur be tween the rising nnd setting of the moon. The sccno of action will bo some fifteen 01 twenty miles northeast of here , thus putting forty to fifty miles between tdo correspond cnts and the telegraph office , which Is a fact not to bo anticipated wltb any degree of satis faction , particularly It the battle should gc heavily against us. > Special Agent Cooper has been Informci that a panic has taken place at Rosebud ani a very large majority of them have made t break for this point and hnvo arms. Will wo over got out of this with our hair or will wo got out of it at all ) are the qucs tions that this latest news suggests. Another question Is : What are the troop : atHosebud doing all this tlmo 1 Dispatche : nro flying thick nnd fast to nnd from the of flclals and telegraph ofllcc. Next to thi news about the panic among the Rosebud In dlans , wo have today had tha * , most oxcltlni of routine events on the rcservntlon life tin issue of beef to the Indians. The issue \m a small ono , the greatest ono of the year com Jug two weeks hence , when nearly thrci hundred cattle will bo portioned out , Tbo government corral Is situated nbou two miles cast of the ngency , and in nppear nnco reminds ono of the country stockyards such as are seen nt llttlo stations along thi road. Tbo Issue of today consisted of ubou ninety steers. The Indians formed upoi cither sldo of a long chute , nnd us the nami of a head of a family was callei n steer was let loose and chasci out over the plain by the family to whom 1 was portioned. In many Instances the In dlans would chase their steer a mlle nnd i half before getting near enough to shoo or lasso It justas they wantci to. The apportioning occupied nbou on hour mid when the last stcc bad been lot loose tbo plains for miles nroum presented the most wildly exciting scene tha is possible to Imagine. From thrco to to thousand ponies were flying after each ono o the ninety crazed animals. The dU play of dexterity nnd savagery was wli nesscd with the keenest Interest , particular ! by the , tnany blue coats who were present Nearly all the animals wcro fearfully pooi IndoeJ , thojMvoro the poorest lot of cattle ever saw In my life. After they nil had bee killed { ha squaws and old men catno up an skinned , dressed , cut up and loadc the carcasses either Into wagons or on ponlc leaving scarcely a particle of the animal b < lijnd , Nearly or qulto nil of the troops had Thanksgiving dinner of turkey or chlckc mid spent the afternoon principally hi rcat Ing THE BKB and letters from homo. Latu this afternoon two vet relinblolndlanpollcomaunumod ! Hawk Heai ana Big Horse dashed Into the ngoncy wit the most alarming news. They said that la : Friday they discovered that their famllU bad been stolen by a band of 200 Ii mans that had deserted from Hosobu n few hours before and bad rushed ole lo Join tbe 1,800 , other Indian deserters wl are now only fifteen miles northeast of Pit Itldo ngoncy. When Hawk Head and Bl Horse discovered their families were mlsslti they Immediately sot out In pursuit of U COO deserters In order to regain their famlllc The deserters refused to glvo up U families of the policemen. The latter begged nnd entreated the deserters to glvo them back their wives nnd children , but they only got curses and threats of their lives. Before they got nwny from the band the members of the latter said : "Go nnd tell the soldiers at Pine Kidgo ngency wo nro n part of the 1,300 other Hose- bud Indiana now near Pine ridge agency nnd that from now on wo are going to kill every white person wo meet , nnd If tbo sol diers como wo are ready for them. Special Agent Cooper , who Is the only ofllccr accessible at this writing , considers this as the most serious news that has come In yet. It Is the llrst Instance wherein the Indians have been authentically known to threaten tbo lives of white settlers. 0. II. O. Without Foundation. CHICAGO , Nov. 27. A dispatch received by tha Associated proas this evening from Gen eral Manager Mellon of the Northern Pacific railroad said the report from Mlssouln.Mout. , of lighting between the Indians and soldiers Is absolutely without foundation.

Contradictory Jloportn. CHICAGO , Nov. 27 , General Miles today said that today's advices from General Brooke were of a very satisfactory nature. Ho confirms the report that Chief Llttlo Wound came into Pine Ridge agency yesterday , and says every hour seems to lessen the strength of the disaffected Indians.

The big free stand on the eastern side of the grounds suddenly collapsed , carrying down the entire load of human beings. Ills esti mated that there were moro than two thous and people In the structure nt the tlmo. A scene of Indescribable confusion and pan ic followed the crash , The occupants were mostly men , n great majority of them students from Ynlo and Princeton. There were also many women. They all lay in n confused nnd struggling mass upon the ground , many com pletely buried under the wreckage. The screams , shrieks and groans were awful. Many fainted away from the injuries they re ceived. In an Instant there was n general rush for that part of the Held and a score of policeman was soon engaged In pulling the maimed and wounded from the wreck. Oth ers lent assistance and wlttiln ton minutes the whole place was cleared. At first it was feared some were killed , but this proved unfounded. A great many per sons , however , were severely hurt , and brok en limbs nnd bruised heads and bodies were numerous. Many friends of the wounocd people had them carried away before tuoir names could bo learned. Among these whoso names were learned are : Charles Wilson , ankle dislo cated ; Cadet John Aqulllar nnd Pcrln Bar ney , of the military institute , Peoksklll , backs badly sprained : Emery H.

W. Fuller , scalp wounds ; George A. Johnson , contusion of the spine. A lot of boys , names not learned , who stood up on the top of the bleachers were badly- bruised and cut. The only ladles hurt were two Brooklyn women. The lowest estimate puts the number of people injured at Ilfty. whllo others place It as high as sixty or moro , Tbo stand was evidently in a most unsafe condition , for the broken timbers showed that many of them were nearly rotted In two , whllo the whole structure was the most illmsy affair Imaginable. Everyone claimed a very superficial examination of the struc ture would show It utterly Insuftlclent to sup port the crowd which would occupy It , Nn Omaha Boys Injured. The dispatches In the afternoon papers , glvincmengro details of the accident at the Vale-Princeton game , caused great anxiety in a number of the leading families in this city. Thcro are about twenty-five Omaha boys attending college who were known to bent nt the gnmo In Brooklyn , and their parents hero kept the wires hot throughout the even ing until it was ascertained beyond any doubt that no Omaha boys had been injured. It was certainly a very fortunate outcome for tbo Omaha people. "Won Hy Yale. NnwYonK , Nov. 27.

Nearly all tlio different colleges In the east were repre sented among the coaches. Their sympathies were evenly divided. The game was a great one , but the Prince ton eleven was overmatched. Their rush line seemed mere striplings compared with Yale , nnd frequently used bad Judgment. When the first half was ended Yale had scored 10 and Princeton nothing. When the second half bccan no ono was in doubt about tbo re sult , and a gloom had fallen over the Prince ton contingent. Their eleven seemed Inca pable of stopping the Irresistible rushes of Yale.
