LOS ANGELES HERALD. VOL. 35.--NO. 78. FIVE CENTS. WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 31, 1890. HEAP GOOD INDIANS. The Terrible Slaughter at Wounded Knee. Big Foot's Band Almost Com- pletely Wiped Out. The Killed and Wounded Couut Way Up in the Hundreds. The Seventh Cavalry's Loss Twenty- eight Killed and Forty Wounded. Additional Skirmishes. Associated Press Dispatches. Washington", Doc. 30. ?The commis- sioner of Indian ati'airs this morning re- ceived the following dispatch from agent D. F. Royer, dated Pine Ridge Indian Agency, December2oth : "On Wounded Knee creek, this morning, while the soldiers were disarming Big Foot and his band, after his surrender, a fight took place, which resulted in the killing of about three hundred Indians and sev- eral soldiers, including Captain Wallace, with a number of wounded. Two Strike and party, camped on White Clay creek, just below Red Cloud's house, opened fire on the agency from the hill tops opposite the boarding school, wounding two soldiers. The police returned the tire, killing two of Two Strike's Indians, and wounding two others. Two Strike and band have retreated in a northwesterly direction from the agency, and are supposed to be trying to make their way back to the Bad Lands. Thus far the Pine Ridge Indians have taken no active part in the war, but Big Foot, Slow Bear, Kick- ingBear and Two Strike have been, and are, active in the disturbance." THE SLAUGHTER AT WOUNDED KNEE. General Bchofield this afternoon re- ceived the following telegram from Gen- eral Miles, dated Hermosa, S. D.: "General Brooke telegraphs as follows: Colonel Forsythe says sixty-two dead Indian men were counted on the plain, where the attempt was made to disarm Big Foot's band, and where the light be- gan. On other parts of the ground there were eighteen more. These do not include those killed in the ravines where dead warriors were seen, but not counted. Six were brought in badly wounded, and six others were with a party of tw T enty-three men and women which Captain Jackson had to abandon when attacked by about 150 Brule Indians from the agency. This accounts for ninety-two men killed and leaves but a few alive and unhurt. The u'ouion and children broke for tho biUa when the light cornineneeo, and com- paratively few of them were hurt and few brought in. Thirty-nine are here, ?t ?.i,:?i, «>,mi, er twenty-one are ot been for the attack ccurate count would ut the ravines were i wards. I think this ? from Big future.

