rect question :
"It has been stated In the papers
that yon wont to Arizona aud m&do
peace with the Ohlrluahua band of
Apaches ; and the allegation waa fur
ther made that Gon. Crook was just
then prepared to conquer them. "
The general hoshnted Eomowhntnnd
said ho did not dcslro to enter into
uny controvory with a brother oflicor
nor to muko any reply to the state
ment that could be conatrnod Into an
attempt nt defense , when none was
needed. Finally ho requested that
the question , as above given , bo writ
ten , and then dictated the following
atiawor :
"In 1872 President Gront.ottho rc-
quent of Mr. Delano , secretary ot the
interior , sent mo to attempt to make
peace with those Indiana , tbo only ' '
tribe then at war with the United
Statoa. The president gave mo letters >
to the division and department com
manders , the latter being Qen Crook
and directed mo to report for specific
Instruction to the secretary of the In
terior. The letters and Instructions
are matters of record. I succeeded In
carrying out the latter , but never ox-
cendcd them. Gon. Orook and my-
oolf were acting under orders then
aa now. IIo la a judicious oflicer , and
1 wish him abundant success , "
A DANQEUOUS TUI1' .
The general gave a sketch of his
trip at the time of the treaty and said
with a half smile :
"I may have boon too zealous in
obeying orderu , but It certainly was
not a pleasant commission. I never
wont Into battio with as many chances
of death aguiut mo aa I took when
with an aldo , an interpreter , and two
. scouts I wont into the lair ot Oochlae
the Ohirlcahua chief , In the heart of
the Dragoon mountains. My scouts
found the trail and finally the hiding '
place of the band , nnd I waa i'l
, could go In , but only with four or five
men with me. I rode the last 126
miles through the most difficult
country , scarred with the deepest and
most precipitous canons you ever saw.
The entrance to Cochleo'a den could
have boon defended by ton men
- against an army. It was through h
- narrow canyon , with walls 200 or 300
foot high , nnd of sheer rock on both
. sides. I epont the night In the
- camp , and next night Go-
ohUa saw mo. I niado the
- treaty with him on my second trip ,
upon which I took buck provisions
oio. Tlio Indiana went to the reser
vation provided for them at Gamp
* Apcoho nnd were rftorward moved
why I know not , further north to
Carlo ? , nnd oongronnted with Indians
with whom they were not friendly.

terms. IIo wrote mo a beautiful letter

not wish any controversy betwoe

- "No. I think as ho would alnk

mine that ho will not judiciously. I
can't tell nn io the probabilities of his
success as I don't know the number ot
Indians with whom ho will have to

numbered tnoro than a couple of hnn *
died , but , as I said , Am without information
mation on the subject , The band Is
desperate , They have lost all , or
nearly all , their women aad children ,
nnd in my judgment none will ever bo
tnkoti allvo. The Apaches are said to
run nwfty when attacked , So they do ;
It Is tholr method of lighting , but they
nro the most dangerous antagonists In
the world , so for as nn ambush Is con
cerned. You may rldo right through
their country and never see head nor
hand , so perfectly do ihoy conceal
themselves , aud you can rldo right In.
to an nuibush , where yon least expect
U. The first Indication yon are
likely to have Is the rliip of arlflo bul
let. "
"How about Crook's scents ? "
The Apache scouts nro oxcjllont for
a time. So long ns you keep them
moving ; so long aa you glvo them ao-
tlvo work , something to Interest and
exclto thorn , they are excellent. They
cannot stand lunation , however , and
are very apt to gut tired , v/nnt to go
br.ok and , If permission to do so la
refused , to doaort and take the back
trail. "
"What of the alleged Mexican com
plications ? "
"Of them yon know as much as I
do ; your sources of Information are
the same as mine. "
' 'The country la very dlllicult of ac
cess nnd for travel , Is It not ? "
"Nono could bo more BO. ItIs far
worse than the lava beds of Northern
California and Southern Oregon. "

