Commissioner Sparks Protects the Pub s a# lie Domain

Land Commissioner Sparks, who presides over the Land Office at Washington, in speaking of the re- form; instituted since he took charge of the office, says; "We found that there had been gigantic misrepre- sentation of the law going on here for years. There are two laws on our statute books, both looking toward the settlement of our great public do- main and the building up of homes for actual settlers, The government and the honest settler have both been defrauded by the dishonest applica- tion of these laws. One of them pro- vides for the pre-emption of I6o acres for homestead. The other provides that by actually settling upon tract 1t shall become the homestead of the settler. Who would have supposed that these two laws would have been so prostituted as to furnish the same man with I6o acres by pre-emption and I6o acres by actual settlement thereon? Yet this was done in thous- ands of cases. We have stopped all that. Then the timber culture law, which was really most excellent and equitable law, aud which could not fail to do great good if properly car ried out, was Prostiiuted, The law plainly says that b> the planting of ten acres of trees in prairie or arid land. one shall thus gain homestead of I6o acres. This office has been in the habit of permitting settlers to take advantage of this law anywhere. Set tiers have taken up homesteads under this law where considerable portion of the I6o acres are already timbered. l have put a stop to all this. By the means stated above we expect to save good homes for thousands of honest settlers. The time has now arrived when great care should be taken to save the public domain. The time is coming when it will all be needed. hold that I6o acres is enough for a homestead, and that all men should decide which law they propose to take that I6o acres under.

From the tenor of dispatches from Guaymas it may be inferred that the Sonora authorities fear that the threat. ened incursion of the Apaches and the Yaqui war will prove too formida. ble for the military force at their command, and they have therefore offered general amnesty to the Va quis upon condition that they will
 surrender and deliver up their arms. It is question whether this offer will have any weight with Chief Cajame.

WASHINGTON, June 4.--The follow ing dispatch from General Schofeld to Adjutant General Drum, relative to the Indian trouble, has been re ceived al the war department:
 "In reply to your dispatch of this date please inform the secretary of war that I do not believe it practical to do anything more at this time than has been done to furnish protection to the settlers in Arizona and New Mexico from marauding Indians. It is not possible to actually guard all the frontier settlements. It would require force many times larger than the United States army, besides the damage has already been done in Arizona and New Mexico. Set. tiers who have escaped have taken refuge at military posts and large set. dement's. l understand General Crook and Colonel Bradley have all the troops they can use in pursuit oi the Indians, but will send more il they can use them. In my opinion, the only way to protect the scattered citizens from Indians is to keep say age Indians under military control and not permit them to run over a large reservation.

A Soldiers Opinion of Crook and the xn-
 dian Situation.

A Washington dispatch to the San
 Francisco Chronicle says: In con. nection win the present outlook for the Apache Indians who were under special charge of General Crook, the
 following extract from private letter written by soldier serving at Fort Apache and dated May 7th, has pe- culiar interest: "The Apaches are peaceable at present, but the peculiar policy followed here by Gen. Crook is only calculated to defer the final settlement of the great question. The whole thing, including the Sierra Madre expedition, IS but vainglori. ous sham that ultimately must have an unhappy ending, when probably the responsibility will be on some one who will succeed General Crook. Officers of the army who have served with Gen. Crook in his former Indian expeditions, including that against the Apaches, have always maintained that his efforts really contributed nothing toward settling the Indian problem and that the expedition of two years ago against the Apaches vas an utter failure. The present outlook of the Apaches would seem to give confirmation to these opinions. "

 NEWS.

| FoRT BAyARD, N. M., June s.--The Indians, shortly after leaving the New Mexican line, evidently divided into small parties, which raided in widely separate localities, while the women and children are hid away in the mountains. Troops have been fol. lowing the different raiding parties without result, other than the break, ing down of their stock. It is i'm. possible with the troops to catch the ralding Indians or afford the citizens, scattered in the mountains, protec- tion from such parties.
 A dispatch from Captain Smiths camp, dated Sapillo Greek, June I, states that the Indians, women and children are scattered through the mountains east of Duck creek, on the Upper Gila. Lieutenant Davis, with sixty Apache scouts, are on the trail hunting them.
 The following is the present dispo- sition of the troops: The Tenth Cavalry and thirty Apache scouts are moving north from Fort Bayard to Datil range; Captain Chafee, with one troop of the Sixth cavalry, is in the vicinity of Cuchillo Negro; Major Van Horn with the cavalry from Fort Stanton and Mescalero scouts, are scouting the east bank of the Rio Grande to prevent the Indians cross. ing; Captain Madden, with two troops of the Sixth, is west of the Burro mountains; Captain Lee, with three troops of the Tenth, is moving across the Black range between Smith and Van Vllet; Major Riddle followed the trail of ten or fifteen Indians which crossed the railroad near Florida Pass, beyond Lake Palomas, Mexico. There is no definite information of other Indians crossing the railroad.
 Troops are now moving into posi- tions near all known water holes, be- tween the railroad and Mexico to in- tersept the Indians, moving south; Captain Lawton, with three troops of Cavalry, and Lieutenant Roachs' scouts, are in Guadalupe canon, near the boundary line; Major Beaumont, with two troops of cavalry, are in Stein's Pass.
