qualifications seem incompatible with the requirements of the Indian servlce. I suppose I was born so; but it is be- meath the dignity of great men to act as some of our great Generals have done. Great Generals should not be childish. If l am guilty of miscon- duct, it seems to me the combined de- tective forces of the Indian and War Departments could have or should have found it out in less than three years. If am 10 be tried, do it quick ly and do it well. 1 am ready and fear nothing. If I am not to be tried. then let me alone equally quick and well. am weary of this barley and child's play. Let us have solid work or noth- ing.
 I could say great deal on this sub- ject of courtesy" and might do so if I had any reason to believe that your Department would be "bold enough" " to send it to the War Office. I will however, append few remarks touch ing some of the points referred to by Gen. Sherman and Gen. Kautz, and trust they will have some effect.
 AS to whether my telegram of May 7, 1877, was discourteous or not, de- bends on how we view it. I don't in- tend to discuss that point. It was my intention to tell Gen. Kautz that I had not asked him for troops and that I would not accept any from his De- partment. I believe my telegram con- veys my meaning pretty nearly. I would act the same today under the same circumstances. AS 1 review the past, I compliment this action I make DO apology.
 It is well known to your Depart ment that Gen. Kautz never cooper ated with the civil officers in spirit, and only in the letter when compelled 10 do so by positive orders. At the time l removed the White Mountain Indians to the Gila in 1875, Gen. Kautz was asked to cooperate, but he would not When 1 was ordered to remove tbe Chiricahua Indians 10 the Gila in 1876, Gen Kautz Was politely asked to cooperate, but he refused to .lt1,,>, ,ch the graves of murdered men were yet fresh, and the Chiricahua Indians were turbulent. Through the energy of Governor Stafford an order was ob- taincd from the Secretary of War, directing Gen. Kautz te give me all military assistance necessary 10 re- move the Chiricahuas Being con- pelled to. move, Gen. Kautz came down with great pOmp- and parapher- nalia of war, and wi,b relays of horses swept over the country to Apache Pass. He remained there a day or two until 1 had started for San Carlos with all the peaceable Indians He then ordered all his troops back to their respective posts, and with his relays swept back again to his comfortable quarters at Fort Whipple. This was the Generals first bold charge" and his last. Governor Stafford entreated Gen. Kautz to leave one Indian Com pany near the Chiricahua Reservation to pick up stray Indians, but Gen. Kautz refused, and immediately order ed his scouts to safe, but useless posi- tions. The whole of southeastern

SAN CARLOS AGENCY, ARIZONA,
August 6, 1877.

August 6, 1877.
 SIR: The military officer sent here upon your request, to witness deliver ies of supplies by contractors, is per mitted to discharge that duty without hindrance Comfortable quarters have been assigned him at the Agency. I have already called your attention to the order of the Department Command

the Indians, but Gen. Hatch and con- mand had co-operated so heartily that
 I was quite willing that they should share any credit that might result from the success of this movement. 1 there fore requested Gen. Hatch to send an escort with me. This he cheerfully ordered; directing them to go with me all the way to San Carlos
 Now Gen. Hatch issued this order "of his own free will and without fear" and there was no circumstance, nor word or act on my part that con- pelled" him to do It, and Gen. Sher- man is off wrong in his endorsement of June 1, 1877, when he says: Agent Cum had no business to decline the escort rendered by Gen. Kautz. There by he compelled the escort from New Mexico to enter the Department of Gen. KautZn
 Now Gen. Sherman had no busi- ness" to make any such remark. If the troops from New Mexico "had no business to come into Arizona, they should have said so; soldier should know his "business." Gen. Hatch issued the order for the escort to go to San Carlos. If Gen. Hatch dld wrong, that is his business,' and none of my business" Gen. Hatch would have felt grossly insulted had 1 as sumed it to be my "business' to teach him his business" by suggesting that his troops had no business " to cross the Arizona line.
 It is plain that if any body has made mistake, it is the military author lties of New Mexico, and if they made a mistake by sending an escort into Arizona, where they had no busi- ness," 1 am quite sure they did not intend to be malicious, but the mis- take resulted from the tact that the military authorities ill New Mexico did not understand their "business" quite as we'll as General Sherman thinks he does Hence 1 offer this suggestion: That General Sherman bel ter ,nake it his "business," to teach his officers tn ir "business," and neve, again assume 10 teach me my ''busi- ness" unless he is sure he is right
 By way of conclusion on this sub- ject, 1 wish to say that consider the phraseology of General Sherman's en- dorsement far more discourteous than was my telegram of May :, to Gen. Kautz. Had I telegraphed Gen. Kautz that It was none of his business where 1 would cross the Arizona line, my discourtesy would then equal that of General Sherman.
 1 am quite surprised to find myself at the end of this long communication. Two days ago, did not know that had been charged with d breach of courtesy" 1 trust Mr. Bell will con- slider this the explanation he directed" me to make. But it has just occurred to me that in this defence @ against the charge of "discourtesy," 1 may have, by my plain statements, made myself a greater offender under the same charge. If 1 have, it is really too bad; but mean what 1 have said, and 1 want Departments and Generals to understand that 1 am open for con- viction before any fair court

