Another Ocean Steamship Missing.
Last year quite number of ocean steam.
ships, mostly freight carriers, sailed from vari.
GUS ports and were not heard of after. This
year but comparatively few occurrences of this
nature have been reported. In the cases ..o1
many of the vessels lost last year their founder.
ing has been generally attributed to the shifting
Of the cargoes Of grain which they carried.
One of the vessels supposed to be lost this yea,
is the Mercator, a steamship which sailed from
Antwerp March for New York. The vessel
carried no passengers, being designed simply az
a freight vessel. The cargo was valued al
$120,000 The Mercator is at least two months
overdue and all hopes of it's ever returning have
been be given up by the owners and consignees;
The manner in which the vessel was lost will
probably never be known and the Mercator will
be included in that long list of vessels that have
sailed from port and never been heard of after.
The Indians Defeated.
The latest from Oio Caliente, Gen. Hatch's
present headquarters, is to the effect that, at
daylight on the morning of the oath, part Of
his command, consisting of Indian scouts and
the hostile Apaches at the headwaters of the
Polomos river, about 80 miles south of Ojo Cali
ente, routing. the hostile Indians completely.
Thirty dead indians are reported by native
scouts, while soldiers claim they killed about
twice as many. Either number would indicate
an unusual success, for Victoria's band is not
large. The finding of Navajoes and Comanches
among the dead proves that, as suspected. the
band is composed or bad Indians from every
where. The most hopeful indication of the
fight is that the Indians were demorahzed by
their defeat Heretofore their immunity from
serious harm has caused those particular saw
ages to consider themselves invincible; hence
their boldness. But the defeat experienced will
make them less dangerous in future, even If
the pursuing column fails to overtake and ex-
terminate them.
