Gen. Crook Interviewed.


 Gen. Crook has been interyieB es by an Omaha Herald reporter II, says the Bannacks, Flutes and soml of tae Shoshones are engaged in th. late uprising, which vas caused bJ the want of supplies. The Genera thinks that tt is hard upon soldiers te have to fight when all the trouble has been brought on by thieying agents, but harder thing is to be forced to kill the Indians when they are clear- lly in the right There arc good grounds for serious apprehension in regard to trouble with the Indians. As long az the nazzle-loadiag arms were ln use we had the advantage Of them, and twenty men could whip a hundred. but since the breech-load- ers came into use 1t is entirely differ ent; these they can load on horseback, and nov they are S match for any man. In regard to the Bannacks, I vas up there last Spring, and found them n a desperate condition. l teIegraphed, and the agent telegraph ed, for supplies, but word came that no appropriation had been made. They have never been half supplied The agent has sent them of for half 8 year to enable them to pick up something to live on, but there is nothing for them in that country. The buffalo is all gone, and an Indian can't catch enough jack rabbits to suDsist himself and family, and there isn't enough iack-rabbits to catch. What are they going to dol Starva- ton IS staring them in the face, and if they wait much longer they won't be able to fight. They understand the situation, and fally appreciate what IS before them.
 R.-I was told the other day that the encroachment upon the Camas prairies Was the cause of the trouble
 Gen. C.--So 1t is. Those prairies are their fast source of subsistence. They are covered with wilter from April to June or July, and there IS a sort of root which grows in them under the water, which is very much like a sweet potato A squaW can
 
 gather several bushels a day of them. Then they dig a hole and buiId 8 6re in 1t. After it is thoroughly heated the roots arc put in and baked, and when they are taken out they are very sweet and nice This root is their nam source of food supply.