The surgeon general has received from Medical Director Bache, at Pine Ridge, a report of the casualties among the troops at yesterday's fight, as follows: "Captain Wallace, twenty-five men of the Seventh cavalry, and one Indian scout killed. Lieutenant Garlington, of the Seventh cavalry; Lieuteuant Haw- thorne, of the Second artillery, and thirty-eight men wounded. Many of the wounds were severe. Hospital Steward Pollock was killed. We have also about thirty wounded Indians? men, women and children." HEAVY INDIAN LOSSES. The commissioner of Indian affairs,late this afternoon, received a telegram from Special Agent Cooper, at Pine Ridge, Baying in yesterday's fight 150 Indians were killed and thirty wounded and cap- tured. He also states that the Indians attacked a wagon team this (Tuesday; morning, two miles north of the agency, killing one soldier of the advance guard. THIRTY MORE lIRAVEB KILLED. Omaha, Neb. Dec. 30.?A Bee special from Rushville. says: At daybreak this morning thirty Indians, belonging to Two Strikes' band, tried to capture a provision train of the cavalry, two miles VilBon; ? ] from Pine Ridge. The Indians were all killed. People are flocking into town by hundreds from the territory bordering the reservation. t'OL. FORSYTHE REPORTS. Colonel Forsythe reached Pine Ridge agency this morning with the Seventh cavalry, and the surviving prisoners. He reports twenty-five of his men killed and thirty-four wounded. FOUGHT LIKE FIENDS. A Graphic Account of the Fight at Wounded Knee. Omaha, Dec. 30. ?A dispatch to the Bee from its special correspondent, re- garding yesterday's battle, says the In- dians waited until the dismounted men of X and A troops were gathered in a group about the tepees, searching for arms, and then suddenly without warn- ing threw down their blankets and poured volleys from their rifles. The fact that the soldiers were grouped in a com- pact body is an explanation of the great execution done by the Indians' bullets. It took the troops but a moment, how- ever, to recover from their surprise, and maddened by the sight of their com- rades lying dead anil dying on the ground, the soldiers poured in their lire with frightful effect. Through the cloud of smoke, a buck could be seen here and there running away, but there were not many of them. They were pursued and most of them soon brought to a stop with a bullet. I he wounded Indians lying on the battle field fought like liends. They continued shooting until killed or their ammunition was exhausted. There were many single- handed ferocious combats between wounded soldiers and Indians. After the first few minutes when the Gatling and Hotchkiss guns could be used they were turned loose on such of the fugi- tives as were running down the ravine. It was a war of extermination now with the troops ;it was difficult to restrain them. Tactics wore almost abandoned. About the only tactics were to kill while it could be done. Wherever an Indian was seen firing was directed, and so it went on until not a live buck was in sight. TWO STRIKE'S PTKIKE. Particulars of tho Attack on the Wagon Train. Minneapolis, Dec. 30. ?A special from Pine Ridge about the skirmish says: As the Seventh and Ninth cavalry were returning from the scene of yesterday's battle, followed at some distance by a wagon train, about four miles from the agency, and just before daylight, a band of Indians, headed by Two Strike,dashed at the train, with the intention of rush- ing it off to the Bad Lands. The cavalry quickly returned, however, and a" sharp running light followed, in which it is estimated twenty or thirty Indians were wounded more or less seriously. One soldier was killed and two wounded. The sudden out- break of Two Strike's men followed the receipt of the news ot yesterday's fight, and there is considerable apprehension lest many othors of the supposed fr'end- lies will follow their' example. General Brooke, however, is quitcsure no more will run away. It is also understood that the Indians who have been in the Bad Lands, are coming in under the convoy of Colonel Henry's command. This will wind up all the rebels, except Two Strike's men. ROUNDING THEH UP. Col. Henry Bringing 700 Indians from the Bad Lands. Omaha, Dec. 30.?The Bee's Rush- ville, Neb., correspondent says: Col. Henry is coming into Pine Ridge with 700 of the Bad Lands Indians. This is believed to include all the remnants of the rebels on the reservation, and hopes are entertained of a speedy settlement. It has cost the lives of about 250 Indians and t\vent3'-five or thirty soldiers to olfset this result, if indeed peace is established. Rushville is crowded with settlers. The churches and all the public rooms are thrown open, and no effort is spared to make the refugees comfortable. They are here, as previously reported, on the advice of General Brooke. They are not only ready to defend their homes, but many are anxious to fight with the regulars if further fighting should occur. ANOTHER BATTLE. A Catholic Mission Burned Troops Gone to the Rescue. Chicago, Dec. 30.?The luter-Ocean's special from Pine Ridge tonight says: A courier brought in word this after- noon that the Catholic mission on White Clay creek was on fire. Hopes are entertained that the priests and sisters have not been killed, but there are no means of telling yet. The Sev- enth cavalry immediately started for the scene. The smoke can be seen from the agency. The correspondent saya as he writes he hears the boom of Hotchkiss guns in the direction of the mission, indicating that the troops are engaged in a tight there. It is impossi- ble to get any further particulars this evening. No fears are entertained for the safety of Pine Ridge agency now. The main body of troops has returned there. Besides Two Strike, the correspondent says, Little Wound, Big Road, Short Bull, Kicking Bear and Jack Red 1 'loud, a boii of old Red Cloud, have vanished from the agency, with most of their warriors. THE VERY LATEST. Six More of the Seventh Cavalry Killed and Many Wounded. Omaha, Dec. 31?3:30 a. m.?The Bee's correspondent at Pine Ridge sends the following: It is reported to General Brooke thatsix more of the Seventh cav- alry have been killed, and many wounded, out at the Catholic mission. The particulars are not obtainable to- night. In the course of the story sent to the Bee from Pine Ridge, late tonight, the correspondent, says : Besides some who fell in the gullies, 11(3 warriofs and forty squaws were lying dead oifthe ground, at Wounded Knee yesterday. The squaws were not killed with particular intent, but because they were mixed up with the bucks. The squaws also busied themselves in running around with scalping knives, trying to stab wounded soldiers. Referring to the attack of Two Strike to capture a wagon train this morning, the correspondent says several of the Indians were killed and many wounded. When Two Strike's men were running away from the agency last night, they compell jl old Red Cloud, under threats of <le° 'e«to accompany them. THE PREY OF FLAMES A Big Conflagration in the Heart of London. The Fire Brigade Shows Its Inefficiencj\ Two Million Dollars' Worth of Prop- erty Destroyed. A Cold Wave Sweeping Over Europe. Parnell and O'Brien Meet in Con- ference at Boulogne. Associated Press Dispatches. London, Dec. 30.?A terrible conflagra- tion raged in this city this afternoon. The scene of the fire was on Queen Vic- toria and Thames streets, near Black Friar's bridge. Numerous warehouses were blazing, and it was soon apparent that London was destined to suffer one of the largest and most destructive tires in its history of lecent years. Fourteen fire engines