Atrocities In New Ne ic"-A Terrible
Record of Bloodshed and Kapiue.
THE UTE MARAUDERs.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-In consequence Of
the stormy weather which has set in on the
route between Rawlins and White River
Agency and of the retreat of the hostile Utes
over the mountains southwark from the lat
ter point. it has been determined to relin-
quish the former purpose of reinforcing Gen.
Merritt by direct line from the Union Pa
cifc railroad, but orders have been issued by
Gen. Sherman for an immediate concen-
tration of troops near Alamada and Pagosa,
Colorado, with view of joining Gen. Mer-
rit's forces and of cooperating with him in
the Uncampagna region in case the scene OF
hostilities shall have been shifted thus far
to the southwark. No advices have been
received at army headquarters either from
Merritt's command or in regard to the
Apache disturbances in New Mexico. It is
believed, however, that the latter will be
speedily quelled, as Gen. Morrow, if he fails
to overtake the maurauding Indians,w will I'M
doubtedly drive them over the border into
Mexico.

THE APAoHEs.
GALVESTON, Oct. 18.-Ne,os special from
Messila, New Mexico: 1t is stated that the
Mescalaso Apaches have been forced to

dozen; many mutilated bodies; outraged

ogether-between McEvers rancho and
Hillsboro, part of the killed being
band of frontiersmen under Capt.
Yankie. On the 9th Gov. Wallace asked the
war department. for arms and authority to
raise men to fight. The secretary of war
answered that the department. was unin-
formed of the nature of the outbreak or
number of hostiles. Lieut.. Wright, Ninth
cavalry, with part of his company, some
volunteers and Navajo scouts, had resultIess
skirmish with the Indians. Capt. Boyer
took command, and later was repulsed, the
Indians capturing most of his horses, pack
train, and 5000 rounds of ammunition. A
month later Major Morrow takes command
with 300 men, fights Victoria, and kills one
squaw, captures several. Two soldiers kill
ed, several wounded. October ~, news re-
ceived of the destruction of MeEver's and
Lloyds ranches, both killed. Seventeen

firing, but were repulsed. Chief Victoria

bodies found and buried. Women have
been taken prisoners, stock killed, everything
destroyed at Lloyd's rancho. The body of
Alex Horton, of st. Louis, found and barred.
All cattle killed and imple-
ments and - houses destroyed. From
Lloyd's the volunteers went to
succor Colorado and Santa Barbara, small
towns which were surrounded by In
dams, who dared the Inhabitants out to
fight. Nine men were killed by the Indians
while surrounding the towns. Only thirty
rifles in the place. The volunteers dispersed
the Indians and raised the siege. The Indians
have gone to Florida mountains, thirty
miles south of Fort Cummings, when they
can easily go into Mexico. Maj. Morrow,

for thirty days provisions. Most of the
warriors from Mesolero agency have joined
the hostiles.

A Good Joke on Prior.
Sylvester Montruse was delegated last
night to clean out the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul ticket Office, and by the ap-
pearance of the place he did the work we'll,
If quantity Of water would clean it. While
Sylvester was wetting down the walls super
intendent Prior strolled into the Office, and
was asked what he wanted. On answering
nothing in particular, Sylvester, who did
not know his visitor, ordered him out. Now if
there is one thing more than another that
Superintendent Prior dislikes it is to be
treated unoficially by any of the road en-
ployes. and he did not, therefore, make any
more toward the door until Sylvester pointed
the hose at him and seized him by the coat
collar, when the bystanders say that he
moved rapidly. After putting Prior out
Sylvester locked the door and proceeded
with his work, and Prior went for a police
man, who persuaded Sylvester to open the
door. When the situation was explained to
him Sylvester apologized, but it will prob
ably be the last time he will clean out that
Office.
