Oh. GoJ.' -Mm one
There vras sileuee aud anxiety in the
long range of winter cumi about the
a"ency. The Twelfth were gone. i:
Lody knew jast where; bat over Jo the
inrth over toward those frowning "Uad
Lands" all the more wild and treacher
ous now that the snow had niled every
rift and crevice, for the judged surface
was one inas of j.itfalls other battul
ions of horse were also gone, and the
vigilant watch ov-r those IudiajisliH
c lustering about their old haunts in the
valley was redoubled.. The heavier guns
of the field battery commanded the
smokv lodges the lighter l'ieces were
awav'with the cavalry- The infantry,
xanffied to their eyebrows, manned the
rifle pits and guard line and threw their
fchtltering wings over the di-st-rW
camps. For good or for ill. the crAs
was at hand. Whatsoever doubt had
existed as to the almost universal hos
tility of the Sioux was banished by the
events of the preceding week. The at
tempted ambush of Sergeant Ellis, cf
Eerriea's advance guard, the attack
c;Kn the scouts and couriers at the Por
enpine, and, lastly, the affair at the
Wolf, in which Brewster a second time
Lad gained distinction, ail iointed un
tiringly tj one conclusion: whatsoever
Xiiight "be their assurances to officials
iiiga in rank, to agents whose power
would be at end were war to ensue, to
telf constituted framers of public opin
ion, every 6oldier on the spot knew, and
well knew, that the Indians would be
jieaable only in presence of a formida
ble force of bluecoats, but that nothing
imt auibo-sh and massacre awaited the
whites who ventured forth unguarded.
Up to this moment, however, of all those
gathered at the scene the only troops
which had had actual colli.-ion with the
fcioux were of Derrien" battalion.
Far away south at the Pawnee old
Kenyoa hid been doing his utmost to
still the anxious fears among the fami
lies of the absent soldiers. There had
been livelv excitement when the papers
arrived giving sensational details of Ber
rien's wound and of the affair at the
Porcupine, bat it was as nothing to that
which prevailed over the tidings of the I
imminent peril in which Mrs. Berrien
and Winifred had been placed. That it
was just like Mrs. Berrien to iusist on
joining her wounded husband at once
was conceded by all, but opinions dif
fered as to the propriety of her course in
taking Winifred with her. This the
major decided by prompt assertion that
Idiss Berrien doubtless refused to be left
behind. "And. being a very lovely

And then came the dread news that a
fjreat land from the northeast, rein
forced by a reckless gang of fanatical
young ghost dancers from the Bad
Lands, had broken away, aii l that all
the regiments had gone to head themoff.
Far, without a fight, they cuuld net go.
The question was which regiment would
1 the first to meet thc-in. Then the
next night's mail brought the next day's
1 apers. and the Twelfth, having swuns
lse and being absent from the neigh
Itorhood whence were derived the items
tin which correspondents based their re-l-orts
aud editors their comments, shared
the usual fate of the absentee, aud hav
ing sustained the only casualties and in
flicted the only punishments yet heard
f about the agency, was ju.w coming in
for its fhare of the "tor.jours tort" to
which it was, of course, ji'.stly entitled.
Kenyon first glared at and tlioa exploded
over a dispatch which read somewhat r.s
f.41ows:

It was indeed poor Mrs. Thon who
entered, pallid, her eyelids swollen with
weer-inff. Old Kenyon was on his feet
in an instant and leading her to a chair.
My dear madam, my dear madam,
he began, "you must not give way so. I
as-ure vou there is no cause for such
dread and auxiety. Do btrive to control

-I cannot! oh, Mnjor Kenyon, I can

her nervous bands, rocking to and fro

".Sobbing, rocking to and fro in her
uncontrollable grief, the poor girl clung
to Kenvon's Land, and the old fellow s

Three hours later look upon the scene.
The open prairie on the hither 6ide of
the village is uo longer tenantless, as it
was at dawn. Two parallel lines con
front each other there.
In dogged submission to the orders cf
their captors and the mandate of the
big white chief which Las lx-en laid be
fore them, silent, sullen, mnfiled to the
eves in dingy rolie or blanket, the braves
have slowly moved out from their lurk
ing places among the tepees and shullJei
down the gentle slope until well away
from the outskirts of their town, and
just in front of a long, silent rank -f dis
mounted troopers they squat upon the
ground. No word is sjioken by either
side. Here crouch the savage leaders of
the hostile trilo. and, in long extended
line, scores of their fiercest and bravest.
mIlts still lurk among the sciuaws and
lodges. Others leer with glittering
tnali'-naiit eves from under Leai of
foul smelling robes or parfleches. Those
in the outing glance but furtively at the
blue lino before them. They are silent
as the dead, yet the war cry trembles on
their lips. They wait, but wait expectant.

crouch, readv for a spring. Tho word
has been passed that all arms must be
surrendered, and every arm is there,

being huddled awav to the farther side.

