 The Missing Apaehss ] WAsHIN6ToN, August I5. -Supern- | tendent Carlisle 5. Patterson, of the | Court of Survey, died to-day near this city. l A report has been received at the In- teriOr DeIiartmeur from Indian Agent Llewellyn, of the Mescalero Agency, New Mexico, relative to recent depreda- tons committed by a party of Mescalroe ! Apaches. Concerning the cause of this outbreak General Llewellyn writes, under date of July 2Sth, that some few months agd he, the army then being sta l toned herh, gave @ written permit to ! three Indians at his agency to go to Old ] Mexico and bring back a party of their ! friends, whom they claimed had left at | the time of the Victoria troubles. This | party was due home three weeks ago, | but was chased and driven into the mountains thirty miles from the agency, l to the south. Since that time they have made, Parkers scouts say, three ineffect- nal efforts to get into the agency, but each time, hut the scouts and soldiers | finding them, they could not return to
 the agency as they had been led to ! believe they. could. They therefore con- ! cluded to gb on the war-path. I learn
 on good authority that there are about
 seventy Indians in the party. The ! Indians here feel badly because their | friends could not be permitted to return,
 but all unite in telling me they will re-
 main quiet and show the Great Fathers
 their hearts are good.

 have been consulted On the subject and l a response shnt to SOcorro, stating that l the available military force in that local | itv should bh sufficient to queU the dis l turbance, and 1t was deemed unnecessary ! to order any mOre forces.
 Indian Excitement in New Mexico. ! DENVER, August 1.-The Tribune's ! Santa Fe special says: Mana, with about forty Indians, some of his own band and some Navaios. is going south. They are well armed and mounted. The teams of Sol Earth, a merchant of St. Johns, Ar izona, was attacked on the 17th near Rio | Duemade, 14a miles from here, by IS | Indians. Juan Salas, who sat by Barth's side, was killed. The latter escaped by ! ! the horses running away. The Indians ! killed two men on the Rio DuernadO on ! the same day.i Last Thursday the same party of Indians attacked Earth 9 miles southwest of Beln, but were repulsed. l He says the road is alive with dead oxen | and sheep and that the Indians have l burned all the ranches within their reach The number of persons killed by ! the Indians iui the last ten days is known | : to exceed twenty. Earth was met ! by Parker dt Cieniio last Friday morning and gave him guide, and iD- formed him Of the depredations. The ! Captain. with twenty well mounted sol diers. started in pursuit, being only six hours behind. The Indians are dressed in citizens clothes, captured from Ba- eos train, andi cannot be distinguished except at close quarters. The Navajoes at Alamo are believed to be in with the l hostiles, as they get a share of the plum der. The disIIatches'frOm SOcorrO have caused general excitement. Public meetings havd been held, and 61 vOlun- ! teers are ready to answer the first call. ! Advices at military headquarters are that since the fight B miles west of Sa- | binal Captain Parker has continued in pursuit of Naria's band, and Lieutenant | Guilfoyle and Wright are also on the ! trail with forty. men. Nana's band is go- 1 ing south. and killed three American | miners and two Mexican sheepherders | ten miles from SocOrro. Several squads ! of troops under General Hatch are due
 south of the band attempting to prevent ! their escape into Chihuahua. So far the troops have had four encounters with the Indians The latter, if found and can't escape, will doubtless scatter and

 they will be safe from pursuit and pun ishment A volunteer company under ! Trinouillino Luna is still guarding the
 settlements. It Is reported that another band of Indians crossed the railroad near Fl Paso, going towards the Florida mountains and detachment of troops
