COL. FORSYTH vINpIckTEp,

Careful Investigation Of all the Facts by the
Secretary Of War SETS Him Right, and lie il Re-
stored 10 Command
Secretary Of War Proctor has given much
time 20 a painstakinC study Of all the facts con-
neCted with Col. Forsyth's management of tho
fight at Wounded kee Creek and the result is
a complete CxOneratiOn from the charges
brought against him by Gen. Miles, and the
restoration Of the Colonel Of the 9TH Cav. 20
his command.
Eliminating the redundant verbiage from
Gen. Miless charges, their kernels appear TO be:
i. That Col Forsyth received numerous
and strong warnings from Gen. Miles aud
others rs 20 the desperate aud deceitful nature
OF Big EOUts band, which had these qualities
intensified by religious excitement until they
reached the point Of frenzy. Col. Forsyth dis
regarded these warnings in an inexcusable and
inCOmpreheusible manner
2. That he disposed his men In the worst
possible manner He could have interposed
his command between the bucks and the squaws
aud p8pOOses, but instead he placed one troop
where il masked the Ere Of the others and all
were ia danger Of the fire OF their comrades
weapons. Two troops were directly under the
IRE Of the liotehkisses, and were In great danger
from them until they rushed out Of range.
After Gen. Sch0iield had investigated the
case he recommended returning Col Forsyth
TO duty, and c0mpimented the 7th Cav for its
excellent conduct in a most trying situation.
Secretary Proctor went into the details more
extensively. He states that he found by the
testimony Of Maj. Kent and Capt. Baldwin, who
had been detailed by Gen. Miles 10 investigate
the affair, that tho troops were well disposed 10
prevent an outbreak, or an escape OF the armed
bucks for raid upon the settlement The out
break, when u came was mad piece Of work.
and nothing shows this SO well az the fact that
the first fire OF the frenzied bucks was in sach
direction as 10 endangeT the squaws and
pap0oses. Undoubtedly many Of these were
killed by this fire. The Ere Of the troops was
directly away from the tepees and against the
warriors, until the latter made break aud
mingled with the women and children, where
they continued the tight and drew on them the
fire OF the troops, which unavOidsbly killed
many squaws and papO0ses. There was no evil
dence that any Of the soldiers were killed by
the fire Of their comrades. The Secretary fails
TO find that Col. Forsyth was TO blame in any
particular and therefore concnrs in the recon-
mendation Of the Major-General commanding
the Army that be be restored TO the command
Of his regiment
When n reporter approached Gen. Miles after
the publication Of the Secretary Of Wars ac-
ton, be said he did not care 20 make any state
ment de would do the same again under like
circumstances. Col Forsyth IS not under his
command but that Of Gen. Merritt

Admiral David Dixon Porter died at s:l5
o'clock on Friday morning, Feb -, at his

weeks ago, the family were made aware that
dissolution was only question of short time.
During the past six months DIR. Wales has been
at the Admiral's bedside two or three hours

peaceful, and came entirely without warn

death about IL O'clock and his condition was
about the same as il had been for weeks before.
