WASHINGTON, Sept. S.--A letter from a cor
respondent accompanying the Indian investi-
eating commissioners states That everything so
far indicates a complete failure of the peace
policy towards the Indians. Even some of the
Quaker agents are calling for troops At re-
cent council held with the Kiowas, who arc the
head centres Of all troubles, they openly boosted
OF outraging two young girls whom they cap
tured last spring in Texas, after killing their
father and mother but whom they returned
two weeks ago in a horrible condition
expecting to receive heavy pecuniary ransom
but did not ;eiye a cent. They retain a little
brother of the girls, and the agent refused to
issue them any more rations until he is released
At tins council the kiOWaS demanded that the
whites should release the chiefs Santana and
Big Tree, and that all whites should retire from
the entire country between the Mississippi and
no Graude rivers, in return for which all gov
ernment stock and captiyes plundered by them
should be given up and peace maintained. This
proposition was rejected, and the council ended
IN smoke. During the council the Kiowas held
secret council as to the ACCESSIBILITY of killing
and Scalping commissioners and Quaker Indian
agents Iatum, HOag and others, but postponed
operations. a grand council of all tribes was
arranged for the ID Of September but the Oua-
ker agents say the patched up peace now will
last only until next spring.
