Assooiatcd Press Dispatches.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 22. ?A specialfrom the correspondent of the Bee at

Pine Ridge agency, received at a latehour tonight, contains the most startling

news yet received of the Indian trouble.It is to the effect that William McGau,formerly a government scout, and now arancher, arrived at the agency thisevening with a story of a plot to massa-cre the soldiers under General Brooke.He enjoys a wide friendship among theIndians, and a few nights ago stoppedat their camp. When supposedto be asleep he was really

awake and listening to the plan out-lined by the bucks. The place wherethey hold the ghost dance is a narrowvalley, on two sides of which are denseclumps of trees. The Indians plannedto keep up the dance until the soldiersinterfered. Then the devilish plot willbe put into execution. The dance willbe kept up in the middle of a naturalamphitheater, and when the soldiersdefile down the valley between the treesthe hundreds of Indians whowill be concealed therein willmow them down with their rifles.McGau says they talked the matterover in tbe most calculating manner,figuring just bow they will dispose ofthe braves so as to insure the killingofevery soldier. McGau, as soon as hecould get away, hastened to the agencyto inform General Brooke of the awfulfate projected for him. This story hasremoved from the minds of the officersthe last doubt of the bloodthirsty spiritthat has taken possession of the In-dians.

THE GOVERNMENT NEWS.

Official Reports From the Scene ofTrouble.

Washington, Nov. 22. ?The war de-partment has authorized the number ofIndian scouts in the division of Dakotato be increased by five hundred men.They willbe selected from the Indianpolice and other disciplined Indians.Major General Schofield this afternoonsaid every hour passed without an out-break, brightened the prospects for apeaceful settlement of the pending dis-turbance. Secretaries Proctor and No-ble were in consultation this afternoonwith the president, who manifestedmuch interest in the subject, and de-cided that two regiments of cavalry

should be sent to Pine Ridge from Ari-zona and New Mexico. Dispatchesfrom General Miles state that the separ-ation of the friendly and turbulent In-dians is proceeding rapidly at PineRidge. General Brooke anticipates noimmediate trouble, and thinks separa-tion will make easier the task of re-straining the turbulent Indians fromovert acts. Telegrams have been re-ceived confirmatory of the reports thatthe Messiah craze is rapidly extendingnorth, and across the Canadian line,under the operation of Sitting Bull'semissaries. >'

Acting Indian Commissioner Belt hassent a circulai to all Indian agents, ex-cept the agents of the tribes in Dakota,in regard to the ghost dance. He says:"Itis very important, in view of the ten-dency of such excitement to obtain ageneral hold upon the Indians, that theoffice be kept advised as to the conditionof affairs at each agency, with the viewto the adoption of all proper precaution-ary measures to prevent an outbreak ofthe Indians and enforce obedience bythem to all the regulations of this de-partment. You are therefore instructedto keep this office fully posted by letter,or by telegraph if the emergency shouldrequire."

Acting Commissioner Belt has re-ceived the following telegram from AgentDixon: "The Indians at Crow Creekand Lower Brule are under good con-trol. Have had three leaders from otherreservations under arrestat Crow Creek,and discharged them under promise ofgood behavior. The Indian police aresufficient protection under present indi-cations. There are no Indians awayfrom the reservation bo far as the policecan ascertain."

GHOST SEANCES.

Weird Incantations Kept Up Inthe Vicin-ity of Pine Ridge.

Omaha, Neb.', Nov. 22. ?A special tothe Bee from the Pine Ridge agencysays: Two of the most reliable scouts inthe government employ report to Gen-eral Brooke that last night 160 lodges ofthe vvounded Kneo fanatics, includinggome of the most desperate and treach-ous redskins in thia part of the country,moved to White river, twenty milesnorth of here, and again begun the ghostdance, in a wilder manner than knownthus far. The scouts talked with sev-eral leaders, and all declare that theywould shoot any government officials orsoldiers who attempted to suppress thedance. This ia by far the most menac-ing news that has come to GeneralBrooke since hia arrival. The Indianain these 150 lodges are armed with Win-cheaters, navy revolvers and knives,have large quantities of ammunitionand provisions, and are receiving heavyreinforcements hourly. Gen. Brooke re-ceived a telegram from Gen. Miles lastnight, giving him power to call just asmany more troops to this point as hedeemed expedient.

Some ofthe acouts and Indian policesent out Thursday to notify the non-dancing faction to move into tbe agencyprecincts until the trouble was settled,have returned. They report the friendlyIndiana willingto come in. Some havealready done so, and it is believed allwillbe in by Sunday night. The dan-

gerous work of bringing tlie disturbersto time will begin Monday morning.

(ieneral Brooke has received an in-timation that the war department willcertainly insist upon the suppression ofthe ghost dance at all hazards. Boththe commandant and the agent weregreatly chagrined and nettled at learn-ing last night that another lot of some300 Rosebud warriors had put in an ap-pearance, as if they had risen out ot trieearth, only twelve miles northwest ofhere, and were preparing to establish aghoat seance. These all have Winches-ters, and are loaded down with ammu-nition.

