WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The secretary
of the navy decides that there is no law
under which he can render the desired as
sistance to the poor people on the naval
reservation at Pensacola,
The final decree of the secretaries of war
and the navy is that it is not practicable to

RESIGNED.
Supervising Architect Hill this morning
rendered his resignation to Secretary Fol-
ger, to take effect on appointment of his
successor. The secretary of the treasury
has issued calls for fifteen millions of
three per cent.
CROOK AND TIE APACHEs.
The secretary of war has received let
ter from General Crook asking that inquiry
be made as to omissions in the published
copy of his letter of Aug. Z last. Some of
the kilograms made General Crook say in
referring to Cbiracahua prisoners that
they surrendered with an understanding
that their past misdeeds would not be pun
nished provided they behaved themselves
in the future, whereas he wrote that it was
with this understanding on their part. He
was thus made to contradict his repeated
statements, that be had re-
fused the Indians to guaran.
tee their safety from punishment.
Gen. Crooks account of the matter was
clear to the secretary of war and secretary
of the interior when here, he stating that
while he had made this refusal, it was diff
ficult if not impossible to make the Indi
ans understand that he could not control
the matter. His statement as written is
entirely consistent with what he said here.
This omission, with other changes of less
Importance, doubtless arises from hasty
copying in some distant Office, as the let
tsrs was correctly transmitted from here.
There is the best authority for the stating
that both war department and interior
department have the highest confidence in
Gen. Crook and are in complete harmony
in wishing and furthering the success of
his earnest endeaYors to put stop to Apa-
che outrages in Arizona.
NO AID FOE GREELEY.
The secretary of war and navy have de-
cided it is not practicable to send another
expedition to the relief of Lieut.. Greeley
this year. They have consulted DR.. Emil
Besssls and Geo. KEENAN,, gentlemen of
Attic experience, whs are recognized as
the best authorities here, and have received
letters from some who are more distant.
These consultations led to the conviction
that little can be accomplished after Oct. 20,
when there are but few hours daylight in
that region. The danger OF wrecking
new relief party in its at
tempt to reach Upernavik is es-
timated to be far greater than should be
incurred for the chance of rendering any
aid to Greeley. From Uppernavik no aid
could be given except by sledging and this
is regarded as totally impracticable Lit.
Grsely's case is regarded as by no means
hopeless, He has the advantage of day
light in which to move if he left his sta
ton as ordered no later than September
ID. The days, it is said. which would be
lost, in Quitting vessel and in voyage to
Greenland will be utilized by him. Ar
irving at Cape Sabln not far from Sep
TENDER Is, perhaps earlier he will learn
Garlington's kisaster and determine on his
plans for winter, If he attempts to
move south from the Danish
settlement, he has 74O rations
at Cape Sabine, $40 more on an island in
its vicinity, west of Brevoort Island and
24O at Littleton Island, sufficient without
retrenchment for forty eight days for his
command. But it is said he may choose to
regain Lady Franklin Bay, over distance
of about $50 miles. There he had more
than years supply of the best assorted
food, including bread stuff, canned meats,

preserves, sauces, and alss lights, fuel and
shelter. For his journey northward he
would have at Cape Sabine and on the is
land west of Brevoort some thlrty-nins
days food at starting and
on this road deDots at reasonable
distance, which he will not have emptied on
his way down to Cape Sabine. OF these
dspots, there were at Cape Hawks over two
months supplies, ten days at Cape Col
lisow and ten at Carl Ritter Bay. From
one to another of these he can travel com
paratively light, sure to find plenty on
his return to Lady Franklin Bay. He
cannot fail to know that most earnest
efforts will be made to relieve him next
year and plans will at once be prepared to
put on root an expedition which it is said
shall meet all the wishes of the most
anxious friends of the party.
