General sherman Interviewed.
A reporter OF the American Prers
| Association, had an interview with
General Sherman this morning, an d
that officer expressed himself as fol-
lows:
Reporter-I see, General, that the
Secretary OF the Interior says it is NOT
an object OF the Peace Policy to deal
with the hostile Indians, but with the
friendly ones, and the army Is TO deal
with the hostile ones.
General Sherman-Well, there
comes the difficulty. II is quite nice
thing to determine where the Peace
Policy shall end and the military take
the Indians in charge.
Reporter-Do you think it possible,
General, that the Modocs have any Sc
cret passages by which they eau es-
cape from the leva beds and reach the
mountains ?
Gen. Sherman-Oh, not at all. The
formation of the lava beds is such that
| the Indians can crawl in and ont OF the
crevrces, aod it 10 impossible for our
forces to reach them.
Reporter-Has this section Of the
country ever been explored2
Gen. Sherman-I think not, except
by miners who possess a very lmper-
feet knowledge o. Topography and
sketchiug. | hear, however, that Prot.
HAYDEN has been there, but | think this
is possibly a mistake. | think Hayden
surveyed the lava beds near the
Three Tetonns, though | ain not posi-
tive. Q.
General Sherman then produced q
map OF the country and pointed out the
locality. Referring to the murder OF
General Canby he said: Il don't ap.
prehend anv danger Of this thing | is
however, very strange how quickly the
indians hear OF such an event They
now, it seems, talk as if by telegraph,
and talk OF hig chief being killed
Reporter-Poiuting TO Arlz mo said,
General Crook is making it lively
for the red skins here"
General Sherman, laughing-4es he
is. He will not remain still but keeps
moving all the time, and really that IL
the only true Indian policy Crook ls
our best Indian officer. You see he
never goes on reservation to chastlse
the Indians, but when they come away
from their reservations he makes 1t
very lively tor them. He 's an ener"
getic and able officer, also, soldier by
nature. He don't scare worth cent
Reyorter-General Candy stood high
a. an officer and Gentleman.
General Sherman-Yes he was an ex-
cellent officer in every eense OF the word:
everyb body respected him, even the rebels
in Virginia, Texas and Louisiana
When hal the command Of those forces
he was loved and respected. | don't
think he ever committed harsh act
in his life. he was exceedingly mo
doest but determined and efficient. |
have know HIM 35 years and esteemed
him as much as any officer OF the ar
my .,,,
Reporter-Gen. Davis will be apt to
make it lively tor the Modocs now ?
Gen. Shernan-Yes he's very active
and not slow to pnch In.
Tn to noon to-dav no further news
has been received from either Gen.
Schofeld or Col. GIllem.
