PHGNIx, A. T., Oct. 25.-I have
Just returned from the Pima In
dian villages. The reported war
like disposition OF these indians is
ridiculed by those familier with
them. Agent Wheeler has inter-
fsred with the polygamous prac-
tices lately growing among them.
A number of bucks have gone to
the agency to talk matters over
with him and secure more liberty
of action, nothing more. There ~
not the least hostile disposition.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Sscre-
tary Blaine has addressed letter
of Instructions to Ministers near
European courts for their gu idance
in questions likely to arise In con-
nection with the Panama Canal.
The letter, in fact, emphasizes the
Monroe doctrine, holding that
while the United States declines
to interfere with the guarantees of
European powers III connection
with European affairs, 1T will in
sist upon those powers refraining |
from any interference by mutual
guarantee or otherwise with ques-
tion In which, next to the Republic
of Colombia, the United States has
the greatest interest; and the letter |
calls attention to the development
of the Pacific Coast and the ina
pOrtance of the canal AS means
of United States transc0ntinental
traffic.
