 Washington, Nov. 2l.-The Secretary of War has received and referred to General Sherman letter from the Secretary of the Interior, sharply replying to certain state- ments made by General Sheridan in letters in his annual report. Secretary Schurz says: "These statements, as far as they reflect on the conduct of the Indian service, are Of sweeping and somewhat vague nature. But it must be assumed that General Sheri- dan would not have made them and permit ted them to become public had he not in his possession specific information concerning certain agencies and certain branches of the Indian service 10 which these statements may be individually applied. l ask specific information on the subject in view of the fact that certain military officers seem of late to have fallen into the habit of indulg- ing, officially and privately, in general re- tiection on the Indian service, without talk ing the trouble of f>substantiating them with such statements hldetail as would facilitate the discovery and correction of the abuses. l do not deprecato criticism at all. l rather invite it; but whe2 it is officially put forth, there is, it seems to me, a certain fairness due from one branch of the public service 10 another.'
 The letter of Secretary SchuTz, on Indian affairs, to the Secretary of War, reached General Sherman after it's publication. The document has been forwarded to General Sheridan, with the request that he communi- cate such facts as he may be in possession sustaining his assertions against the conduct of the Indian service.
