THAT SOLDIERS HOME DISCREPANCY.
The following statement of the alleged
discrepancy in the accounts of the National
Soldiers home, is furnished by the treas
ury department. The circumstances of
the case seem to be as follows: The home
is corporation, and settles its own ac-
counts through its own executive officers,
with its treasurer, who is the Gus
todian of its funds. The home
is, however, required to render a
statement to the government of all its re-
ceipts and expenditures, and this statement
of account is examined and settled by the
proper accounting officer. In the settle
ment of this account, made some time
since, the home was credited with two diff
ferent items, amounting to $4,000. as
having been paid over to and disbursed by
the eastern branch of the home,
but the treasurer of the eastern
branch subsequently stated that he
had returned the $4,000 for
recent settlement between the United
States and the home. The second auditor
and second comptroller charged the home
wit the amount thus returned to it by the
treasurer of the eastern branch.
1t was supposed that in the settlement
made between the officers of the home and
General Butler at the expiration of his
term as treasurer this $4,000 was not
charged back as having been returned by
the treasurer of the eastern branch. Gener-
al Butler turned over to his successor the
balance on hand, as shown by that settle
ment, but if the above supposltion shall
prove to be correct, it will be necessary
for him to turn over $4,000 in addition to
what was then understood to be the bal
ance.
Whether the correct balance was trans
ferred by him to his successor or not can
be ascertsined by examining the books
and vouchers in the offices of the treasurer
AID secretary of the home. General But
ler has expressed his readiness to pay over
whatever balance is found to be due.
THE cHIRICAHUA APACHEs TO BE sQUELCHED.
The following kilograms were received
to-day at the department of interior:
SAN CARLOS, A. T., March 25.-Teller.
Secretary, Washington ! Excepting those in
the vicinity of Camp Apache, all the res
ervation Indians came in this morning
and were carefully counted, and all were
present or accounted for, beyond a reason
able doubt. I am very confident that the
Indians committing the depredations are
of Juh's band of renegades from Old Mex
leo. This Indians here, without exception,
express desire to fight the renegades if
they come, and they show no signs of dis
satisfaction. On the contrary they are
well disposed.
[Signed] WILCOX, Agent.
WHIPPLE BARRACKS, A. T., March o.
Secretary Teller, Washington: Your dis
patch received. Outrages are just report
ed to have been committed by a small
raidins party of Chiricahua Apaches COM
ing back from Mexico, where they have
been living since they left here one year
ago. Up to the present moment seven
persons are known to have been killed on
our side of the boundary. Troops are in
pursuit.
So far as the threats made by the people
of Tombstone are concerned, am in full
sympathy with them, and should be glad
to learn that the last of the Chiricahuas was
under ground. They are an incorrigible
lot. Ten years ago, when other Apache
bands we're whipped on to the reservation,
the Chiricahuas were specially exempted
by ths government from this same subju-
cation. Since then it is believed
that they have killed not less than 1000
persons in this country and in Mexico, they
constantly trying to stir up mischief
among the agency Indians, and so long as
they can run back and forth across the
border, this territory snd New Mexico must
look out for trouble. They are the worst
band of Indians in America. The agency
Indians are behaving well. Not one has
left San Carlos and their assistance can lie
relied upon in case all the Chiricahuas re-
turn, as they may do if pressed by the
Mexican troops, or for desire of plunder.
Signed, GEORGE Crook,
Brigadisr General.
