Nothing further from Apache. At

in Tonto Basin and Pleasant VAL

party of citizens leave Globe to-day
to assist the settlers. Col. Price, of
the Sixth Cavalry, with two COM
panies of cavalry, are supposed to
be advancing in that direction.
Everything is quiet at San Carlos.
Precautions have been taken
against an attack there and at
Globe. The people in this vicinity
feel easier since the receipt of news
from Apache. G.. III. Stevens and
two others left here three days ago

Carlos agency to recruit company
Of scouts, reports burying ten or
twelve men east of here on his

NEWS FROM FORT APACHE.
Two Indian couriers arrived from
Apache at 4 P. M. Everything
quiet around the post, the hostiles
having left its immediate vicinity.
Saw the bodies of four white men
near Black River, probably those
of the McMurrapaparty. Craig and
Overton's codsniAud and CIark's
Indian scoutsj reached there with
out encOunteriDg any hostiles. All
quiet. Garter is at Globe. Major
Chaffee's company reached Carlos
to-day. The Major is very sick of
Intermittent fever. The mail car
rier from Clifton arrived here at Z
Pm. He reports that Indians
state that all the stock and provis-
ions arrived at Mormon settle % ent,
sixteen miles east of here to. day.
No one killed. Jack O'NeiI, pre-.
pairing to 60 out to look after Stew
ens's party, was thrown from
mule and dislocated his shoulder.
A special to the Star says that a
courier from Apache this evening
reports finding the bodies of four
men ON the trail eight miles from
there. The troops went out to bury
them. The clothing left showed
that they were the mounted cour-
iers fsom here and two men who
ran the Black River ferry boat for
the post. Gen. Carr was scouting
the trails to locate the hostiles, who
seem to have kept southwest, while
citizens reported them in the rough
country northeast of Rocky Cafion.
The Indian soldiers having the
start, the military must find it
hard work to follow the enemy in
q region of volcanic rock and ar
royos, and leaving no trace of foot
prints. Cooley, citizen of the
post, for safety had gone out to try
to talk to come of the chiefs sup
posed not to be In the fight, hoping
to learn how many are on the war
path. The conduct Of Lieutenants
Stanton and General CARTS son is
highly spoken Of, as we'll as the ac-
tiOn of Lieutenant Cruz. From
San Carlos news comes that neith-
or Gatewood nor Guilfoyle can
raise more scouts. The military
are doing everything to protect the
settlers, though the force 10 small
to cover such an extent of country.
We hear that reinforcementa are
coming in fast.
