srR: In thsannual report from this De-
partment Of december. 1883, your atten-
tention was called to the state Of the
Western Indian tribes, and the causes
which tendedato bring them into hostility
with our citizens. The exposed condi.
ton Of the settlements on the frontier, and
Of emigrants' t6 California and Oregon
passing the INDIAN territory with their
property, presented to these warlike and
predatory tribes temptations which it was
foreseen whouad lead. them to acts Of mas
sacre and pluAder, unless they were res.
trained by thepresence Of a sufficient mil.
itary force.
The total ipadequacy Of the present au.
thorized military force for the protection
Of our citizensswas shown. and an increase
Of the army was urgently recommended
In my last hnnunl report the subject
was again br6aght forwards with the adj
ditional considerations presented by the
realization, III some measure, Of the evil
ofwhich had been anticipated. and an in
