What Uncle Sam's Soldiers Have Done in the Fast Yeari Men. 1,213 6,943 2,473 10,721 595 2,003 I/Ieutenanfr-Generai Sheridan has submit, ted to tho Secretary of Wa r his annual re- port showing the operations of the military forces dnriag the past year. From the re- port it a pi ears that at tho date of the last re- turns the army of the United States con- sisted of 2,103 officers and 33,918 men, dis- tributed as follows: Officers. General 10 General staff 673 Ten regiments of cavalry... 411 Five regiments of artillery. 273 Twenty-five regiments of inmntry 836 Indian scouts. — Detachments, recruiting parties, etc — , __ The adjustment made with the Cheyeaoes and Arapahoes by the President, through the medium of the Lieutenant General, in July, 1885, has allayed all irritation in the Indian Territory, but the troops i n that region have been kept constantly employed in the prevention of unlaw- ful settlements in the Oklahoma country, and its invasion by herds of cattle. Unless some legislation is had which specially fixss the statns of the Oklahoma lands he fears its many advantages in the way of beautiful landscapes and fertile soil will prove a con- tinual temptation to an adventurous popu- lation near its border, which in a short period could make it a prosperous State. Under the head of the Division of the Pa- cific, after alluding to the preservation of peace by the prompt arrival of troops at points where anti-Chinese riots were threat- ened, Lieutenant-General Sheridan turns his attention to the campaign against Geronimo. He states that it was his idea to remove to Florida the Indians held as prisoners by Gen- eral Crook last November; but that he de- ferred such action upon the recommendations of General Crook and Captain Crawford. The report then relates in detail the circum- stances attending the qualified surrender of Geronimo to General Crook upon terms which were not approved by the President, and the subsequent escape of the chief with twenty warriors and thirteen women. The Lieutenant-General says: \General Miles went to work with com- mendable zeal. l His troops followed Up the) hostiles with vigorous energy, broke up their camps by attack four or five times and gave them ho rest until they surrendered,, on Sep- tember • 4, under circumstances and ~ conditions, however, that should not in my judgment permit their be- ing turned over to the civil authorities for punishment, as was intended by the Presi- dent. 0 n September b' they were started by General Miles to Fort Marion, Fla., without authority, but at a later date stopped at San Antonio until their final disposition could ba decided upen.\ b .The report states that the arrest of the Chiricahua Indians and their removal to Florida had been ordered by the President, notwithstanding the objections of General Miles that it might be charged that the Gov- ernment had taken advantage of the In- d'tns, and that such action would necessitate a war of extermination against the hostiles then in Old Mexico. . The report states that the army generally is in a very healthy and gratifying condition and the discipline excellent. But few officers have been tried by courts-martial during the year, and the opinion is expressed that there has not been a period in twenty-five years when so little necessity has existed for the correction of those holding commissions. I t is suggested that Congress open the retired list to the extent of embracing officers now excluded from it for want of vacancies. FEDERAL REVENUES.
