INDIAN ARE MEASY
BIT GOV. CLCHDGH TftINKS THE
SETTLERS PBBL AMPLY
' PROTECTED
UNLESS THERE IS A CHANGE
Indians at Pine Point. Through M.
H. Craig-, Assure the liovcriuir of
Their FrienriliueN* At Ciihh
Lake the Chippowu'N Are Alho
Said to Be Wtthont Htmtlllry
Cien. Bacon Expected Here Today.
Ttlegraphie advices received by Gov.
Clough yesterday, from the seat of the
Indian troubles, indicate that all dan
ger to the towns has passed, as troops
are distributed ''all along the line of
road. As far as the state is concerned
the forces now on duty are wholly ade
quate to protect those living in the
towns against any general uprising, the
danger of which is now generally
thought to be past.
Gov. Cloug*h summed the situation up
yesterday, when he paid:
"We have now 450 men including all
the troonp distributed from Deer river
v v ast ancr south to Leech Lake, and
three companies under order at Duluth,
whL'h I consider at this time ample to
protect the eettlers in the vicinity. No
more troops will be called out unless
there is some radical change in the
situation, as it now exists. The In
dians are very restless and are roving
through the country. They are not
acting naturally. Some of those living
on the reservation and thereabouts are
very frightened, but there is a more
conservative set of men who are not
frightened, but are worried. The ar
rival of the troops have relieved the
fear of the settlers and there is a
generally better feeling. We have call
ed out the troops to protect against
any con-tingency which may arise in
the future. The government now has
pisns on foot to punish the Pillagers.
"The troops will be kept up there un
til all misgivings upon the part of the
settlers are set at re^t."
One of the important developments
of the day was a telegram received by
the governor from M. H. Craig, of Pine
Point, which teFs of a council of Chip
pew as which was held yisterday morn
ing, which resulted in an expression of
friendliness to the whites, in a com
munication addressed to Mr. Craig, a
homesteader, by Chief Ned Gay Dug
Bnanoway, who is the recognized h^ad
of the Chippewas at Pine Point. The
telegram reads:
NO ILL FEELING.
"Gov. Clough: I have received the
following in person today, from the
chief himself at Ponsford, who brought
it out personally to me:
"'Mr. Craig: We, the (,'hipp wa Indiana
at Pine Point, beg to Btate to the public that
we are perfectly friendly to the whites and
have no ill feeling or are In any way hostile
We have decided at the council to take do
part In the Leech lake trouble whatever.
— 'Ned Gay Dug Knanoway, Chief.' "
Col. Roland H. Hartley, of the gov
ernor's staff, returned from Deer river,
Cass take, yesterday. Col. Hartley
lived among the Chippewas for some
time and was able to talk with the
redmen in their native tongue. At Cass
lake he talked with "Old Man Fischer,"
the chief of the Chippewas at that
point, who expressed hospitality and
assured Col. Hartley of a friendly feel
ing on the part of the Indians around
Case lake. The chief seemed to think
that Gen. Bacon toad killed quite a
number of Indians, but he thought that
the Indians considered that they had
won a victory and would make a fur
ther stand agiainst the troops. Col.
Hartley said, in discussing the situa
tion:
"Both the artillery companies are
well quartered, in the hotels and rail
road stations tat Cass lake ami T>F"er
river, and are drilling every clay. The
presence of the troops has greatly re
assured the settlers, and Gen. Muehl
berg keeps well posted., as to the sit
uation at all other points along the
line. The Fourteenth regiment men
will be stationed at Bemidji and Far
ris some time this afternoon or, tonight,
and this will give all who live along
the line adequate protection.
Early yesterday morning Gov. Clough
received the foil-owing message from
Gen. Bacon: "Orders sent Sturgis yes
terday to' send two companies of the
Fourteenth volunteers along Fosston
branch. No change this morning.
" — Bacon."
The following other messages were
received by the governor yesterday
from the seat of war. One from Maj.
Libbey, stationed at Cass Lake, read:
"Keep me posted by wire as to movements
and situation at Walker. Bear Island and else
where. It is absolutely necessary in order j
that I may act intelligently."
