WOefuI Plight OF the MescaIerO
Apaches.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs has just received
the following telegram from Indian Agent
Lewellyn concerning the apprehended trou-
BILE with the Mescalero Apaches in New
Mexico:
MEsCALERo AGENCY, May 16-(By
courier via Fort Stanton, May 10.-T0 the
Commissioner Of Indian AfairS, Washington :
In view of the failure OF Congress 10 make
appropriations for subsisting the Indians,
and In view of the fact that the beef and
-four on hand will only last until about July
1st, and that these Indians have no means
of subsisting themselves, it seems to me
that twill be policy to transfer them to the
War Department, which should take care
of them, before starvation compels them to
commit depredstions which will naturally
lead to great loss OF life and
the destruction of valuable property. AS
soon as supplies are cut off the military will
have to act Therefore, l think 1t advisable
for the troops to take charge of the Mescalero
Apaches at once. Nothing short of force
can compel them to remain on their reser-
vation and starve. The action of Congress
in this matter simply means the Mescaleros'
determination. LLEwELLYN, Agent"

York, and five other passengers remained
on the steamer Rio Grande to assist her
crew.
The fire was first discovered in the lower
