agency, saying he would endeavor to take care OF

and have this day made long telegraphic re-
port to Gen. schofield, giving the salient points
bearing on the present Chirlcahua situation; any
attempts to keep the captives apart from the other
Indians would rouse their suspicious and If it did
not drive them to the mountains, would seriously
Jeopardize the recovery OF the captive boy"

dian affairs, the children of the captured Apache
Indians will be sent to the various Indian schools
