TEE PANAMA CANAU
It is evidently the purposo of the ad¬
ministration to enforce the Monroo doe-
trine in relation to this great improve¬
ment, not for the purposo of preventing
the construction of the canal, but to
prevent the continent being brought into
any European entanglements. It would
never do for thiH countryto admit that
European powers have the .right lo-
guarantee neutrality on this sido of tho
globe. The United Statei can give suf¬
ficient guarantees to establish the neu¬
trality of that canaL As well might tho
United States assume to guarantee the
neutrality of the Suez canal as for the
various European powers to assume to
protect tho Panama canal. The people
of this country trill justify and support
the administration in enforcing its views
upon this question.
A Washington dispatch says that the
President has sent to the Senate the re-
l.n Mc-n1nflnn aF fWrtliar 1 -U 1 1 111-
quiring what steps tho government had
taken to protect the rights of the United
States in the Panama canal. Secretary
Blaine, in his communication to the
President, reports that, having learned
since the adjournment of Congress of
tho rejection by Colombia of the proto¬
col negotiattd by tho representative of
the United States, and being informed
by the Minister of tho United States in
Colombia that the government of Co¬
lombia, by its public acts, was avowing
its desire to terminate the treaty of 1S16
and appeal to the powers of Europe for
a joint guaranty of the neutrality of tho
Isthmus and the sovereignty of Colom¬
bia, tho department addressed a letter
of rinstmctions to the United States
Minister at London, and an identical
note was sent to each American Minister
in Europe. Secretary Blaine, in his loi¬
ter of instructions, says: "It has fallen
under the observation of the President,
through the current statements of tho
European press and the other usual
channels of communication . that the
great powers of Europe may tasibly bo
considering the subject of j -.tly guar¬
anteeing the neutrality of tho inter-
oceanic canal now projected across the
Isthmus of Panama. Tho United States
recognizes that a proper guaranty of
neutrality is essential to the construc¬
tion and successful operation of any
highway across the Isthmus of Panama.
More than a third of a century ago this
gOEifmment took every step that is
deemed requisite in the premises. The
necessity was foreseen and abundantly
provided for long in advance of any pos¬
sible call for the actual exercisa of
power."
In 1810 the memorable and important
treaty was negotiated and signed be¬
tween the United States and New Gran¬
ada, now the United States of Columbia.
By the forty-fifth article of that treaty,
in exchange for certain concessions
made to the United States, we guaran¬
teed " positively and efficaciously to pro¬
tect the neutrality of the Isthmus of a jy
inter-oceanic communication that might
be constructed upon or over it, for the.
maintenance of free transit from sea to
sea," and we also guaranteed the rights
of sovereignty and property in the
United States of Columbia over the ter¬
ritory of the Isthmus, as included within
tho bordors of the State of Tanama. In
the judgment of the President this
gnarantv does not require re-enforce¬
ment or accession, or assent from any
other power. In more than one instance
this government has been called upon
to vindicate the neutrality thus guaran
teed, and there is no contingency now
foreseen or apprehended in which ihe
vindication would not bo within the
power of this nation. If tho foreshait
owed action of European powers gltonld
assume tangible shape, it would le well
for you to bring to the notice of Lord
Granville the provisional the treaty of
181C, and especialjvitS thirty-fifth arti
cle, and tSTtimato to 1dm that any
lUUtCUiQUl 111 1U15 VI iJU jij'H .u .
ing the guaranty contained therein
would necessarily be regarded by this
government as an uncalled-for intrusion
into the field where the local and gen¬
eral interests of the United States of
America must bo considered before
those of any other power.
-viiohei-jiexek-Ui jiACYEAQn evi¬
dently is not certain that the Star Route
cases will be proiecuted with great dis¬
patch, although he savs it will not be for
want of rascality. He apprehends tliat
the Grand Jury, as in the case of Captain
Howgate, will demand to hear all the
testimony, as though it was trying the
case. Tho telegraph reports MacVeagh
as faying, in relation to these cases, that
there would be evidence enough to send
a dozen men to the penitentiary, but it
will nevertheless require the whole moral
force of the administration to be thrown
in favor of conviction, if it was expected
to- overcome the influences brought to
bear by the accused to secure acquittal.
Merely left to take their course, if tho
administration failed to take an interest
and stood neutral, the chances are in
favor of a failure of justice. The ac¬
cused have plenty of money and able
counsel, social and political backing, and
with two exceptions the entire newspa¬
per pressof tho District actively creating
sympathy for them. That juries in the
District nre susceptible to suspicion of
leniency towards parties accused of
frauds on tho Government the slowness
of the present Grand Jury to act in the
Howgate indictment in a case in point.
