INDIAN OUTBREAK IN ARIZONA.
The Star Of yesterday says: Commiss oner Cooley
has received communication from La Paz, Arizona
Territory dated April y, 1866, which the Supern-
tendent of Indian Affairs invites attention to his
previous report where he stated that he feared the
present difficulties there would only increase, and
result in open warfare between the whites and Chi
mehuavos. the Mojaves with their allies claim
and expect the protection of the whites. He now re-
ports that information had reached him the 1lth
of April that outbreak had taken place between
the whites and Bualapais the particulars of which
are substantially as follows:
A company of five men were out on prospecting
tour and had made their camp at place called the
Willows, the road from Fort Mojave to Prescott
about the 9th of April. While four absent
from camp, the indians, supposed to be Hualapais
the locality is in their country, killed the left
in camp and burned the cabin. When this became
known at Hardyville, settlement about miles
above Moaye party of armed citizens started out
and killed nine Indians among the number, the
Chief of the Hualapais, Wauba-Tonna and several
women and children.
The Superintendent thinks it probable now that
an alliance will be formed between the Hualapais
and ChimehuavOS against the whites If this prove
to lie the case he states that the whites will be in
dangerous situation. as very few troops are in that
and property the river to establish the indians
reservations, in order to accomplish which the
presence of troops will be absolutely necessary.
