persons to bring about the failure of this ex-
pertinent. But it has so far been sue
cessful.
In regard to the outbreak o. Bannocks
last spring, Secretary Schurz says it must be
admitted that they were insufhcisntly sup
piled with food, which, however, was owing
to an appropriation of money by Congress
utterly inadequate to their wants. The money
available for feeding them amounted only to
less than four and one-half cents per head
per day. This created discontent among
them, when the murder of white man was
committed by an Indian. Tbs Indian was
arrested, tried and hung. The discomfort
grew into excitement. military detach-
ment attempt d to disarm them but with
only partial success, and finally The outbreak
took place.
AS regards the outbreak of 500 northern
Cheyennes, the secretary corroborates the
statements heretofore made by the commits
sioner of Indian affairs in special report on
this subject, showing that it was not caused
by hunger nor by any neglect on the part of
government officials 20 furnish them sup
plies according to treaty, but that on tho
contrary they received ample supplies and
more than they were entitled to.
Secretary Schurz adds: While in many
other instances Indian outbreaks are trace
able to treatment they received at the hands
of whites, it appears from information quoted
that in this case the outbreak was owing
to the mischievous spirit OF the head
men among the Indians themselves, and their
determination to return northward to their
old hunting grounds. Nearly all those run
away Cheyennes have been captured or have
surrendered and are now held prisoners by
tho military authorities. In the interest of
general discipline, and in order to show the
Indians that nothing can be gained by such
dlsorderly conduct, it is thought best to re-
turn them to their reservation in the Indian
Territory, after having given the civil au-
thorites of the State of Kansas an opportun-
ity to identify those who committed murders
and other crimes while passing through that
State, SO that they nay be dealt with accord
ing to law.
Secretary Schurz strongly defends the
action OF the department and special agent
ct the department, regarding timber depreda-
tons, and says. "We cannot close our eyes to
the fact that anything like complete success
IN suppressing unlawful practices is possible,
unless the efforts made by this department.
Tor the protection Of public property meet
with hearty CO. operation on the part of leg
1slative branch of the government. Actual
experience enables me to say that want of
such cooperation has been, and will always
be, an encouragement to depredators to per-
slst IN their lawless operations, and to DEFY
the authori,i es." The secretery recommends
such legislation as will preserve and enlarge
the timber bearing lands of the country.