A true bill was found only after eight
days of investigation, when the evidence
of Lieutenant Cazaire, given on the first
day, backed as it was by records and
vouchers, ought to have been sufficient '
in itself. The Grand Jury insisted on
hearing evidence, as if Howgate was on
trial before them. Should the same
bo pnreued in the Star Route cases, and
they will come before the same men, it
will take three months to get a true bill
from them.
Elsewheue we publish a statement of
the private soldiers' side of the late cam¬
paign. The Citizen in perfectly willing
to let the public have all the light pos-
sib'e. AVc never attempt to make the
nowo columns of our paper conform to
our private views, but on the other hand'
we do try to make our views, as they ap¬
pear editorially, conform to tho facts.
There is the only theory we have in con¬
ducting a neVspaper, and that is that
an ounce of fact is worth a pound of
opinion. We have never held the rank
and file of the army in this Territory as
responsible for the miserable fiasco we
have witnessed. They have simply
obeyed the orders of their superiors, and
it is the shoulder straps that are reipon-
sible for the failure. In fact we are
credibly informed of an instance where
tho soldiers desired to follow a baud of
Indians who were in plain sight
out on the open plain driving
off stock, but the officer refused
to permit it Ho said he must
report to VTillcox first Such red tape
stupidity will bring disgrace upon the
bravest arm that ever took the field.
Our soldier friends hkip the hard parts
of the story. They don't say anything
about the long delay at Dragoon Sum¬
mit which permitted the red devils to
effect their escape, and sundry other oc¬
currences which in themselves consti¬
tute monumental evidences of incapaci¬
ty-. However, we have no hard words
for the boys who form the rank and file
of the army. They are necessarily the
slaves of a lot of petty tyrants, who
would like to lord it over civilians as
well, if they could. They are entitled to
sympathy.
THE DIFFICULTY WITH THE PIMA INDIANS.
Tho Phenix Herald, after raving and
tearing its hair and informing the pub¬
lic that its personal relations with the
authorities at tho Agency nr' such that
it would have had the first information
of any difficulty, and stating bat there
was no trouble, goes on am .rives the
following account of the mat .-:
The difficulty seems to date from the
Indian Festival held at tho Ranchcries,
about six miles from Tcmpe, early last
week. The dances, races, etc., were held
Till. Mil, lUUHiJlUU Ul . 1 ill IlillXU lf
and were attended by many whit's, who
unite in the declaration that everything
was orderly, and not one Indian was un¬
der the intlnence of liquor during tho
lestivaL Alio Agent visited the tribes
during the Foast, and on a certain occa¬
sion d;-.ecled some of the leaders to call
the tribes together ae he wished to talk
to them. The Indians refused to inter¬
rupt their games, etc., for this purpose,
and the Agent left, much annoyed. There
had been a growing discontent he to va¬
rious arbitrary measures adopted by tho
Agent, who seems to make the mistake
of trying to mako the Indians too good,
too quickly. His position is correct in
the main, though prudence mar dictate
6omewhat slow haste. Thus, the Indiana
are. dissatisfied because he refuses to al¬
low them to paint their faces, arrests In¬
dians without notifying tho Captains of
the bands, insists that their marriages
be contracted at the Agency and accord
ing to Christian rights, whilo they ptefer
tlieir old customs, etc I lie most serious
item, however, is said to be in the grow¬
ing habits of jolygamy among the In¬
dians. They have observed the customs
of their Mormon neighbors, and haTe
taken kindly to the example shown. In¬
deed it is said that much proselytism
nas been attempted by the Mormons,
and the Agent, determined to break up
the growing custom, has imprisoned
several bucks who paraded two wives.
These and similar causes liavj led to
somo conflict between the Agent and the
various bands. The Captains and many
of the bucks left on last Snndav evening
for the Agency, merely to talk these
matters over with tho Agent, and secure
for themselves more liberty of action.
Pkesident Airmen has nominated
Mahone's man for postmaster at Lynch¬
burg, Virginia. Mahone points to this
as an indication that he has tho support
of the administration. Probably Ar¬
thur thinks anything that promises to
break the solid Bourbon control of the
South should be fostored.
The President has reappointed Post¬
master General James, whose form of
office expired by law on the 19th instant
"It is announced that the President
proposes to continue the crusade against
polygamy, inaugurated by Garfield.
