discovered, through their Indian friends of
years standing, that a raid and massacre has
been fully decided upon and maturely planned.
General Miles is thoroughly conversant with
all these facts, and himself says that our situa-
tion is extremely critical. There are less than
600 soldiers here now all told. The party sent
to Wounded Knee to bury the dead Indians, re-
turned late last night. They found and buried
eighty-four bucks and sixty-three squaws and
children. It was also found that five had been
buried by the Indians. In addition to this total
of 152 we have heard now and then of others
who have been carried away by hostile scouts,
etc., sufficient to swell the number of dead
Indians as a result of the battle of Wounded
Knee to 200, with several others yet to die in
the improvised hospital here.