were soon on the spot. The firemen did their utmost, but with little success, to check the course of the flames. A high wind blowing materially added to the fury of tde flames, while hindering the firemen in their efforts to save prop- erty. Clouds of hot smoke frequently whirled dangerously near them. The large wholesale fur manufactory of Revillon Freres, 127 to 141 Queen Vic- toria street, was doomed after the fire gained a strong headway. Following this a large copper warehouse, a num- ber of fancy goods stores, and the (iulcher electric light and power com- pany's building also became a complete prey to the flames. The flames spread rapidly on all sides as if there were no firemen or fire engines present. Im- mense crowds of people were present on the bridges over the Thames and in the streets running down to the river to where a good view of the conflagration could be had. Many expressed the opinion that the disaster would at last bring about a reform in the London fire brigade. As the fire progressed it spread to the headquarters: of the Salvation army. The Salvationists worked like beavers in their efforts to place the records and other property of the army in a place of safety. At 4 p. m. the fire was rapidly spread- ing in all directions. All the buildings from the corner of Bennet's Hill to No. 135, Queen Victoria street, were either blazing fiercely or else were smouldering ruins. The fire originated in the building of C. Davidson cc Sons, paper manufac- turers "lid bag rnnkert!, at 110 ' Jviecn Victoria street. This building was a large structure, and was completely gutted, as was also that of Adolph Frankan & Co.i, manufacturers of pipes and importers of tobacco. The old Ben- net church on Upper Thames street, a famous Welsbc hurch , also caught fire. At 4:30 p. ni. what would be termed in New York four large blocks of build- ings, were in flames and burning steadily. By 5 o'clock St. Bennet's church was almost completely enveloped in flames. The firemen, however, managed to save the headquarters of the Salvation army, and it was then announced that the fire was under control. Later.?An examination of the burnt district showed that St. Bennet's church is not entirely destroyed, as at first thought. Besides a high wind today, the weather was extremely cold, water freezing all over the fire apparatus, and the firemen. There was no loss of life and few accidents among the firemen. The total losses aggregate $2,000,000. A naptha refinery in the suburb of Hackney burned tonight. An explo- sion of tanks of spirits was heard for miles. The loss is very heavy. One or two men were seriously injured. HINDOO SUBJECTS. The Natives Claim to be as Good Citizens as Englishmen. Calcutta, December 30. ?The dele- gates to the national Indian conference are indignant at the action of the authorities of Bengal, for bidding officials of the Indian government to at- tend the conference, even as spectators. This action is condemned as unworthy of Englishmen. A delegate said this would probably prove to be the blunder of some subordinate, otherwise, they say, the order was a piece of gratuitous insolence. The conference decided to send one hundred native delegates to hold a conference in London, with the object of proving before the English public, the fitness of the natives of In- dia to be treated as fellow citizens by the British. THE IKISH PARTY. Parnell and O'Brien Hold a Secret Con- ference at Boulogne. Boulogne, Dec. 30. ?A conference be* tween Parnell and O'crien was held this afternoon, only Irish members of parliament being allowed to take part. The only information given out was that the conference would he continued to- morrow or later. It ia impossible to learn what was done. London, Dec. 30.?The Pall Mall Ga- zette asserts that Parnell proposes that his formal re-election as chairman by the whole Irish parliamentary party, sha 1 precede his withdrawal from the chairmanship. COLD IN EUROPE. Rivers Congealed and People Frozen to Death in the Streets. London, Dec. 30. ?The weather now prevailing throughout England is the severest experienced since 1883. The . river Humber is completely frozen over, and the Thames partly so. On the continent nearly all points re- port weather equally severe. In Frank- fort seven persons were found frozen to death in the streets. Berlin, Dec. 30.?Work has been sus- pended in the government factory in Spandau. The water in the reservoirs is frozen up as the resultof the intensely cold weather prevailing. A Hightoned Duel. Marseilles, Dec. 30.?A duel was fought near this city today. The prin- , cipals are said to have been a Hunga- rian nobleman (believed to be a son of an ex-minister) and the son of a dis- tinguished Parisian. Alleged intrigue upon the part of the wife of the noble- man and the Parisian is understood to have been the cause. The keenest curi- osity is manifested here, and in Paris, as to the identity of the parties con- cerned. FIGHTING IN AFRICA. Severe Conflicts Between German* ami Natives. Berlin, Dec. 30.?The Tagblatt has a letter from a correspondent in Zanzibar, stating that Emm Pasha recently gent Lieutenants Langbeldand Brelow at the head of a body of troops to Urambo, where they fought a battle with the Watuta tribe, defeating the latter with severe loss. The Watutas subsequently joined forces with another tribe and again attacked the Germans. Their allies did not. stick to them well, how- ever, and they were again badly de- feated. The Germans had three killed and nine wounded. Commander Stuhl- mann recently captured a slaves' camp, near Victoria Nyanza, killing many Arabs and releasing a large number of slaves. CHRISTIANS VS. MOSLEMS. London, Dec. 30. ? Advices from Uganda state that in a recent conflict on the frontier, the Christian forces de- feated the vioslems. Peace has been es- tablished throughout the country. The Protestants have opened a new church. The services are attended by great crowds; many natives accepted the Christian faith and were baptized. STRUCK BY A TRAIN. A I.os Angeles Man Accidentally Killed at Portland, Ore. Portland, Ore., Dec. 30. ?J. M. Bab- cock, a contractor, was struck by a motor on the Portland and Vancouver railway, this morning, and received in- juries, which terminated fatally. Babcock stepped aside to get out of the way of the train, but he did not step far enough, and was struck by the engine and knocked down, his head striking on a tie. He lived only a few minutes. Babcock was about 45 years of age, and leaves a wife and family in Loa Angeles. A Murderer's Victim. Pendleton, Ore., Dec. 30.?A dead man was found Sunday in the bushes on the reservation, near the railway, fifteen miles east of Pendleton. Papers on the dead man's person identined him as Henry A. Brown. There was a receipt on his person from the Northwestern employment company, Tacoma, and a watch and eleven dollars in money. The coroner's jury found that the man was murdered by some one unknown. His skull had been crushed, and bulletholes were in the right temple and in his back. Itis suppostd he was murdered for money. t " German Immigration t<> Brazil. 1 Berlin, l>ec. 30.?The movement i among the Polish inhabitants of Hren, in the direction of founding colonies in Brazil, is increasing. The magis- trates in Posen have issued a notice that the North German Lloyds com- pany will convey no more Oerman sub- jects to Brazil. Killed by Koch's Cure. St. Petersburg, Dec. 30.?Two pa- tients, who were being treated by the Koch system, died in a St. Petersburg hospital yesterday, after receiving the third injection. Both suffered intensely before death. Jesuits Barred Out of Germany.

