The Indians are probably Mexican Indians,
and not Victories main force, as supposed
by Lieut.. Money, as they have many
wounded. The General, concluding, says:
"He may catch them before they reach
the line. My orders are such that can fol-
low them no further, and must look out for
Indian bands in the mountains here. Cusack
with four companies of one hundred and
twenty men is doing hard scouting and good

than four times the number OF recruits.
The surprise made by the scouts on the 9th
is more serious to the hostiles than at first
supposed"
