About Indians.
Verde Reservation

are not nTeDaTtu tD FhY. hufnOf, UOWtNCTs connects his visit with the charges recently made against special agent Williams of the Verde reservation.
 The latest news from the Verde is that Lieut.. Schuyler, while out scouting, with sIgall command, struck some runaway Apa- oaes in the Red Rock country, three of whom were killed and ten captured. This chastis- ing stroke comes in good time as good medi- cine for other Apaches who may be out, or who may contemplate going out. Provi- dence, it seems, guides Crook and bis men to strike in the right spot.
 Report says that Dr. Williams is doing well, and that the Indians are apparently content, and we'll they may be, since they are 50 well provided for.
 THE wALLApAH.
 The great heart of the Wallapai Nation is attached to their own country. They have heard that their removal from Camp Beale Springs is only a question of time, and they are anxiously canyassing the future. It is not their wish to remove to either the Verde or ColoradoC but move they must, and that pretty soon. Beale Springs is no good place for them, because there is no agricultural land, besides, it is too near the white settle ments, and on a main road Interest aside. the Verde would be the best place for them, owing to climate, soil, nature of country, etc | The only trouble, it would bring them face face to with their old enemes-Apaches and Yayapais. But they might be given valley away from these fiends, and white soldiers could keep down trouble between the trio of red tribes. They, we learn, would like to go to Truxton Springs, in Mohaye county, but that, we hear, is not good place for reservation.
 SAN CARLOS RESERVATION.
 Recent mails have brought us no com plaints from this reservation, so, we presume, Major Brown has his red wards well in hand.
 WRITE MOUNTAIN.
 On this reservation things are not alto gether lovely. Agent Roberts is out of funds and supplies, and entirely dependent upon the military, wbo are doing their best to help him run his big boarding house.
 There is news that Del-Che had gone to the mountains, and it is more than surmised that he did not leave of his own accord, but was partially forced to do so by threats of one Capitan Chiquito, who will, if he does not behave himself, wake up some fine morn ing on Alcatraz or in Fort Yuma.
 We have a vivid recollection of this Capi- tan Chiquito. He is one of the old chiefs oi
 the Coyotero Apaches, whose country is , southwest of Camp Apache, around the Sierra , Pinto. In 1870, when Gen. Stoneman spoke with the COyoteros at Apache, ChiQuitc
 feigned sickness and went home.
