OFFICIAL REPORT


 OFFICIAL REPORT
 To the Department Commander contain irg the number of the killed, their names with the exception of few Mex jeans who were not identified, and the neighborhOOd in which they were killed. This report VII doubtless soon be made public. l can assure you that not more than one-third of the number so re- ported were killed.
 REP.-Do you think the country IS now free from hostile Indians? GEN. W. Yes; I do not believe that today there is hostile Indian in the Territory, except, perhaps, few strag- glers from LocO's band who are striving to steal back to the reservation, and the only danger to be apprehended from them is when they suddenly come upon isolated parties whom they deem 1t necessary to kill to prevent their pres ence and movements being known.
 REP.-Did you learn any additional particulars of Major Tupper's fight with the hostiles, near the Mexican bound ary?
 GEN. W.-While absent l met Lieut.. Dorr, Twelfth Infantry, who commaded company of Indian scouts during that engagement. Knowing him to be a con- potent and thoroughly reliable young officer, I asked him to give me such de- tails of the fight as came under his Ob- servation. He informed me that Major Tuppers telegraph report of theafair was prepared in great aste before full particulars could be obtalned, and that in addition to the fifteen dead left on the field, whicl he reported killed, the next day there were found the bodies of six more bucks, one or two of them be- ing tied in the branches of trees, making in all killed, twenty bucks besides five or six squaws. Among the dead was an Indian wearing Capt Sterling's moca- sins and vest, who had Gn his person s70 in American money. Seventy three head of stock were captured. From the Lieutenant's description, which I be- Eeve to be strictly reliable, the fight was
 sPLENDIDLY PLANNED AND EXECUTED. For instance, Major Tupper ascertained where the Indians were camped for the night. 4 council was held and it was decided to make forced march in the night, and by stealthily creeping up, oper fire on them at daybreak. In or der to successfully accomplish this. Lieuts. Dorr and Bailey, iD command of the scouts, marched with tn 1T h. dlans for four miles over stones and cac- tus, in the dark, with nothing but socks on their feet, and they barely got in position by daybreak. The movements of the scouts was 30 successfully earned out that they got within hundred feet of the camp of the hOstiles. At this time four bucks and a squaw were stand ing by the fire, and at tue first volley all fire were killed. The surprised Indians at once sprang to their arms and took shelter behind the rocks among which

Def.n.e Of Captain Madden.

CAMP HENTIG, 4. T., May :, 1882.
 To Col. D. PERRY, 9th Cavulry-Sir: We have just seen iu the Dos Cabezas Gold Note telegram from Mir C. C. Clute relative to the conduct of Captain Madden in the Pinery canyon, on the 26th nit. This telegram is SO unjust in its criticism Of Captain Madden that We feel 1t incumbent upon us to furnish you a correct account of the matter.
 Captain Madden moved his command from the Pinery creek up the canyon at as early an hour in the morning as pos sible. As We approached the mouth of the canyon smoke appeared upon tLe summit of the mountains. Captain Madden and all of us h lieved it to be a signal fire. We proceeded in the direc- ton of the fire and on reaching the mouth of the canyon the scouts and a detachment of cavalry. with a party of citizens, were thrown to the front In this order we marched until We reached Mir. Clute's residence. or course the scouts would have discovered all Indian trails had there been any. None were discovered, nor were any Indians dis covered. When We arrived at Mr. Clute's house we weIe told by him, on inquiry, that he would not leave his works if his men would stay with him, but that they were all going away under protection of the tro"ps. The traI having been proved clear of Indians, Nr Clute's em ployses, the women and children, and several wagons and a herd of mul &, were removed from the canyon to a place of safety.
 The citizens at AIr. Clute's told us that the fire on the mountains had been burning for two days. that it was brush on fire. Tie Indians had not attacked NIT. Clute's place. While We were at 1Ir. Clute's tl e Indians were moving ont of the mountains and stealing Mir Whites horses. He struck their trail the next day and followed it.
 Every exertion that was necessary was made to discover the Indians about NIT. Clute's house, none could be discovered, and We are satisfied tlut none were there in the mountains. Itwas thought unnecessary to pass through to the eastern side of the mountains, as we knew the troops were there. As We were leaving Mr. Clate S house a citizen met us, and reported tha: he had found the Indian camp, and that there had been about fifteen of them there, ten were knoyRto have passed Nr. Whites ranch.
 NIT. Clute was very hospitable and polite to the officers and soldiers while at his house, aI his uniustifiabIe attack upon Captain Madden IS inexplicable.

MR Par KELLEY was gentleman and
 would not steal, but he would borrow things that did not belong to him. and, ! when they were once in his p secession, 1t was easy enough to imagine that they were his own. But opinions as to pos | sessory rights iu property have been known to differ and, IL this case, the views of Judge Meyers and Kelley were widely at variance. Kelley charged the ! Judge nothing for his opinion, but the Judge charged Kelley twent, five dol lars. Kelley had no n ney but offered | tW enty. five days labor on the new court house as an equivalent winch the obhg- ing Judge accepted. Kelley began work Tuesday morning and by quitting time Thursday night will have vhittled O. the small end ofhis task and the court-hOu>e e will be that much nearer completion. Things are not always what they seem and by the Ii ne that Kelley gets his g additional days in he will begin to think so too.

For few moments the on looking crowd were delighted, but as the battle went against their race, they, one after the other sailed in and went to earth, and not until the odds were eight to one could the Chinaman be down q. On regaining his feet he cursed them for their unfairness and offered to fight any two railroad men in the town. Since then he has repeated his challenge and had no takers. The Farmers Journal, from which the above is a condensed account, says Tt must be rather humil- iating for the white men 10 be obliged to confess the physical superiority and courage of the Chinaman.'
