dispatch to the Star has advces from Fort
Grant to the following effect: Three
couricrs have now come into Camp
Thomas, all bringing the same news, that
General Carr and command have all been
massacrcd by the White Mountain Indians,
thirty-tivc miles from Camp Apache. One
hundred and ten men and seven officers
were killed. The officers must he General
Carr, Captain Henley, Lieutenants Carter,
Gordon, Stanton, Orvcs and DR.. McCnary.
| The White Mountain Indian reservation
is located about 100 miles south of Wilcox,
near the line Of New Mexico. The tribe
numbers about l,5OO in all. They can
muster 400 warriors. This is the ONLY tribe
OF Apachcs which has not been whippcd
into subiection. They were moved in 1875
into the San Carlos reservation, but were
recalled and returned TO their old hunting
grounds, where they have been ever since.
y dispatch from General McDowell's
headquarters at Prcsidio says: 4 dispatch
from General Wilcox received last night
says he has received news by an Indian
runner that Carr's command, including
himself, six other officers and Sixty.four en-
listed men. We're killed on the 3lst, and
that Pedro's men had killed seven or
eight men, including an exprcsslnan, be-
tween Apache and Thomas.
y dispatch received from General VIII

news that II few escaped from Cars COM
mAnd at Cibien Creek, which was forty
miles west OF Apache. Those who eS-
capped are fighting their way TO Fort
Apache, but it is doubtful il they get in.
l'cdro's band attacked Fort Apache, but
the department commander thinks that he
must have been repulScd, and now holds Il
canon through which the road from
Thomas to Apache passes.

San FRANCISCO, September "a Tucson
dispatcl, says: The Star has just received
the following from Fort Grant, ID: All day
Indian runners have been coming into San
Carlos Agency with reports OF the fight with
General Carr at Calscu Creek, in which
they say there were seven officers and
about one hundred men killed. They also
report an eNprcssman and seven whites
killed on their way from Thomas TO Apache
on thc3lst. The White Mountain A paclles
are the only Indians known to have been
concerned in this outbreak, and they num-
Der about four hundred braves, but others
may have been drawn to their forces.
/. If these reports are confirmed, this will
be II serious affair to the Territory rs well
as to the military. The killed are proba-
bly, General Carr, Lieutenant Carter, Dr.
AlcCrcary, Lieutenant Stanton, Lietcnant
Cruise, Captain Commanding the Sixth
cavalry, and son OF General Carr, who has
Just graduated from an Eastern college.
Two companies OF troops are being hasten
ed forward, and by Tomorrow it is believed
couriers will arrive with the particulars.
General Wilcox is moving soldiers toward
the Indians from all points that his limited
force can cover.
