TUCSON, Sept. 5-The excite
ment here still continues. The
news OF the appearance of indiana
In Pleasant Valley looks as though
the dieaffectiOn of the tribes was
spreading. There are large mum.
ber of settlers and proepectors In
and about Cherry Greek and Tonic
Creeks. The Sierra AnchO Noun
tains are the sources of these creeks
and the country affords every facil-
iiy for the Apache to provide
against his pursuit. 1t Is conceded
that the Indians have been prepar.
ing for trouble for more than a
year. It is said they have not less
than three times the usual amount
OF ammunition stored away. OF
late they have shown great anxie-
ty to procure additional arms and
ammunition. A prospector in
from the lower San PEDRO reports
that friendly Indian last Friday
warned him that there were
bad things going to happen,
and told him to leave at
once. He tried every way to
buy his gun and ammunition, for
which he offered large price. The
settlers IN the valley are preparing
for the worst. The general pre-
vailing Impression is that this out
break is not general, and that If
the military show large force at
an early day, it will hold many of
the tribes in check. Several of the
oldest inhabitants think that
while the outbreak is not general
now, it has been pre-arranged by the
chiefs of the various tribes, that as
soon as the corn was ripe, gener-
al uprising was to be made. The
arrest of the medicine man precipi-
tated the emeute sooner than was
contemplated, and If the Indians
on the warpath are not whipped
out at once, there is little doubt
but what all of the tribes will be
drawn into the outbreak. 1t

since they have shown DISPOSE
tion to break over. that all of the
tribes will follow, so that a general
war of determination may be
waged against them. The people
are ready to organize large body
to aid In the work. Several mef-
chants here have expressed will
ingness to contribute five Thousand
dollars and upwards to pay the ex.
pense of arming and equippiDg one
thousand men. There is a strong
feeling against allowing the hostile
Indians to return to the reserva-
tion. The press of the Territory
for the last year have been war
ring against the reservation system,
and are in favor of removing all of
the tribes to the Indian Territory.
The Star, In commenting on their
removal, says: "There is but one
Of two ways to treat the Indian
question. One Is this: a
total extermination; the 9th.
; er, is, their removal to
the Indian Territory. One of these
two will be practically demons
trated before many months. The
press OF the Territory are unit for
their removal. The government is
convinced of the fact that the re-
ssrvatiou system is a failure. 1t
knows that the only true solution
Of the Indian problem is their re-
moval to the Indian Territory or
to some other suitable place far
away from their old hunting
grounds, or to any place where they
can be coloDized and forced to stay.
One thing is certain. the Apache
is making his last fight in Arizo-
ma. The people demand the Gov
ernment to remove them and will
give every aid and encouragement
In carrying out the work. If they
are allowed to. remain, it will not be
on Government reservations. The
people will not tolerate the system.
They will organize as they did in
1859, when they swept the Indians
of old Camp Grant reservation
into their happy hunting grounds.
We have now forty times the num-
Der of citizens TO enforce the condi-
tions, and II the Government fails
in its duty, the people wiilact, and
that action means war of exterm-
ination.n
Captain J. I. Jeffreys has been
induced by the military authorities
to proceed at once to Camp Thomas.
There is, perhaps, no man In Ari-
zona who wiclds SO much
iufluence with certain OF the
Apache tribes as Jeffreys, and
the authorities have undoubtedly
acted wisely in seeking his coun-
sci and assistance. The Captain is
thoroughly conversant with the
country in which the hostiIes are
located, and he speaks several of
tho Apache dialects f1uently. But
his greatest usefulness probably
lies In the fact that many Of the
chiefs place implicit confidence in
the Captains word. During the
time he was Agent his conduct was
such rs to gain their respect and
confidence, both OF which he has
retained up to the present time.
