Another Hostile Indian Asylum
 Broken Up.

 Broken Up.
 From the time the CachIse and other Indians were placed on the ChIricahua reservation, till it was broken up last June, it was an asylum for thieving and murdering Indians. The reserve was broken up and most of the Indians re- mt ved by order of the Indian Bureau at the request of Gov Stafford and un- der the superintendence of Agent John P: Cum.
 After that date, the renegade Chiri- cahuas found a ready-made asylum and gov rnment supplies at Hot Springs or Southern Apache Agency in New Mex ico. March 19, 1877, Gov. Stafford ad- vised the Commissioner of Indian Al fairs that the Indians of that reserve should be removed 10 San Carlos pr another agent appointed that had the firmness and disposition to do his duty An order at once came to Agent Cum 10 go and arrest the renegades, and bring them to San Carlos. This order is being successfully executed, as will be seen by telegrams and letter Tn to- days CITIZEN, with the additional good work of removing all the Indians found there, which practically ends that asy- lum for hostile Indians.
 Agent Clum's letter of April 24 shows two important facts at this junct- ure, viz: That the Apaches which have been depredating in Arizona were har- bored and fed at Warm Springs; and also what an important part the Ter ritorial scouts under Capt. Beauford played in the capture of some, at least, of these very same Indians. Every man of common sense and fairness, now can but admit the good policy of sending the scouts to that Agency. They quickly and well performed an important duty, and promptly started back 10 intercept or capture others of the same nest of depredators. The dis patch of Lieut.. Vedder shows clearly what great importance Gen Hatch, an active and useful and we'll disposed military commander, attaches to the breaking up of this reservation and the removal of the Indians; and is is indisputable that for this thorough work, the primary and much of the subsequent credit, is due Gov. A. P. K Stafford and Agent John P. Cum. The military under Col Wade is highly complimented in public and privaie dispatches by Agent Cum. Gen. Hatch evidently appreciates and promptly per forms his duty as intended by the laws of the country and in the spirit of the orders of the department at Washing ton.
 In this connection, it is proper to re mark that when Gen. W. Vandever, U. s. Indian Inspector, was here in 1873, he saw that both the Chiricahua and Tulerosa reserves were aSylums for the hostile Indians He recommended the breaking up of both; the sending oi the Tulerosas beyond the Rio Grande to or about Fort Stanton, and Ihe Chir- Icahuas to San Carlos He saw the Tulerosas were coming to Chiricahua and there being fed, joined the Chiri cahuas in raids into Sonora. and there fore issued a peremptory order that the former be no longer fed at tine Agency of the latter. The Tulerosas were on ly removed to Warm Springs, this side of the Rio Grande, and they have ever since been in with the ChirIcahua ren- egades, SD that in relation to thefts and murders in Arizona, the Warm Springs Agency look the exact place Of the Chiricahua Now that both are brok- en up, the hosliles will have no govern ment food and protection and care, and we believe soon will be killed or com pelled to live peacesbIy on some re serve. The outlook tor early peace in Arizona is surely bright, and to the right action of Gov Stafford, Agent Cum and of the military under Gen Hatch, are the people indebted there for.
