 WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-In his annual
 report upon the operations of the
 army in the department of Arizona.
 Brigadisr General Grierson command
 ing, says: "Now that Forts McDowell and Verde have been abandoned with a
 view of their early transfer to the In terior department for Indian school purposes, and the authorities should
 consider the advisibility of reducing
 with the least possible delay the num-
 Der of Indians in the vicinity of the San
 Carlos agency by the removal of tho
 Yuma and Moiave Indians to those
 reservations. White men have taken | up nearly all the hunting and grazing
 grounds of peaceable Yavapai and Supai Indians in Arizona and these h.
 dians have become exasperated to such
 degree that trouble is likely arise at
 any time.
 Therefore Grierson recommends that
 the "Black Tanks" their hereditary win
 ter camps taken from them by white
 men two years ago be restored and that
 their reservation be enlarged, carefully } defined and their title made good.
 The report says recent surveys shows } that a railroad can be constructed } throughout the grand canyon of the
 Colorado at a feasible cost and libera
 encouragement should be given by the government to hasten its completion and open up that famous wonderland. | Grierson disapproves of the proposi-
 tion made by the Indian Inspector to organlze regiment of Indians as dang ! erous. The Posts at Forts Lowell
 Grant and Bayard says the General, can be abandoned without detriment to the , service and such troops as are stationed there as cannot be provided for in New Mexico and Arizona may be removed elsewhere. The Post at Fort Union
 could be abandoned at once by trans ferring the troops of the 76th Cavalry tC Fort Wingate, Company c. 10th In ? antry to Fort Marcy and Company H of that regiment to Fort Stanton. T Grierson reviews the recommendation } that the present Military Reservation , at San Pedro, Cal, be enlarged as it is the most available place for harbor
 and adjacent to Los Angeles. The small and poorly situated post at San Diego should be disposed of and suit
 able reservation obtained without de
 lay in order that a large post may be , permanently established at that i'm lportant seaport and facilities offered for
 the proper Notifications of Point Loma The best site is at North Island and the peninsular on the east side of the bay entrance. Grierson says congress should make liberal appropriations for the purchase of such tracts and the con- structiou of permanent posts for the accommodation of troops now at the
 island posts where they are no longer , needed and which must be abandoned ] Railroads obviate the necessity for keep , ing so many troops in the territories and , they should be concentrated on the sea coast where they can be made comfort l able instructed and disciplined. In view of the recent unwarranted attempt to grasp lower California from Mexico the present time is suspicious for the establishment of these permanent posts The general speaks with satisfaction of
 the marked improvement in the condi-
 ton of the Indians of the White Noun tain Reservation and recommends they have a separate agency, and that good } school be established at Fort Apache. Grierson says the Jica Rillas who are
 still attached to the Ute agency should
 have sepa' ate agency.
