THE CHEYENNE OUTBREAK. Origin of the Indian Troubles at Fort Reno. GOOD CAUSES FOR DISCONTEN' Interior Life at an Indian Agency Described. SUCCESSFUL SUBTLETY OF THE REDSKINS, The Flight, the Pursuit and What Came of Them. Fort Rexo, L T., Oct. 17, 1878. acting under your instructions to visit the scene of the late Indian outbreak and gather sucno facts con- nected therewith as might bo of interest to the pub- lic, 1 arrived here a few days since and hasten to fur- Bish the facts as they really exist and the causes which led the Indians to go upon the warpath. Fort Reno, which is not located ou the maps, is a pew post comparatively, having been completed within the Jast year. 11 is situated near where the ninety-eighth jegree line of west longitude crosses the north fork ot the Canadian River and about one mile south of that stream, The situation is slightly elevated and com- mands a view of the surrounding country in all di- fections. The buildings are of wood, constructed in the ordinary manner, and are arranged on the four Sides of a square about two hundred yards across, Like most frontier posts, tt is a fort only in name, having no defences of avy kind, but consists merely of the quarters for officers and meno, stables, siore- Yooms, &c., grouped on the open prairie, STRENGTH OF THE GARRISON, The garrison conaiste of two companies of the Bixteenth infantry, numberiog perhaps seventy men, and two companies of the Fourth cavalry, of about Mxty-five men each, making a total of 200 men, From this number must be deducted the eick, attendanss io hospital, the cooks, extra and caily auty men, and Buch as are required for the various duties not under arms about a military garrison, redueing the effective th at ail timos below 175 men. At present the @avalry 1s absent in pursuit of the hostile Indians, ana the garrison, duriug the absence of these com- panies, 18 temporarily strengthened by about forty men from another company of the same regiment, serving at Fort Sill There are aiso at the post two Drasa pieces and two Gatling guns, in the use and service ef which the infantry ts instructed. I am thas particular in describing the post und its m: of offence and detence that the military respon! Dility, if any, for the late outbreak may be under- ‘wood. THE INDIANS AND THE AGENCY. About two miics irom tho post, and on the north Dank of the river, are situated the agency buildings of what is known as the Cheyenve and Arrupanoe Agency. Tue except the mission schoolhouse, which is quite a commodious building, are small cot- Sages for tne agent aud his employés, necessary store rooms tur Indian supplies and the lodian trader's store. The Indians belonging to this ageney number @ little more than five thousand, of which about 1,730 are Arrapahoes, and the remainder Cheysnnes, They are located in bands under their chiefs ofhexd me: at various points up and down the river, some of them being cearly fitty miles away, though most are in tne vicinity of the agency. They live, witnout ex- ption, in canvas lodges or tepeer, and being un- @leanly in their habits, they are olten removed from one piace to another, Their oniy wealth consists in their ponies, of which they nave large and constantly wpcreasing herds. Some of the Indian under Pressure trom the Interior Department, have attempted during the past summer to raise corn, mvloi &c., but their attempts wero ili-directed, and what was not eaten up green and trodden down Dy the ponies was burned up by the drougnt, which this year was unusually severe and long continued, The buffalo being quite extiact im this part of the country the Indians depend for their subsiatene almost entirely upon the supplies issued by tho govern- meat. These are jurnished pursuant to the treaties or egrecements made by commissieners with the Lndians, end asa condition of their relinquishing their rights to Janus claimed by them but required for settiemeut, such as the B.ack Hills country, As an additional ia. Gucoment tor settling upon reservations here the Andiuns were, in most cases, promised assistance and instruction in opening up iarms, a liberal supply of farming implements, baroess, wegons, stock, &c.

