### 1871. SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith a copy of a communication addressed to this Department by the Hon. Vincent Colyer, ane of the board of lndian peace commissioners who recently visited Arizona, wherein'hestates his views in relation to the Apache Indians, and describes certain tracts of country in Arizona and New Mexico which, during his recentvisit to said Indians, he has selected to be set apart as reservatiansfor their use, as authorized to do by orders issued to him before visiting the Apaches. I have the honorto recommend, in pursuance of the understanding arrived at in our conversation with the Secretary of War on the 6th instant, that the President issue an arder authorizing said tracts of country described in Mr. Colyer's letter to be regarded as reservationsfor the settlement of Indians until it is otherwise ordered. 

### * * *
I would further suggest that the War Departmentwill, for the present, select some suitable and discreet officer of the Army to act as lndianagent for any of the reservations inArizona which may be occupied by the Indians, under the order herein contemplated. Such agents will be superseded by persons hereafter appointed by this Department, at A such times as the President may hereafter deem proper. t Very respectfully, your obedient servant, C.

At all eventsthese lndians must have a chanceto escape war, and the most naturalway isto assignthem to, homes and to compel them to remain thereon. Whjle they remainon such reservations there is an implied condition that they should not be perrnittedto starve, and our experience isthat the lndian Bureau is rarely supplied with the necessary money toprovide food, inwhich event you may authorize the commissary department to provide for them, being careful to confine issues only tothose acting in good faith, and only for absolute wants. The commanding officer ofthe nearest military post will be the proper personto act as the lndian agent untilthe regular agents come provided with the necessary authority and funds to relievethem; but you may yourself, or allow General Crook to appoint these temporary agents regardless of rank. The citizens of Arizona should be publicly informed of these events, and that the military have the command of the President to protect these lndians on their reservations, and that under no pretensemust they invade them, except under the leadership of the commanding officer having charge of them. The boundaries of these reservations should also be clearly defined, and hnychanges in them suggested 

### by experience should be reported, to the end that theJl may be modified or changed by the highest authority. After-generalnotice to lndians and whites of this policy, General Crook mayfeel assured that whatever measures of severity he may adopt to reduce these Apaches to a peaceful and subordinate condition will be approved by the War Department and the President.
