The Cattle Men Must Leave tho In
dian Territory.
WASHINGTON, July 22.-After ma
ture confederation the President and
Cabinet have reached conclusion
that the leases of lands in the Indian
Territory held by cattlemen are in
valid and ii has been determined to
take steps TO have them set aside.
General Sheridan has reported that no
permanent settlement OF the troubles
IN the territory can be effected while
cattlemen are in possession OF the best
lands, and 1t is the intention of the
President to remove the disturbing
elements and reserve the Indian Ter
ritory for the exclusive occupation OF
Indians. The method OF procedure
has not yet been determined. A pres
idential proclamation may issue, but
1t Is regarded by well-informed per-
sons as more probable that actions
will be begun In the United States
courts OF the western division OF Kan
sas as having jurisdiction looking to
q declaration of invalidity OF the
leases.
After the Cabinet council to-day and
In accordance with the advices OF Gem
eral Sheridan, tho Secretary OF the In
terror decided to turn over to the War
Department the complete control OF the
Cheyenne and Arspshee reservation
in the Indian Territory. 4 Telegram
received at the Interior Department
to. day from Insl eotor lArmstrpng au-
nouncss that the oouut OF the Indians
on tho Cheyenne apd Arepnhoo ressr'
walton is progressing quietly and no
further trouble is approhended.
