WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 30.-The an
nual report OF the secretary OF war con
tains in addition to the matters usually
covered, the following in reference to the
! Apache prisoners of war:
After eight years confinement, al a
charge of nearly half million dollars TO
the army appropriations the remnants of
certain bands of Apache Indians, number
ing 346, held as prisoners of the govern
ment, have been established on military
| lands near Fort Sill, and under strict sur
yeillance have begun to sustain them
selves by agriculture. In consequences OF
atrocities committed upon settlers IN the
| southwest these bands were pursued and
! captured in 1856.
In the autumn of that year, with their
| families, numbering in all 49o persons,
| they were imprisoned at Fort Plckens and
| Fort Marion. OF the youth, many were
sent TO the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa,
so that whe the prisoners were NOV ed TO
| Mount Vernon barracks III April, 1857, they
numbered 40. At this place everything
| possible was done 10 direct their progress
toward state OF civilization, but the MILL
| tary reservation at this post WAS too linn
| tied to permit much instruction in agricui-
| ture. On September l, 1891, and March Il,
following, IOtCN-siS cApOlVeS from tue
| White Mountain Apache reservation were
also sent to Mount Vernon barracks
During their confinement, on &C cunt OF
unfayorable Climate and other conditions.
the original number was reduced nearly
one-half by death. so that there survive but
eighteen who were In arms when taken into
custody. and fifty-tive who had at some
time been hostile to the government, while
l57 children have oeen born in captivity.
Secretary Endicott in 1888 reported: at
is very desirable TO secure some place
where the climate is suitable, and oppor-
tuniIy may be had to instruct and employ
them in agriculture" and in 1890 Secre-
tary Proctor asked for authority from con-
gress to transfer them to Fort Sill. Efforts
from time to time to secure the permission
of congress failed until, by the army ap-
preparation act of August 6. 1894, author
ment TO transfer the prisoners to any mill
tary reservation under control of the
department.
Full investigation of all the conditions
convinced the department that the reser
walton at Fort Sill, which is about 600
miles distant from the scenes OF their
crimes, was best adapted by Climate,
nature and extent of land, military garri-
son. and other considerations for perma-
nenG agricultural settlement of these
prisoners. Accordingly, in September,
they were moved to Fort Sill, and are be-
ing established on military lands. with a
garrison entirely adequate to their control
and under conditions tending TO their self
suDport and ciVliiZ alton.

opened fire on them, when they
stampeded in every direction. We
killed seventy of them and then went
