to me for protection, and the day before I start
ed On this visit turned him over to an uncle
who recognized him.) I told Cachise that the
boy had been given to his uncle and had gone
back to his old home. He said he captured tho
his life; had raised him to an age that he was
now Of some service that he had escaped to
San Pedro, and the people there had secreted
him, and he did not think it WIS q friendly act
on their part that il or Captain Jetferds a hsa
about his value, but as q matter Of
principle 10 thought the people Of San Pedro
should pay him for the boy. and desired to know
if I could compel them to do so. told him that,
by the laws OF our country, the boy was entitled
to his freedom thatneither the President nor
nay one was allowed by our laws to hold staTcs.
and if ho knew Of any Indian that was then held
he was set free. Ho replied that he knew that
il the boy was an American he had no right to
hold hin, but he had captured him in another
country from another people, and he thought
that The Me1ieans only had right to Interfere;
I told him that We had q treaty by which We had
agreed to interfere, and then inquired OF him ii
he knew we had !. war some time ago among our
selves, and why ne fought with eaeh other. He
said he knew Of the war, but did not know the
people owned slaves and part did not; that
upon this question they became angry with each
other. and many men were killed that those op-
posed to holding slnves had conquered that
afterward laws wero made prohibiting any one
from holding as slave a negro, Indian, Mexi-
can, or any one else. He said he supposed it
was all right, and he would say no moro about it.
am advised by Ceptain Jeferd, that, when
those who yield allegiance to Cachiso are al
gathered together, they will number from 500
to 1000 OF all ages. In the terms OF peacs re-
Gently made, they have been permitted to retain
their property and arms. Those I saw are well
mounted, and generally have improved breech-
loading guns. They are under no control ex-
cept such voluntary obedience as they choose to
give to tho agent, and ho informs me- that, so
lar, all have complied With syery request but
they distinctly declared at the outset that they
would not placs themselves within the power Of
the military authorities Their fighting condi-
dition is undoubtedly better now than at any Pc
riod since they commenced the war. Probably
they number less. but they have been Injured to
such constant hardships that they are capable Of
any degree Of endurance. With improved arms
and their knowledge of the use Of them, my
Judgment is that they are more for
mldable ttan ever before. That he could re-
aist such superior forces as were brought against
him for !. long time, and protect his women and
children, is truly wonderful, and shows conclu-
eive1y that he is 9 superior man. It is true that