The time having arrived for t quarterly enrolment, agent, Mr. Miles, them to come im tothe agency and answer roll call, They compiasined that tuey coula uot do so because of sickness. ‘bis Was on the 4th or dth of September. Atfive P, M of the 5th Mr, Miles :nlormed the post commander, Colonet Mizner, Fourth cavalry, that 16 was reported that the Northern Cheyenn: gone rumor io order mueb time for preparation might ve afforded as possi ble. All the cavairy available was sent out at once under Captain Keudlebrock, of the Fourth cav- alry, with orders to visit the camps of the Indians wnat wight and parene at daylight the next morning should the report prove true This was not the case, however, a8 Todians were fouad encamped on the river only @ lew miles trom thoir former camp, and the change was accounted for by want o! water, he Indiaus were then ordered by the agent to como in to the agency for eorulmens on the 7th, But none came in except one or two ol the head imen, who stated that threo or four of their young men were absent huating, aud wou!d be buck in a few days, when ali would come in, but also claimed that many of the people were sick and unable to travel, Next day Dr. Hodge, the agency phy: ciao, and Mr, Covington, who represented tue agent, we otto their camp, the Jormer to examine into the alleged sickness and the latter (o urge compliance with the agent’s cirections, hese men visited the cump, remained about two hours, aud reported avout eighty sick, DUL none too Il Lo be removed the short ahd that the band was quite destiiute and tile intentions. At heariy the same time a friendly ludian reverted that tue squaws were digging rifle pits, Ihe agent, bowever, did not credit this report in View of tue other reports made. Next day, Monday, the 9th, nothing Was doue, as the agent wisbed te exhaust ail peaceable means for securing obedience to Lis orders and was conildent of succeed- ing. In the alternoon Little Wol!, Oid Crow aud Hog, three of tue principal chiefs, came im to the agency aud nada long aod triendiy taik with the agent. Mney aguin protested their willingness to come in and that they were only prevented by sickness among their people, They begged the agent to have patience with them ana they would do right. Both the agent aod Colonel Mizuer, who was present, believed they woud do so, and alter sundown the Indiags returned to their camp, 1t must be remembered that up to this ime these Indians bad committed no overt act, had remained peaceably on their reservation, and their ouly offence so tar as kuown was tueir delay in reporting as ordered, but which they excused as stated, THE PIIGHT AND PURSUIT. Next morning, at hail-p.st tree o’clock, it was found that the whole party bad gone, leaving their lodges standing, and stealing away in the darkness, unknown to the cavalry, whica was encamped within about four miles of tuem, AS soon ag possible the troops were away in pursuit, and then began the race for the north, accounts of whieu have beea published, and are iu ibe Main correct, This action was taken by Colonel alizacr pursuaat to a written request from. Agent Miles, dated eariy on the moruing 0: the 10th, aud which request Was the first apd ouly one mauve for military ussisiance, an order that the lunctions of amilitary commander regarding agency Inaians may ve understood, 1 quote extracts irom General Orders No. 28 of 1570 und No. 11 of 1874, from neaa- quarters Department of the Missouri, which are still ia force:— Under no circumstances except specific orders from De- partment Headquarters, of higher aushority, will any commander of troops assume jurisdiction or exercise cou- tro: over reservation {ndiaus or their ageuts, nor original orexecute wny act of their own volition in regu fuirs relating to Ludiags on such reservations. “W the services of trovps are needed, it will ve nece: the Inuian agent so to state in writing to the nearest commauder of troops, setting forth the reasons why tb troops are needed, and the spscitic object to be accom- plished. Upon receipt of such written statement the military com will furnish the required military lores, always commanded it possible by 4 commissioned officer, who will be uirected to repurt with his detachment to the Indian Agent, and to act uuder lis oruers. As bo such request was made io this case antil the 10tb of Septemver, and atier the lodians bad foally one, there Was ho moment when the commander here would have been justitied 10 attempting by lorce 1o compel acumpii.nce With the ageut’s orders be- fore tout date. Ihe most he could do—and what to fuct Was aone—was to send bis cavalry outto watch them, and also 1o seud a courier to Camp Supply, S distant, to request the co-operation aud of Hemphiil’s company stationed tuere. THE AGENT'S COURSE. ‘The agent bimseil iuiorms me that at any time be- fore the morning of the 10tn he shoula bave strongly protested against the employ ment of force, believing Wotl then that he could reach a peacavie solution of the troubie, Even in the light of subsequent events, wen it is known that the lodiaus had iwtrenched thems: aud all the tme intended jeaving, be deems is conduct to have been best, as an attack upoo the Indiavs, uuder the circumstances, would bave tended Lo excite the warlike elewont among tne young Icen apd might have proveked assistauce—as it certainly would sympathy—among tocm, und woaid have onus of commencing hostill- tes on the side of the government, ‘The fact was they bad become disgusted with the Country and tue treatment they received, und bad de- cided at all risks to retuco north.

