WASHINGTON, March, 6.-Chairman
Perkins of the house committee on In
dian affairs, sent the following letter to
General Howard in regard to the contro-
versy over the removal of the Apache
Indians to Fort Sill:
II am in receipt OF your letter, and in
reply will have to inform you it Is not
the desire OF tho committee ON Indian
affairs to become a party IN any way TO
the controversy that seems to exist be-
tween the friends OF General Crook and
friends Of General Miles. Some things
have air ady been said before our com
mittee that had no relevancy to the ques-
tion, which will have no influence
with US in our deliberations. We have
General Crooks recommendations and
have also been addressed by those who
believe with him that the Apaches can
be safely confined on Fort Sill, reserva-
tion, and have heard from General Miles
and delegates and representatives from
New Mexico and Arizona who think it
would be unwise to remove the Indians
20 Indian Territory.
The desire of the committee is to do |
only what is fair and right. | believe |
much of the faar entertained by the |
settlers Of New Mexico and Arizona is |
but while considering the |
good Of the Indians, think ii is right |
to take into consideration the wishes and |
interests of thousands Of settlers living |
ii those territories, who assert that |
since the removal of these Apaches, |
they have enjoyed their first security in |
these territories.
"Whether their fears are exaggerated |
and excited or not, l think it is the duty |
of the committee to realize their exist
ance. Under such circumstances it be-
comes i'm 9ortant for us to determine |
for the good of the Indians We
will. to some extent sacrifice the pros
perity Of the people OF Arizona and New
Mexico.
"Old Mexico also opposed their remov-
al to Fort Sill reservation, but the COM
mittee has not yet determined what ac-
ton to take in the matter.
