offer is so simple, and the feeling in
America in favor OF arbitration is 80

WARRINGTON, D. o., Jan. 5.-The rs.
port Of the relief Of Colonel Forsythe Of
his command Of the Seventh Cavalry by
General Miles, is confirmed at the War
Department to-day. The officials, how
ever, show a decided disinclination to
talk about the matter. Neither Secre.
tary Proctor nor General Schofeld is
willing to say very much on the subject,
although both practically admit that
General Miles did not act entirely upon
his own responsibility. Secretary Proc
tor said: General Miles did it. 1t is
very much mixed up matter and l may
explain 1t later"
General Schofeld was rather more
communicative. He said; "There is
not much that / can say about it Just
now, but am willing to explain as far
as can. 1t has been suggested by q
person whom / cannot mention that it
would be well to look into the matter Of
the fight on Wounded Knee creek the
other day, inasmuCh as the reports cay
that several Indian women and children
were killed. Accordingly General Miles,
