Onsbreak Of the Apache Indians aa
ArtZOhn.

Onsbreak Of the Apscne Indians an
CAMP THOMAS, Sept. There
has been great uneasiness in
Apache county for the past two
weeks over rumors that the White
Mountain Indians, near the Fort,
were excited and ready to break
out at any time. On the 18th Cen
eral Wilcox, commanding this
department, sent the available
troops in the southern part of the
Territory to assist in quelling any
disturbances of the indians, who
were reported to be excited by bad
medicine men who promised to
raise the dead warriors and clean
out the whites; but the time of
their miracles having passed and
no sign Of hostilities appearing, the
e0ldiers were sent back to their
posts. Gen. Carr. of the Sixth
Cavalry, was at Fort Apache with
some scouts and several companies,
and there seemed to be no appre-
hension of danger. But to-day a
courier arrived from the command
ing officer there stating that Carr
was out to protect the settlers and
had been fighting all day on the
30th, losing a number of soldiers.
The couriers sent to him
had not returned, though "a
hours overdue. Gen Wilcox has
ordered out all the troops from
Forts Grant and Thomas, aud they
were marching all last night They
have crossed the Gila river and are
pushing forward rapidly to Carr's
relief. Troops from Fort Lowell
and the southern posts are already
in motion and Gen. Wilcox takes
the field to direct in person the
movements of his troops.
LATER Tiffany, the Indian
agent at San Carlos, reports that
Indian runners have come in from
the White mountains with rumors
of fighting near Fort Apache One
lieutenant and a number of soldiers
are said to have boen killed in Il
fight on Cebisqne creek. Owing to
the late heavy storms the military
telegraph line is down beyond
Camp Thomas, aud news comes
from Fort Apache by mounted
courier.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNTANTS fol-
lowing is official: To Captain Has
kell, aide-de-camp, Fort Bowie:
Jun and Gronimo went across the
river Oh pass from the agent to
hunt, the day after you left (Mor-
day,) and are reported peaceable.
Natchez was here to see me this
morning. He knows of the out
break and says he and the other
chiefs are friends, and that he will
not allow any of his men to partic-
ipate in the present trouble. He
went to the sub-agency afterwards.
Nothing new since my dispatch of
this morning. Perrinez and Craig's
companies, and Bailey's Indian
scouts crossed the river en- route to
Apache, and Biddle with A and f
companies and Lieutenant Over
ton, and are crossing now.

WASHINGTON, Sept. .2.-At a
late hour last night Bliss said that
the President was no worse than
last night. The fact that the Pres
ident has not gained any, and that
the effects Of strong stimulating en-
emata cannot bear him up much
longer unless he does improve,
causes a feeling Of renewed appre-
hepsion. 1t is feared that the fate
full Saturday will again bring on
its crisis. The physicians' state-
ments, somewhat negatively reas.
suring, do not serve to dispel the
apprehepsions that all Is not well
at the White House. The report of
no gain OF strength has continued
90 long that it tells the story
around which danger hangs. The
wound does not improve to any no.
tic able extent. The President is
not out of danger by any means.
The increase OF pulse Tonight is
not due to fever, but to weakness.
