the Rioverde reservation that from the list of
over 1900 Indians there in July last but $50 re-
main. The remainder have died or fled to the
mountains, preferring death by warfare to
falling by disease. Commissioner Tanner re-
commends that the Apachee Yumas and the
Apachee Mahoves be removed to Colorado river

tain reservation. Gen. Crook objects to the re-
moval of the first named lest they should think