Adit. Gen. Muehlberg wired from Deer
River:
"Have scouts? out to get reliable informa
tion. The people are more frightened all
along the line. More troops should be stationed
west of here. Bemidji very much excited. If
nothing happens I will return to St. Paul at
noon."
BUSY AT THE FORT.
It was a busy day at Fort Snelling
yesterday. Acting under orders from
the officers at the scene of the Indian
disturbances, ten days' rations for the
302 regulars of the Third infantry, who
are out to quell the disturbances, were
sent to the front, as W2ll as 15,000
rounds of ammunition.
Besides the above request came an
other to send up all clothing and camp
equipage on hand to help out the com- !
panics of the Fourteenth regiment now |
in the field. There was no surplus j
clothing at the fort and an order for a i
large amount had to be given to equip
the regulars. However, there are on
hand about fifty tents, and a few axea
and picks will be sent to the front.
There are still at the fort between
100 and 150 soldiers, who are able to
enter active service. These men are
daily expecting a call to the front, and i
at night they are sleeping on their |
arms. Naturally they are anxious to
fight the redskins, if for no other pur
pose than to avenge the deaths of their I
six brave comrades and the injuries of
those now in the hospital.
The injured men in the fort hospital,
who were shot in last Wednesday's
bloody battle, are all improving nicely
and no further fatalities are expected.
However, the condition of Private John
Daily, Who had his thigh bone shat
tered and whose left leg was ampu
tated yesterday, is very critical, and It
is feared that he may not recover. He |
| is at the city hospiial, St. Paul.
The requisition for additional rations,
ammunitio-n and equippa#e for the
troops of Gen. Bacon and Lieut. Col.
Harbach proves that the redskins are
| not whipped and that these experi
enced army officers expect a vigorous
campaign before the crafty Indian is
brought to time.
BATTERY BOYS SENT.
Th (me Who Were Xot Reached at

Capt. G. C. Lambert, adjutant of the
| national guard artillery, left last even- j
ing over the Great Northern for Cass '
Lake, accompanied by. a squad of men !
frcm each of the Twin City batteries, j
When the call for the battery boys was
issued by Gov. Clough on Friday night,
there were some members of the com
pany who could not be reached. Those j
who were left behind were taken up \
last night and will join Maj. Libbey'a j
command this afternoon at Cass Lake.
Eleven menrbers of Battery A went,
and ten from Battery B joined the de
tachment when the train arrived In
Minneapolis shortly before 12 o'clock.
The boys will arrive in Duluth this
morning, and will take the morning
train to Cass Lake over the Fosston
branch of the Great Northern. The
following members of Battery A, St.

William Mclntyre, Hugh McElhinny,
Harry Hanft, St. George ; Max Wur

there is some change in the plans of [he
g* v t i nor the detachment which Wt last
night y/jJJ remain Ht Ca#»s Lake wifH
vie main bouy oi th c - &f. Paui company.
It is the Intention of the governor to
take care all the towns needing pro
tectlun north of Leed) Lake, and if
appeals come from any of the smaller
settlements, the comman-1, b>th at Cass
Lake and Deer Rivtr, will be split up
and be placed where they will be of the
greatest si rviee.
Evidently Cass lake will be about the
center of disturbance If any comes to
a head along this line of road. Re
ports have been coming in here con
tinually of danger at Bc-midJl. but there
is no immediate trouble there. Specials
are waiting on both the east and west
divisions of the Great Northern from
this point to convey troops wherever
needed at a moment's notice. Gen.
Muohlberg wires from Deer River that
Battery B will move here whenever
wanted.

the Indians at Bear island, underwent
a second operation at the city hospital
yesterday, when his injured leg was
amputated between the knee and the
thigh.
Already weak from four days' suffer
ing and loss of blood, Daily's condition
was iendered strious as a result of the
operation, and it was feared he mlgiit

DECIDEDLY~AMERICAN.
Manila l'rt>«* luduigci in Abuse of
American Methods.
MANILA, Sept. 1 (via San Francisco,
Oct. 10). — The Spanish newspapers In
Manila are reveling in the unprece
dented atmosphere of freedom and crit
icise the American authorities in a
way they never would have dared to
criticise their own government, for the
Spanish censor has now joined the
gieat army of unemployed, and the
United States censor confines his at
tention to cablegrams going abroad.