WON'T STOP DANCING.

A .Master of the Ghost Dance Writes anInsolent Letter.

Omaha, Nov. 22.?A special to theBee from Pine Ridge agency says: Cen-sus enumerator Bee, who arrived thismorning from a trip through the moredistant portions of the reservation, is ofthe opinion that the ghost dances willresult in trouble before many days. Thesettlers on the borders of the reserva-tion, he says, are flying out. GeneralBrooke is non-committal, but evidentlymuch troubled. He thinks the crisis isnot far away. Agent Royer received acommunication from Little Wound,high priest of the dancers, inwhich the chief says he wantsto know what the soldiers arecoming for. The dance is a religiousone, said he, and we are going to keep itup until spring. If we find the Christdoes not appear we willstop, but not inthe meantime, troops or no troops. Heannounced that he would start anotherdance .at Medicine Root creek tomorrowmorning. He said he had been in-formed that the soldiers would stoptheir rations. He does not care, he says,as what they get does not amount toanything, but if such is the case hewants to know,so his people won't havethe trouble of going to the agency. Heconcluded with an emphatic reiterationthat they would not stop dancing. Dr.Royer has not yet replied.

DRAWING IN HIS HORNS.Sitting Bull Stops tho Ghost Dunces in

His Caiup.

Minneapolis, Nov. 22. ?A StandingRock agency special to the Tribunesays: Major McLaughlin's visit to Sit-tingBull's camp had the effect of stop-ping, for a time at least, the ghoatdances. McLaughlin received a letterfrom Bull yesterday, who says he hastaken his friend's advice and stoppedthe dances. Bull's child is very sick, orhe would come to the agency today todraw rations. Itis reported here todaythat Bull's followers are growing less,because the Messiah has not appeared,and that discourages the chief. Theagent thinks the re is no probability oftrouble here at present, and may not bethis winter or spring. He is "workinghard on the Indians with a score of ableassistants, and makes a strong argumentagainst the craze. The people en theeast side of the river are fleeing for theirlives, with no one in pursuit. The ex-citement is all unwarranted. The reportof a massacre forty miles south is be-lieved to be unfounded.

SCARED SETTLERS.

The Alarm General AllAlong the EastSide of tho Missouri.

Minneapolis, Nov. 22.?The Tribune'sAberdeen, S. I)., special says: Reportsindicate that the Indian scare is generalall along the east side of the Missouririver, north of Pierre to Mandan. Thesettlers are becoming very much alarm-ed and fleeing to the towns, leavingmost of their possessions behind them.At Gettysburg there seems to be themost excitement, and Governor Mel-lette has gone there tonight with alarge supply of arms and ammunition,hoping to quiet the alarm. Telegramswere received by him tonight from sev-eral points asking assistance. Dispatchesfrom the commanders at Forts Yatesand Supply, say everything is quiet. Itis evident that most of the alarm iggroundless.

GRAVE DANGER.

An Outbreak Expected in the Spring, ifNot Sooner.

Minneapolis, Nov. 22. ?A special tothe Tribune from Mandan, N. IX, says:Settlers were coming into Sims, fortymiles west of here, all day ; roving bandsof Sioux scared them. More guns wereshipped tonight.

A dispatch from Fort Keogh statesthat the Twenty-second infantry leavesKeogh Monday morning for Fort Lin-coln. Itis reported at Keogh that thetroops at Ellis and Missoula have re-ceived orders to be ready for active workin North Dakota. The actions of the In-dians satisfy everybody that grave dan-ger exists oi an outbreak in the spring,if not before. Parties in today fromMercer county report insolent behaviorof the Indians.

NO GROUND FOE ALARM

But Settlers Are Fleeing for Their Lives?lust the Same.

Mandan, N. D., Nov. 22.?Sheriff Bur-genbeimer this morning received a tele-gram from Sims, a town forty mileswest of here, stating that people arecoming in from the Muddy and Heartrivers, having been warned by theSioux to look out for themselves. Thesheriff shipped forty guns to Sims andHebron. Captain Halleren, the com-manding officer at Fort Abraham Lin-coln, maintains that there is no groundfor alarm.

THE SCARE SUBSIDING.

Tho Danger Believed to Be Confined toa Few Agencies.

Minneapolis, Nov. 22. ?The Tribune'sBismarck special says: The Indianscare in this section is subsiding. Adispatch from Governor Mellette ofSouth Dakota to the officials in Bis-marck, says these is no foundation forthe rumors of Indiana crossing the riverinto Campbell county, and all rumors ofan outbreak in South Dakota are un-founded. The danger now is believedto be at Pine Ridge and other southernagencies.

No Danger of An Uprising.San Antonio, Nov. 22.?General Stan-

ley, commanding the department ofTexas, said today fie had received nonotification 'from the department re-garding troops for the Indian country,as reported last night. He also said hethought there was no danger of an up-rising.

