missioner Hoyt publishes q paper
on the recent endorsements by
Generals Sherman, Sheridan and
Terry of q report made by Colonel
Carlin regarding half.breeds born
at Indian agencies, and says the
paper would have appeared sooner,
but the Secretary of the Interior
regarded it as needless. The Com
missioner addresses his communi-
cation "To whom it may concern"
and gives this origin of the trouble:
early in December last there was
a conference at the White House
intended to enable the civil and
military branches Of the govern
ment to act in harmony and
promptly ascertain the work to be
done on the Missouri river. After
this business had been disposed OF
some conversation ensued between
Sherman and myself about the de.
moralization caused by the prox-
unity of the Sioux camps to the
Indian agencies. Gen. Terry, who
was sitting at some distance, made
the remark that he believed the
Sioux women to be exceptionally
virtuous, and asked me If 1t were
not SO. I said in reply that if 1t
| were so those at Standing Rock
Agency must be an exception. 1t
had been stated that nearly half of
| the children born at that agency
were haif-breeds. This was all
that passed between General Terry
and myself on the subject, and was
the only reference made to the
Standing Rock Agency. 1t would
seem that If there was anything
said by me on that occasion that
would justify Gen. Terry's subse.
quent letters. that was the time
and place to make the issue, as there
were present the President, Secre-
tary Schurz, Generals Sherman
and Terry, Superintendent Ham,
mond and myself"
Commissioner Hoyt thus closes
his paper: "One.effect of the pub
licaiion of these endorsements will
be to surprise the public that Off.
GERS in high positions should in.
dulge in style of remark that
allies and closely resembles the
Chinese method of warfare and has
only to be persevered in to bring
honorable names into disrepute. "

MEMPHIS, August 27th.-To.day
the weather is cloudy and gloomy
in the extreme. The fever has not
only increased in the city, but
seems to thwart the efforts to save
the lives of the many poor people
who are moved out of the city, by
appearing in two of the camps. 1t
is now definitely known that three
deaths occurred yesterday from
fever at camp Joe Williams and
several others of the refugees are
sick. In addition u woman died
from heart disease. When found
this morning in her tent, young
baby was found on its dead moth.
er's breast seeking its wonted nour-
ishment. At the camp near Over.
ton station. on the Memphis and
Paducah Railroad, Charles Fagan
died this morning. For the past "a
hours the Board of Health records
show 100 new cases and 20 inter-
ments. DR.. Erskine was taken
down to-day, also Fathers McGav.
ney and Bollet, Of st. Peters par.
ish, two more of the sisters at the
Lasalle Academy, w. w. White,
clerk at the Peabody Hotel, and
James Russell, who has been ac-
lively at work among the sick of
the Odd Fellows fraternity. The
fever has taken down many ne
groes in some neighborhoods and
sick ones have been found in al
most every house. There is great
need of physicians and nurses, eur
own physicians having more than
they can attend to, and many of
the sick having to 60 for days with
out the attention of a nurse. A ride
through the districts where the
fever ia worst, draws forth many
appeals to be directed where or
how to obtain the services of
physician. AS result many do
not receive medical attention until
too late to save life. The Howard
Association employs five physi-
clans, but the sick calls are more
than they can attend to. Two of
our practising physicians have died
with the fever and five others are
now down.
