 NEW YORK, May 15.-rhe Herald's Washington special says A gentleman for some time resident in Arizona said to your correspondent this evening, that if Secretary Teller actually disarms the Indians he will put an end to all Indian troubles. Whether he will succeed in doing it or not is in my opinion an open question The Indians and bad white men are all in league together to defeat him II he had the power to hang the traders who sell arms and ammunition to Indians, that would help him. But one thing is certain: if he can disarm the Indians on reservations he will save the lives of a good many white men, women and children in Arizona. The Indians were not only armed, but were better armed than the troops last fall, and as they choose their own time and places for an attack they managed tok1ll a good many people. Secretary Teller IS carefully preparing to make some Oth- CT changes in the Indian policy looking in the direction of making the lives of white men, in the territories, reasonably safe against Indian attacks. There is reason to believe that under his admin istration of Indian affairs some atten- ton will be paid to the security of white settlers hable to Indian raids.
