DepredatiOns OF Apache Indians In
Texas.

ST.. LOUIS, May ga special from
Leaven woIth to the Globe. Democrat
says: A letter in the Dodge City (ks }
Times from Sweetwster, Texas, gives II
report that the town of Double Noun .
tain, in the Panhandle of Texas, has
been captured by the Apache Indians
and all the stock in the town run of. No
particulars are given. The letter also
ct .tes that quite large number OF hunt
ers have been killed by the Indians dur
ing the past winter; also that fight re-
Gently occurred in the Panhandle be-
tween sixty hunters and twice that num-
Der OF Apache Indians. The hunt
ers started after the Indians TO avenge
the murder of Mr.. Swell, one Of their
number. They followed the trail many
days, and although the provisions gave
out, they still pursued them, living on
what game they could kill on the way.
At ler 9Th they came upon an Indian vii
lage containing number OF lodges, on
the bank of q small stream, and although
they had been without food for two days
they attacked the Indians under cover
of the banks of the stream. The fight
continued for several hours, and was
stopped by darkness. During the night
Indians struck their lodges, took their
women and children and killed and
wounded and fed. The Indian loss is
not known, but is believed TO be consid-
erable. Several hunters were wounded,
but none killed.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The cabinet
to day determined that letter should be
addressed TO the Mexican government
by the Secretary o. State, notifying that
government that it must take immediate
steps to prevent raids across the Rio
Grande into Texas, otherwise our mill
tsry commander in Texas will be in
structed to follow the msrsuders into
Mexico and punish them upon that ter
ritory.
The action of the Cabinet does not in
volve the question of q formal recogni
ton OF the Diaz government, but merely
deals with it as the only party that can be
addressed. Some weeks must n ecessariiy Y
elspse before response to our demand
can be reached, and hence there Is not
likely to be any immediate invasion Of
the Mexican soil by U. S. troops.
The President, Secretary McCrsry and
several other members o; the Cabinet
will attend the decoration ceremonies at
Arlington Cemetery, Tomorrow.
