the few regiments of regulars which
has been kept from the foreign field.

Porto Rico, and, although Capt. Bryan
is satisfied with his post, he would like
to get a crack at the Filipinos before
peace is declared.
He was appointed to West Point in
1879 and graduated in 1888. His early
service in the army was with the Sec

With these words Gen. Miles replied
to a Star reporter who saw him for a
moment today with regard to the prob
able action he would take in view of
the adverse report of the court.

A very close friend of Gen. Miles and
an officer of the army, when asked if
there was anything for the general to
say or do in regard to the report of
the beef board, replied: 'There Is
nothing for him to say or do. The re-

of the report of any other action would

Gen. Eagan, who is reprimanded in
the report. is not likely to ask for any
further investigation. Lieut.. Col.
Maus of Gen. Miles staff, the other
officer criticized, feels it keenly. His
friends say he was among the wit
nesses whom Gen. Miles asked to be
called, but were not by the court.

Steps Of the Great Admiral.
Washington. May S.-The navy de-
partment has selected a successor to
Admiral Dewey to command the
Asiatic station.
Orders were issued today detaching
Rear Admiral Watson from command
Of the Mare Island navy yard, near
San Francisco, and ordering him to re-
port to Admiral Dewey at Manila to
relieve that officer when he feels that
he can be spared there. Rear Admiral
Kempf, at present on waiting orders,
has been ordered to succeed Admiral
Watson.
1t may be remembered that Admiral
Watson during the latter part Of the
war was named as the commander Of
the eastern squadron, which had as its
objective point an attack on the Span
ish coast. Owing to the sudden termi-
nation of hostilities this move was
never made.

The Indians i'm America.
,difor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please tell me the number OF Indians
NOW in America. and inform me whether
the report that the race is diminishing Is
true or not. - a.
The statistics of the Department OF the
Interior show that the number OF Indians
in the United States, exclusive Of Alaska
was. in 1895. 1880; in 1896, 2iS,S54 and in
1897 2iSS54. The statistics for 1898 have
not been compiled, for which reason we
are unable to give you the number for
that year.
The belief that the Indians are deereas-
ing is not borne out by facts Forty years
ago they were said to number some 100000
and thirty years ago about 10000; but the
numbers in nearly all cases were esti-
mated and are believed to have been IN
excess Of the facts. the data upon Whlch
the same was then based having since
been found to be unreliable, and, in many
instances. without good foundation. Even
now it is impracucable TO obtain accu-
rate statistics in all cases; but the popu-
lation now reported is believed 70 be sub
stantially correct, and fully equal. If not
greater, than at the period first named.
