“— 4 THE BLACK HILLS. An Interviow with General Custer, the Famous Indian Conqueror. ieee THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE COUNTRY SON we Details of the Preparation for the Mareh "gm the Black Hills. THE PRESIDENT’S INDIAN POLICY Bet Bail sta fhe Big Horn Country More Desir- able than the Black Hills. ‘A representative of the Hegatp called on Gen- erai Caster, at tue Filth Avenue Hotel, last even- ing, \or facts concerning the Black Hulls and his proposed expedition thither. Tue famous Indian conqueror was attired in evening dress, with arpse Dilooming on the Japel of bis coat. He is tail, lithe, well 1ormed, with kolt, light hair, a oloude mustache and @ smooth face, A person unacquainted with him would duutle suspect that he ty the terror of the biood- vhirsty Sloux, His keen, biue eyes look straight iuto the eyes of the listener, and bis courteous and sincere Manner pars one at ease on frst en- Yering the room. When animated his eyes fash and his nerves seem toucved with fire. The result of tue interview with the distin- wuisbed Genera! is given in ‘ull, and it contains particulars about the indians, taeir management And many interesting fucts coucerving the Black Huls and what mysterious region of the Wind River known as the Big Horn country. The inter- view opened with a lew remarks touching the expedition wn ch he ts to make tus summer. General Custen—Ine river expedition up the Yellowstone under the command of General For- sythe and Cyionel Grant is to cetermine bow far navigation is practicable during the most tavor- able seasous of the year, aud to discover the vest location for a post somewhere at the head of navigation, If tue mission ts success{ui the steamer will return at once, and then forces— part of my commaud—are to proceed trom Fort Lincolo across tue country in a southwestern di- rection to the highest point reached by this steamer, where we expect to obtain supplies. Since General Sherman's letwr on this suoject Was written slight modifications have been sug- wested und a chnage in tue movements of the troupe will probably be made. The reuson for tuis phanue is the rush of miners to the Black Hills. It is expected tnat tne troops ordered tere will not be sumicient to clear the reservation, and my men Will make ic apart of tneir business to ex- clude all trespassers, und, 1! necessury, to leave a force in the interior of tne Hilly to waten the gaps. Phe iormation Oi the countsy 1s such that when the reservation is once freed irom tue wattes & small force, judiciously selectea aud located, wili be snficien', a% the pisses or gaps are the ouly entrances to that region. RePORTER—What policy does the government purpose regarding the eXpected diMiculties in the Black His ¢ ‘ TUE INDIAN POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT. Genera: Cosrak—uere is no doubt about its being the determination of the administration to maintain tue title of the Indians to that country. Buc there is notaing ln the treaty to prevent miners aod Otners irom guing to the western portion \tbey care fo risk losing ‘heir scalps. Tne west- °rn DOUnuATY line, the 104.h meridian, of the reser- tien rus thioggh the Biack Hills. It is only the country lying east of that meridian that tne Teaty secures to the Indiaos, The Big Horn country is not a pat of the reservation. REPORTER-—Is 1b Sule \o enter Lue country lying immediaiely west of the Black Hills? General Ccsren—It is somewhat dangerous, The Indians have rigot to at; it 1s not re- served to them, our ‘ney have the privilege of going tnere to nunt at their pleasure. REPORTER—What time do sou expect to start ‘with your expea-tio.¥ Generai Craren— ne organization of the ex- pedition has veen delayed, as some of the truops 10 cOmpuse it were expected trom Louisiana, They are tue same tuat were with me im tne Black Hills bewre. This -iilgive some :dea of Bow our tte army bas to be transported (rou one part of the country \o another. As the troops go tw Sioux vity by rail the jourgey wil not be very long, per- baps @ wees. Ihey beyan leaving New Urieans last Monday. From Sivax City ihey will march to Cheyeune Ageucy, Woere tae expedition will eventoully be orgauizea; and here toey will unite wWita the troops that march down with me from Fort Lincoln, whien is near Bismarck. This tneyenne Agency midway between Sioux City gud Fort Liscuis, acd it is the nearest polat to the Black Hils that can be reached oy steamer or rail. Reroxren—How far is Cheyenne Agency irom Sioux City? General CUSTER=some 260 wiles, which would Make the distance to Fort Lincoia more toan 500 miles, ‘ Rzporter—Can you give deflaite about ol your departure? Geueral CUsTER—Ine date bus not been Axed owing to the Causes just meationed, But there is still more imperauve reasou—tbe condition of information rivers aud ther banks, Tne sou im the vaileys neat water ure? is adove and alkali, wud When soaked with the waters of the rivers a meiiime stows it is im- possibile to move wagons or even cavairy uver it.

HOW TUE OFFICERS PEEL ABOUT THE INDIANS, ‘tne HeRaLp fas a wide circulation, aud 1 wil repeat baat it determination of the govera- ment and of every officer connected wit) this ser vice 1: ihe West to lavor faithfully in protesting the Indians in their uudouried right, at present, to that portion of the Bl ck Hills ieluded in (he treaty. I kuow tuat some of the— nd parricu- lariy some of the prominent—otiicers are stronciy in faver of throwing open tue country to te set- tlers and of procuring tbe cancellation o! (he Indian title. Yet so ong as the tiie resis 1b “he Indian, as it does now, they will use every effort to prevent trespassers irom interiering with taeir proper'y. I know that General Sheridan person ally favors the opening of the Black Mulls when it Cal be dove legally. But General Terry, who 1s the department commander, 14 Opposed il, and be bases his arguments on ver conscientious grounds. He was men ber of the commission which was forged some years ao, compo-ed of members oF doin branebes uf Congress, a few prominent citize: s and three of the geueral oficers of the army. Me being @ part of uat treaty, he ts tamiltar with the Teusons which gove ued e eoIMssion ib setting aside the territory for whe use of the Indian He thinks that now it Would be 4 Oreacn Of good faith On tie part or the government to induce or make them move from this reservation. He is even opposed 10 Duying It unless the Indians voluntarily come furward and oifer to sell it a lurther reason Which he gives is that the present policy of the government Is to induce them to sup- port themselves and engage in tillioe the so The reservations located on the Mise souri River are uniayorable for agricui- ture. One year the drought ruins the crops and the next the gra-ssoppers cevour them, So thal even Sk Led Wuite iabor would be Giscouraged. But the Biack Hills, so Jar as we know, aré subject to neither droughts, floods bur grasshoppers, aud if the purposed experiment ts ever made among the indians it must be dune by placing them where taey cao have the advan- tages of $0 and climate and ofber natural me: ol making # livelihood, and pot by purung them on ground Where no White farmer would stay. Gen ral Yerry is one of the must couscieutious men Lever knew, aud he is a man who has made the Indiap question @ special study.
