CHICAGO, May "a. "A Washington
special says government has no official
information concerning the engagement,
between Col. McKensie and the Lipof
and Kikapoo Indians, on the Mexican
border, except a brief dispatch FROM
Gen. Sheridan, received today. In this

many in official circles here that til.
Mexican government has little grounu
