Indian Troubles in the Southwest.

CHICAGO, August IA special to
the Times from Santa Fe, New Mex
leo, dated Saturday, says:
Gen. Edward Hatch accompanied
by Lieutenant Steadman and Mai.
Henry Deft, left this afternoon for
Fort Craig, to personally direct the
movements of the troops, now out
after the renegade Apaches, from
the Mescolero agency, where depre>
dations have already been reported.
General Hatch thinks the situation
is very serious as the Novajoes are
very restless and chatting, under
| Agent Golen Eastman, whom
they hate. General Hatch
informed the Times correspon-
dent that he had sent five
companies of cavalry and about 40
Indian scouts against the Apaches.
The rest of the 9th Cavalry is on ac-
tive duty in the Blue Mountains in
Utah, and the infantry garrison at
Forts Wingate, Stanton and Bliss
must have been intact to keep the
Anceny Indians in check. The
Mescoleros, of whom there sec ned to
be at first about thirty, must to have
been joined by some Navejoes, and
probably by some Novesbalds from
chihuahua. Their recent victory
over party of citizens and the
capture of thirty head of horses
from the latter gives the Indians an
advantage which may induce some
more OF the Navajoes to join them.
However, Gen. Foryee's Indian
scouts and company of the 9th
Cavalry have already struck their
trail, and news of a fight is hourly
expected. Another party of In
dians stampeded and captured eight
horses from Mexican train at JAR
RADIO del Ninerto, while still another
party captured all the horses OF
Warner & McCaukey's stage line to
Blackrange, twenty in number
and wounded two herders. Thus
far, eight Indians have fallen
in the raid. Mescolero Indian Agen
cy is to blame for all of this, as it is
favorably situated and a secure
haven of refuge when the Indians
are too closely pressed. For six
months last year the Mescoleros
were disarmed and kept prisoners
by the military and were quiet. As
soon as the military were withdrawn
they commenced their deviltry, slip,
ping off by twos and threes, com
bining at some place of rendezvous
committing murders and depre'
dations, scattering and doubling OF
their trails and by and by appearing
within the Agency limits as gooc
Indians. More troops are needed
and until the Indians are entirely
disarmed and dismounted no peace
can be expected.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, l p. m-The
necessity for the operation which
was performed upon the President
this morning became apparent to
the surgeons yesterday, when they
found that the drainage tube of the
size hitherto used could not longer
be passed along the track of the
ball between the ribs The process
OF granulation at that point had
grown SO far as to partially close the
oritice, and the ribs prevented the
pushing aside of the flesh, which was
healing between them enough so
that the tube could be introduced.
The result of this state of things
was that pus formed in the deeper
parts of the wound rather faster than
it could escape through the half obs
structed opening between the ribs,
and its gradual accumulation began
to cause disturbance. It was, there
fore, decided to make a new opening
into the track of the ball below the
last rib, so that the ribs should no
longer prevent the keeping open OF
the wound by the solid backing
which they afforded to the granulat,
ing flesh between them. The opera
ton was performed, at the request
OF the other surgeons, by DR.. Ag-
new. AS soon as the patient had
been put under the influence of
ether long and slightly
curved instrument was intro.
duced into the wound, pushed
between the ribs and carried down
ward along the track of the bullet
until its end could be felt below the
last rib from the outside. Holding
this instrument in the wound, as q
guide, Doctor Agnew made a counter
lnclsion below the 18th rib, cutting
alrectly through the integument uno
I'LL MS knife met the end of the first
nentloned instrument at q
point where he wished to inter
sect the track of the ball. The
operation was not a difficult or a
dangerous one, and the patient bore
both it and the ether extremely
well. There is now an opening to
the deeper parts of the wound, which
