A Washington special says, as soon as tho President rotorns, there will bo a cabinet consultation whereat the Indian question will be fully dL-cusscd and eome plan adopted to meet any outbreak of savages that may occur this summer. The President Presi-dent is expected here at tho beginning of next week. Meantime no D2W arrangements ar-rangements will bo made cither as regards re-gards the Modocs or other hostile tribes. A proposition has been made'to hunt the Modocs from their stronghold in the lava beds with blood hounds, as was done in Florida during the Seminole Semin-ole irar. This, however, findB no favor fa-vor at the war department, and it is not likely to be adopted until alt other means of disloding them have failed, '-'en. Sherman regards this as he does ihu scalp bounty business, rather adis-hoDoriblo adis-hoDoriblo warfare, even against so n!&Ttl.'S6 and treacherous an enemy as the Modoc. There are officers of the army however who think it will be impossible im-possible to net the Indiana out of the lava beds in any othor way. |