The Oceania and Popula of Aug. 31
ccntains a fierce article, entitled
"Chaos," pointing out that no other
word can describe the condition of
Manila under its new rulers. The ar
ticle complains that the American au
thorities have removed public officials
and have failed to appoint their suc
cessors, thereby creating great confu
sion and hardship to the population of
the Philippines. The editorial says:
"Thousands of poor trades people, la
borers, contractors and others have
been doing business for the municipal
authorities of the different wards, and
now everything is stopped, and the
poor people cannot even get the money
due them for work clone or gx)ods sup
plied prior to the surrender. To thou
sands in this city one small silver dol
lar makes all the difference between
starvation and contentment, yet all
the dollars in the treasury have been
seized by the Americans. Perhaps
some day all debts shall be paid, but
the artisan, the street sweeper, the
smiall storekeeper, Who does not know
where tomorrow's dinner will come
from, cannot feed his family on the
song of 'Some Day.' "
MORE SOLDIERS OUT.
Quite an Exodus of Typhoid Victims
Froun Minneapolis Hospitals.
There was quite an exodus of soldier* from
the Minneapolis hospitals. St. Mary's dis
charged five, while one each left Northwestern
and Astoury. Each of the discharged patients
went to his home on a furlough, pleased at
the kind care and ekillful treatment accorded
them in the hospitals here, but happy at beiug
able to return to their respective homes.
Each one was a typhoid fever patient and
all have been ill over a month, having been
left here when their regiment, the Fifteenth,
went East to Camp Meade.
Those discharged from 9t. Mary's hospital
are: Joseph E. Stevens, Company H, Brews
ter; Peter Sodergren, Company X, 1103 Tenth
street south, Minneapolis; Odin M. Hanson,
Company X, Rushford; Ralph Grave, Com
pany A, Long LAke; Stephen Stephens, Com
pany G, Luverne. Private Wilfred Burnell,
Company A, left Asbury hospital and re
turned to his home at Cloquet, Minn., and
Private Henry Cook, Co M, was able to leave
North western hospital.
From each and every hospital came the re
port last evening that their soldier patients
were convalescing as rapidly and satisfactorily
as can be expected. Most of the boys have
been victims of typhoid fever and now they
are in the stage of convalescence, while their
strength returns but slowly.
Fort Snelling hospital reported encourag
ingly. Several of the Fifteenth regiment
patients were discharged from there yesterday
and left for their homes in various parts or
the state.

Place* am Well Story oif the
Bravery of the Troops Under
(ien. liaeon's Command.
With frock coat, vest and pantaloons
riddled with bullet holes, Col. Timothy
J. Sheehan, deputy marshal and one of
the heroes of the Leech lake battle,
eat In his home at 831 Ashiand avenue
last right and modestly recited some
of his experiences in the fight.
"The fight," said the marshal, "was
a lively one. It was give and take for
thirty minutes. Gen. Bacon fought in
the ranks with a gun, and Maj. Wil
kinson and Lieut. Ross behaved gal
lantly, urging the men to keep cool
and steady. Our troops maintained
their ground in splendid style, and so
did the Indians. There was no advan
tage on either side. As fast as Bacon
found an opportunity to move against
the Indians he kt-pt at them until they
finally quit the field.
"I saw Maj. Wilkinson wounded the
first time, but I did not see him killed.
I was on the right flank and Wilkin on
had just gone along the line when he
was shot in the leg and was taken to
the hospital. Then he resumed the fight
but I did not observe him after that.
I was busy with some Indians that were
behind a fence on the right flank. I
ordered a squad of men and deputies
and police to charge the Indians. The
Indians had the advantage and it was
at that time that I was wounded across
the stomach. I fell and bruised my
shoulder and hip against a log. That
was my second wound. I was struck
by a bullet just as I was about to
shoot at an Indian. The bullet passed
through my right sleeve and grazed my
forearm. Then a bullet passed through
my trousers and several through my
coat. Altogether six bullets passed
through my clothes.
SHORTER THAN RIDGELY.
"It was not such a roaiing, rattling
fight as that at Fort Ricigely, which
lasted four days, when 180 men held
out against 1,200 Sioux warriors, but It
was a sharp, keen, cutting battle. There
was not a moment whi c it lasted, when
there was not a fusilade. The firing
was continual and there was no cessa
tion. To an outsider, not used to euch
things, it probably appeared bad, but
to one who likes that sort of thing and
can appreciate It, it was beautiful.
