The following dcipatah from Pine Ridge Agency abows the steps which led op to the attack and maaaaure on Monday : The Oral battalion ot tbe Seventh Cavalry, consisting of Troops A, B, I and K. under command of Major O. M. Whit side, arrived at Wounded Knee Creek a dark on the evening of the 26th for thi purpose of intercepting and, if possible capturing Big Foot's band of Indians, whc recently escaped from Colonel Suoiner 01 the Cheyenne River. Early on the morn ing of the '27th scoots were sent oat for the purpose of locating the fugitives, and about half-past 11 a m. to-day a scout arrived with tbe intelligence that Big Foot, with 150 men and 250 women and children, had moved into camp on tbe Porcupine Creek. Immediately tbe bogle sounded ' Boots and Baddlea," and within eleven minutes tbe Battalion was tiling through the hill* toward the Indians' oamp on a gallop, and in a very short time tbe troops were opon tbe brow of a hill overshadowing tbe camp. The troops formed in position in double columns of fours, relaying lo the right and left, with two Hotohkisa gone, in the centre, commanded by Lieutenant Haw- thorne. The Indiana also drew up in line and for a few mtmenta seemed undecided as to what aotiun tbey would take, when tiually a delegation began moving tnwara tbe troops ander a dag of truce. When Major Whitside ascertained tbat Big Foot was not one ot tbe number he demanded that be should appear in person, where- upon he was told tbat Big Foot was tick. Tbe major, however, insisted, and Big Foot was finally brought to bis presence in a spring waggon together with bia wife, each ot whom waa positively sick. Big Fool said ha was sick and dsnied that he had ever surrendered to Col. Sam- ner or that be was even notified by tbat oommander tbat be was to consider him- self and people as prisoners. Msjor VVhitaide had Big Foot >nd bis wife trans ferred to an ambaJance, ordered all the other Indiana to dismount and form in double columns in oentr* of the line of troops, in which position tbey were es- corted to Wounded Knee Creek and en camped there within a perfect cordon of guards, with a battalion of Hotobkies and Catling guua conveniently overshadowing their village.
