to the city and publishes an interview
with him. Stewart beasarthe mark Of
travel, and says he has been to Mexico;
that he left to avoid an interview Of
officious friends and unpleasant political
influences, and to disembarrass himself
from the unpleasant obligations; that
the officers Of his Office are all straight,
and that his private matters had been
greatly misrepresented. On the other
hand there is a definite statement that
Stewart has come back at the request
of his bondsmen, and that they had
been obliged to pay into the treasury

Lieutenant Smith, of the 9th Cavalry,
Killed in the Fight.
Five Whites Killed and Eleven
Wounded-Indian Loss Not Known.

Denver, Aug. ga Santa Fe spec
ial gives the following account of the
fight in LakeValley few days ago: 1t.
Smith and his force of twenty men had
been ON the trail for several days, and
by forced marches overlook the Indians
near McEvers' ranch in Lake Valley
district. The Indians were strong in
numbers and Smith attacked them, ex-
pecting reinforcements from troops fol-
lowing some distance behind. The SOL
diers were being rapidly shot down.
when at critical moment, Geo. DAILY.
with his force Of twenty miners ar
rived and joined in the fight, and the
Indians were routed with great loss;
they carried of their dead and wounded
80 that their exact loss cannot be ascer-
tained. The whites lost Geo. DAILY, 1t.
Smith and four men killed and eleven
wounded; the killed and wounded, ex-
cept DAILY, are all supposed to have
been soldiers. Days part in the at
tack grew out of an attack by the
Apaches on his camp, in which the In
dians were apprised by all the miners of
the camp, DAILY commanding and being
repulsed. DAILY at once collected 20
men and started in pursuit. overtaking
the Indians as above stated. Smith
was one of the best officers of the ninth
cavalry, has engaged in several Indian
campaigns and several times during
the war was brevetted for gallantry.
Lieut.. Dominick with a company of
cavalry, and Lieut.. Taylor with twenty
Indian scouts. who were but four hours
behind Nana's main band, arrived dur
ing the evening, and without stopping
continued the pursuit. They have
probably overtaken the Indians before
this as the latter would be considerably
delayed by carrying OF burying the
dead. The hostiles are near the Mexi-
can line, evidently making for Chihua-
hua, and are well armed and mounted.
The Mascaleros who have been light
ing with Mana are trying to sneak back
to the agency by twos and threes. A
company Of cavalry have been ordered
to guard Hillsboro and the valley set
Elements, and if possible cut off or
head Nana's band until Taylor and Dim

Washington, Aug. 22-Surgeon Gen.
Wales, of the navy has now a case un-
der his charge, in which the blood has
been vitiated from wound received
before the president was shot. There
is the came parotid glandular swelling
succeeded later ON by an abcess, this
again was followed by other alb.
cesses to the number of twenty. The
pulse has varied for two months be-
tween 100 to 120. This patient has been
nourished for six weeks solely upon beef
extract and barley, taken in minute
doses at frequent intervals, sometimes
by enamata. Surgeon General Wales
has little, if any hope of final recovery
in the case referred to, but thinks his
patient may linger for another month,
and perhaps two. He says the presi-
dent, if he is to recover, will need fully
two months to get rid Of the depravity
Of his blood, and during that time he
will suffer more than he has yet done.
Gen. Wales thinks that septicmmia has
been the retarding influence ever since
the first incision, July 23d.