YeLtowstoyg, M. T., Oct. 3, 1878, General Miles has arrived here on his return irom the National Park, His party consists of Mrs, Miles, Mrs, Captain Ewers, Mrs, Mojor Baldwin, Miss Sau- Jord, Miss Rice, Miss Baldwin, Colouel Baker, Major Balcwio, Captain Ewers, Lieutenants Carke, Long, Bailey, Mr. Wardman, correspondent = Znter- Ocean; Mr. Cowles, correspondent Chicago Tribune and Cleveland = Leader, == All_—stthe tourists express themselves as highly pleased with the Park, and the ladies look hearty potwith- standing their jong ride. Some of the ladies have rid- Gen over three hundred mites en horseback, and are Still able to take the saddie aod make their thirty mi 4s perday., The children, of whom there are sev. oemed to stand the journey best of ali, and wore never tired. Mrs, Miles sald, atter riding all day the ttle folks would piay {or ap bour or two after com- ing into catap, aud never seemea weary, but were al- ways hungry. General Miles describes his fight om Ciark’s Fork with the Bannocks as having been desperate in the extreme, and he never vould have won tue battle but for the bravery of all those engaged. The Crow In- dian scouts discovered the camp the day before, and the soldiers were ali night creeping up and get- ting into position aroand the unconscious Indians. Just at daylight the camp wus stormed with the ut- most gallantry ludians cut to pieces. 1 were vuly two officers im (he igh, Geucrai Miles and Captain Bensett, aod the latter fed shot through the heart, The soldiers numvered only iwenty-seveu men and thelr savage enemies had fifiy-nine warriors jo Caimp at the ime the assault wus made. “Rock”? and ove otber scout with 8 wore Killed and u sol. dier desperaiely Wounded, Whew the butte was over thirteen dead Warriofs Were counted in the camp und thirty-seven Were maue prisoners, Some oi tne horses taken from the ludiaus are worth $1,500, being the finest iv Montaoa, which they had stolen during their raid. Over two hundred bead of stock was taken bY General Miles. Ua bis return irom the Park, General Miles vieited the Territorial Fair of Montana, at Helena, and was the hero of tue nour. The General expresses hunseif ag very much pleased with Moutans, and says it is one of the fuest producing regions in the United States, The display at tho Territorial tuir was in- deed fine, and he doubts if any Stace could do verter. From here General Miles goes to bis post at Tongae River und willremain there during the winter, He has received notice of Sitting Bal’s runners and bu sent word for them to wait at Fort Keough woul b returos, Siting Bull is exceedingly anxious to tura to the United States, aud will submit to almost any conditions if he 18 only ullowed to comme back. General Sheridan avd most of the army ollicors are to Sitting Bull's return, and tuink i a good ung as they can keep him in the British possessions, Sitting Bull 1s represented as being sick and greatly discouraged, On their revurn to Fort Keogh General Miles’ ex- cursion party will break up und go to their bomes, Kev, Dr. Hoyt, of Brookiyn, and Mr. Rouse, of Cleve land, huvo already gone oustward, Misses Tice and rs, Cowles, Wardman, Jobn Hoyt and Oiuors Will Ko Lo Bismarck aod theuce over the Nort ern Pooito Ratiroad to st, Paul and the Kast, Mrs. Mile Will probabiy accompany them and spoud the Wiuter at her Lowe in Cleveland, and with ber ancies, Joun and Wiliiim Sherman, aud her ister, Mrs, Don Cam- cron, in Washiogtun, The Miles patty were greatly shocked at the reports of (heir massacre by Bannock ladians, puvliehed in the papers and frieuds 48 soun spent a whole day in telegrapaiog as they reached the telegrapa line ihe families of the excurmonist® living yn the Kast were greatly alarmed aod kept teiegrapoing Gener Sheriaun, Gioven d officers at frontier posts for several daye inquiring aiter tuetr irieods.

