COLONEL BURKE's EXPLANATION.

COLONEL DURKE's EXPLANATION.
NEW YORK, Sept 20, 1876.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Since arriving in New York have learned that seri-
irregularities the issue OF supplies to the Indians
the Standing Rock reservation have been at
tributed to me and published In the HERALD. 1t was
also implied that portion OF these supplies reached
the hostiles The fact is that since the end Of the
fiscal year June 30 have not had enough supplies to
feed the peaceful Indians on tho reservation.
You will see how difficult IL would be for me TO
ascertain whether any communication existed be-
tween the hostIes the reservation Indians, when
tell you that the territory the Indians supplied in.
habiied extends 200 miles in one direction and 100
miles across But do consider II possible, from
the hungry condition Of the Indians on the reserva-
tion that any of the supplies they so much needed
themselves turned over to the hostiles. Yours
respectfully JOHN BuRkE,
Late Indian Agent at Standing Rock, Dakota.
