General Crooks Campaign against the
Apaches in Arizona.

From the y. Y. Evening Post.
CAMP BEALs SPRINGS, ARIZONA,
September 2S, lS72.-EaTly this week a
band of Apache-Mojaves came to a
small band Of Hualfais, and their chief
tains had "big talkum, - the purpcrt Of
which was this: The Apache-Mojaves
wished to know what was 10 be the
Huslifai policy; whether they were
good friends TO them OF 70 General Crook
and his soldiers. The Hualfai chieftain
declared his alliance to General Crook,
which the Apache Mojave chief knew
to be equivalent to declaring war against
them, whereupOn the two chiefs fought
at once, the Hualfai killing the Apache
Mojave and securing his scalp. This
decided the victory for the time, the
Apache-Moiaves fleeiDg when their
ehiefwas killed. Butthe Hualfai band,
being on the outskirts of their country,
remote from the rest Of the tribe, and
about fifty miles from this post, did not
think Il safe to remain, as the Apache
Moiaves would probably return with a
large force. So they started at once for
this post. A part Of them, including the
victorious chief with his scalp trophy.
arrived yesterday. The Hualfais are
Jubilant over the trophy, it having been
long time since they have had the
pleasure Of taking a scalp.
A report has just come in that party
Of Apache Yumas had entered camp at
Date Creek, desiring to be al peace with
the whites and live on the reservation;
also, 70 60 on the war-path with Cen
eral Crook against the Apaehes The.
General has taken them to Fort Whip

armed, and probably in the field. This
move on the part OF the friendly Indians
will be s severe blow 10 the hostile
Apache tribes. They did not fear our
soldiers, never having been whipped by
them, but they know our Indian allies
can and will fight in their own way
They viii soon feel that they are ''fght-
ing for a lost cause There will proba-
bly, soon be large force Of Indians in

a small band Of PimRs and MaricOpas
came into Fort Whipple about three
weeks ago, and We're sent out with a de-
tachment OF cavalry In quest of Apaches

These are the Apaehes who were 50 anx-
ious 70 have a treaty Of peace formed be-
tween themselves and these Indians, who
have for long time been friendly 70 the
whites, and the treaty was made at
Camp Grant, by General Howard, last
spring. The grass has scarcely grown
over the burial stone by which they
swore 70 keep inviolable the treaty 80
long as the stone should last, but this
treaty has been broken. This looks as
though Apache treaties Of peace mean
privileges 10 steal. All attempts thus
far 20 to prove that il is useless 70 make
treaties with Apache Indians without
irst making them feel that they are in
our power. ft does not follow that
