 q large number of Tonto Apaches, from rhe Verde reservation, and the probabilities of their speedy return, and are glad to be able now to say that they did all return.
 Gen. Crook went to the Verde, on receiv- ing news of their exodus, and remained until the Indians came back, when he gave them ''big talk" The Indians said they left for fear the whites and their Indian allies were going to come on the reservation and kill them, and they got the information from a half-witted Indian named Chapo, who seems to have large capabilities for making mis- chief. Gen Crook told them he was ashamed of them, that after he had been fighting them till they were glad to surrender, he promised to feed and protect them on the reservation, and they came in, half starved and naked, and had stayed there and got clothes and food, and then when they were fat they went of again, that nobody wanted to fight them if they would be peaceable and behave themselves, that he had believed their promises and had told the white people they were going to be friendly and now they had began to act badly, and if they wanted to fight to go ahead and he would give them enough of it, but he wanted them to make up their minds to one thing or another and act like men, not like squaws. Shultzer Pan, , the chief who went out, replied that they were sorry and very much ashamed and would not be guilty of such conduct again admit ting that all the promises made by Gen. Crook to them had been kept, and they had r been we'll treated and had acted like child'en,
 but hereafter they would behave well, and a they did not want any more tigting at ll, 5 -Cke, who did not go out, talked in tie , same vein and appears to be thoroughly o tanned. This fellow whom the whites hae r. called "Old Del-Che," for some years pas, It is a young man, not over 8 years of age, b't is said to have most deyilish expression tf '- and his conversion is wholly the result d e fear, and his conviction that cessation iron n hostilities constituted the only hope for hin
 and the remnant of bis tribe.

 "' Gen. Crook returned to headquarters aft giving affairs at the Verde a careful invest
 gation, and is we'll satisfied with the preser IT. condition of both military and Indian ma
