The President this afternoon gave audience to the
Apache delegation Of Indians at the Executive
Mansion. They were accompanied by Secretary
DeanO, Commissioner of indian Affairs Walker and
General Howard, The Indians expressed their de-
sire to live at peace with the whites and said they
f, want horses, shops, farms and to be educated at
schools Santa, one OF the chiefs, asked for suit
of clothes like the Presidents, and cane pistol,
sword and a horse to ride, so as to show his con-
sequence at home
The President told them he was anxious TO pro
mote their comfort but to that end it was neces-
sary for them to keep the peace and he would do
everything in his power to protect them from bad
white men. He thought they would have better
home In the Indian Territory, where attention
could be paid to their Improvement and they would
be assisted in farming, and schoolhouses would be
built for them, and mechanics would teach them

Miguel said at one time he was on bad terms with
the whites, not knowing whether they were Amerl-
cans or Mexicans; but as soon as he learned that
they were Americans he buried all his badness and
was now their friend. Several other Indians ad-
dressed the President, declaring their determination
hereafter not only to live at peace among them
selves, but toward the whites

The Secretary OF the Interior to-day received
from the War Department a copy of cOmmunica-
ton from Lieutenant Colonel Davidson command

gives reports OF the threatening attitude OF the
Kiowa Indians, who are said to be scattering On
the warpath in the direction of Fort Sill and North
ern Texas, and also towards Fort Larned and Medi'
cine Lodge Creek. Major General Pope, under date
of Fort Leavenworth, June 10. forwards this COM

The Secretary Of the Interior to-day received from
the War Department copy of communication
from Colonel II. 8. Mckenzie, commanding ut Fort
Richardson, Texas, in which he says:-
I have the honor to represent that the outrages
committed by the Indians have been more frequent
than have ever known them here or at any other
point that have served at in the department En-
outrages in this vicinity are committed by Indians
from the near Fort Sill. enclose copy or
extract OF an official letter from Major Schoield,
Tenth Cavalry, to Captain Webb, while in command
of squadron.
1t is respectfully represented that every depreda.
ton committed near this post Is done by Indians
who are fed by the government, who procure am
munition, 1t Is believed, from the agency on the
Canadian, and that 1t is not probable that this
section will ever be quiet until vigorous measures
are adopted with the Kiowas and Comanches who

Indian Territory as II peaceable.
In forwarding the above to the Adiutant General
at washington, Lieutenat General Sheridan makes
the following endorsement thereon:-
1t is useless TO disguise the fact that the dcpreda
lions referred to by Colonel Mckenzie are commit
ted by the Indians on the reservation at Fort Sill
1t is the common belief that the Kiowas are the only
Indians committing these depredations, hut such ID
mistake. All the tribes on that reservation are
engaged with them, as well as Indians from the
upper reservation at Camp supply. do not know
OF any way OF stopping this bad work except by
the action OF the military at Fort Sill and Camp
Supply: and the moment the government will au-
thorize me to stop this bad work ! am ready TO do
it, We have abundant means, without much ex-
pense to operate where the root of the evil exists
10 defend the long line OF Northern Texas against
Indians who are supplied WIN lOou, arms ana
ammunition at the reservations, seems to me ridi-
