IiOns by the Apache Indians.
SAN FRANCIsCo, May 16.-Late Mexican
advices says a vigorous campaignis being carried
on by the citizens against the robbers and KID
nappers in the States of Jalisco and Michoacan.
Numerous engagements have taken place, in
which the robbers were worsted, and had many
killed. The revolution in Sinaloa is assuming n
serious aspect. Palacio had captured the town
of Elferete, and established his headquarters
there. The Government troops offered but
slight resistance. Three hundred troops from
Sonora joined Palacio at Elferete. The Apache
Indians who were driven from Arizona are max
ing terrible inroads in Sonora, devastating the
whole frontier. Reports from Chihuahua and
Neuova Leon are equally alarming in regard to
Indian depredatons. 1t is estimated that these
frontier States have already lost One-third of
heirpopulation by the incursions of the savascs
and unless the matter is seriously attended to
will soon be depopulated.
