GENERAL. ARMSTRONG; TALKS.
He Says There Is No Danger OF Al
Indian outbreak

Washington. Sept ~. General Arm
strong assistant commissioner Of In
dian affairs, speaking on the change
Of the United States troops and the
abandonment of several military posts
In the west says it will have no effect
whatever upon the Indians.
There will he no outbreaks as a
result of the changes" he said. las
there are still plenty OF troops easily
accessible to any possible point Of
danger. The fact is. there is little dan
ger OF Indian troubles now. There is
more danger from the anarchists in
Chicago than from all the Indians in
the west. With the present railroad
facilities troops can be transported
from large posts more quickly than
they can march from any of the little
posts which have been abandoned.
