HOW z HOW z
An Indian Delegation mt the Interior
Deparfmeuf.

Tho several Indian delegations visited
the Interior Department to-day and had a
conference with the Secretary and the In
dian Commissioner. The following chiefs
were present: OF the Wnnebago agency,
Alex. Payne, Mitchell st. Cyr and White
Breast OF tho Omahas, Henry Fontenelle
E-Bi-Homba and Two Crows; of the Blue
Ridge agency, Red Cloud, Capt. Sword and
Young Man Afraid Of Horses of the Rose
bud agency, White Thunder Cook and
Milk; of the Crow Creek agency, White
Ghost, Wizard and Buffalo Ghost of the
Standing Rock agency, Big Head, Bears
Rib, Red Bull, Fire Heart and Shooting
Walker; P0ncas, Standing Bear, Old Smoke
Birds Head and Buffalo Chips.
Secretary Kirkwood, through the three
Interpreters, said: "Thirtecn years ago the
President sent commissioners to make
treaty with the Sioux. A treaty was made,
and by that treaty the land that had been
given to the Poncas was given to the Sioux.
The land of the Poncas being thus taken
from them and given to the Sioux, they
had no land to live upon.
"Four years ago the Poncas were removed
from Dakota to the Indian Territory, and
q majority of them are there now A part
of the Poncas were not willing to live in
the Indian Territory, and with Standing
Bear left for their old home in Dakota,
where they now are.
"At the last session of Congress 1.-THE white
mans great counciD money was appropri-
ated for the Poncas in both locations, in
Dakota and in the Indian Territory. A
part of this money was to be expended in
putting up some buildings for the Dakota
Poncas. But we can't build houses with no
land to build them on.
$50 the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
and have brought these delegations here
to see five can get from any of them land
upon which to erect these buildings for the
POncas. ~ Nj aMI
1--WE want the Sioux to talk this matter
over, and see if they will agree to give the
Poncas portion of their land and for what
price,"
The same request was made of the
Omahas and Winnebagoes, and they were re-
qucsted to call tomorrow upon the Secre-
tary of the Interior and give the result of
their consultation.
Tomorrow the Poncas will be informed
as to the results. The Secretary is anxious
to get the Poncas location in the most
desirable portion of their country. The
Winnebagoes will meet at the Interior De-
partment at 10 tomorrow, the Omahas
at II and the Sioux at IL. The Poncas will
be informed at o'clock tomorrow.
The Secretary informed all the Indians

The Yorktown Centennial.

To the Editor of the Evening Critic:
The Republican of this morning gives its
readers n PRONUNCIATION from the State De-
partment, inviting the relatives of Baron
Steuben to be present at the Yorktown Cen.
tennial. 1t is said that the young gentle
men of the State Department did not know
who Steuben was, or what part he took in
the Revolutionary war, and had to call in
the aid Of Prescott. Now, If instead
these young gentlemen had sent to the
War Department library they would have
found very fine edition of "Knaps Life
OF Baron Steuben," an exceeding interest
ing work, and recently presented to Chief
Clerk Crosby by gentleman of this city.
We are glad to hear that this invitation has
been officially extended, and that the rela-
tivcs of Steuben are to receive this merited
recognition.
But why, let us ask, have the relatives
of Count De Grassee been almost over
looked? Dc Grassee's services were equally
valuable, and in some respects were more
important than those rendered by Steuben
De Grassee seized and fortified Fort Mon
roe Point, and by so doing prevented Corn
wallis retreating in that direction. When
Lord Rodney sent the stupid Graves lad
miraD from New York with formidable
fleet of ships of the line with orders to sail
directly and destroy the French fleet, and
relieve CORVALLIS and his army,
De Grassce, by eonsummate tact
defeated Che whole thing. Instead of al.
lowing. Grayes to give, him battle ON the
battle-ground, inside the capes, he weighed
anchor rnd put to sea. Graves was stupid
enouglft6 follow him, under the belief that
the Frenchman was trying to get away. He
was doing nothing Of the kind. AS soon as
he had g@t Graves away from Yorktown
and far enough out at sea, he bore up,
ranged his ships in line Of battle, and after IL
hours severe fighting so cut the Englishman
up that he was glad to get back to New
York and report damages. All hope of
relieving CORVALLIS was now ct an end,
and when no received news of the terrible
disaster, and that the feet had returned to
New York in crippled condition, he called
a council of his officers and it was decided
to surrender.
1t has been said that it was with great
difficulty Washington could persuade Gem
cral De Grassee to remain with his ships
in Hampton Roads; that he was
anxious to meet and engage the
British feet then threatening the French
West India Islands. That he was anxious
and even ambitious to do that is true But
that he ever contemplated abandoning
Washington has never been proven. He
was hater of the English and an enthu-
siast in our cause; and we sincerely hope
the young gentlemen of the State Depart
ment will extend to De Grassee's relatievs
as cordial an invitation to be present ut
Yorktown as they did to the relatives of
the patriotic Steuben. A.
