bherman a letter from the secretary of the interior gerior sharply replying to certain statements made by general sheri dan in the batters lat annual report secretary schurz schutz says these statements aa as far as they reflect upon the conduct conductor of the indian service are of a sweeping and bome what vague nature but it must be assumed that general sheridan would not have made them and permitted them to become public had he not in hh his possession specific information concerning the certain agencies and the certain branches odthe of the indian service to which these statements may ba be individually dividu alJy applied general sheri Sherl sheridan dhus ahns in his official document gives it aa his opinion that with claa 1 amounts appropriated by congress ought to be sufficient it if practically applied to the exact purposes specified but that the reports of the department commanders com eom mandera would indicate a diff different varent larent result except in tue cw cae e of the red bed cloud and spotted tail bands of sioux he would certainly not have i expressed such an opinion without t being acquainted acquaint edy eds in detail detal with the appropriations made by congress congressi and aud the specific purposes for which they were intended it is aiso alao to be supposed that before making the sweeping charges above quoted he was cognizant of the specific cases in la which those appropriations were not either applied at all or diverted from the purpose intended by congress you will greatly oblige me by r requesting e gen sheridan to communicate such facts aa as may be in his possession giving the names of the agents dater dates and other circumstances which warrant the charges and includes all the indian agencies in the military division of the missouri except those of the red cloud and spotted tail sioux he asks specific information on th the 8 subject in view of the fact that certain military officers seem of late to have fallen into the habit of indulging dul ging officially and probably in general generals in reflections on the indian service without taking the trouble of substantiating with such statements in detail as would facilitate the discovery and correction of abuses I 1 do not deprecate criticism at all I 1 rather invite it but when it is 11 offic officially lally put forth there I 1 ii it seems to me a certain fairness due from one branch of public ber eer 1 vice to another I 1 should for instance not deem any officer of this department justified in blaming in general terms the army for its failure to intercept the ennes on their march of several hundred miles through kaml kamm and nebraska and across the union pacific railroad without being boing able to point out certain instances of mismanagement or neglect if such instances ipes had come COMO to the knowledge of this department which they have noti nota should have consi considered dered derea it due duo to the army that they be specifically ascertained and stated before indulging in general arraignment general sheri Sherl sheridan dans intimation that the and spotted drall tail sioux were allowed to select their present locations owing to a alloys bys systematic working up of the case bj by traders and contractors la Is also made the subject of emphatic comment by secretary schurz schutz he stales elates that hla hia policy polley was adopted by department tha the on the earnest advice of tho the distinguished indian fighter and manager managers gen crook who as a result of his hia iong long experience with the sioux opposed any policy that would force the sioux against their unanimous mined mind protest to stay on the missouri river biver as seriously endangering our peaceful relations with those thosa powerful tribes and the secretary adds that so far at least their loyal conduct seems to have justified the course adopted secretary schurz challenges general sheridan to produce evidence in support of his imputations and meanwhile remarks that it would not have been asking too much of him to inform himself a little bet ter of the circumstances before publishing his bis assertion in an official document the Se secretary creary also makes the following comment upon the remark of gen gibbon there is an entire absence of responsibility in indian service if general gibbon when writing his repert report was cognizant of specific cases of wrongdoing wrong doing he would have obliged the department by reporting them and if it after such report charges thus made had bad not been inquired into and the guilty persons held to their proper responsibility the sweeping statements contained in his report would have been adopted as justified if be he will communicate buch such specific information now he will find there is no such lack of responsibility as he alle nile allees alleges es beveral several employed emp loyes ln in the indian service who are now under criminal
