DEP ART:iUENT OF THE INTERIOR, OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. Washington, D. C., :March 2, l876. SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith a claim of Jose 1\faria Gon-zales for $108, on account of a depredation alleged to have been com-mitted by Apache Indians, who deny all knowJedge of the matter. This claim is for the value of a horse, saddle, and bridle, which claimant avers were taken from him by the Indians on the lOth of · December, 1849, and that this occurred in the county of Locino, N. M., his place of residence at that time. The objections to favorable action upon this case are: First, the evidence of only one witness is presented to sustain the charge made; second, the papers were not made out and filed until about five years from date of depredation; and, third, the intercourse laws were not extended over New l\<Iexico until February 27, 1851. I therefore respectfully recommend that the claim be disallowed. Very respectfully, yo.nr obedient servant, The Bon. the SECRETARY OF 1'IIE INTERIOR. 0 J. Q. Sl\tliTH, Commissioner. 

Jose Maria Gonzales.
