CumSCduCeS CuduSeQ-lI OtQer people were here while General Howard was here they believed he would do right--but when he was gone and other people came here, some of them might do wrong if Eskevanzin should not
 Eskevanzin said he had no doubt. AS long as the stone lasts there would be peace, and the stone would last as long as the world.
 General Howard told Eskevanzin that it was reported to him, that 8 young man of his tribe was then preparing to go out on scout.
 Eskevanzin laughed.
 The day before, a young buck told Dr. Handy that he had been out the last rains Qast Summer), and down about San Xavier, stole some mules and horse. He had eaten up the mules and had only the horse left, which he wanted to sell to the Doctor and buy ammunition, to go on another scout. Dr. Handy has been among the Indians considerably, and under stands their language so that they would readily tell him things they would not others-in fact, the young buck mentioned, requested the Doctor to say nothing about it.
 The young man was sent for, but \could not be found. Eskevanzin said fthat he had some lazy soldiers, who went around talking. This man, he Said, had no horse. He could not prevent their talking.
 General Howard asked Eskevanzin when the Tontos were coming to see him. Eskevanzin did not reply, but went out. The General then asked another chief when the Tontos were coming to talk. He answered that there were some down near the little mountain, who were coming tonight.
 General Howard asked who they were; and was answered that it was captain who had been in some time before. to talk with the commanding officer of the post. He was coming with his people.
 Eskevanzin who had returned, wanted the General to believe noth- ing he heard outside, but to believe him. General Howard answered that be did believe him, and had said that /he believed him. Eskevanzin did { not want the General to believe what these boys say on the outside, but to believe him. He had good mind, ind 8 good memory. Eskevanzin |said that yesterday, they all had g. friendly hug, from the General down, \end he was contented. Now he want fed to talk again. When Gen. How ard went away and others came, they would write that Eskevanzin was a bad man. General Howard said they would not so write. He wanted Es- 'kevanzin to show General Crook, and the Governor and commander of the post, that he was not a bad man. When Dr. Bendell went to Washing 'ington with the General, the Doctoy would write back and let Eskevanzin know what was being done. Eskevanzin said he had put on 8 1hard head to do this and he was here. General Howard told him that Dr. Bendell had come from Prescott to do it and he himself all the way from Washington, etc.
 Eskevanzin said that if any other man were dressed in gold from head to foot-if he had gold boots and a |gold coat, and gold hat, he would not like him so we'll as Whitman. Gen. eral Howard told him he might like him, (the GeneraD as well, when he came to know him. The General then explained to Eskevanzin that Whitman had charges against him and had to be tried before court that he was going to Tucson for that. purpose, &c.
 Eskevanzin liked his commander, and thought he could bring the bad Indians to terms better than any one else.
 General Howard said he wanted to talk with Eskevanzin much before he went away. He would have 1t all in writing, so that it could be read to him. He wanted to talk with Chi quito and others; and would want Eskevanzin to go with him to look at the place for a new reservation.
 They then all joined hands in con- firmation of the peace.
 The Governor invited Eskevanzin to come to Tncson--to come some time when he could have an escort.
