letter to the Governor of Texas, again request
ing tho latter to pardon Santana and Big Tree
the Indian chiefs on confined the Texas
Penitentary. He explained in addition to the
recent published statement on the subject that
the first request dating 22d of March was re-
yoked on the nth of April in consequence of
the excited condition of public sentiment at
that time growing ont of the NIodoc difficulties
and because some objected to the pardon Of
Santana and Big Tree, made by Gen Sherman
Secretary Deiano goes on to say I cannot
omit to add that in my opinion a failure to
effect that release OF Santana and Big Tree
under existing circumstances, win endanger
our present peaceable relations Nith the
Kiowas aud Comsnches, and viii be likely to
result in hOstilities with these and other tribes
residing in Indian Territory have there fore
respectfully to renew my request for their
pardon, and to express my sincere hope that
your judgment will approve the same.

The Mexican minister has not yet received
full official account of the particulars attend
ing Col. McKenzies operations against the
Liponoz and Kickapoos. and therefore is not
now prepared to represent the case TO our
government with view to explanations
There Is no doubt that these viii be placed on
the ground Of the duty OF the government to
protect its citizens and punish all hostile in
vaders of our soil wherever found, the Mexican
government being unwilling or unable to pre-
vent such incursions. II Is said in military
circles that the operations Of Col Mckenzie
will doubtless serve as a warming to all armed
bands who cross to our territory for stealing
or numbering purposes.
While General Sherman in conversation
continues to emphaticaly discountenance the
request made to the governor Of Texas for the
release of Satana and Big Tree, ne has no
authority to interfer. IN the matter in being
in the hands of the executive authority; but at
