Show I Ix WHITING to the secretary of war concerning con-cerning the Indian troubles President HAiiuibox said I have directed the secretary of the interior to advise his agents to use their influence to separate tho well disposed from the illdlsposec Indians and while using their best endeavors to preserve discipline to avoid an outbreak until the war department has made the necessary neces-sary preparations Even in this little note we observe the spirit that governs our dealings with tho Indians The idea conveyed to tho Indiana Indian-a ents is that they should use their best endeavors to avoid an outbreak until the war department has mado the necessary preparations which means that as soon as the Indians are surrounded by tho troops then the agents need no longer attempt to avoid an outbreak Pacify tho Indians until they are thoroughly thor-oughly within our power and then do as you please with themthis it seems to us is the suggestion the President makes and it is a timehonored Indian policy of our government |