California papers state that Hon.
Geo. W. Tyler, of Alameda, is candidate
for Governor of Arizona.
Trn: Tombstone Epitaph tortures our
criticizing the course of that paper in
relation to the question of the removal
of the Apaches, into a change of views
touching the appointment of John I'7
Chun, the editor of the Epitaph, as In¬
dian Agent at San Carlos, vice Tiffany.
The CrnznN lias not changed its views
on that question in the least, but the
would-be Indian Agent must not expect
that ho can tread on everybody's toes
nnd attribute mercenary motives to
large and important community like
Tucson, just simply to create an impres-
rion that he knows it all and that others
arc a set of ignoramuses, without hear¬
ing from it The CrrizEX supports John
P. Clam for tho position of Indian Agent
at San Carlos, even though his paper
does not seem to know how to treat his
friends and supporters with becoming
courtesy.
Tiik San Francisco Chronicle has been
engaged in a holy crusade against
number of evils and abuses existing in
King Kalakaua's Kingdom. The Chron
icle presents a very uninviting picture
and its frankness has rather marred
the pleasure of the King's visit to this
country. The King says the statements
of the Chronicle are not true, but the
Chronicle reinforces its charges by quo¬
ting from the laws of the realm. There
is evidently room for reform.
TuEitn must bo some immense frauds
practiced either in or on the Pension
Bureau. It is now sixteen years since
the war closed, and yet Commissioner
of Pensions Dudley says that the next
fiscal year the pension payments are
likely to reach S70,000,(00, and the defi
cioncy this year will be $20,000,000, and
everybody is astounded at the growth of
the claims.
Bismarck is bound to stop emigration.

Grant and Hayes to Methodist services,
while Garfield attended the Church of
the Disciples. Mr. Arthur will occupy

THE CIKCAOO TOTES' WAR COF.RESPOHDENT
ms THIS TO SAT.
Mr. Fincrty, of tho Chicago Times,
who accompanied the troops to the front
in this campaign and who has been on
campaigns with Gen. Crook, Gen. Mac-
Kenzio and other distinguished and suc¬
cessful Indian fighters, in a communica¬
tion to his paper gives somo opinions
which must be read with interest both
in military in(1 cJvJ1 circles in this Ter¬
ritory. Mr. Finnity is an old cam¬
paigner, is absolutely fearless in his
criticisms, and his opinions are based
upon his jiersonal observations and are
entitled to consideration. We reproduce
for the benefit of our readers the closing
of the correspondence:
44 One other point, and I drop the sub¬
ject I don't lelieve a brevet gained in
the civil war should entitle an officer
who has no knowledge of Indian affairs
and who has never distinguished him¬
self as an Indian campaigner, to override,
or command, in the field an officer who
knows Indian habits and who has proved
his ability to deal with tho savages in
their peculiar mode of warfare. There
is too much humbug alwut alleged
"rank," and too little common sense in
our army. Bank, like tactics, is excel¬
lent for dress parade, but not worth a
continental, with the usual reservations,
where real work is performed. I don't
know anything more
demoralizing to soldiers
And more paralyzing to military move¬
ments in the wilderness than a general
officer experienced only in grand war¬
fare With " J mbIlK,uo
staff The greatest curse that can befall
any officer of rank is to be completely "in
the hands of his stiff." He might just
as well, for all useful purposes, be in the
hands of the enemy. The general should
always run tho stair and not the staff the
general. It is demoralizing to see nn
aid playing general and tho latter filling
tho roll of highly ornamental sergeant
major. It is further, not inspiring to
observe another aid subjecting himself
to the pumping process, by a local news¬
paper interviewer, for the purpose of
explaining the mysteries tho wonderful
mysteries of this campaign, as conduct¬
ed bv the general under the direction of
the staff. I should not take the trouble
of noticing this politico-military pcrson-
ago if in au interview he did not person¬
ally mention the correspondent of the
Chicago Times in connection with su¬
perintendent Ward's officious interfer¬
ence with journalistic telegrams over
the military wire. In that interview, as
published in the Arizona Star, of Tuc¬
son, under date of October 7, Captain
Eagan is represented as using the fol¬
lowing language:
'Among the orders existing in this
telegraph department long prior to the
present Indian trouble, is one, tho lan¬
guage of which I cannot exactly recall,
but tho Bubstancc of which is that im¬
proper, scurrilous and ignorant criti¬
cisms of military movements, actions,
et, Hhall not be transmitted over its
wires. It was, doubtless under this or¬
der that the dispatch of the Chicago
Times correspondent (using my name)
was refused, etc
The language of the order, according
to my memory, says nothing of the
kind." It says that no criticism of tho
commanding'officer, or of any other offi¬
cer concerned in the campaign, shall be
allowed to go over the -wires. There¬
fore Captain Eagan was
GRATUITOUSLY IMPERTINENT,
As well as incorrect in connecting my
name with the langnage he chose to em¬
ploy. The superintendent cut off my"
dispatch because I stated truthfully that
people in Fort Thomas wanted to know
why two troops of the First Cavalry were
kept at Camp Grant, aud why three
companies of artillery intended to be
used as infantry, were still playing sol¬
dier in San Francisco harbor. These
troops were subsequently brought into
active service, showing the justice of the
question. They might as wli nave been
in earlier. Superintendent Ward is a
man of narrow nmjlerstandiug an cx-
cellf at" EubonHuato but an iron-lound
Ilussian as chief of u department I
don't think, however, that he would have
been allowed to follow out Ids un-Amer¬
ican programme if Gen. Crook or Gen.
