WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. — General Schofield this morning received a telegram from General Miles, dated at Pine Ridge Agency, January 1st, saying that three thousand Indians, including about six hundred bucks were encamped in the Bad Lands, about fifteen miles from Pine Ridge Agency.
All Avenues of escape are closed by the troops.
General Miles says that the Indians have gathered some cattle and provisions They appear determined to make their fight for supremacy at the point.
General Miles says he will make another effort to get them back to the agency without bloodshed, and in order to do so he has established a regular seige.
General Schofield said there was no truth in the report that General Brooke had been relieved from command at Pine Ridge. General Miles, he says, has charge of the campaign, and has stationed himself at the most convenient point for general communication with his forces.
Secretary Proctor had an interview with the president on the Indian campaign this morning.
An Omaha Bee special from Rushville, Neb., says: It is definitely known that hostiles to the number of about 1,100 are fortified near the mouth of White Clay creek, and that General Brooke, with detachments of troops, is moving around to the north of them. General Carr is supposed to be approaching from the west and General Miles will make a dash from the south. The force thus engaged are supposed to be ample for the annihilation of the entire band, unless some unforeseen complication or misfortune arises.
Ambassadors from the hostile camp have again to-day been suing for peace.
It is not known here whether peace will be granted or not but the general opinion prevails that in view of the present action of the rebels in slaughtering troops while under a flag of truce not much weight will be given pretended repentance.
That the hostiles have bee largely reinforced within the past few days there is no longer any doubt and there seems reasonable grounds for the rumors that some Indians from other agencies or the British possessions have joined the Messiah.
A report has reached here by courier that foraging Indians from the main camp on White Clay attacked, last night, the ranch of Douglas, at a point a few miles west, and killed him and drove away his four hundred cattle. The rumor lacks official confirmation, but seems to be reliable nevertheless. It was also currently reported here this forenoon that a great row has occurred in the camp of the hostiles as to the advisability of surrendering. This also is not confirmed, but comes through a half breed courier, who claims to have just arrived from their camp.
Except in case of unconditional surrender, there will be a great battle before night.