"How many Indiians were engaged?
My opinion is that there were between
50 and 100 in the fight. There was no
ambush, no surprise, though we were
not exactly prepared for attack. We
were putting out pickets when the bat
tle commenced. I do not want to crit
icise anybody, but I would not have
risked >a fight with such a small force
of men as we did. But Gen. Bacon
evidently did not appreciate the tem
per of the Indians. He did not realize
that the situation was so serious. But,
when he found himself in for a fight,
he fought with his men and proved
himself every inch a soldier. I never
before saw an officer of his rank han
dle a gun with his men.
SOME NEWSPAPER HEROES.
"The newspaper men acted bravely.
They did all that men without arms
could do. and, when they Baw that
they could be of service to the wounded,
they did everything for them. They
crawled with their faces to the ground
•and carried the wounded men from the
field, and they assisted in removing
the dead, and they are worthy of all
praise. I make no exceptions to this
statement.
"Did I save their lives? Well, per
haps I was the cause of preventing
them from being killed, but that was
an incident. I tried to be useful wher
ever possible. It was a hot fight, and
everybody had something to do. I kept
cool. The warmer the battle got the
cooler I became, for I knew we would
have to win or bust.
"Marshal O'Connor was removing
some prisoners when the battle began.
He had the Indians on the boat and
was preparing to arrange for the re
ception of others when the Indians
opened fire. I had arrested two men
and O'Connor bad taken three white
men for selling whisky to the Indians.
The Indians whom we did not capture
were among the warriors In the battle.
I saw several of them during the fig^t,
but of course did not get them. They
are now on Bear Island, Leech lake and
the point.
CONFERENCE A FAILURE.
"We held a conference yesterday
with Flatmouth's braves, but it was
very unsatisfactory. Flatmouth and
the other chiefs hiad promised to ap
pear, but they did not attend .the coun
cil. They were represented by their
braves, who had no authority to speak
for them. The purpose of the Indians
was to learn all they could of our
plans, without explaining their own in
tentions. There was to be another con
ference today, but I could not wait to
attend it. If the cojircil today d'd not
accomplish anything, it is my opinion
that further parley will be useless, and
the only thing to do Is to wade in and
wipe the Indians out. , There Is no
doubt in my mind that f he young bucks
from Cass lake are with "l^atmouth's
tribe at Squaw point, and they want
to fight.
MAKE THE BAD ONES* FIGHT.
"There should be mo more tempor
izing. The only thing to do Is to round
them up. Make the good Indians come
into the agency and make the bad In
dians fight. They could be starved out
if they declined to engage In battle or
to repent. They are hemmed In ow the
north by troops and Bacon's men on
the south. If they want fight, shell
them out and set fire to a few of the
islands and in that way they could b*
rounded up before winter. The govern
ment camnot give up the fight until it
subdues the Indians. The Indians are
the aggressors and they must be pun
ished. They know they have broken
the law and they do not knuw how to
get out of it. Even in council they
have no excuses to offer.
"As to the number of Indians killed
in the flg'ht I saw one dead Indian, and
our men brought in six Winchesters,
which seems to indicate that six In
dians lost their live.V
Col. Sheehan was asked when he
would return to Leech lake.
"I shall rest at home," he said, "a
few days, and then If Tarn wamted I
shall g-o back. But I hope I have
fought my last battle Mth Indians. I
ha.ye had all the glory there is in war
and I am satisfied. I •seldom shed tears,
but when I saw the bodies of Maj.
Wilkinson and his five brave men
whose lives were sacrificed in a fight
with such worthless wretches as the
Chippewas, I criei.
"I thought there would be trouble
with the Indians whpin bJwent up there
this time. I know most of them, having

been ag-ent there for several yearsf\and
from my frequent visits to the reser
vation, and this time the Indian^ whrf
were accustomed to greet me with open
arms, refused to shake Hands and
scowled at me. That proved to me that
trouble was brewing amd there was no
telling when it would break out. When
an Indian Is your enemy you do not
know what moment he may turn upon
you."
