Massacre. ba
GENERAL UPRISING or THE ARIZONA AND
sEw MEXICO TRIBES IMMINENT.
SAN Francisco, September 8 .--Dispaiches
from Tucson, Arizona, say General Carr
was in command Of the garrison OF Fort
pscbe, consisting Of two companies Of the
Sixth cavalry and one Of infantry. After
leaving a sufficient force TO protect the pub
lie property at Apache be had bur sixty.
three enlisted men Of the Sixth cavalry and
hiiy officers. The medicine man, who was
at the bottom Of the trouble, bad for some
weeks past been predicting TO the White
Mountain Indians that When the corn was
ripe he would raise all their dead chiefs, and
the whites would then be. driven out Of
their country. Tbis was sufficient 10 war.
rant tine conclusion that preparations were
being inside by the tribes TO break out as
soon as they had finished their haTyests.,
General Carr was ordered to arrest the
medicine man. He doubted his ability to
DO 40 with so sr1ali aforce against the whole
thst their medicine-nan would raise ND
their dead c0iefs. The circumstances at
tending the massacre were such that IL could
hardly have been avoided. An outbreak
bad been feared, and for the last two weeks
in the Apache country settlers have been
predicting trouble. There are not less lhsn
10000 Indians on the San Carlos reservation
ano fully as many in the Ravajo tribe, which
is located from sixty 10 one hundred miles
north Of the country Of the White Mountain
tribe.
A large number OF young bucks OF both
the san Carlos and Nsyagos tribes have
been visiting White Mountain recently, and
II is believed they were engaged IN the
fight. II Is reported by runners that the
fight continued all the day OF the 30tb.
Every hill and canyon was sUarming with
Indians. News from lower San Pedro last
night is 10 the effect that Eskimigom, chief
OF the Arsyibus, and Chief Lagulo. have
warned The whites 10 lesYe The valley or
prepare to defend themselves; that some.
thing was wrong with the Indians or the
reservations. Both Of these chiefs are'warm
friends Of the whites.
Yesterday afternoon the engineer OF the
freight train coming west was surprised BIZ
The sudden appearance Of large body OF
mounted Indians near wilma. west OF Gage.
They followed the train for about four
mics lie opened the throttle valve and
sped away. He did not know whether they
were armed or not. He estimated their
number az about $50. The band scattered,
and when last seen part OF them were going
north and the remainder south. He en-.
countered another large band about eight
miles from Wilcox. These Indians did
not show any disposition to trouble the
train.
Reports from Bowie station are to the
effect that a band iUmpe1 a ranch twelve
miles south Of Bowie, and It was seen to
burn. There are about forty men at Bowie,
but only four eurs. They have made for.
tiGcations OF the Governments baled bay,
Of which there is a large quantity there.
Last night a number OF signal fires were
seen In the mountains both north and south
Of Bowie station, which were KEEP in active
operation for several hours. II these re.
ports are true, there is no doubt but that
these are MescOeyO's band moving out OF
Sonora and chihuahua north TO aid the
White Mountain Indians.
Captain VI. II. Stacey. Of the Twelfth in
i,ntry, and Captain A. L. Smith. OF the
Eighth infantry, and two scouts aud seven
through here for Camp Thomas OF =. NJ.
They will march sixty-fye miles from Will
cox. Captains Smith and Stacey, with their
command Of seventy men, who passed
through Bowie station, VIII march from
Wilcox, sixty-ive miles, on foot TO Camp
Thomas. Major McShelard. with sixty en-
listed men OF the Sixth cavalry, left Lowell
for Thomas, and goes via old Fort Grant TO
observe the movements Of the Indians on
the lower San PEDRO.
II half OF the reports are true there Is q
fear OF general uprising Of the Apache
nation, which means war OF eXtermlna-
ton. Up TO THIS hour rs p. NJ nothing
further is learned In confirmation or other
wise from the scene OF the massacre. All
OF the women and children are being moved
from Camp Thomas TO Camp Grant. Fifty
csyalrymen have been ordered from the De-
partment OF the Platte. Iodians with car
Dimes same as used by the scouts were seen
near Fort Bowie Yesterday. They have
had time to reach that point since the mas
sacre.
SAS Francisco. September 5-Maior
Wilcox, OF the Eighth nfsntry, leaves san

fighters. The First cavalry is much scat
tered on the coast, but has been ordered TO
ArizOns, and will be sent south as soon as
possible. The Fourth artillery IL ready
