SAID TO HAVE TAKEN A SCALP.
A Singular Charge Against Capt. How

A Singular Charge .Against Capt. How
ard, the Man of the GatIfug Guns.
OTTAWA. Jan. 1.-The Montreal Post OF
Dec. 20 charged Capt. Howard, The Amer
lean who was in command of the Cat
ling guns during the late balfbreed re-
bellOn in the Northwest, with having
scalped the dead after the fght.aC Fish
Creek, which took place at thetatter end
OF May last. The Montreal Gazette Of this
morning denies the charge, aud remindsl
the Post that Capt. H0wardwas not at fish
Creek, and that he did not arrive there
until several days after the fight. Capt.
Howard was, says the Gazette, on board
the steamer NorthcOte, which was stuck
in the Saskatchewan, $50 miles from fish
Greek, at the time that skirmish took
place, and IL he "scalped the dead at Fish
Creek' he must have dug them out of
their graves. The Post ofthis evening
has returned to the charge. 1t says that
IL was mistaken in saying that1he scalp
ing took place at Fish Greek; but that itl
can prove that IL was done at Bat0chel
when the Canadian troops carried that
village on June II.
There are several officers and men here
who were at Bat0che, and to-day all Of
them to whom ! spoke admitted that the
latter charge is true. They say that
Can't. Howard, in their presence, scalped
one dead man after the fight at Batocha, and
that when be was here recently he made.
no secret about it. The seaipiug, they
say, took place the day after the fight,
when one OF the rebel wounded died.
Whether the man scalped by Capt. How
ard was half breed or an Indian my in
lormants could not say. as IL was often
difficult TO distinguish one from the other.
The incident is likely TO cause a stir in
French Canadian circles, as Capt. How
ard is about 20 start cartridge factory
in the province Of Quebec, and his French
Canadian neighbors will be furious if
they discover that he scalped halfbreed,

HOMES FOR THE INDIANS.
GEN. SHERIDAN EXPLAINS THE
POLICY HE RECOMMENDS.

100000 Redskins Now Scattered Over
an Area of 100000 square diIes-32o
Aeres of Land Recommended for Each
miiy-Condemnation and Purchase
Ofthe Remainder Advocated.
WASHINGTON Jan. 3.--ln response to
a request for additional information exs
planatory OF the recommendations Of hi4
last annual report in regard to the Indian
question, Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan has writ
ten statement saying that in that repert
he recommended that each Indian family
be given (and located upon) the $40 acres
now provided for them by law i'm case OF
actual settlement; that the government
then condemn the remainder Of each res@
rvation, and buy IL in at 81 % per acre,
and with the proceeds purchase gOvern-
ment bonds to be held in trust by the In
terror Department, giving to the Indians
each year the interest on the bonds for
their support.
WORKING THE PLAN.
The General gives summary showing
the workings Of the method proposed in
the cases of the various reservations and
the tribes located thereon, and concludes
as follows: s'rhe Indian reservations OF
the United States contain about 100000
square miles. Their population is about
260000, Twenty-six thousand square
miles would locate each family upon half
a section OF land. leaving surplus OF
about 10000 square miles, which, accord.
ing to the plan / have proposed, would
produce annually S4.4S0.00 This amount
exceeds By about $3.50, 600 the entire sum
appropriated tor the payment of their
annuities, and for their subsistence and
civilization.
TO BE APPLIED GRADUALLY.
''The policy advocated in my report
would be most adyantageOusly applied
gradually, the general government OF the
Indians being continued according to the
methods now in vogue, or such improves
mentof them as time and experience may
suggest The ultimate Development sslg-
gested by the policy would, as the Indians
advance in civilization and intelligence,
result in the return TO them Of the princil
pal derived from the sale OF their lands,
which, until such measures we're author
ized by the act OF Congress, would be held
as trust Tor theirbenefit and the income

ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 3.-Mary Well
maker, colored girl II years of age, was
accidentally drowned by falling into the
branch near the East Tennessee, Vir-

ordinarily IS a small affair, but under
heavy rains for the past few days has be-
come greatly swollen. The girl was
standing on the banks of the stream
watching the water as it rushed by when
she slipped and fell. AS no one was
near at hand when the accident occurred
she drowned while calling Justify for
help. The body was recovered this after
noon several hundred yards down the
stream from where she fell in.
John Neal is still alive but is sinking,
and all hopes Of his recovery have been
abandoned. His death is expected at any
time.
