W \sntvoToV. .I.ui. ! . ' . ifipoelal Telegram

eral Sehoilold both expressed the opinion
todiy that the backboiioof the Indian war In
the northwest wns broken , nod it would bo
but a fo-v dnys before the scttlerswouldhavo
assurances of safety. Tfcoy acknowledpo
that the desertion of some ot the lHomilies
about the Pine Hldgo ngenoy and their loca
tion in the bid lands looks embarrassing ,
but tlioy bellcvo that the next move of the
military will i onto the worst of theouemv
nnd bring about n speedy termination of the
dtltleultlcs. General SchoTTSld ventured the
opinion that It was the Intention of the In
dians to nmko war. Ho thdught the dances
nnd the Messlih craze in the flr-it plnco wore
Intended to bo harmless , but during the past
low dnjs the Indians had crtms to the conclusion - /
sion that they wcio to bo ! disarmed for nil
time , nnd , not having sufhVient provisions ,
they foaicd suffering from1 the \\unt of food
nnd theieforopiofeircd to light their nay out
ot the situ utIon.
Secret iry Proctor snldi ] the department
\\ould fuinlsh moro armh to the settlers
threatened by the Indians If deemed neces
sary by state ofllcors , nnd that the governor
of Nebr.islw and South Dakota need not host-
tate to call upon the department for assist-
unco if an omeigcncy should arise
Theio is nothing In tha ofllclul atmosphere
nt the war department to indicate that Gen
eral Miles' course of conciliation , or rather
pe.icoful force , Is not entirely npproved by
the picsidont , the secretiry and General
Scbolicld. Ills dispatches ire received nnd
liled without iepljuud overvttiing goes to
show that this trio of authorities is peifectly
complacent over the situation ana Its man
agement There Is a strong puty In favor of
n moro decided stjlo of hostilities , such , as
thov claim , \\ould li'ivo prevented the trouble
nt Wounded Knee creek n few days ago
They say thnt n single assault with intent to
kill if necessary would precipitate a battle
so full of lasting benollt that the loss of n
few men less than were killed the other day
would not boregaided. The theorv of thl's
argument seems to bo based on the bcliof
thnt n dead Indian is nver so much more
valuable to the govoinmeilt than a captured
one or ono cajoled Into subjection 'Ihe Crook
peonlo nio loud in their claim that if General
Ciook had been iili\o the trbuulo would have
been finally settled w eeks ago On tts falhcr
hand the Miles faction -and the dllToruices
between the two have not been healed by the
death of Crook contondthatsurhncainpiign
as that which Is bi'ing conducted by the com
mander now at Pine Hidgo 4s not only feas
ible , but the only proper stjlo of warfare ,
every condition being regarded. Thev argue
in lobuttal of the "dead Indian" theory that
the Sioux can bo easily subjected nnd ro-
tuincd to their reservations if the proper
moans aio employed , and they think the
piesent campaign is the only way to accom
plish that end.
A ivnr department official was asked today
where wns thut cordon of troops that uns
ready to close on the hostile Indians at a
moment's ' notice , and his reply was this
"Oil , that cordon business was all non
sense. How can ! t,000 soldibrs form a cordon
for over three hundied mllosl If the reports
nro true that the frlendlics''Jiavo joined the
hostlles , leaving nothing bab\nd but oquiws
and children , tlioio will no n-'opetition of the
Ouster massacio. Miles' end oil his men
cannot help it. You see , tlia redmon uro at
honio inwtho hilla , ail , ' * uAi j'.ioof'Just'
as well in waiter ns In summer. The
soldiers , on the other hand , nro ham-
poted by their hoavv clothing , nnd ,
although they are good shots , they me
not In ft with a band of desperate Indians
The fact is , the Inalans never will lemain
contented ns long ns the Indian agencies are
political appointments. An Indian agent
knows ho must make his pile in four-\curs ,
and (500 ( pounds of beef weighs only 100
pounds ns n result. Then the Indians go
liungiy nnd get restless and nro easily led off
by the light loving bucks. If Hill Cody had
been let alone ho would have settled the whole
trouble. A parley and n council of warwould
have resulted In a thorough understanding of
what the Indians complained of nnd the
friendly Inclined Indians could have been
located. You see , the Indians hnvo conrl-
dcnco in Cod ) and ha could have reasoned
with them. Crook had their confluence , too ,
but Miles and every other armv officer can.do
nothing with them but fight them , and they
may get the worst of It after nil. "

Ho Says tlio Indians Are the Victims

Nuw YOIIIC , Jan. 2. The New York Free
man's Journal vvlll publish tomorrow a letter
from Father Craft , the Catholic missionary
who was piobably fatally stabbed in Mon
day's battle. Father Craft said that in the
beginning the Indians hoped for much niO
from the government to cnublo them to become
como Hko the whites. They were , however ,
ill-treated , mocked nnd discouraged in
every way. Instead of being wards they
have felt they vvoio the victims of unscrupu
lous politicians , who bonouttcd by their mis
ery. Father Craft adds :
'I know w bat I say , for I have shared their
sulTciings for rainy j ears In tholr dcsinlr
General Ciookbiought them hope Their
conlidcnco In him led them to hope that thov
would be able to realize their hopes. His
death was their death blow , and thov
know it The Inlians nro not
fools , but men of keen Intelli
gence. Iho reduction In rations increased
their fears. Uven the Indians protested
against cruelty. Mr. Lee , who took the cen
sus , made ginvo mlstnkos. Ho counted less
than the real numbers und made false re
ports of piosperity that did not exist. It is
not lo bo wondered that the believed in tlio
Messiah , whom tnoy at ilrst doubted and lls
toned to every deceiver who promised hooo.
Interested white took advantage of this state
of affairs and bowled for troops The army
indignantly protested npalnst the false state
ment : ! , but had to go to the scene of the sup
posed dancer. Interested whites persuaded
them that entire destruction was aimed
at , and the Indians ran iivvny in fear and do
spalr. Father Jutz claimed them and 1
btout'ht them back to the agency , and the
kindness of General Brooke convinced them
of their safety. The ccnOrnl'B plan to send
Indians after these still out was good , and
would have succeeded If the'&oncrni was left
alone. Just as a tree can bo-tracea from Its
smallest bunch to its root , so can the Indian
troubles bo traced to starvation and the mis
ery of the Indians. "
In conclusion Father Craft nrralgnod Com
