A FEATURE OF GEN. CROOKS INDIAN POLICY
--CATTLEMEN LEAVING THE RESERVATIONS
Gen. Frank Armstrong, Indian inspector,
who has just returned from an official visit to
the San Carlos agency says he found every
thing there in first-class order. He says that
each buck on the reservation is tagged, and ID
required to wear his tag in sight. These tags
are made of brass, and In different shapes.
The shape indicates the tribe 20 which this
wearer belongs, and letter of the alphabet
stamped on the tag shows to which band Of the
tribe he is attached. A number stamped on the
tag indicates the In dividual Indian. On tho
rolls his name Is written opposite 10 that num-
Der SO that in the payment OF annunities ana
the issuing of rations each buck can be easily
identified. When the time OF settlement with
them comes round, any Indian who does not
produce his tag is SENTENCED 10 thirty days In
the guardhouse. Gen. Armstrong says the sys-
tenn was devised by Gen. Crook when he nrst
took the Indians. then just captured on the
war path, to the reservation, and that II works
admirably. Gen. Armstrong says the Indians
are thoroughly in subsection, and the best order
is maintained at the agency. He Also says that
there is a great deal of fine grazing land In ARR
zona belonging to the government which has
not been taken up. Gen. Armstrong says that
cattle owners have about removed all their
stock from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
agency, in compliance with the Presidents
PROCLAMATION.

ever he and Secretary Manning can agree upon
proper men to take their places. He says he
will not force upon the Secretary any man he

any one Gen. ROsecrans doesn't want Mean
serve. The general says that when the Presi-
dent spoke Of giving him the registership of the
Treasury he replied that he thought the duties
OF the office were not just such as would be
suited to his qualifications, as bookkeeping was
entirely outside of his line. He talked the mat
ter over with both the President and Secretary
Manning, he says, and finally told the
the conditions that he should have a good
second In command whom he could trust to at
tend to the details of the Office and instruct the
clerks as to their duties; and, moreover, that he
should have the designations of all the chiefs of
divisions In his hands at once. The President,
Manning. He talked the matter over with Mr..
Manning, who finally said, "Well, go ahead"
He then took the place. he says, and has been
going on since, acquainting himself with the
routine OF his office and gradually improving 1t.
The first thing was to get the designations ofthe
men could be agreed upon to fill their places.
He has recommended the consolidation OF the
currency and coupon divisions and that Mr..
Neale, the chief of the currency division, be re-
duced to 81 400 clerkship, and that the resig-
nation OF Mr.. N. b. Walker, chief of the tonnage
division, which division has been merged into
another, be accepted. He has recommended
the reduction of the force of his Office all along
the line. naming six clerks whose services could
be dispensed with.
