 WASHINGTON, Febuary 10-The house committee on Indian affairs today took up the joint resolution authorizing the removal of the Apaches now prisoners in Marion barracks, Ala, to Fort Sill, I. T. Lieutenant Lawton, of New Mexico, tes- tified that if the Apaches became dissat- isfied at Fort Sill they could easily reach thelr old haunts. The sanitary condi- tion of Fort Sill, he said, was bad Ger onimo had been on the war path at least three times.
 W. H. H. Llewellyn, of New Mexico, and Brewster Cameron, of Arizona, pro- tested earnestly against the removal. Their testimony was in line with pro- test signed by them and sent out several days since. Cameron said there need be no trouble about getting reservation east of the Mississippi; the people of Ari zona would themselves pay for enough land in Vermont te settle the Indians on.
 Delegate Smith, of Arizona, said that
 this movement in behalf of the sick In dians was due to sickly sentimental ity; if the Indian was to be rated with such consideration it might be we'll to give the white man show. If those Apaches ever get west of the Mississippi river they will find their way to San Car los. Geronimo would never rest until he had stirred up trouble. If cloud of their presence is to be cast over the peo- pie of Arizona, Smith said it would be just as we'll to bring the Indians back to the White Mountain reservation at once and go through the experience prior to 1887 again. If the governments will take one third of the money it has expended for agricultural experiments by which 1t has endeavored to teach Geronimo and his band arts of peace, it can buy a reservation for them east of the Mississ- ippi and build each of them a house The proposed removal of these Indians would paralyze every industry in Ariz- ona, and the people of the Territory very vigorously protest against it, believ- ing they would be greatly outraged.
 Adjourned.
