CONTROL OF TIE INDIANS.
Gen. Miles Suggests Their Transfer to
the War Departnl ent

N6A' MILES . CS&6SL 4n0T 4EauSl0T w
the War Departm ent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Gsn. Miles made
suggestion the other day to the war de-
dartment respecting the management of
the Sioux which has stirred up a good deal
of feeling in the interior department. His
idea was 10 have the management of the
Sioux transferred to the army for a consid-
erable time, if not forever, and have
five Of his subordinates OF the rank of cap
tain detailed at tae five principal Sioux
agencies to look after it. His suggestion
was approved by Gen. Schofield and also by
Secretary Proctor, who communicated it
with his approval to Secretary Noble The
letter is said to have been incensed at this
invasion of the prerogatives of the interior
department, sand to have said at first
that he would treat it with
silent contempt. However, he finally
replied to Secretary Proctor's letter, telling
him in more or less official language practi-
cally to mind his own business and not med
die with that of the interior department.
Yesterday the matter was brought up in
the cabinet and warm discussion is said to
have occurred between Secretaries Proctor
and Noble. As the President sides with
Secretary Noble, the proposed transfer Of
the Sioux from the interior to the war de-
partment will probably not take place.
Secretary Noble and the President are
opposed to 1T on principle, believing it
would be the beginning of a new policy
under viii b the war department would
extend its jurisdiction over all the uncivil-
lied Indians, to their detriment

KILLING OF sARRUNDIA.

Commander Refers Alleged Lack OF
Judgment in the Affair.
WASHINGTON. Dec. S1.-Secretary Tracy
is preparing letter to Commander George
Reiter, who was in command Of the United
States ship Ranger at Guatamsla' at the
time Of the Barrundia killing. When Com
mander Reiter was detached from his ves-
sci, 1t was understood hero that it was on
request of Secretary Blaine, who was
represented as desiring further infor-
nation regarding Minister Miners position
in the matter. Sufficient material came in
possession of the state department to justify
the recall of its represe sentative at Guata-
mala, ,aHd Commander Reiter was permitted
to remain on waiting orders at Pittsburg,
Pa. A few days ago he visited Washing
ton and called on Secretary Tracy, to
whom he explained personally his relations
with Minister Miznsr and his action in the
Guatemalan trouble.
CONSIDERABLE INACTIoN.
Secretary Tracy had regarded Com
mander Reiter's inaction, apparent from
the latter's own reports, as in part RESPONSE
BILE for the fatality at San Jose. That
officer had stated that he had waited on the
American minister aud requested instruc-
tions before every action taken. The Oh
jections of the department appear to be
that Commander Reiter preferred to follow
literally the naval regulations, when a
departure and action on his own re-
sponsibillty would have prevented an
awkward state of affairs. Sec
retary Tracy is understood to
] have taken the ground that in the absence
| of Minister Miner and the necessity of
| immediate action Commander Reiter was
warranted in extending to Gen. Barrundia
protection from the Guatemalan officers
| Minister Miner was communicated with
and in the delay of an answer valuable time
was lost, and then the naval officer accepted
| Instructions the tenor of which were in
direct opposition to his own Judgment, as
shown in his kilograms Of inquiry to Min
ister Miner.
MAY ESTABLISH A PRECEDENT.
Secretary Tracy's letter is awaited with
some interest as being calculated to estab-
| lish the future relations of naval officers in
foreign stations and representatives of the
state department. 1t is felt in some quarters
that the communication will be more than
implied censure. On the other hand, there
are those who look for lenient view Of the
matter, made possible by Commander
Reiter's recent interview with Secretary
Tracy and a supplementary letter to the
| department.

The committee Of the Amalgamated So
ciety Of Railway Servants has determined to
grant the Scotch strikers 43, 900 to aid them
in their fight, aud has promised to send
them more money if it is required.
All the men who went out on the strike
on the Glasgow and Southwestern railway
have offered to return TO work. Most of
them have been reinstated in their old posi-
tions, but in many cases the men find
that they must resume work at re-
duced wages Others have been told
that their places have been filled and
that their services are no longer required
The collapse of the strike on this road has
had depressing effect on the men who are
out Oh the Caledonian railway. These
strikers, however, show no signs Of weak
ening, and express their determination 10
continue the fight at all hazards and to hold
out to the very last.
Execution of the warrants which have
been issued for the arrest of a num-
Der of signal men has been suspended.
