 and Thefts in Sonora from October
 to March--Letter from the Pre- i feet of Altar.
 DELICIAs, SONORA, March 14, 1875 To the Hon. A. P. K. Stafford, Gov ernor of Arizona Territory, Tucson, A. T. Dear Sir: I have received your favor date1 February 10, and with 1t | the testimony of the sincere interest which you and General Crook mani fest in calling the attention of the general government to the fatal con- sequences caused by the treaty of peace between General Howard and the Indian Cachise. It is no longer doubtful that all the depredations committed iu our midst since October, proceed from the reservation of the "Ojos Salados (Salt Springs), as you will see in the review of the facts, (which I have the honor to transmit herewith, and which is true extract Iof the official statements as referred Ito in the "Star of the West" without making mention of the doubtf facts which have not properly come to the knowledge of the authorities. and which are therefore not well authen- ticated. I transmit, also, a copy of a communication from the prefect of Altar, which l have this moment re- ceived.
 From a communication of General Crook, dated January 9, I was led to nope that he would compel the h. dians on Cachise's reservation to draw back from the borders of this State; but in his last letter dated February 9, he informs me that he has met with difficulties not previously known to him, which compel him to wait for instructions from the general govern ment.
 I am much obliged to Gen. Crook and to your honor, for the pains you take in bringing our disagreeable posi- tion in which the privileges conceded to Cachise by Gen. Howard have placed us, to the knowledge of your government, and 1 hope that as soon as General Crook will have obtained permission to act according to his ln- tentions, our calamities will greatly diminish. Yours most respectfully.

 In No. 322. Under the title " Fiendish Treachery," letter dated m Tucson in the commencement of October, speaks of a treaty of peace peace agreed upon between General Howard and Cachise. It is not said that thls General has guaranteed to the tribe of Chis or Cachise the per mission to make war upon Sonora, but l assure you that he pointed it out to him through reservation whose lands are situated on the borders of this State and your Territory. From hose hostile measures (steps) have resulted, without a doubt, the daily occurring misfortunes, in moment, too. when we thought to be somewhat relieved from those barbarous depred- ations.
