THE CASUALTY
LIST REDUCED
Troops are Preparing to Resume Ag
gressive Operations Tomorrow Un
less the Pillagers in the Meantime
Deliver Themselves Up.
Minneapolis, Oct. 7. A Journal dis
patch from Walker says:
Men watching around the town
report that this morning lights were
flashing back find forth on the opposite
side of the lake, and are fearful that
large bodies of Indians from other res
ervations reached the Pillagers' camp
this morning.
The situation today is one of nervous
anticipation with uncertainty every
where. The tug Flora left at 2 a. m.
to bring out Bacon and his men, and
pending their return there wili probably
be nothing done. The indications are
that both sides will rest today with a
fair prospect of resumption of hostili
ties tomorrow if the Indiana do not sur
render in the meantime and make over
tures for peace.
Gus Beaulieu, who is well acquainted
with the Indians, has made a tour of
the lake, arriving at Walker last night.
He is confident the redskins will today
sue for peace.. Beaulieu was informed
that the four indians for whom warrants
had been iesued would be given up to
day. Beaulieu's optimistic prophesies are
not Bhared by the people of Walker. A
courier from a point ten miles north re
ports that during the past twenty-four
hours 250 Indians armed with Winches
ters, passed in the direction of Bear isl
and. The agency near here has been
abandoned. People in and aronnd
Walker are apprehensive of the outcome
and are demanding that the redskins be
pursued until they are broken in spirit
and thoroughly cowed.
Inspector Tinker has wired Secretary
Bliss asking for at least five thousand
troops. In all probability one-fifth of
that number will be sufficient.
THE KILLED
AND WOUNDED
Complete List of the Casualties in the
Engagement Wednesday.
Chicago, Oct. 7. The Tribune's cor
respondent at Walker, Minn., en route
to the scene of the engagement between
company E, Third infantry, under com
mand of General Bacon, and the Pillager
Indians on Bear island, says:
The steamer Flora has arrived here
bringing in the killed and wounded.
The following is a complete list of those
killed and wounded in Wednesday's en1
gagement.
Killed Officers : Major Melville Wil
kinson, Sergeant Wm. Butler.
Privates Edward Lowe, John Olm
stead, J. S. Wollenstocker, A. Zebett.
Wounded E. E. Antonello, R. Bou
cher, Ed Brown, John Daly, Chas. Fran
cis, Godfrey, Chas. Jeneen, A. Schuyler,
C. Turner, G. Wicker.
General Bacon is unhurt and all news
paper correspondents have been account
ed for and uninjured, although they
were at one time under the same heavy
fire which thinned the ranks of the
troops.
Lieutenant-Colonel Harback said that
General Bacon would come into Walker
from Bear island today, and a council
will then be held at which it will be de
cided what the next move in the cam
paign will be.
General Bacon sent word that the In
dians have scattered from his front and
taken refuge in the dense tangle of the
surrounding foreet. Lieutenant-Colonel
Harback expects part of the reinforce
ments at least will be landed on Bear
island at about 6 o'clock this morn
ing.
Two hundred and seven picked men
from the "Fighting Third" infantry at
Fort Snelling, in command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Harback, arrived at Walker
at 6 o'clock this evening, coming by
special and faet train from the fort at
St. Paul.
THE ORIGIN OF
THE TROUBLE
Two Braves With a Grievance Incited
the Rest to Vengeance.
Chicago, Oct. 7. The Tribune has
the following:
Some facts in connection with the
present trouble with the Pillager Indians
at Leach lake not generally known are
as follow :
A year ago a wjjite man was arrested
for selling liquor to the Indians. The
United Statee marshal arrested Min-
Jon-Dah, a Pillager Indian of Bear isl
and, who Borne years ago gained consid
erable notoriety by killing Chief Hole-
in-the-Day, and is reported to be a bad
and insolent Indian, having killed eeven
of his tribe in addition to the chief, and
is remarkable for his cunning and great
influence with the balance of his tribe.
He is a large and poweiful built Indian
of the dark, greasy type. He still wears
the old aboriginal blanket of his fore
fathers, and was never known to live in
aoy other habitation than a tepe or a
small tent of birch bark.
The United States marshal arrested
him as a witness against the white man
for selling whiskey to them, and took
him to Duluth, where the trial was held,
promising him transportation from
Walker to Duluth and return, a distance
of 190 miles, with all expenses. When
the trial wa- over he, it is said, had to
walk from Duluth to Walker without
money or food, and arrived at Walker
nearly starved to death.
He swore before his tribe that he
would never recognize a warrant or pa
pers of any kind Berved by United States
marshals.
When the fall term of court met at
Duluth M in-Jon-Dab. and another mem
ber of the tribe were wanted there to
give testimony in another case similar
to that of last fall. The marshals came
and arrested the two Indians and put
them in jail.
During their incarceration there was
intense excitement among the Indians,
and many threats of a rescue were freely
indulged in by the Indians.
Finally twenty of the bucks, during
the night of September 8th, made a
raid on the jail at Walker, and released
the two prisoners. The two Indians
made their escape to Bear island and
have been ever eince inciting the Indians
to rebellion and resistance of the gov
ernment officials, and this, coupled with
the alleged Pino Umber injustices, has
been the means of etiring up the present
troubl a

SPAIN READY
TO ACQUIESCE
She Has Hoped However to Exact a
Heavy Price for the Archipelago
Her Commissioners Manifest Con
siderable Uneasiness.
New York, Oct. 7. A dispatch to the"
Herald from Paris says :
Although the peace commissioners
themselves profess perfect satisfaction
with matters as far as they have so far
progressed, a certain amount of in
quietude is plainly discernible on the
Spanish side. Ttia appears to be un
doubtedly due to the firmness of the
Americans.
Report has it the United States in
tends to solve the Philippine difficulty
by insisting upon the cession of the
archipelago. This is said to be a hard
blow for the Spanish commissioners.
From the few details that have leaked
out, it seems that Spain hoped to deal
with the Philippines nnder the basis
established in the protocol that is, the
cession of Manila and one island for a
coaling station. Now, as Manila is the
key to the Philippines, the archipelago
would virtually be under the control of
the power holding it that is to Bay, the
United States. Spain, therefore, has no
great desire to keep the islands under
such circumstances, but. at the same
time, it hoped to sell them as dearly as
possible, but this hope is being scattered ,
if it is true that America, while retain
ing Luzon, the most important island of
the group, will insist at the same time
upon the entire independence ot the
other islands.
It is said that the Spanish commis
sioners have received very definite in
structions to refuse their agreement to
the cession of the island of Luzon unless
the United States will assume the entire
Philippine debt. As to the independence
of the other, the commissioners, it ap
pears, refuse even to consider it.
From one it is reported that the
American delegates intend disposing of
the Philippine debt question by the ap
pointment of an arbitration commission,
of which the duty will be to go into sta
tistics, so as to make clear how much of
this debt has been actually incurred for
the benefit of the Philippines, and how
much for that of the Spanish govern
ment and military officials.
The intentions of the United States as
just given certainly coincide with the
terms of the protocol, which prescribed
that Manila be retained, with an island
for a coaling station.
How to Prevent Croup.
We have two children who are subject
to attacks of croup. Whenever an attack
is coming on my wife gives them Cham1
berlin's Cough Remedy and it always
prevents the attack. It is a household
necessity in tbiejeountry, and no matter
what else we run out of, it would not do
to be without Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Mure of it is sold here than
