Cleveland Regulates the Office Seeking
Nuisance.
WASHINGTON, October 27th.-The follow
ing was to-day promulgated by the Presi-
dent for the information of the public
EXECUTIVE MANSION, October 9th.
For nearly eight months a large share of the
time of the President has been devoted 10 the
hearing OF applicants for office, and the deter
mination of appointments. Much of the time
thus spent has undoubtedly subserved the pub
lie good; some of il has been sacrificed to the
indulgence of people in their natural insistence
upon useless interviews, and some of it has been
unjustifably wasted. The public welfare and a
due regard for the claims of those whose inter
ests in the Government are entirely disconnect-
ed with ofice-holding, imperatively demand
that in the future the time of the President be
differently occupied, and he confidently expects
that all good citizens Will acquiesce in the pro-
priety and reasonableness OF the following plan
adopted TO that end: After the first day of No
Yember, the President will decline to grant in
terviews 10 those seeking public positions or
their advocates. On Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays, during that month, from 10 to II in the
morning, he viii receive such other persons as
call on strictly public business; and on the same
days, at halt.past l in the afternoon he will
meet those who merely desire to nav their re-
spects. On all other days during that month he
will receive only Cabinet officers and heads of
Departments
Meeting of the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, October 27th-The Cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
members except the Postmaster-Gen
who is out of the city. The session was
devoted principally to the consideration of
questions arising under the establishment
of boundary line between the United
States and Mexico, and resulted in the
formulation of a series of Instructions to
the officers engaged in this service on be-
half of the Government. The question of
allowing publication by the press of the
annual reports Of bureau officers in ad-
vance of their being submitted to Congress
was also considered and it was decided to
leave the matter entirely TO the discretion
OF the heads of the respective departments
to which the bureaus are attached.

Operations Against the Hostile Apaches.
WASHINGTON, October 27th.-Col. Brad
ley, of the Thirteenth Infantry, has sent
| the following communication to the War
Department, touching the operations of the
troops pursuing the hostile Apaches under
| date of Santa Fe, October 9th:
General Crook reports by telegraph that the
| hostile Apaches who have been in the Dragon
| and Ghirachua mountains Arizona since fhe
last OF September, were driven into Mexico, on
| ry and party of cowboys. | have ordered five
troops of cavalry, under Colonel Morrow 10 &C.
| cupy the line from Cambrey on the Southern
Pacific Railway, to Minas Cienega and to patrol
| this line daily from the Rio Grande to the Ari-
1 IONA line. These posts, with the daily patrols
1 Will watch the country better Than the former
posts on the Mexican line, in my opinion, and
enable Us to get earlier information of any
movements of the hostiles north through this
4 Territory. The report OF hostile Indians neaI
4 the Datil mountains about ten days ago
was incorrect A party OF Navaios, hunt
/ ing in that country, were mistaken fol-
Apdches Major sumner, of the Eighth Cavalry
| reports that he found fresh trails in the No
4 gollen mountains. Lieutenant Cecil ran on q
4 party of ''rustlers.' disguised between Beai
4 creek and the Sapillo. He followed them some
4 distance but they escaped in the mountains
i This party has probably committed the depre
dations that have been charged to the Indians
4 Major Sumner will endeavor TO capture or break
A up this party. As far as known, there are none
4 of the hostile Apaches in New Mexico though
as they nave Deen driven out OF Arizona, II II
4 very probable that they will return to this Ter
Il ritory sooner or later. The commanding office,
4 of Fort Wingate reports a collision between
a civil officer and small party of Navajos yeser
Fl day, at Gallup, west of Wingete. The difficulty
n grew out of an attempt to arrest Navajo Indiai
4 charged with stealing cattle Shots were ex
il changed, and one Indian is reported wounded
4 Dispatches of last evening announce that tn,
II difficulty is over. Colonel Crofton thinks it wa
4 caused by hasty action OF the whites and /
4 may lead to some further action on the part
1 the civil authorities.
