GEN. SHERMAN's OPINION OF THE KIowAs.-
The War Department has transmitted to the
Secretary of the Interior, for his information,
copy of correspondence between Gen. Pope
and Friend HOag, Indian superintendent, who
sends letter OF Agent Tatum, detailing the re-
turn of the Al mules stolen by the Kiowas, and
stating that "Kicking Bird" and other Kiowa
of Satanic and Big Tree. ON reaching General
Sherman, this correspondence was endorsed by
him as follows: Respectfully submitted to the
Secretary of War, to ascertain the wishes of the
Interior Department in this case. Satanic ouphl
to have been hung and that would have ended
the trouble; but his sentance has been commu-
ted to imprisonment for life, and know these
kiowas well enough to see that they will be
everlastingly pleading for his release. He should
never be released, and hope the War Depart
me mt will never consent to his return to his tribe
As to " Big Tree" DO not deem his imprisOn-
ment so essential, though he ought to keep
Satanic company. With:this exceptional approve
OF the action of the agent, Mr.. Tatum, and
would advise him to treat the Kiowas strictly as
the CaddOes and other treaty Indians. Chick
ing Bird can keep the Kiowas peaceable f
Satanta is out of the way, and don't believe
him sincere when he asks for his release but
that he is simply acting the part to maintain his
influence with his own people,"
