TUCSON, A. T., Sept. 4.-General
Carr, who was in command of Fort
Apache, had a force consisting Of
two companies of the Sixth Cav.
! airy and one OF infantry. After
leaving sufficient force to protect
the public property at Apache, he
had but sixty three enlisted men
of the Sixth Cavalry and five Off
GERS. The medicine man who was
at the bottom Of all the trouble had
been for some weeks past predict
ing to the White Mountain Indians
that when the corn was ripe he
would raise all their dead chiefs to
life, and the whites would then be
driven out of their country. This
was sufficient to warrant the con-
clusion that preparations were be-
Ing made by the tribe to break out
as soon as they had gathered their
harvest. General Carr was orde; ed
to arrest the medicine man. He
doubted his ability to do so with so
small q force against whole tribe
who had been worked up 70 the be.
ief that their medicine man would
raiee their dead chiefs. The cir
cumstanees attending the disaster
we're such that 1t could hardly have
been avoided. An outbreak has
been feared for the last two weeks
In the Apache country. The set
tiers have all been predicting
trouble. There are not less than
ten thousand Indians on the San
Carlos Reservation, and fully as
many In the Navajo tribe, which is
located from sixty to one hundred
miles north of the country of the
White Mountain tribe. A large
number of the young bucks of both
San Carlos and the NavajOs have
been visiting the White Noun
tains recently, aid 1t is believed
they were engaged in the fight. 1t

SUSPICIOUS APPEARANCE OF IN
DIANs ON THE RAILROAD.
News from Lower San Pedro
last night is to the effect that
EskemiziD, of the Aravipas,
and chief Sagulo have warned the
whites to leave the valley or to
prepare to defend themselves; thar
something was wrong with the In-
diAns Oh the reservations. Both ol
these chiefs are warm friends to
to the whites. Yesterday after
noon the engineer of o freight
train coming west was surprised at
the sudden appearance of large
body of mounted Indians near
wilma, west Of Gage. They fol.
lowed the train for about four miles.
He opened the throttle valve and
sped away from them; he did not
know whether they were armed or
not. He calculated the number at
$50; probably they were not hall
that number. The band scattered
when he last saw them,
part going north the re-
mainder south. He enc0un.
tered another large band about
eight miles west of Wilcox. These
did not show any disposition to
trouble the trails.
FoRTIFYINa BOWIE STATION.
Reports from Bowie Station say
that y band jumped ranch twelve
miles south Of there and 1t was seen
to burn. There are about 40 naen
at Bowie, but only four guns. They
have made Notifications from Gov
ernment baled hay, of which there

Last night b large number of sigma
fires were seen in the mountains
both north and south of Bowie Sta.
tion, which were kept In active op'
Grafton for several hours. If these
reports be true, there is no doub
but that there are Mescalero bandi
moving out of Sonora and Chihus
hua north to aid the White noun
tain Indians.