Cnic'ioo , May 20 The Times npo-
clal ouys : It Is nnnouuojd that an
agreement had boon entered Into be
tween the Tjnlon Pacific and the
Northern Pacific railway nudor which
the territory west of the Siiako river ,
In Oregon , Washington and North
Idaho , should bo regarded as belong
ing to the Northern Pacific , or Vll-
lard combination , aud all cast of the
Snakn river should belong to the Un
ion Pacific , or Qould combination.
The agreement is understood to con
tain further stipulations In refer
ence to the joint occupancy of
the territory of Montana. Under
the agreement the public Is
given to understand that
the extension of the Union Pa
cific known as the Oregon Short Line ,
was to terminate ) at Burnt rlvor , and
the Baker Gity branch of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company to
terminate at the lame place , where a
junction would ba formed. It trans
pires that little or no regard Is being
, paid to the alleged agreement , as It
is said that the Otogou Short Line is
expending thauoiuids of dollars in the
survey and locution of a line beyond
the point trhoro It was understood to
have agreed to atop.
The Impression la glvon out that
Vlllard haa been giving the Union
Pacific a wild goose chase , and ia put
ting his forces in the field to occupy
the territory o at of the Snake river
and to take In Boise City upon an in
vitation from Us citlzenn , who nro
anxious tu have a competing lino.
Many do not bellovo the road will
, build COO miles through thu desert
country and then stop 400 miles short
of the PaclGo coa.stat the very thresh-
hold of the section that would furnish
the very best of local trnftio. For
thlo reason they favor an extension ofa
the Northern Pacific , and as
gentleman from the cxtromo
northwest ould to n reporter
for The Times : "Glvo wostotn cutlet
opportunity to construct u road
through the country where It Is need
, ed. Surveys are now being made idy
the Union Ptolfio road of the Snake
river , but will never have a road con
structed upon them , and are believed
to bo made for the purpose of securing
un agreement , dlifurout from the ono
that Is said to exist about the terri
tory east and west of the Snake
river. "
,
The people of the country men
tioned are of the belief that there will
yet bo a hard strngglu between the
two combinations for possession TCf
tno Important territory in the ex
treme northwest , which will result
in the building of several important
branches nf road next year.

MOKEKHON'S rxtar. PUKTENCES.
Sotno time previous to the Instltu-
tlon of proceedings for bin divorce ,
Major Nlckorson applied to the war
department for an Attested record of
his military services Ho assigned as
a reason for preferring this request ,
that lie proposed going abroad and ox-
pcotod to visit Egypt to witness the
military operations there , Incident to
the war then In progress between the
English government and the khedlvo ,
and SB ho ( Nlckcrson ) was not n grad
uate of West Point , no desired to ceo
as credentials an attested copy of his
military record. Although contrary
to precedent , the department acceded
to his request and papers were duly
prepared In the adjutant general's
ollico. Major Nickorson did not go
abroad , but It now transpires that the
papers were used In the trial of the
divorce case to establish the high
ntaudlng and record of the plaintiff In
the suit.
PERU AND OHILI.
Senor Godoy , Chilian minister , has
advices from his government , via the
Mexican legation , Paris , announcing
the ratification of treaty of peace bo-
twccn Ohlll and Peru. His advices
ptato that General Igloslas , who signed
the treaty on behalf of Peru , la ac
knowledged ] , In the whole of northern
and coutral Peru. The terms of the
treaty include the cession to Ohlll for
ton years of the provinces of Tarapaca
and Arlca-Tacnaprovisionbolnguiado
that on the expiration of that term
the question as to whom the ceded
territory shall thereafter belong shall
bo submitted to a popular vote of the
people of the territory , the country to
whom the terrltoiy is voted to pay the
other $10,000,000 before acquiring
poesoesson.
Senor Godoy says northern and
contr.il Peru , which has acknowledged
Igloslas , constitutes about fivo-tixth *
of the whole territory of Peru and
Includes the capital , Lima , and the
principal seaport , Oallao. Ho says
also the treaty provides for occupation
by Ohlll of the coded territory during
the ton years covered by the terms of
the cession , and In all probability the
Chilian army of occupation Is now In
Lima and will remain there until the
Peruvian covcrnmont fully organized.
and older Is entirely restored.
Senor Godoy states that the tor ran of
the treaty were arranged by the
Chilian plenipotentiary and Gen.
Iglcslas , representative ot Lima , and
