General Sheridan hopes this sum- mer to be able to increase the garrisons at Camp Douglass and Fort Cameron, and if necessary to occupy additional points in the territory, but Congress must first make an appropriation. General Sheridan does not fear serious outbreak. but troops are avail able to send on intimation of any such thing.
