armed. Show him that at the best he is
powerless in your hands, and he will be-
come your best friend and cheerfully obey
all he may be instructed to do. It is I'M
fair too to deprive him of the means of
protecting his home and property against
white scoundrels, who, armed to the teeth,
infest the border, and would consider
nothing SO worthy of their prowess as to
plumber ponies or other property from un-
armed Indians just beginning to plant or
raise stock.
So long as white horse and cattle thieves
roam the country SO long should the In
dams at San Carlos be allowed to carry
arms for their own protection. Further
more, it is not practicable to disarm the
Indians. Their arms can never be taken
from them, unless they are taken prisoners
with their arms in their hands while en-
gagged in fighting, by sudden surprise or
disabling wounds. When the Indians first
surrender or come upon the reservation,
they anticipate being disarmed and make
their arrangement in advance, concealing
most of their best weapons and delivering
up only the surplus and unservicea-
BILE. The disarming of Indians
has in almost every instance, on
record, been practlcai nature.
Imay add that the fact that the Indians
left behind have not come in, is matter
of no significance. The Indians have no
idea of the value of time. The members
of Loco's band who came into San Carlos
in May last, were sixty-siz days in max
ing the journey though they had forty or
fifty miles less distance to travel than
those whom left in the Sierre Madras.

A Terribly Destructive Fire in San Fran
cisco-A Man Burned to Death and
Several Others Fatally Injured
Other Accidents.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 4.-The extent
of the fire this morning was the greatest
that has occurred in this city since 1873.
Over two-thirds of an entire block is in
ashes. It was first discovered at o'clock,
and although the alarm was instantly turn
ed in, it was evident before the first engine
was on the scene that the fire would become
one of the most disastrous and difficult to
cope with the fremen had yet encounter
ed This was chiefly due to the
construction of the buildings. The
Winter Garden theater, where it started,
was long frame structure
filled with infammable material, with an
asphaltum roof, sandwiched between other
old buildings. No fire ever before occurred
in this city where the flames spread with
such rapidity. In fifteen minutes the
buildings near both sides caught,
making the heat intense. It
was useless to attempt to enter them g..
When the general alarm was sounded every
effort was directed to prevent the spread OF
the flames. Patrols were organized. ropes
stretched across the streets so as not to ina
pede the firemen, and strong fight made
to save the Eintracht, Red Mems and Dru.
ids halls and Pacific college, each IN turn
unsuccessful. When the flames
devoured the latter it ap'
peared as though the whole bloch
must go, including Trinity ch1rch and
the National Guard armory, but the brick
walls of the latter saved the church
From below Suffer on Stockholm to the
armory, on Post street, everything was &
seething mass of flames, but the efforts Of
the fremen confined it to those bounda
ries. At quarter to 3 the
fire was controlled. Several accidents
occurred, many serious. Harry Morgan
the actor, was burned to death and Others
fatally injured by jumping from windows
The fremen behaved admirably, saving
many lives that would otherwise hav'
persisted. The losses, it is believed, viii
not exceed 100000. Insurance $4,000.
