WASHINGTON, August q, 1885,

Hon. John a. Martin, Topeka, Kdn.:
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 18th ultimo
was received in due time and referred to the
Commissioner of Indian AfairA whose re-
ply herewith inclose.
As will be observed from the Commission
ers letter, Congress, at its last session,
passed an act providing for an investigation
Of Indian depreciation claims, and directing
the Secretary of the Interior to cause list
of the same (which may be approved" etc,
to be made and presented to Congress. This
will doubtless be followed at the proper time
by an appropriation for the payment of such
as may be approved by the Secretary aud
Commissioner.
Many of the claims on file were doubtless
established to the satisfaction of the State
Board, but whether the evidence submitted
there will be sufficient to satisfy United
States authorities is matter of some doubt.
The probabilities are that unless further
proof is submitted, come of the claims will
be reduced in amount and others disa.lowed
entirely. 1t is therefore important that all
claimants should put themselves in com
municaton either with the Commissioner or
some attorney here who will attend to the
matter for them. Truly yours,

KANSAS CLAIMANTS.

CoFresp0ndence Relating to the Abuse
ment Of Claims for Losses by Indian Dep
dations.
TOPEKA, KAN, August 27.-The follow
ing correspondence, concerning the claims
of citizens of Kansas for losses Occasioned
by Indian invasions explains itself and will
be of interest to many Of the people OF
this State. 1t will be seen that, under date
of July 1s, 1885, Governor Martin addressed
letter to Hon. s. j. Crawford, the States
agent at Washington, calling attention to
these claims, and asking him to ascertain
what steps had been taken to secure their
adjustment and payment. The Governors
letter was referred to the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs, who, under date of August
20, 1885, replies. The letter of the Com
missioner and that of Ex-Governor Craw'
ford furnish information to claimants as to
the steps necessary to secure the adjust
ment and payment Of their claims. The
correspondence is, therefore, Of public in
terest and is furnished for publication. The
letters are as follows:

please inform me what steps have been
taken in this matter toward securing an al
1Owance of these claims, and what prospect
there is of their ultimate payment. Yours.
