The Indian Territory Trouble.
WASHINGTON, March 4th.-The Star lad
ministration organ this evening publishes the
following semi-official article concerning the
Indian Territory raids: The reports
from Indian Territory indicate that
squatters are determined to enter the
forbidden land, and say that on ac-
count of the thinness of the line of troops
around it they cannot be prevented. This is
as possible now as it was last year, when the
first attempt on the Territory was made.
Then the squatters got in, but they
were put out afterwards They can
doubtless enter the Territory in bands,
taking for their points of ingress
parts of the line where there are no troops.
When they get in, however, they have TO
separate in order to build cabins and prepare
for occupation. Then it is that files of sol
diers go around, and picking the squatters
up. drive them from the land to which they
have no right. This was the experience last
year, and General Sherman has no doubt
that it will be repeated in the present at
tempt. The squatters may get in; that's
one thing, but staying in is another.
