WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Before leaving Washing
ton the Secretary of the Interior made statement
IN reference to the POncas Indian affairs, of which
the following is the substance:
There has been so much criticism upon the
treatment OF the POncas by the Government, that
j deem il proper TO give clear statement of the
faets which Will show that the wrong done TO
that Indian tribe was frankly acknowledged III
ny first annual report, as well as the report of
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, and that in
the meantime everything has been done to indem-
nifty them for their losses and to make Their sltua-
tion as comfortable and prosperous as possible. BY
the treaties Of 1917, 1926 and 1858 tract
of 10000 acres in Southeastern Dakota
was secured to the Poncas. By the treaty
of 1865 between the Uuited States and
the Sioux this tract was ceded to the Sioux, ire
spectiye of the rights of the Poncas. The Poncas.
however continued to occupy the coded tract, bu
they were so harrassed by raids from the Sioux
that the presence of troops was frequently required
for their protection. They petitiOned the Govern
ment several times to remove them to the Omaha
Reservation. where they might live insafety. In 1876
al agreement was made with the Sioux Indians by
a Commission, of which the Hon. George w. Many
penny and Bishop IL. p. Whpple were members on
the part of the United States. 1t was agreed that
the Sioux Indians should receive all annuities pro-
yided by the treaty of 1868, and all subsistence and
supplies provided for them at such places Iii the
reservation as the President might designate. At
that time the Sioux were at Camps Robinson and
Sheridan, in Nebraska.
"In pursuance of the agreement Of 1876, Con-
gress by act Of March g. 1877 provided for the re-
moyal of tie Sioux to the Missouri River and the
removal OF the Poncas to the Indian Territory. The
Indian Appropriation act of the previous year had
also made appropriation for removing the Poncas
thither. As the initiative step Inspector
