What Captain Couch ~ As Told by secre-
tsry Lamar About the Oklahoma
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The Post to.mor-
row morning will print an interview to day
between Captain Couch, the leader OF the
Interior, with regard TO the Oklahoma land,
and in the course of which Secretary Lamar
said: What is it you wish?'
Il want to know what course the admins
tration has determined to pursue with refer
ence TO Oklshoms and the Settlers replied
Captain Couch.
"Well, sir, 1 will stste to you the policy OF
this sdministl alton with regard to the Okla
homs country" said the Secretary.
ii considers the Oklahome territory, on
which the persons you represent are pro
posing to make settlen ents and part OF the
Indian Territory The Administration "a.
CARDS it as not part of the public domain
open TO entry snd settlement, and acquisi-
sition of titles under the land laws
of the United States. Being Indian
country, that is. territory acquired
and reserved for Indian occupancy, the Gov
eminent is pledged to the protection of ii
and the security of the Indians from intru.
ders. No white persons have the right to go
there and reside without permit, and when
they DO 90 they are intruders and are acting
illegally and wrODgfully. The policy
Of the President is to execute the pledge
of the Government, and to protect this ter
ritory from the intrusion of white persons
who claim that they have right to enter

ject to pre-emption and homestead settle

Couch, at is and it will be enforced" said
Mr.. Lamar. In reply to further ques-

BURIAL PLACE FOR CRANE.
Soldiers Home Gr6unds-White House

Special TO the Sentinel

Special TO the Sentinel.
WAsHINGroE, April i0.-The proposal that
a final resting place for General Grant be
felectsd in the Soldiers Home grounds is
received here with much favor. 1t would
be fitting spot in which to lay at rest the
mortal remains of the great soldier. Tne
grounds are situated mile or two north Of
the city. They are beautiful By nature, and
the hand of srt has added to their attractive
ness. Shady carrisge.ways wind through
them in every direction, and artificial lakes
have been made a refreshing feature OF the
scerery. During the summer they are the
scene of family picnic festivities; and they
are a favorite resort Of those who seek
health and pleasure IN pedestriSnism.
Here may likewise bs seen the
eQ1ipages Of the dignitaries OF the land, as
well as family carriages and other vehicles
of these who seek breath OF fresh air be-
hind more or less rapid pieces of horsefiesh.
The gentle rises and falls OF the land and the
shade OF the great trees make the Soldiers
Home grounds an especially delightful place
in which to enjoy short drive. 1t is intended
to eventually make this one OF The finest
drives in the country. The grounds are very
accessible, being situated just north OF the
city, and Will doubtless share the honors
with Mount Vernon as a Mecca of sight-see-
ing visitors to the National Capital If they
a. selected as the burial place OF General
Grant, as seems very likely.
1t has likewise been suggested that Gem
eral Grant be buried beneath the Washing
ton Natioral Monument, and the White
House grounds and the crypt of the Capitol
have been mentioned as fitting spots for the
site OF the grave of the great commander.
The crypt Of the Capitol was designated by
Congress as burial place for George Wash
iDgton over forty years ago, but the contem-
plated removal to the tomb there was never
accomplished. although the consent OF his
family had been secured,
