, shall Williams who accompanied thu
, general down to Caldwell, anG
who, in company with United States
Commissioner Sherman, returned last

well, Arkansas City and Cofeyville and q
full company Of soldiers stationed at each.
The general further said in case there was
any armed or other forcible resistance it
would not be well for those concerned, as
such an attitude would be attended with
the gravest results, even though not
a single shot was fred upon either
side. SO far as Marshal Williams could
learn 1t is the intention Of the department
TO absolutely prohibit any further attempt
TO settle the territory until congress shall
have taken some definite action, either
sanctioning the settlement or prohibiting it
altogether General Hatch was ask.
ed what would be done with reference
TO the Texas border, he replied that there
| was no danger from that quarter, the set
tiers down there lacked the enterprise or
were wanting In that spirit Of adventure
which characterized the boomers.
If there is any mistake in the facts as set
forth above, then Mr.. Williams failed to
understand the import of the generals
conversation, for it is just as given to us.