MacKenzie had been in command of Ar¬
izona. He is one or the detailed officers
of the army that wonld be useful enough
with his troops, but who is utterly out
of place where he is. He ought to have
been lorn in St Petersburg. He might
cut some kind of a figure as an officer of
the Muscovite gendarmerie.
In reference to Capt. Eagan of whom
I never heard, although I am not " a
stranger in the army " outside the de¬
partment of Arizona I wish to say that
as I had the honor of accompanying
some of the most distinguished officers
of the American army on several Indian
campaigns, I can afford to treat his
strictures upon my conduct with con¬
tempt I do not fear that anything he
can say will in the least militate against
me with thorn, or with any person who
knows me. It is not my habit to indulge
in " scurrilitv." That is a favorite word
with persons who are most likely to be
scurrilous themselves. As for impro¬
priety " in my criticisms, I suppose that
that has to be gauged according to Capt
Eagan s idea of what is correct
rNSTlNTKD PROSE OR STTPID SILENCE.
In regard to " ignorance " of military
matters, I am told that ('apt. Eagan en¬
tered from civil we, and can n it, tnere-
fore, be looktfd uion as a competent
military authority according, at least
to West Point opinion. Perhaps let
me urge it in all modesty I, having
seen considerable Indian service, may
be auite as capable of forming a com¬
mon-sense, if not a technical, judgment
of a campaign as Capt. Eagan himself.
He must not expect all men to see
through his spectacles, and I woidd sug¬
gest that he does not show the best pos¬
sible taste iu dilating nimseii so mucii
in the newspapers, to the almost com¬
plete overshadowment of tho general,
who at ler-st oneht to command him. If
he has any military duties to attend to,
he should attend strictly to his business
and not nith into print m sucu a recK-
less fashion. It does not become army
officers to fimiro m newspaper wars.
They have even less glory to hope for

Indians, ti Inch means a great deal. This
country is not yet prepared to accept
editors who wear shoulder-knots and
carrv swords. If ever it should come to
that, good-bve to the republic! A sol¬
dier is a most useful and honorable per¬
son, as a rule, in his proper sphere, but
outside of it he is generally as danger¬
ous as dynamite.
This reminds me that Gen. MacKen¬
zie, as commander of the forces in the
field, is in his proper 6phere, but it
would be much better if the government
would form the Territories of Arizona
and New Mexico into one department
nnd place them under his command.

Steamboat Accident.
Eock Island, I1L, October 27. The
steamer Jennie Gilchrist left here this
evening with 13 passengers nnd 1G men
of the crew on board. After passing the
bridge about a mile, tho engineer dis¬
covered (hat the cam rod by which the
wheel reversed was broken. The ma¬
chinery stopped and the boat began to
drift helplessly down the current towards
the bridge. The- passengers and crew
were unexcrtedly notified of the accident
nnd great confusion and excitement fol¬
lowed, during which the pilot abandon¬
ed tne wiieel-nousc and attempted to
save himself. Every passengerwas wild
with terror aud perfectly helpless, and
the crew, with the exception of several
officers, were said to have been drunk.
In the meantime the steamer struck the
stone pier of the bridge Just as the
boiler head had been broken by the col¬
lision, great quantities of steam escaped,

refuge on a barge and were saved, The
alarm was quickly given and the steamer

encountered.
