Crook Not Likely TO Call Upon the Pre-
sidio for Aid.
SAN Francisco, May 26th-Adjutant-
General kelton was interviewed by a toH
reporter at the Preside this afternoon, rela-
tive 10 the order of the War Department TO
use all necessary troops and every eXertion
to ettectually end the Indian outrageS in
Arizona and New Mexico. In the course OF
the conversation Kekon said: | don't
believe we shall be asked by General Crook
for men. He has already more men than
he can actually use in the field He has
two full regiments of cavalry. one Colored
and one white, besides over 200 Indian
scouts, and if much pressed he has the
Fourth Cavalry stationed in New Mexico,
the adjoining Department. If Crook has
need of any of us, we can send from here
two troops of cavalry nj few hours no
tice. In case of an emergency we could
send equally as rapidly five companies of
infantry and four of artillery. 1t is not
likely that Crook will require either the in
fantry or artillery, nor Is it any more prob
able that he will require the cavalry. Crook
is an experienced Indian fighter has expe-
rieuced men in his command, better than
any that could be found elsewhere. and !
am positive that he will be able to meet
the present difficulty without calling upon

sections of lan, adjoining, the committee
