CHICAGO, July 10th. - The
1tmes's special Santa Fe dispatch
says that alarming reports reach
here from the Navajo reservation.
Some time ago Galen Eastman, a
minister of the Presbyterian
Church, had, by series of i'll.
timed and ill-advised acts, so ex-
cited the Navajoes that they threat
ened his life and demanded new
agent. The Interior Department.,
to quiet them, suspended Eastman
and turned the agency over to
Capt. Bennett, of the Ninth Cav
airy, who possesses much influence
with the savages. Capt. Benefits
administration soon settled the
restless Indians; and, during the
past year, with the exception OF
occasionally getting drunk and
stealing some stock, they have
given no trouble. A few days ago
the Rev. Galen Eastman again APP
peared on the scene with orders
from the Interior Department to
relieve Capt. Bennett and take |
charge of the agency. He imme.
diately gave off.nse to the Nava-
joes and they commenced to hold
pow-wows and show their dissa lis
faction. The commanding office
at Fort Wingate reports to the dis
trict headquarters that the Nava.
joes are restless and are assembling
armed and mounted. They de-
mapd the immediate recall of
Eastman and want Capt. Bennett
as their agent who, they say,
won't steal and will treat them
justly. There are not sufficient
troops in New Mexico to keep
them quiet, should they be in.
clined TO revolt. The officers at
Fort Wingate believe they will
kill Eastman unless the govern
ment speedily removes him. 1t is
reported that his first move was an
endeavor to make the Indians 20
to church and stop using tobacco. |
They number at least six thous-
and bucks and are the only tribe
that is increasing. There seem
little doubt, should Eastman re-
main, that he will share Meeker's
fate.
