HEADQUARTERS U. S. ARMY, Washing
ton, June 24.-Respectfully submitted
to the Secretary of War. These are the
Indians to conciliate whom Satanta and
Big Tree are to be turned loose. l
have no more faith in their sincerity
than should have in prairie wolves;
and as once risked my life to test
their sincerity I do not propose to
again expose others to like risk and
danger. I hope the Indian Bureau
will manage them without the aid of
the Army.

street engine putin, which worked in
waste water from the main. The fire

the roof of a house of one Mahoney, a
wine merchant, and pillagedit, carrying

goons were called out and at length re-
stored order. Three fremen and sew