Proposed Alliance with the ‘Obstruc- tive’ Home Rulers. MORAL FORCE COMBINED WITH PHYSICAL, Views of Prominent Irish Nationalists— Standing of James Stephens. The home rule conference in Dublin, the result of which was chronicled in the special cable despatch from that city published in the Heraup of Thursday, Sogether with the action taken thereon by the Irish nationalists of the United States, as reported in Fri- day’s HERALD, is the subject of much comment among the Irigh population, and itis thought that the next few weeks will see a veritable “new departure” in Irish national politica, The change, it is said by those competent to speak on the subject, will take the shape of acombination between the advocates of physical forco and those who believe in constitutional agitation, such as willieave the former tree to pre- pare for active work white in the meantime giving a reasonable support to a dignified and maniy demand for sell-goverument on the part of the coustitution- alists, it bas deen felt fora long time by the more thoughbttul of the extreme nationalist leaders that a mere conspiracy would never achieve their ends and that a public policy was necessary so that the voice ofthe majority might prevail in Ireland, and a real public vpinion be developed in the country. Tney claim that the separatist party is in the immense ma. jority, and that it is only the policy of abstention trom public iife and the avoidance of constitutional agitation, which gives the apparent majority to those who favor connection with Englan! in any form. LINES OF NEW DEPARTURE. “A new departure is necessary,’’ said a prominent nationalist to a Hzxap reporter yesterday, “il wo ever to be properly understooa by the word, and especially by that portion of it which 1s inimical to England. We mustsecure the control ot the puolic voice of the country by electing men to Parliament and tothe local municipal bodies wbo will not mis. represent us, We have never been properly repro- sented, simply because siace the passage of the Bal- lot act—for before that 1t was imposssible—we have abstained from interference in elections, except on particular occasions, such as the elections of 0’ Dono- van Rossa and John Mitchel for Tipperary, and in these instances we demonstrated what we could do. Now, Ireland can never be freed through the British Parliament or by constitutional agitation in any form; but constitutional agitation i8 one means of advancing our cause, and we should avail our- selves of it. The world judges us—and, abovo all, England’s enemies judge us—by our public repre- sentatives, and in the times that are coming we can’t aflord to be misrepresente 'y jopger. here is no use sending meu to tne Britisn Parliament to beg, but we can send men there to protest before the world against Eng land’s right to govern Ireiana, aud when ail 1s ripe we cap command our representativos to withdraw from the Britis Parliament and mvet in Ireland as an Irish Legwlature, 1t 13 only through such meuns that the whole Irish race the world over can be aroused and their active sympathy enlisted, and when that occurs 1 claim thatthe work is half done and We cap wait patiently for the result.’’ “Do the Irish pationalists intend to abandon their physical force theories and mainly depend on consti- tational agitation ?’? ed the HEALD reporter, “Not by apy means, We simply don’t believe in Iitule 1usurrections that Eugland can crush ina few days or wecks, We propose that in the event of war Irelana sbali keep quict, at Joast tor a time, and sim- ply tormulate her just demandes, that the organized Dationalists outside of Ireland suall actively assist Engiana’s enemies and hart her whenever and wher- ever tuey cau, They can do this to an extent that is littie thought of now. This is our programme—peace at home, ucuve aggression ageiust Bogiana whirever a blow can ve delivered tothe best udvantage, This 18 all lean tell you jast Dow, and there is no use io asking me any snore abuut it.” CONDITIONS OF UNION. “To what extent vo you and your friends propose to support the active section of the home rulers ied by Mr, Parnell?” “we wou't support them at all, except they give up their sham ‘icderal’ programine and exclude seotari- anism from their policy.

Rules To Be Observed in Dressing for Evening Entertainments. SOME ELEGANT COSTUMES. What Will Be Most Worn by Gen- tlemen this Winter. There is a great variety as woll a great distinction in the toilets prepared for tall and winter evoning en- tertainments and public assombiages, and it ta well to understand that public opinion demands a strict adherence to forms of ctiquetie which involve good taste, No lady goes to the theatre witnout a bonnet, Ror to the opera in full dress—tnat is without a boo net and in a dress of light color—unless she occupt a box and is, therefore, to a certain extent as much at home as in her own parlor, It 1s better always toerr on the side of reserve and modesty than on that of display. A lady at an informal gathering, where the majority of the ladies presont woar high bisck dresses, feels herseif most uncom- fortably ou. of place in a {ull evening dross, tight in color, and made expressly to display a profusion of oraament. Gontiemen feel precisely the same when they are “caught out,” as they say, in a dress coat and white necktie, when the majority of the gentlemen present woar the ‘*Prince Albert”? coat and dark neckties. For- merly 1t was considered obligatory upon gentlemen to wear ovening dress at the opera. Now only those gevtiemen wear eveniog dress who are accompanted by ladies in full dress, who theretore go in 4 carriage and expect to visit Iadics in their bexes between the acts of the performance. It would be embarrassing tor a gentleman to find himself in full evening dress beside a jady in a dark walking or visiting suit Yot the lady would be pertectly right in the adoption of such a costume, knowing that she would be ex- pected to sit In the body part of tne building among 4 mixed assembiags 1b 18 no less embarrassing at a grand reception, in the midst of tue créme de la créme, among all light costumes of luce and silk, satin und brocade, to tiod one’s sell the only black crow, the one duli, dark speck among the lightness and brightness, Is wil therelore be seen how ary tt is to gauge one’s choice of dress by one’s habits and necessities and notalone by what is said to be the fasnion, What is elegunce to ove is plainoess or vul- varity to another, und its mach better to avoid the Vulgurity than to be asbamed of tue simplicity, White toilets ure as much 1p Vogue as ever, and are composed of the very ricuest materials, Waite sain is combined with heavy white sulk aud whito brocade with waite satin, and « beautitul white silk with satin stripes is of American manulacture.
