taken General Crook. and they are al busy
compiling the life OF that intrepid Indian
fighter. The officers at General Sherman's
headquarters entertain no fear for Crook, and
Captain Clsrke. who has served with that
officer in various campaigns, says: General
Crook knows better than any one else what
he is undertaking. No man has more init.
mata acquaintance with the Indian character
than he, and ne will not fooiishly enter upon
a mission without first carefully weighing the
balance OF SUCCESS and failure. The agree

tiles, and upon the question of a violation OF
the treaty there need be no apprehension.
The stipulation, as made, was that the nltsd
States could pursue the Indians to Mexico on
a hot trail, or vice versa, and while 1t con-
tanned limitations, they were not such
as Crook has infringed. As to his
success in meeting the Indians, 1 am
as thoroughly convinced as l am that L
am alive that General Crook knows what
he ia about. Although the sierra Madres
are very extensive, there are only certain
portions Of them where the Chiricahuas can
subeist. They haven't the power to range at
will through the vast chain, because the roots
and nuts .from which they derive their sup
plies are limited to certain sections. Fur
Their than these sections they dare not pene-
trate. Now as regards the outcome Of the
meeting, l am perfectly satisfied that If Cen
eral Crook doesn't attach any Mexican SOL
diers to his command, the Apachea, as soon
as they hear he ia after them. will come In
and give themselves up without bloodshej.
II ia notorious what an unusual hold Crook
has upon these psople. He is known to them

in the Platte, and the Indians know him as a
man who keeps his word and does what he
promises. Independent Of this general ac-
quaintsnce, the Cbiricahuas were General
Crooks old scouts when he had command of
Arizona, prior to his being transferred to the
Platte, and I sm confident when they under.
stand it is Crook who is pursuing them, and
that he is not accompanied by Mexican sol
diers, they will offer no further resistance"
