time, and without delay.
On the Odd of December q massacre took
place by party of Apaches and Utah In
dams, about one hundred in number, at the
Pueblo of Arkansas. Fourteen men were
killed and two wounded, who were left for
dead, and three women and two children
were taken captive. Great excitement is
now prevailing in Santa Fe on account Of
the general warfare and hostilties Of the
Indians in the Territory. They swear ven
gemce against all Americans and Mexcans
On the 20th January, Captain Newell of
