 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S.-General John Pope, Tn his annual report to General Drum, adjutalt general of the l United States army at Washington, says: Tt should seem that Vancouver, the Presidio of San Francisco and some point to be selected in Arizona, as near Us practicable to the Mexican boundary line, are the proper places to con- centrate from time to time all the troops in their divisions. My own impression Is that Fort Huachuca would be the most suitable point in Arizona, but I should defer entirely to General Crooks views on that subject. For full and very satisfactory account of the condi- ton and progress of the Apaches it is as satisfactory as It Is surprising and If con- tinued, will in few years, leave no necessity for alarm nor military protec- tioD, In that region. 1t Is to be hoped that hls recommendations and plans on the subject of tn, SC Indians may meet with cordial and efficient support in Washington. or course joint jurisdic- ton, as 1t now exists, over these Indians IS unfortunate, and leads to continual controversy and some times bitter troubles between the officials of war and the interior department, which should be eliminated from the question If pos sIble. So far the wise and judicious course of General Crook and his subordinate officers, in direct charge of the Indians, has prevented any serious obstacle to the success of the present arrangement. As the present progress and condition of these Indians seem largely due to General Crooks wise policy and personal influence he has and maintains over them, 1t would ap- pear in the highest degree judicious tha; he should be sustained strongly and firmly, md given such further authority and control as he thinks necessary to success"
