OPINION AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. Jan. g. Secretary
Noble. being asked what action had
General Miles that me Indian agents of
the South Dakota agencies be relieved
from further duty and that their places
he filed by military officers, said that
he did not care Ia discuss the matter
further than TO say that the subject had
been mentioned to him by any one
with authority to act in the matter. 1t
is believed. however, that should Cen
eral Miles recommendation he sub
mitted 10 him by the President for his
he would strongly oppose the
transfer. The agents sought to bc re-
are regarded as compctent officers
and any attempt to substitute a military
for a civil supervision Of the Sioux
undoubtedly he met with vigorous
by the Interior Department
The Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
says that TO the best of his knowledge
md belief the Sioux Indians of South
are not starving, and that he
has reasons Ia think that the S. statements
regarding their destitution are grossly
II is true that Congress
has greatly reduced the appropriations
'Or the Sioux and other tribes, and that
he agreements made with them have
,een only partially kept. Whose fault
his is he could not say. The seccnt
outbreak was. he thinks. partly due to
he easons above stated. the failure Of
heir crops and the religious craze. He
$ opposed 70 the transfer Of the control
II the Indians to the War Department.