CT detailing this officer to duty at San Carlos, and furnished you with copy of said order. You invite the presence of military officer at San Carlos to witness the delivery of supplies, and request that he be directed to make re- ports direct 10 yourself The Depart ment Commander, in pursuance to this invitation and in obediance to the or ders of his superiors, directs said otfi- cer to perform that service; but pre- suming on your indulgence the De- pa!tment Commander fui ther inStructs the officer to report 10 military author ities alone and not 10 you, all the cir cumStances that he may witness at the reservation, connected with other mat ters not included in your request, and which are not Tn any way subject to military jurisdiction or control. By this action the Department Commander assumes without orders from his supe- rlors, or authority from you, the au- thorily to investigate, for his own in- formation, and not for yours, the gen eral business of the Agency. A more discourleous and unfriendly act on the part of an officer of one Department towards those connected with another Department, can scarcely be cOnceiv- ed.
 No public officer should object to legitimate investigation, out to subject any branch of the public service to the sell-lmposed right of criticism and su- pert lsOn of an officer q another De partment, is neither just nor fair. Such an unwarianted assumption of authnri- ty on the part of any one, must bc re- garded as an outrageous breach f courtesy and propriety, deserving of the Severest rebuke and censrre.
 l regret exceedingly that the War Department declines To order an in- vestiyatiOn into the past transactions of the military in Arizona. Courts of Inquiry composed exclusively of mili- tary officers, cannot be relied upon to disclose and declare the true stale of affairs ill any case where the general reputation and standing of Ihe army is called in question, and very seldom where the conduct of a brother officer is impugneG Dy any one not subject to the military control. They are not an impartial tribunal The recent pro- cecdings of q military Court of Inqui ry in relation to charges preferred against Captain Worth by Agent Cum, with the review of the Department Commander thereon, upon which, by your direction, have already report ed. shows this statement to be iru".

Ing the 6dSlcrn ArlZOUd lluc, GnuS pre-
 venting the escape of rcnegades from
 New Mexico into Sonora by their old
 trails through Arizona. Gen. Kautz
 might have replied that he would CO., operate heartily as far as he was able.
 But instead of this, he replies In his
 sarcastic telegram of March 31, 1877
 in which he avoids the subject of CO., operation entirely, but deigns to proffer some useful information. He says that no doubt General Pope and Gen. eral Hatch will cooperate with me. Thus leaving the inference clear that Gen. Kautz will not.
 No doubt it was very kind in Gen. Kautz to suggest that the proper thing for me to do was to apply to Gen. Hatch for troops, but when this sug- gestion was made, I already had a telegraphic reply from Gen. Hatch, stating that he (Hatch) had ordered nine companies of troops into the field to cooperate with me, so that all Gen. Kautz's telegram of March 31, amount ed to, was "polite" refusal to CO., operate in the capture of the Warm Spring renegades. The General was as good as his word, and did nothing to protect the Arizona line during the time we were arresting and removing the renegades at Warm Springs, New Mexico.
 After the labors and dangers were all over, and we were within few miles of home, crowned with success, then Gen. Kautz was very willing to meet us with an escort, march with us to the Reservation, and then proclaim his great Indian conquest to the world. But had resolved never to again ask for or accept troops from Gen. KautZ. l knew 1 could control my reservation get along without the "Kautz military" and hence when Gen. Kautz proffered his escort, promptly and plainly told him that his escort had not been asked for, and certainly wOull not be ac- cepted. It may be discourteous to speak so plain to Department Commander. It's too bad if it is, but I believe the above is what I said to Gen. Kautz in my telegram; at least know that was what wanted to say. I did not need the escort rendered by Gen. Eautz. I did not want it, and I had a perfect right to refuse it, General Sherman's opinion to the contrary notwithstand- ing.
 General Kautz feels guilty. He knows 1 ought to report him to my Depart ment. This is evident in his letter of May II, 1877, and hence he begins his defense before any charges are made.
 General Kautz says: "Of course I could readily humiliate MT. Cum in the matter by relieving the troops from New Mexico, and directing their return as soon as they entered Arizona Territory"
 Now of course Gen. Kautz could not have done any such thing. l anticipated that he might attempt of this kind, and was pre- pared, should he do so, to relieve him IS soon as he had relieved the troops from New Mexico In which case he would have had the fun of marching his escort to the line and back for nothing, and the humiliation would

IiniinentS.

One thing is now thoroughly established. Never
since man suffered and human agencies alleviated
pain, has there been anything which went so far
as a pain annihilator and curative agent rs the
Ccntaur Liniments. These Lnments have within
the past year cured more cases of rheumatism,
Neuralgia, tiG,jDnts, Caked Breasts. Swellings,
Poisonous Bites Burns, Lame Animals, etc., ETC.,
than all other remedies combined. As the name
of Centaur implies half horse and hall man, the
Centaur Liniments are for man ana beast. But
not the same Liniment. The White Llniment is
for man and the Yellow for horses and animals
Herein this Liniment differs from all other rene
dies although some OF the ingredients are alike in
each. They contain the well known Witch Hazel
Arnica, Carbolic, Rock Oil, Mentha and other
powerful ingredients.
