THE SITUATION IN SOUTHWESTERN
NEW MEXICO.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 90 Senator
Manderson, Congressman Springer
and Laird called upon the secretary OF
war this morning to discuss with him
the situation in Southern New Mexico,
in relation to the Apache troubles.
They represented to him the defense
less condition Of the people, and made
known the purpose to introduce bill
in congress soon after tAe recess,
providing for the raising OF
body of troops for the
special purpose of hunting, and if
necessary, exJerminating the murder
Gus bands which have been making
that region a desert. They propose
that these troops shall consist of
frontiersmen and be placed under
the command of army officers. That
they shall be temporarily enlisted for
tnis special service, equipped, mount
ed and provided for in such way as
to be able to follow and fight the saw
ages in their Businesses.
During the progress of the CONVEX
satIon, which lasted an hour. an allu-
sion was made to General Crook s
record. Mr.. Springer read to the sec
retary letter he had received from
Judge Barnes, of the first judicial dis
trict of Arizona, ducussing the situa-
ton and setting forth the views of in
telligent men of the locality as to the
best remedy. This in brief was for
the government to raise a battal-
ION of frontiermen 10 be
lightly equipped, whose duty it should
be to patrol the region in small parties
and especially keeping in view the
watering places. 1t was possible for
Indians to move more rapidly than the
white troops could, by riding their
ponies until they dropped from ex-
haustien and then stealing others,
but they must reach the watering
places from time to time, or perish
themselves. Judge Barnes also pro-
posed the armiDg and enlistment of a
body Of Papago Indians, friendly,
Industrious race. who are as much an
noyed by the renegade Apaches as are
the whites, to fight the enemy.
The secretary said, in referring to
this plan. that the army was already
dong much of the service proposed.
General Sheridan had been sent out
to the scene Of the disturbance ard
General Crook, in whom they all had
confidence, was in command. Il
these could not subdue the hostiles,
no one could.
Mr.. Springer said he did not know
General Crook, and he had nothing
against him, but judging him merely
by results, he was failure. The ren-
egades did not number more than two
hundred men. Crook, with three or
four thousand men al his command.
had been hunting them fer years, and
had not yet succeeded In putting a
STOP to their outrages.
Senator Manderson came to General
Crooks defense, attributiDg TO bis
skill and ability the pacifcation OF
the Indians of Nebraska. The bill re
ferred to will be introduced by Con
gresham Laird, of Nebraska
JUDGE HoLAAs's OPINION on THE DA.
KoTA QUESTION.
/ WAsHISGfoS.D .Dac. 29.-1n speaking
today. of the recent occurrences In
Dakota, Judge Holman, of Indiana,
said that he thought the time had
probably come when it was right that
Dakota should De admitted as state.
The house, he said. had no right to
consider the political bearing of the
case The ozly questions that occur
red to his mind were, whether the
population was sufficiently permanent
to make IT better for them TO be under
state form of government, whether
the school Lands, ETC., could be sufi-
ciently secured, and the question of
the government interests In the reser-
vations- The government mad i'm
merse interests In the territory in
the extensive Sioux reservation