Snow In Oregon. Pendleton, Ore., Dec. 30.?The first snow of the season is falling throughout eastern Oregon tonight, and at 7 o'clock it is four inches deep. WIRE WAIFS. Joe MeAulifFe has sailed for New York on the Britannic. Alexander William Kinglake, the English historian, is dying. Three Polish laborers were struck by a New York Central train, at Buffalo, and killed. Ignatius Donnelly has been elected president of the Minnesota Farmers' Alliance. Sergius Steniak, the noted Russian writer, has arrived from Europe, and will lecture in New York. | Tommy Warren, of California, de- | feated Tommy Miller, of Indianapolis, in three rounds. Miller was not in the | fight and was badly punished. A terrific storm has prevailed on the Adriatic sea since Sunday, and much I damage has been done. It is feared j man}' vessels have been wrecked. Miss Helen Newell, daughter of Presi- I dent Newell of the Lake Shore road, I and James P. Garfield, second son of | the late President Garfield, were mar ! ried in Chicago, Tuesday night. Sixty glass manufacturers, represent- ! ing nearly all the western plants, have | finally completed the organization of the American Window Glass company. It is a trust, and dealers look for a sharp | advance in prices soon. The New York Tribune says Bateman &Co., well-known bankers, will make an assignment today, because of the failure of debtors to meet obligations. Commodore Bateman will also make an individual assignment. When a south bound passenger train from Chicago stopped at Columbus, Ind., three strangers entere I the day coach, drew revolvers, went through the passengers, securing several hun- dred dollars, and escaped. A man named Simon, who has been livingin great style, near Dresden, has been arrested, it having been learned that he was the head of a big robbery syndicate, operating in all the European cities. Their thefts have been many and daring. President Harrison, with the assist- ance of Postmaster-General Wanamaker, is making an investigation into the re- cent killing of Postmaster Matthews, at Carrollton, 'liss.