THE VENEZUELA.!! DISPUTE.
How Britaia Eat Fashed Her Territorial
Claimi Westward.
The Venezuelan controversy grows
out of oonditioiiH that arose in PZU when
treaty was signed lietween Spain and
the Hutch, which stipulated that the
Orinoco colonies should Iieloiig to tho
Spanish and the IXscquilio colonies to
the Hutch. At the time when this trealy
was made the di-lrlet which U now in
bqiute was uninhabited. Later e.lo
ies and detached settlements located
here and there within the territory.
Settlements in British (Julitna continued
to spread slowly to tho westward. The
KftMequiho river runs northward to the
Atlantic; flowing luto It from tho West
are large tributaries, draining thousands
of square miles. Venezuela insisinl, and
still insists, that what was meant by the
Es'scquibo colonies was the Dutch set
tlements on the Kssequilio river, and it
has always insisted that the proposed
boundary was the east bank of that river.
The British government finally bx.k the
I kim t ion that what wa meant by tho
treaty was not the Ksseqiiibq rlvcf itsolf.
but the entire watershed draining into it.
By assuming this position Great Britain
pushed lier ptissesoions iar to tue west
ward; but, even admitting her preten-
.. . , f ... , ..:i...
slot's, the waiersneu oi m ivbiuiipu
river euld not extend lieyoiid the Mr.ro
co river, which also Hows' northward and
into the Atlantic ocean, fifty miles to the
westward of the Ksscquibo. In IM1 tho
Sehomburgk line was run by Sir 1'olicrt
Schomburgk. The territory within this
line includes the larger part ofthe vadeys
if Mazanmi and the Cuyuni river, and
extends far outside the watershed of the
Kssequilio and to the great mouth of the
iriiKM'O. For such line there appears to
have lieen no authority of any kind, and
it is natural to conclude that tho object
was to establish a lwist at the mouth of
this great river and so. dominate its com
merce. The opposition of Venezuela to
this boundary ,is vigorous, and, finally.
in lsll- Iird Aberdeen, prime luniiHter
ofCreat 111 luin, proposed a compromise
line. Tho mouth of the Orinoco was
abandoned, and the line, starting from
the mouth of the river Maroco, swept
westward, including tho larger part of
the watershed of the Cuyuni river. n
Iil meantime, had indicated her
willingness to consider the lKnitnlary
liegiiming at the mouth of the Maroco
river giauting England in this way fml
svproifn:tv over dispiiteil tsirtions. The
controversy remained unsettled and
source of friction. Jord l(ra!ivil.e, m

claimed an aiiditional stretch of territory
of great importance and valuo along the
Atlantic coast lcyohd the Alierdeen
Ix.uiidary, but did not push her iosses-
sions as far as the Orinoco.
With the discovery of the Barima gold
fields to the westward of thcHchomburgk
Hue, as well as the Yuruan gold mines,
the value of the territory became evident.
England began to push her pretensions
to the westward. She gradually extend
ed the sphere of her activity and influ
ence until she has laid claim to an enor
mous tract, much of it lying west of tb
Sehomburgk line. The gold mines have
lieen largely opened by British West
Indian miners, who have Hocked there
in considerable nunilK-rs, and who have
t iken with them their own methods ol
government. Nevertheless, while ;re:il
liritain has claimed this territory she has
indicated a willingness to arbitrate as to
her riclit to anv territory west of the
S.-hnmburgk line, but haa alwohitely de
ciined to refer to arbitration her rights t
anv territory east of that lino. If slu
maintains this attitude she wiil be al l
to keep her grip upon tlio mouth of the
MriniH'O river. Weil informed explorers
and mining engineers who have visile,
the region claim that the gold fields ex
tend for some five hundred miles from
the Orinoco river to the Brazilian bound
arv. and look forward to their future de
velopment on a scale equal in import
ance to that now going on in the mine's
South Africa.
