MOBILES NOBLE NOTIONS.
He Thinks the Noble Red Man Should
Be Self-SuppOrtin1.

H0 ihlnks the Noble Red Man Should
Be self-SupportinR.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Secretary No
BILE was questioned today as to what ac-
tion had been taken on the recommen-
dations OF General Miles, that the
Indian agents OF the South Dakota
agencies be relieved from further duty,
and that their places be filed by mill
tary officers. The secretary said he did
not care to discuss the matter further
than to say the subject had not been
mentioned to him by any one with
authority to act in the matter. 1t is
believed, however, should General
Miles recommendation be submitted to
him by the president for his views, the
secretary would strongly oppose the
transfer.
The secretary spoke with some earn
estness of the reports that had been in
circulation recently, to the effect that
the Indians were in starving condi-
ton, and that the pending trouble grew
out # the fact that the government had
not kept its agreement with the Sioux,
but, on the contrary, had already be-
gun to cut down their rations in viola
ton Of all the treaty obligations. The
secretary denounced those statements
as unqualifiedly false. The story of
starvation among the Sioux was pure
fabrication. For ten long years the
government, in fulfillment of its treaty
obligations, had been feeding the Sioux
in idleness, some of them, however,
were thrifty farmers and good citizens,
but large proportion were a thriftless
and indolent set, perfectly willing to
spend their time in idleness and finding
fault with the government on every con-
ceivable pretext.
The treaty of 1877, the secretary said,
Obliged the government to furnish them
with a certain amount of food, clothing,
implements, horses, cattle, etc., until
they should become seli-supportinR.
After ten years elapsed, during which
time the government spent millions of
dollars with view of placing the Indi-
ans on self-supporting, basis, the mem
bers of congress very properly began to
inquire whether it was the purpose of
the government to continue indefinitely
and forever the policy of feeding the In
dians who persisted in living in idler
ness. They thought it about time I'll
test their ability to support themselves.
And 80 the appropriation was reduced
800, ,000--not a very large sum
compared with the amount usu-
ally called for. Thereupon the Indi-
an Immediately began to complain,
but nse<ae no-efort toward feeding him
self. He occupied vast territory contain
ing thousands of acres of productive land.
He was supplied with everything neces-
sary to improve it and raise good crops,
but preferred to do nothing and let the
government continue to put food in his
mouth.
1t was time, the secretary thought,
that these people should be compelled
to do something, and he had lost pa
tience with those who upheld the In
dians in their idleness. He sincerely
regretted that the recent action of the
military had resulted in bloodshed, and
he congratulated himself that his de-
partment was in no sense responsible
for it.

NOT STARVATION.
Commissioners Morgan Names the Causes
OF the Indian Trouble.

OVAAAAAAAbDAVn0K morgan Num00 the C8U8c8
Of the Indian Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The commits
sioner OF Indian affairs says to the best
OF his knowledge and belief, the Sioux
Indians OF South Dakota are not starving,
and that he has reason to think the
statements regarding their destitution
are grossly exaggerated. It is true, he
says, that congress has greatly reduced
the appropriations for the Sioux and
other tribes, and the agreement made
with them has only been partly filled.
Whose fault it was he could not say.
The recent outbreak was, he thought,
partially due to the reasons above stated,
the failure OF their crops and the re-s
ligious craze. He was opposed to the
transfer of the control of the Indians to
the war department.
The following table shows the
amounts by which the estimates of the
Indian bureau have been reduced by
congress, the past thirteen years: 1879,
$105, 900; 1880, $55, 900; 1881, 500, 600;
1882, $25,OOO; 1883, $275, 900; 1884,
$275 900; 1885, 1876, 900; 1886, $50, 1000 !;
1887, 100000; 1888, 100000 1889,
no reduction; 1890, 100000; 1891,
$4,000.
Inere was COQay lalQ before congress
letter from the commissioner Of In
dian affairs, to the secretary of the inte-
rior, giving the opinion that relief
fund should be furnished by congress so
as to enable the department to assist all
Indians who require aid this winter,
not only with food but also in
the purchase of seeds and other articles
required, for planting in the spring. and
to grant immediate assistance when re-
quired. He submits the draft OF an item
to be inserted in the Indian appropria-
tion bill, proposing On appropriation Of
$3.50, 900 for the purpose mentioned. The
tribes appealing to the government for
help, are principally the Yankton,
Sioux, of South Dakota, the Arickarees.

FOR SHOOTING sQuAws.
Col. Forsythe Of the Seventh Cavalry
Relic we'd of His Command.

Relieved of His Command.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The report of
the relief OF Colonel Forsythe, of the
command of the Seventh cavalry, by,
General Miles. was confirmed at the war
department today.
General Schofeld said: "It had been
suggested by a person whom | cannot
mention, that it would be we'll to look
into the fight ON Wounded Knee creek,
the other day, insamuch as the reports
state that several Indian women and
children were killed. Accordingly Gem
eral Miles, at suggestion from here,
relieved Colonel FOrsythe Of his COM
mand, pending an investigation of the
circumstances of that fight, which i'm
vestigation il probably being now con-
Quoted by General Miles. The general
ssaaIurs- i-4hs- asast.-iswis0 be i0Ukeca-
into, but the particular point in question
is the death of the women and children.
Considerable criticism against Colonel
Forsythe's suspension lie heard in the
war department. It seems to be di-
rected against the policy of relieving an
officer during The progress of campaign,
instead of waiting until the trouble is
settled. As to the charge that Colonel
Forsythe allowed his men to kill women
and children, it is stated it would be i'm
possible in the hurry and confusion of
an unexpected fight and subsequent
stampede and pursuit, to detect the sex
of Sioux. One officer remarked:
'It it preposterous to say it is neces-
sary in an Indian skirmish to stop firing
long enough to find out just what sort Of
Indian you are shooting at. Women
and men look very much alike in their
blanket costume ,and the former are quite
as fierce fighters as the men. The Sioux
squaw is as bad an enemy as the buck at
times. Little boys, too, can shoot quite
as well as their fathers, and what
spectacle it would be for q soldier, on
seeing 10-year-old boy pointing load
ed gun at him, with as true an aim as
the best marksmen in the army, to stop
his advance and cry out:
+. My son, you must drop that gun,
for you are minor, and am not al
lowed to hurt you T."
Another officer said: "At this rate
the Sioux troubles will grow to be Just
as bad as the events of the first three
years of the war, when every officer,
with an independent command, had not
only an enemy in front of him, but
court-martial behind him."
Still another officer said it was a grave
error to order the relief Of Colonel For
sythe at this stage of the proceedings,
and thus hold up a warning finger to
every colonel in the little army around
Pine Ridge, to tell them that the death
of each Sioux must be explained.

OMAHA, Jan. 5.-The Bees correspond

element here, and an attack from the In
dians is almost momentarily expected.
As to the situation here, considered in.

every scout add new and strong support
to these indications that were only em-

this, and has said so in strong words.
Ths small handful of Indian employees
