THE CHOLERA AT CUMBERLArD.-The Cum
berand Journal says that up to Friday, there
had been thirty nine deaths in that place, which
not denied to have been occasoned by cholera, and
ten about which some doubt has been entertained
The Journal says:
"The present visitation of cholera il the first that
has bcallen the town OF Cumberland. IT eleva
ted position among the mountains has heretofore
qured for it the character of unsurpassed hca ness
While other towns both the east and west, have
been scourged by cholera and other disease we have
heretofore escaped with entire IMMUNITY. The Causes
that have produced the cholera here this seaso
most lpable and manifest. The recent food, with
the sudden change o! temperature, completed what
local filth had been silently supernducing during
| long Continuance OF excessive warm weather. Our
people, oyer-sanguine IN consequence OF past imm,in
", were taken by surprise, aud while many fled in
disav others Welded to the disease from sheer alarm
The causes will never exist again, If any thing
is to be learned from experience"
TIE APACHE ISDIANs.-From private letter
received by officer Of the army, dated Fort Fill
more, New Mexico, Jolly 21st, 1888, we make the
following extracts, which give few additional par
culars relative the late airay Ell Paso the
duct Of the MeXicans IN that region, and the Apache
Indians. As it appears by these extracts, Mexico
will not be the only entitled to claim indemnity
A. IT. n
soon, it though should include these two
thousand head of cattle Ii we have to pay for the
robberies Of Indians, certainly ought to make
the Mexicans pay for their plumber If they
don't won't those fourteen hundred Apaches after
about two weeks stoppage Of rationF, would very
likely take it Of them with interest.I Baltimore
Times.
An unpleasant affair occurred at Ell Paso during
the last week. A Mr.. Magee arrived at point near
Ell Paso from Texas, with about 500 head Of cattle
on his way to California. As usual the Mexicans in
or about FL Paso stole many Of his cattle He went
in search found some OF his with herd Of Mexican
cattle in the lower part Of Ell aso lie took his
own and all that he found with them, and informed
the owner Of the Mexican cattle that he would deliver
up his on having his own restored. Not receiving a
satisfactory reply, he again crossed the river to make
further Search and was taken prisoner and confined
in JAIL The Mexican authorities finally agreed to
release him on his paving fine Of 8 100, which b.
the advice Of young American lawyer, named Hen
dy, he declined TO do. Mr.. llendy at visited
several parties OF California emierants and succeeded
IN forming party OF 35 or 40 well armed men, Goi
the purpose Of rescuing Mr.. Magee. They crossed
the river at night, and they approached the jai
fired upon by the Mexican soldiers. Hend, was
killed another American mortality and several other.
slightly wounded. The American party at once ig
nobly fied leaving the body Of Hendy where he fell
Magee still IN Iai, where the Mexican authorities
he remain until they receive inst uction
from chihuahua. How the affair will terminate il
vet to he
II is well known fact that the Mexicans in anc
about FL Paso have within the past three years sioer
at least 1000 head of cattle from the California emf
grants, aud the Mexican authorities have done nothing
to prevent this wholesale robbery.
There about 800 Apache Indians in and
about Fort Webster. They receiving ration.
from the Indian Agent, and have quite large field
OF about six miles above the post. So long as
they receive rations, shall not be troubled by them
but regret TO say that the Indian Agent has received
orders not to ration them after this mouth.