Col. Sheehan took one of Marshal
O'Connor's prisoners to Bralnerd yes
terday on his way to this city and
turned him over to a deputy marshal
there, who escorted him to Detroit,
where he will be tried. He was one of
the white men, but Col. Sheehan did
not know his name. "Now," said the
colonel as he shook hands with the re
porter, "don't make me too prominent
in this affair. Don't put in any fire
works."
HE BLAMES BEAULIEU.
Inspector Seeley DiMciiN«e» the In-
dlan Trouble at Walker.
DULUTH, Minn., Oct. 10.— W. E. See
ley, of Brainerd, chief timber estimator
on the Red lake reservation, is In Du
luth today, and he says that It la Im
portant that the government should
send a thousand troops into the Leech
lake country at once.
The only way to settle the trouble,
he claims, ia to surround the hostiles,
pen them up and corral them, and then
to capture or kill them off. He also
makes charges against Gus Beaulieu,
who he claims is largely responsible for
the trouble. He even charges that
Beaulieu has been keeping the Indians
informed of the movements of whites
during the last few days.
Beaulieu, it will be remembered, filed
charges at Washington against Seeley
and his estimators, and Seeley now
claims that Beaulieu worked up dissen
sion among the Indians.
ORDERED TO WALKER.
Capt. Roach Will Report to Gen.
Bacon for Service Ajgaluat Reds.
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.— Capt. George H.
Roach, commander of Company B, Sev
enteenth United States infantry, at Co
lunnbus Barracks, 0., has been ordered
to report to Gen. Bacon at Walker,
Minn., for duty in connection with the
Indian troubles in that locality. A
telegram directing that Capt. Roach
be detached from his post tor service
in Minnesota was received by Col.
Thomas F. Baker, acting commander
of the department of the lakes.
Capt. Ruach has had considerable ex
perience on the frontier in treating
with belligerent Indians, and that cir
cumstance is thought to have caused
his selection to serve with Gen. Bacon.
Capt. Roach is now on his way to
Walker.
MR. BLISS HAS DOUBTS.
Does Not Believe All He Sees in the
Papers About Indians.
OHICAGO, Oct. 10.— W. E. Curtis wires a«
follows to the Record from Washington:
Secretary Bliss and the officials of the war
department do not credit the sensational re
ports that are telegraphed to the St. Paul
papers and repeated to the other papers of
the country. They do not conform at all to
the official telegrams received at the war and
interior departments. Both the Indian agents
and the military authorities In Minnesota are
keeping a vigilant watch over affairs. They
report that only a small portion of the Pil
lager band is in a 3tate of Insurrection and
that no assistance or even sympathy is being
offered them by the members of the neighbor
ing tribes. On the contrary, the secretary of
the interior is advised from most reliable
sources that the old men of the Pillager, band
are using all their influence to prevent^any
further disturbance and to persuade the of
fenders to surrender themselves.
Gen. Bacon reports that the hostiles num
ber only thirty or forty young bucks, who
have scattered in the woods, and that no
trouble Is expected or feared from ths re
mainder of the band.
Under the Instructions of the president
they will be hunted down like any other
criminals. The United States marshal has
been directed to arrest at all hazards those
who were charged with illicit whisky selling.
It is proposed to treat them just as if they
were white people and punish them with the
full penalty of the law for the effect upon
other tribes. It will not do for the govern
ment to back down now.
As already Btated In these dispatches, the
trouble began with the attempt to arrest petty
offenders, and not only they but every man
who has assisted to resist the authority of
the government will suffer for it. Th? diffi
culty of detecting and convicting the offenders
Is realized, but pressure will b2 brought upon
the other members of the tribe in order to
secure their assistance. This is the principal
reason why Commissioner Jones has gone to
Minnesota- He will endeavor to convince th?
head men that it is their duty to assist the
government in the enforcement of ths law
and in bringing to punishment those who
violate it.

FACTS

Shortage of Supplies ut Santiago
Might Hare Proved Serious Had
Relief Been Delayed Better
Methods Might Be Applied In
Event of Another War Wit
nesses Catechized More Closely.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.— The war
investigating commission had three
witnesses before it today, Oapt. Culver,
of the Grigsby rough riders; Dr. Hysell,
chief surgeon of the Second division,
located at Camp Thomas, and Maj.
