What Colonel w. w. Chapman, OF Ores

Opinions About the Peace Commits

Yesterday morning HERALD reporter had few
minutes interview with Colonel W. W. Chapman,
one of the pioneers OF the State OF Oregon and
President OF the Portland, Dallas and Salt Lake
City Railroad, now stopping at the Aston House,
and who returns West this evening. The following
is the substance OF the conversation which took
place.
REPoRTER-I have come TO ask your opinion as to
what you think OF the disposition OF the Modoo
IndiansS
Colonel CHAPMAN-They are, from all informa-
ton that | have gathered In oregon, OF most
treacherous character, and kindness Is, believe,
utterly wasted upon them. do not go to so far as
to say, like General sheridan, that the only GOOD
Indian is . dead Indian but their character Is a.
bad as 1t well can be. The cry has gone aloft,
"wipe them outl" but can only say that II months
elapse before the capture OF Captain Jack and the
remainder Of his gang the people must not be as
tonished for those lava beds are wonderful hiding
places containing inaccessible pits from which the
Modocs can attack their pursuers. shot may be-

kilograms poured into the White House to-
day from Philadelphia, Boston and other
strongholds Of the Quaker policy toward the
Indians, beseeching the President not to allow
the clamor of an ungodly press, or the pas
sionate reasoning of those about him, to
swerve him from his Christian, philanthropic
peace policy, on account of the murder Of
General Candy and DR.. Thomas. The Presi-
dent saw General Sherman and number of
prominent officials. To all he said calmly
that the Modocs must and shall be extermi-
mated not as passionate revenge for their
atrocious murders, but as an act of justice, as
well as protection to the peaceful settlers in
that part Of the country.

It is reported that Mr.. Meachap, who. in the first
accounts, was said to be mortally wounded will

Modocs was personally directed against the prin.

the causes of the trouble. The HERALDs account

Sorrow for the murder OF General Candy was

GERMAN AND FRENCH COMMENTS.
Mr.. O'Kelly's Neutrality Confirmed
Beyond a Doubt.
New Yorker stsats Zeitung, April al

new Yorker Staats Zeltung, April IA.
BY the very thoughtless manner in which the
authorities in Cuba have arrested the HERALD
correspondent they have created for themselves an
additional embarrassment We are certainly able
to approve Of the mission If the object is simply
what has been stated. Still, no State that has any
respect for herself, knowing that her citizens in the
interior In state Of insurrection would allow
foreign correspondent to cross to and re.cross
from the insurgents with impunity, nevertheless,
what the United States did to English and Spanish
correspondents during the rebellion in the South
the Captain General might be permitted to
do also to Americans. The responsibility
which the Spanish government has in this respect,
and the dificultes OF the situation brought about
by the action Of the volunteers, render 1t almost a
matter Of impsssbility that he should grant any
correspondent safe pass to go as neutral OBJ
server on both sides, and in this case, in order to
prevent him taking so rash step he the Captain
GeneraD declared that II the correspondent should
pass over to the insurgents and was subsequently
found within the Spanish lines he would have him
shot. The young man, whose courage, zeal and
talent all must acknowledge, maintained, how
ever, that such was the nature OF his commission
that ne would 20 without the ordinary permission,
and In spite Of this threat travelled across
the country and by himself attempted to nnd
out the insurgents, after which he returned TO
the Spanlards, and was arrested within two hours
from the time OF his arrival. He then applied to
the English Consul to interpose In his behalf, assur-
ing him OF the impartality OF his mission but the
Consul endeavored to dissuade him from the under.
taking on account OF the uncertainty OF success
and the possibility that evil consequences might
follow subsequently the Captain General, when
he was informed that 0'Kelly had reached the in
surrent lines-that 1t was IN Jun accompu-mod-
Grated his determination, taking a medium course
to the effect that If the HERALD correspondent, on
his return from the insurgents, should fall into the
hands OF the government troops, he would be con-
tent to have him expelled from Cuba In the mean.

Mission Legitimate to all Civilized
Peoples.
from the New York Commercial Advertiser,
April a.
We take more hopeful view of Mr.. OKelly's
situation than the HERALD does. His despatch,
published this morning indicates that, although a
prisoner, he is not apprehensive Of any bodily
harm. Ueballos would not dare to put him to
DEATH because Mr.. O'Kelly has done nothing to
render him amenable to that extreme penalty Of
the laws of war. His Office and visit are purely
with the view OF gathering information to be used
for purpose which all civilized begerents recog-
nize as legitimate. The Captain General, Spanlard

From the Newark Register, April 14.l

OKelv, the Cuban correspondent OF the HERALD,
seems to be in grave danger, especially II he has
carried letters from Cespedes 10 the Cuban SYM
pathizers in America. The Spaniards may try to
make spy out Of O'Kelly, but everybody knows it
was HERALD enterprise rather than any regard for
Cuban independence that sent him. The Spanish
authorities could have refused to have allowed him
to pass their lines, but cannot afterwards punish
him for SO doing. American citizens have some
rights which must be respected even II we have an
obsequious and timd man at the head OF the State
Department.
