annual report the indians are well mounted hav ing several ponies to each man being well armed and abundantly supplied with ammunition being trained from childhood they are excellent horsemen and expert marksmen equal in these respects to the best regular troops in tile the world it is manifestly impossible to permanently overcome and hold in subjection such bodies bodie of savages by the show of any force far i inferior to thern them in numbers if information of the threatened outbreak j of any tribe is obtained in time it may be prevented b by the rapid concentration of troops ty uy rail this has been done in several instances as in that of the last summer but bat if it two or three tribes become disaffected at the same time arany or any tribe takes ad vantage of the temporary absence of the troops as they frequently do to td manifest manliest their latent hostility it may be impossible to prevent a general up rising which must result in a vast de st ruction of life and property considerable progress has doubtless been madd mada toward the civilization of some of the tribes but their savage nature has his not yet e 1 been greatly changed and their T love iove 0 1 e of war has not diminished while the temptation to engage in hostilities and opportunities to 0 o do injury have been vastly increased the reserva eions are now surrounded by great herds of horses and cattle and by vast fields of wheat and corn and by thou bands sanci of defenseless settlers when bhea the lapse of a few years has dulled the recollections of past punishment only a slight provocation will be needed to induce the tile young warriors to yield to such a tempting opportunity tunit to satiate yand their native thirst tor for blood bloo and alun i der and their brutal lust the great majority of the frontier population are strangers to the earlier history of the indian country they have settled there since the indians were located upon the reservations relying upon the government for protection they are apparently of any dan eer while in simple truth they are ier fer liable ae at any moment to experience all the horrors of savage warfare the number of indians in this division reported by the interior department are about of these about is rated as peaceable the re being more or less uncivilized and war wan warlike liae the warriors number at least equal to the entire united states army or two thirds more than the whole number of troops serving in this division the question to be now considered is whether the vast iR increase crease of interest of life and property pio perty involved does not now demand that such military measures be adopted d as will surely prevent in the future any wholesale destruction str st of life and property by the uncivilized tribes of the country I 1 beg leave to submit that in a country of of people men would be a small army to be retained with sole reference to possible ba e foreign wars but when a country has constant daily use for nine tenths of that force to protect its iti citizen stend stand their property and to prevent destruction by ir savage tribes in their midst it is extremely tr unwise to limit the army to its present strength brigadier general crook commanding in the tide department of arizona in his annual anual report describes at consider the circumstances which attended the outbreak of the cherica hua hus geronimo mancus Mang usand and other chiefs last list spring and declares substantially that the want of harmony between the agents of the apartment part ment and the military makes males such outbreaks possible he says that upon returning holthe department of ari zona in la 1882 he found the apaches hud v died about the agency there was no land for them to cultivate the indians complained of this and agent wll wil cox acknowledged the justice of the complaint buc said he was acting in strict compliance compliant comp ilane liane e with his orders in keeping them there he said however that if general crook would take the whole responsibility of their management be he wilcox would make no objection to their removal to other localities cali call ties within the reservation the ChIri chirl cahuas were and it was agreed on cm all hands that it was best to bring in all that could not be killed the w whole hale matter writes general crook was fully understood before I 1 started for the sierra madra imagine my surprise when I 1 re reached a ched the border on my return from the siera madra with a portion of the as captives to learn that the agent had telegraphed to washington protesting against their being brought on the reservation soon afterwards general crook was ordered to washington for consultation and in his presence after full discussion a memorandum was signed by the secretary of war and interior bychich by which the police control of the entire reservation was vested in the war department the scope of this control he says was thoroughly discussed and as thoroughly understood not only by myself but bv by other persons person present P viz toe the secretary of war the secretary of the interior and the commissioner of indian affairs the idea thattie that the authority which I 1 had already already I 1 exercised on the reservation simply simp aa as I 1 hf nt was to have been duties and powers were by agreement expressly recognized allt atit and made ot of record and were exercised and enforced without any objection for nearly two years upon this express understanding I 1 made illy quy self responsible for the peace and the indians indiana for more than two years there was not a depredation re datlo dation by the apaches it was wis the first time in the memory of awhile a white man that as iong long ion lon as an interval of peace bace had been enjoyed in arizona and pew kew new hiex Alex mexico ica lea As I 1 I 1 have said before up tip to this time the indian department seemed only too willing to nave have me manage the entire indian business giving me the most hearty co opera tion and I 1 certainly could not conceive that with the added clang danger er of tile the Chiri cahuas there would be any aby less degree of operation cooperation co months afterwards it appears that on the very day the above agreement was entered into the secretary secreta of the interior wrote agent wilcox wilco arx in terms which must have convinced him that neither he the commissioner of indian affairs was in accord with mv views lews as to indian management and at the saine same time saying the agreement was a makeshift make shift to relieve them from responsibility and transfer it to my shoulders also hinting that the expression of views adverse to my ray method of settlement would be agreeable to the department the result was inevitable and on the of Septem september bl er I 1 t find that agent wilcox is I 1 complaining to the interior department a with reference to the agreement that it deprived dc him of his power of government of the indians and left little to sustain his authority and recommending its termination I 1 have no knowledge of the contents of the confidential communications between the indian department and its agents but as a sequel early in december fol foi following lowling in less thau than I 1 15 months the commiss commissioner loner ioner of indian affairs in a letter to the secretary of the interior takes the ground that the agreement was with the understanding that the military meers officers off omm were to have the supervision of the police regulations on the reservation under the direction and with the approval of the indian agent with this action of the tbt interior department officials at washl ington it is not to be wondered at that the dangers of divided control and uhe the want of co cooperation operation 0 aeration should become manifest in december 1884 agent wilcox was relieved and ford was appointed in misplace his place the new agent worked in but by the middle middie of january he took another course gen crook reported the matter and asked that thas his lils administration be sustained or he relieved of the responsibility ty lie he was instructed ted pending a conference between the two departments at washington not to interfere wita the farming operations of the indians who are not considered as prisoners and informed that the lie lle qu question esloa relieving him must in the public t be beheld held heid abeyance foi for the tho prent general crook wrote the adjutant general a letter the concluding para fara graphs of