Gallagher, who was In charge of vari
ous commissary depots in the Santiago
campaign. Dr. Hysell's testimony
dealt with the sanitary and hospital
conditions at Camp Thomas. He said
that there was less typhoid fever in
the troops of the Second division than
in the other divisions, and stated that,
under his advice, the division had se
cure its water from outside springs in
stead of from the Chiekamauga river,
as he considered the river water lia
ble to be impure. Dr. Hys?ll said the
typhoid fever had been imported into
camp from the outside, and that the
increase had been due to the failure to
properly cover the sinks and to the
prevalence of flies. He did not think
it possible to effectually isolate typhoid
fever cases, as they proved so difficult
to detect in their early stages. All rea
sonable precautions had been taken in
locating the camp to prevent the de
velopment of disease. He admitted that
in case of another war by the experi
ence of the past more effective means
could be provided.
The examination cf Dr. Hysell was
conducted by Dr. Connor, of the com
mission, and wfU3 very searching from
a medical standpoint.
At the afternoon session the com
mission examined Maj. Hugh J. Gal
lagher. He had served as depot com
missary at Siboney, San Juan and
Santiago, and recently occupied that
position at Montauk Point. At Siboney
the rations, he said, were forwarded
almost as rapidly as landed. Only small
quantities could be landed, but the
commissary, during the stay at Si
blney, had been able to meet all requi
sitions made for rations by the troops,
and no one was ever refused. He
heard no complaint of lack of rations
at the front. At first they were able
to forward about 10,000 rations per
day. From Siboney the depot was
moved to El Paso, seven miles inland.
At this point there were never enough
rations on hand for even a day ahead,
and it was impossible to fill all the ra
tions. There was a shortage of coffee
and sugar, which continued for two or
three days, because of the high surf
at Siboney. All the rations were good,
but in some cases the hard bread
would be injured by sudden showers.
When this happened the bread was
thrown aside and new issued. Some po
tatoes, onions, tomatoes and canned
beef had been thrown away at Santi
ago, being- spoiled. Maj. Gallagher
said there was said to be a shortage
of lighters, but he was not able to say
whether this was true.
SERIOUS SHORTAGE.
Col. Denby pressed for Information
as to th* reported shortage of coffee,
and Maj. Gallagher said there were two
days when the men were without this
article. A storm was the immediate
cause of this deficiency, but if there
hud been a sufficiency of lighters this
deficiency would not have occurred.
The major said that to his knowledge
there was not a shortage of any ot>er
article o? food during the campaign.
Mr. Denby told him there was a oom
piaint of a deficiency covering a
month's time, but Mr. Gallagher said
he knew nothing of it.
"Suppose," asked Gem. McCook, "this
shortage of rations had lasted for seven
days instead of two, what would have
been the result?"
"We would probably have had to
fall back," replied Mr. Gallagher.
"Men cannot fight on short rations."
Maj. Gallagher .said that of the five
civilian h-?sit-t&ntft he had had, two
were inefficient and indifferent to their
duties. They were Capt. Lord, of New
York, amd Capt. Ryan, of Kansas. Maj.
Gallagher said the commissary supply
at Montauk was abundant and good,
while he was at that point.
Gen. Beaver today received a letter
from Mrs. Hugh Lang, Of Brooklyn,
who participated in the relief work at
Montauk Point, relating to her inter
views with President McKinley when
he visited Camp Wlkoff. She was re
ported to have paid that "two men
were carried out in a dying 1 condition,
in order to get rid of them." This, sho
says, she did not say, but she asked
if in passing through the wards the
president did not notice the number of
empty cots. He replied that he had
noticed them, and she requested him
to ask -why the men were in the de
tention and in some of the regimental
hospitals. The letter continues:
"I will also ask you to go back or
the conditions at the time Gen. TVheel
er arrived and investigate why no prep
arations were made to remove and care
for our sick and suffering soldiers. I
neve saw more unselfish and self-sac
rificing work umder the most trying
circumstances than waa exh*f>ited
by the executive officers of Camp
Wikoff, Paymaster Heysin*s and MaJ3.
Brown and Thompson. The sight at
the general hospital was appalling un
til the general work was taken up by
Lieut. Durfee, of the Second en
gineers."
