vfctoria,s Band-A Combination for
 Their Conquest-Stern Determaation
 of the HOstiles.
 WASHINGTON Sept. 24.-The latest in- formation received at the War office from Victoria and his band is decidedly interesting and leads to the anticipation of exciting news from that quarter at an early day. It seems that the Indians had taken cover in the fast nesses of the Coralories mountains in Mexico not far from the Rio Grande, and at the so- heitation of Colonel Vallo, commanding the Mexican forces, a combination had been fornied between the forces under his com rnand and the United States troops under command of Colonels Grierson and Ruel The purpose of the combination was to sur round the Indians on all sides and move simultaneously to their attack It is believed that this movement will result in the capture or total annihilation of the Indians. At the War office it is believed that the Indians will fight to the death, that not one of them will surrender. The mountains where the Indi- ans have taken refnge are of the most rugged and bushwhacking, and if the troops should succeed in penning the Indians up there will be some lively fighting. It is, however, the desire of both governments that Victoria and his band should speedily captured or an- initiated, and it is believed that one or the other will be accomplished by the combina- tion referred to- It is understood that Vic toria's band is now composed entirely of Mescatero Apaches, the best mountaineers among the southern Indians, equal in every respect to the best of the Utes, and a hard fight is expected.

Republican Prospects in the Doubtful

 Republican Prospects in the Doubtful
 States.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Secretary Evarts arrived here yesterday, and has been busy ever since in strengthening up the routine business of his department. To-day he pre- sided at special meeting of the Cabinet. No business was transacted, the object of the meeting being simply for consultation as to how public business was progressing. There that was confined to express individual opin- ions as to the probable result in Indiana next month, and the prospects in other doubtful States. Those present agreed in the opinion that Indiana is safe for the Republicans and that New York, New Jersey and Connecticut would give their electoral votes for Garfield and Arthur in November. It was not thought the result of the recent election in Maine would produce the least advantage to the Democrats in Indiana or any other State. Secretary Evarts will deliver his first speech in the campaign on Wednesday evening of next eek at Cooper Institute, New York The speech will be an elaborate one, and will deal with the political problem in all it's phases. He is thoroughly of opinion that the Republicans will carry New York in No vember, and that Garfield and Arthur will be elected. The Secretary is also of opinion that New Jersey and Connecticut will give Republican majorities in November
 In regard to the Spanish outrages, the Secretary said this afternoon that he did not anticipate the least difficulty in settling the business. Spain was not desirous of pro- voking a quarrel with the United States. The negotiations are progressing favorably.

To Theodore Cook, Esq, CJnscinnatt, O.:
 Dear Sir-Your letter of the goth instant has been received. I regret that you are disturbed about the effect of that bagbear Southern war claims.'' The people cannot be misled by it to suppose that rebel claims" or claims in the interest of persons who were in the rebellion, can in any way or in any de- gree be countenanced. It is an imputation of disloyalty such as used to be made against Democrats even when they were in arms de- lending the country. So far as 1t touches me, I denounce it. The Government can ward of any sort for waging war upon its own existence. Nor could I be induced to ap- prove or encourage the payment of such debt pension or reward. Nobody expects or wants unnatural action. To propose it would be an insult to the intelligence or hon or of our people When the rebellion was crushed the heresy of secession in every form and incident went down forever. It is a thing of the dead past We move forward, not backward. If I were President I would veto all legislation which might come before me providing for the consideration or pay ment of claims of any kind for losses or damages by persons who were in the rebel lion, whether pardoned or not. In relation to 'tUnion war claims,' the Governments obligations to it's defenders come first. They are lasting and sacred. The public laws of civilized nations do not in general recognize claims for injuries to prop erty resulting from the operations of war. Nevertheless, our Govern ment has treated with great indul- gence the claims for losses and damages suf- fered by Union men from the military opera tions of the war for the Union But as hos tilities were closed more than fifteen years claims of that nature now mostly in the hands of brokers or persons other than the original sufferers, are becoming stale, and in my judg- ment might fairly be considered as barred by the lapse of time, and if hereafter entertained at all should be subjected to the strictest scrutiny. Yours very truly,