Pittsburg, Dec. 30. ?At a conference of the officials of the Amalgamated asso- ciation and Carnegie, Phipps&Co., of the Homestead steel works, the selling price of billets, for the ensuing three months, was fixed at $27 a ton. Under the sliding sale adopted two years ago, this will reduce the wages of 2000 em- ployees of the Homestead mills over ten per cent. An Ancient Dame Cremated. San Francisco, Dec. 30.?Mrs. Ste- venson, a widow, 87 years old, was burned to death early this morning. Her home and all its contents were also consumed. Itis supposed that the fire was caused by a lamp exploding. The old lady lived alone on Telegraph hill, and owing to the steepness of the hill the engines could not get up the de- clivity, and consequently the house was gutted.

FOUGHT LIKE FIENDS.

A Graphic Account of the Fight atWounded Knee.

Omaha, Dec. 30. ?A dispatch to theBee from its special correspondent, re-garding yesterday's battle, says the In-dians waited until the dismounted menof X and A troops were gathered in agroup about the tepees, searching forarms, and then suddenly without warn-ing threw down their blankets andpoured volleys from their rifles. The factthat the soldiers were grouped in a com-pact body is an explanation of the greatexecution done by the Indians' bullets.It took the troops but a moment, how-ever, to recover from their surprise, andmaddened by the sight of their com-rades lying dead anil dying on theground, the soldiers poured in theirlire with frightful effect. Through thecloud of smoke, a buck could be seenhere and there running away, but therewere not many of them. They werepursued and most of them soon broughtto a stop with a bullet. I he woundedIndians lying on the battle field foughtlike liends. They continued shootinguntil killed or their ammunition wasexhausted. There were many single-handed ferocious combats betweenwounded soldiers and Indians. Afterthe first few minutes when the Gatlingand Hotchkiss guns could be used theywere turned loose on such of the fugi-tives as were running down the ravine.Itwas a war of extermination now withthe troops ;it was difficult to restrainthem. Tactics wore almost abandoned.About the only tactics were to killwhile it could be done. Wherever anIndian was seen firingwas directed, andso it went on until not a live buck wasin sight.

Associated Press Dispatches.

London, Dec. 30.?A terrible conflagra-tion raged in this city this afternoon.The scene of the fire was on Queen Vic-toria and Thames streets, near BlackFriar's bridge. Numerous warehouseswere blazing, and it was soon apparentthat London was destined to suffer oneof the largest and most destructive tiresin its history of lecent years.

Fourteen fire engines were soon onthe spot. The firemen did their utmost,but with little success, to check thecourse of the flames. A high windblowing materially added to thefury of tde flames, while hinderingthe firemen in their efforts to save prop-erty. Clouds of hot smoke frequentlywhirled dangerously near them. Thelarge wholesale fur manufactory ofRevillon Freres, 127 to 141 Queen Vic-toria street, was doomed after the firegained a strong headway. Followingthis a large copper warehouse, a num-ber of fancy goods stores, and the(iulcher electric light and power com-pany's building also became a completeprey to the flames. The flames spreadrapidly on all sides as if there were nofiremen or fire engines present. Im-mense crowds of people were present onthe bridges over the Thames and in thestreets running down to the river towhere a good view of the conflagrationcould be had. Many expressed theopinion that the disaster would at lastbring about a reform in the London firebrigade.

As the fireprogressed itspread to theheadquarters: of the Salvation army.The Salvationists worked like beaversin their efforts to place the records andother property of the army in a place ofsafety.

At4 p. m. the fire was rapidly spread-ing in all directions. All the buildingsfrom the corner of Bennet's Hill to No.135, Queen Victoria street, were eitherblazing fiercely or else were smoulderingruins.

The fire originated in the building ofC. Davidson cc Sons, paper manufac-turers "lid bag rnnkert!, at 110 ' JviecnVictoria street. This building was alarge structure, and was completelygutted, as was also that of AdolphFrankan & Co.i, manufacturers of pipesand importers of tobacco. The old Ben-net church on Upper Thames street, afamous Welsbc hurch , also caught fire.

At 4:30 p. ni. what would be termedin New York four large blocks of build-ings,were in flames and burning steadily.

By 5 o'clock St. Bennet's church wasalmost completely enveloped in flames.The firemen, however, managed to savethe headquarters of the Salvation army,and it was then announced that the firewas under control.

Later.?An examination of the burntdistrict showed that St. Bennet's churchis not entirely destroyed, as at firstthought. Besides a high wind today,the weather was extremely cold, waterfreezing all over the fire apparatus, andthe firemen. There was no loss of lifeand few accidents among the firemen.The total losses aggregate $2,000,000.

A naptha refinery in the suburb ofHackney burned tonight. An explo-sion of tanks of spirits was heard formiles. The loss is very heavy. One ortwo men were seriously injured.