EMBARRASSED BANKS.Depositors In a Chicago Bank Left in

the Lurch.Chicago, Nov. 22.?The private bank

of W. L. Prettyman, on the north side,closed itsdoors this morning. Prettymancould not be found, so no statement ofthe assets and liabilities was obtainable.Many poor people's hard-earned savingsare involved. Lyons Bros., dealers incrockery, have $15,000 on deposit. Thisis believed to be the largest single loss.

This afternoon an assignment wasmade to the cashier of the bank, John-son, and at the same time he was madethe assignee of the North Division lum-ber company, in which Prettyman iathe heaviest stockholder. Prettymanalso assigned his real and personal es-tate. The assets and liabilities of thetwo conceniß, and Prettyman's estate,will reach, it is believed, a million dol-lars. Assignee Johnson refuses to makeany statement of the assets or liabilitiesof either the bank or the lumber com-pany. He said the cause of the assign-ment was the tight money market andits bad effect on the lumber company.This concern and the bank were closelyconnected. One of the former depositorsin the bank, however, who asserts tohave a pretty good knowledge of itsail'airs, believes the liabilities of thebank will reach half a million, and theassets are problematical. He saidPrettyman has been speculating heavilythis year in real estate, and putting uphouses for sale, and that the businesshas not proved profitable. A large num-ber of depositors in the bank are poorpeople. ,

A LARGE FAILURE.

The Largest Rolling Stock Company inthe World Embarrassed.

Chicago, Nov. 22. ?The United States"Rolling Stock company haa beon placedin the hands of a receiver; liabilities,$3,81(3,000; assets, $6,053,000. AttorneyHigh, of the company, says the failurewaa precipitated by slow collections anddepression in the money market. Thecompany is the largest builder of rail-way cars in the world. It has plants atHegewisch, 111., Decatur, Ala., Annis-ton, Ala., and Urbana, Ohio. The cap-ital stock is $4,000,000. The assets con-sist of the plant at Hegewisch, worth$2,000,000; tlie plants at the otherplaces mentioned, worth $1,500,000;car trust bonds, worth $1,533,000;rolling stock leased to various railroads,worth $300,000; supplies and materialivprocess of manufacture, $1,100,000,and accounts amounting to $300,000.

It is understood that the failure isdue to the inability to collect $300,000due from various roads for the rent ofcars. The property was put into thehands of a friendly receiver, that thiarent may be realized on.

The company employs 2200 men. Itscaah payments to employees and for ma-terial arc $600,000 monthly. Stringencyin the money market compelled therailroads which bought cars of the com-pany to pay their bills in long timepaper, inatead of cash, and it has beenextremely difficult to discount thepaper. Judgo Blodgett, of the federalcourt, appointed A. Hegewisch receiver.Hegewisch ia the president of the com-pany. The judge ordered the receiverto continue tlie works.

New York, Nov. 22. ?Vice-PresidentRoys, of the United States RollingStock company, made a statement to-night in conformity with that made bythe offiicials of the company in Chicagotoday. He said auxiliary proceedingswill be had in all the states where thecompany has property. All the cred-itors are satisfied with the arrangementfor a receiver, which is to enable thecompany to tide over the critical point.The London committee advised it, andthis feeling has been fully reciprocatedby the board of directors in New York.

Berlin, Nov. 22.?[Copyrighted 1890,by the New York Associated Press.) ?

The bestowal by Emperor William ofthe grand cross of the Order of the RedEagle upon Professor Koch was gazettedtonight. This is the first time thisdecoration has been bestowed upon any-one that did not possess the precedingclasses of the order. Though confidencein the ultimate value ofKoch's discoverydoes not abate, public disappointmentover the immediate results of the treat-ment grows daily. Professor Koch'sassistants and others estimate that17,000 cases have already been treated,the greater number of whom were suf-fering from exterior tuberculosis, andcomparatively few cases of tubercles onthe lungs.

Experts are beginning to concur inthe opinion that the cure of this diseaseis uncertain. Prof. Koch blames thepress for raising exaggerated hopes ofinstant benefit in every form of tuber-culosis. Many physicians are express-ingopinions. Some say that the possi-bility of the cure of lupus alone hasbeen proved, and not scientifically ea- jtablished. Lupus arises from the samebacillus associated with lung tubercles.Dr. Ullman, an eminent authority onbacteria, says it will take fullya year offrequent injections, besides treatmentunder right sanitary conditions, to en-able one to form reliable opinions as tothe curability of consumption, in eitherits advanced or early stages. Opinionsexpressed by others are varied, but jnearly all advise conservatism untilfurther experiments make more positivethe effect of the remedy.

A Blaze of War SmotheTed.

Acrisis in the eastern question hasbeen sprung upon tbe triple alliance bythe sudden adhesion of the king ofGreece to the project to foment openlyand assist a rising in Crete, simultane-ously with risings in Epirus and Mace-

Chancellor yon Caprivi andCount Kalnoky sent a joint note toAthena, warning the government thatin the event ofraeaaurea being taken to-ward war with Turkey, the drrebund'eaquadrona will blockade tbe coasts ofGreece, and leave the Hellenic army totake isolated action on the land againstthe Turks. The decisive character ofthis stopped the blaze of war over Eu-rope.
