oEN. scHoTlRLD's OPINIONS.
WAsHIsaIoS, June i-rhe following
dispatches nom Gen. Schonold 10 Adlu'
tant. General Drum relative 10 the In
dian troublos have been received NJ the
war department; ,
ain reply u your dispatch OF this date
please info m the secretary OF war that
i do not believe 10 practicable TO do
ANYTHING more at this time than has
been done To give protection 70 the set
tiers In AR zona aud New Mexico from
marauding Indians. IL Is not possible
~ actually guard all the frontier settle
ments. That would require force
many times larger than the United
States army; besides the damage has
Already been done in Arizona and New
Mexico. The settlers who have escaped
have taken refuge ut the military posts
and large settlements. L understand
Gen. Crook and Col. Bradley have all the
troops they can use In pursuit OF the In
dians, bat will send more II they can
use them. In my opinion tho only way
10 protect the scattered settlers from
marauding Indians Is TO keep the say
age Indians under military control and
not permit them 10 roam at Will over a
large reservation"

"The indians, shortly after crossing the
New Mexico line, evidently divided
Into small parties, which raided in
widely seperate localities, while tho
women ana children we're bid away in
the mountains. Troops have been fol-
lowing around the different raiding
parties without result, other than TO
break down their stocE.. III Is impossi-
BILE with troops 10 catch tho raidinB par
ties or afford citizen 20 scattered
among the mountains protection from
such parties. A dispatch from Capt.
Smith, dated SahillO Creek, juno J.,
states that the Indian women ard child
rem are scattered through the mountains
east OF Duck Creek atd the upper CHA
and that Lieut.. Davis and 60 Apache
scouts were on the trail hunting them.

Ing The railroad. Troops are row NOV
ing into position near All-know water
hoes, between the railroad and Mexico,
t. intercept the Indians moving south

Fourth cavalry, and Lisut. Roche's
scouts are in Gaudaloupe canyon, near
the boundary line. Mel. Beaumont,

been reported killed since the 2oth ult.
1t will be impossible for the Indians TO
keep their families in the country with

deavor to have the troops in position to
