WASHINGTON, June AL the delega-
tons of Indians met in the rooms of the
Secretary of the Interior this morning to
have another council. All the Agents
and Interpreters were present The In
dams were gaudily attred and painted.
Commissioner Smith told the Indians.
when here last, that the Secret Try made
a proposition to them to go to Indian
Territory, and asked them to consider
the offer of the Government of S25, 900
to relinquish part of their hunting
grounds, also the desire Of the white
people to go to the Black Hills, and the
difficulty Of preventing them. In regard
to going TO the Indian Territory, they ex-
pressed themselves opposed to it, and
unless they had changed their minds.
there was DO use saying anything about
that. The Secretary told them that if
they did not accept the offer of $25 COO
in thirty days, they might not get 1t at all.
In regard to the Black Hills, they had
now had plenty Of time to think, and it
was hoped they could give such answers
to-day as to make it unnecessary to have
any further talk on the subject.
Red Cloud said: Great Spirit, hear me,
have mercy on me, pity me. He called
Heaven and Earth to witness before he
spoke, that the President must have
made q mistake in telling him when he
came that the arrangements were for 35 |
years. The President told him at that |
time to select a country for his hunting
grounds and he had done so. The two |
men by his side came to him last Sum-
mer and told him for the first time about
the S25 900, and he said wait till go
and see the President and see if he has
got the money. If it is really there I
have children and am not willing to do
anything to make them poor This
S25, 600 will only pay for land to Pawnee
Greek, we wish to retain the rest. When
he was here four years ago he was shown
a large building where oil the money is
kept, and he knows he had large
amount of money there. He would take
this $25, 600. but when Winter comes he
wanted them to try and get more. When
he cane here before nothing was said
about the Indian Territory. Since he
has been here this time he had seen but

; hard he should be asked to go there and
; live, and he now told them twice he
q would not go there. His country was o
! good one and he wished to keep it. He
did not like running the Nebraska line
! through his country, and considered it
robbery. Last Winter when annuities
" were issued many of his people were alb
: sent and did not get their goods; be
wanted more goods for them, and was
not satisfied with the food sent him. He
b did not like salt pork, he thought his
d children had died from eating it. He
:, wanted bacon, rice, hominy and tea sent
to him. He was looking to the future
for his children and trying to do the best
>, for them. After further talk the Indians
- agreed to accept the $25, 600 in consider
y alton OF relnquishing large portion OF
a their hunting grounds in Nebraska. The
