Policy.

SAN FRANCIsCo, Nov. pa. p. 4.
Stafford, Governor of Arizona, publishes an
exhaustive review of the Apache question
in the Aitd this morning. He warmly in
dorSes Gen. Crooks policy of uniting the
friendly Indians against the Apaches.
Had Gen. Crook gone on with his plans, it
would have been but few III Onths before
the entire tribes would have sued for peace
on terms that would have insured the safety
of lives and property of the citizens.
He denounces Collyer for lodging
through the country, refusing to see or hold
communication with the white settlers,
treating with contempt all overtures from
them, and says he made no peace, but only
bribed a few unrepentent Indians with
presents to go on the reservations for few
days.
The Alta editorially endorses the Cover
nor, and says he cannot be accused Of igno-
rance of the subject, nor can his facts be
contrOverted.
