The four Pueblo Indians who arrived here on
Saturday from New Mexico, in charge of Capt.
w D. Love and Mr.. DaSid E. Whiting, yester-
day made their first visit to the Indian Bureau,
and thence called upon the President of the
United States. Before. being admitted to theis
President, they remained some time in the East
room, where their admiration was excited to 81
high pitch by the size of the partment. and the
with which it is furnished. On
being introduced to the Presidcnt in his official 7
room up stairs, each of the party shock hands
with the President and the Secretary of the In
terior The names of the Indians, vino are from !,
the Pueblo of T'esuqsfe, about twelve miles
North Of Santa Fe, are respectively Jose Maria,
Carlos Vigil, Juan Antonio,s and jose Abeyta.

l The President having signifed his disposition
to listen to anything they might have to COM
municatc, Jose Maria, after a few minutes of
modest delay, said he solicited permission to-
speak to the President on two or three subjects.
He had, he said, traYeled very far to see the
country and people of the United States, and
what lie saw greatly astonished him He had
heard a great many strange things of the habits
and customs of the people of this country, but
now lie saw, for himself. Much that he had
heard he did not belise, but now he saw more !,
than ever had been told him. with his own eyes.
He lived. he said, when at homie. IN a Peor
country he and his people suffered d great deal
Of trouble. but he looked upon the President as
his Great Father, and the father of hiss people
as we'll as Of his white trethreu,, and as such he
should look to him for help and sueeor. HIS
people wished to live according TO their own
habits and customs; but his country was livery
poor one; living was very high there. and if hes
spends dollar, SO much Of it goes for food that
he has nothing left to buy clothing with, Ow
ing to mismanagement, or something unfavora-
BILE, there were great many thieves in the
country; this would sometimes lead to bad re-.
suits; but for his part and his peoples, they
wished to live inpeace and quietness Hs COM
planned of his Mexican neighbors, by whose dis
honesty his people had lost several animals,
which he wished to have restored. sg
The President replied by expressing the graft
ifcation he felt in meeting them. This was the
first time in his life that he had the pleasure of
seeing Pueblo Indian. He knew how long and
tedious a journey they had Travelled he knew
that they would have to pursue the same jour
ney home but he hoped the Great Spirit would
| bless and sustain them till they again returned
4 to the bosomS OF their families. -'5 t.g7I Ll
| After another shaking Of hands, the Indians
retired, and soon after were conducted to the
Capitol by their agents With one exception,
these Indians are of small stature. They can
all read and write .Jose Maria is really q
pleasant speaker, the Spanish sounding very
softly and smoothly as it flowed from his lips.
