WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Gencral Sher-
man favors extending to white people and
their property, as we'll as tho property Of
the United States, full and ample military
protection from the ~depredations Of hos
tile Indians. While he is not actually In
favor OF a lighting policy toward the In
dams. instead Of one Of feeding them, he
has always advocated the theory that tho
army should have full control OF the In
dian question. Sherman said to-day that
he believed the Indian troubles In Oregon.

through which he passed 10 DO at an end.
Whatever might DO said. the army has GER
tainly done Its duty nobly. A long inter-
Wow between the General and the Sccro-
tary Of War took place this morning. II
Is learned that the Administration Is at .
loss TO determine what disposition shall be
made Of Chief Joseph and his band. now
that they have been caught. Sherman
says Joseph fought In . Christian manner,
not taking scalps or mutilating tho dead,
aud he Is not In favor Of putting him 10
death. He Is, however. opposed 10 reless-
ing Joseph and allowing him 10 return to
Oregon. The chief knows too much Of
that country and may again become trou-
blesome.
