The Army in the Department OF the
Missouri.
WASHINGTON. Nov. Sin his annual
report to the War Department of the
operations Of the army in the Depart
memt of the Missouri, Brigadier General
Merritt states that on several occasions
during the past year troops have been
called out to suppress threa tened Indian
outbreaks, but upon their appearance
their services were not required, AMI
they were returned to their posts with
out going into action. The presence of
troop, at the polls in TIE Oklahoma
elections was requested by the authori-
ties, but their arrival seemed to have a
quoting effect, and the anticipat tod riot
aid not occur.
General Merritt says that the cattle-
men in the Cherokee Strip show no dis
position TO violate the conditions gov
erning their stay in that territory. Tho
condition of the people in Oklahoma is
represented Ivy General Merritt as bad
in tho extreme. The severe drought
has rendered the corn crop Il failure.
Investigation has satisfied him that
about one-third of the people are with
out food or money, and will need assist
ance from outside the Territory or
starve. 1t will also, he says, be neces-
sary to supply about half the farmers
with grain for seeding purposes Gen
eral Merritt incloses the report of the
medical director which says the sanitary
condition of the department, without
EXCEPTIONS most excellent and the gen.
cral health of the commands very
good.
