says: Two reports from Silver City state
that the blackboard driver was killed by
Indians yesterday, just west Of Cummins;
the mail was captured and destroyed.

killed, and a number Of cattle and stock
were taken, and a number Of Mexicans
were killed near Cummins and Hillsbor-
ough. Fifty head of stock were killed at
the latter point, and a large number Of
horses were stolen. Cooks Canyon is re-
ported full of Indians, and massacres are
of almost hourly occurrence. There is an
absolute reign Of terror east of Silver City
and the mail is suspended.

| Kline, President of the Day. Col. Savage
| delivered the Grafton. Volleys were dis
| charged over the graves by the troops. and

A Tucson dispatch to o. r. Smith, SUI
| perintendent Of the N. M. & L. Co., from
| Tucson to Messilla, New Mexico, is here
from Silver City. He states that the whole
country surrounding Silver City is in a
state Of terror and Generalization. Vic
| torio and his band Of anot less than $50
warriors" made up OF Apaches, Mescalaros,
Comanches and Navajos, are spreading
| death and destruction before them. The
| troops under General Hatch appear to be
| powerless. A volunteer company of so
men are equipped, mounted, and rationed
by the citizens Of Silver City to aid the
military. This company. under Captain
E. v. Price, reported to Hatch at Magellan
Mountains some days ago. offering their
aid. In response to this offer they we're in
formed by Hatch that the citizens had bet
ter attend to their W business, that he
would take care Of the Indians. At that
time San Francisco valley was being made
desolate by the Indians, and the settlers
were fleeing for their lives. Not less than
% people have been killed. 1t is also we'll
known, that when . prominent officer of
Arizona, in command, sent word to Hatch,
that by o certain movement he, Hatch,
could corral Victoria in Box Canyon.
Hatch refused to cooperate, and Victoria
escaped. The people Of southwestern New
Mexico are very bitter against Hatch. Up
wards Of $50 citizens have been killed in
New Mexico by this hand Of Indians during
Hatch's campaign Of the last two or three
months. They also claim that he has been
defeated in every engagement with the In
dams, and has sent reports to military
headquarters, most outrageously classifying
the real situation Of affairs in his depart
ment.
Notice Of appeal to the Supreme Court
has been hled from the9rd-r Of the Supe-
rior Court sustaining the demurrer from
the complaint, and Diminishing the pro-
ceedings instituted to remove Mayor Kali
