No Mans Land.

WAsmINoroN, November 2l.-Thc at.
tcntion Of Mr.. Upshaw, Assistant Com.
missioner of Indian Affairs, was called this
morning to the following dispatch from
Rcdfork, Indian Territory. which has been
sent East;
Captain Hayes Of The Fifth Cavalry
came in last evening from the Sac and Fox
Agency and the Southwest, where he has
been moving Oklahoma boomers of the
forbidden lands. He states that the Indian
department has concluded to locate the
Comanchcs, Clcycnncs, Araparoes. Kena,
wees and ,Wichitns east Of the 9Sth degree
OF longitude, which embraces Klahoma.
This will settle that part of the country as
to being opened to white settlement"
Mr.. Cpshaw said: There is no truth ia
tl.c statement. 1t has been the policy of
the Indian office to secure legislation which
would authorize the use of Oklahoma for
such a purpose, but this has not been done.
No Indians have been located there. On
the contrary, they have been moved away
from there, and Oklahoma is treated by
the Department as no mans land"
