The Indian Trouble at San Carlos.

Tucson, April 20th.-The military wires are so
crowded that it is impossible to get the details OF
the Indian trouble Carlos. The military have
moved with promptness and are endeavoring to Sc
cure every possible pass through which the band
may attempt to go through to get into Mexico
Governor Trite has used prompt measures to notify
settlers Of the trouble. He has also telegraphed to
Governor Sheldon, of New Mexico. The following
dispatches have Just been received by him:
GLOBE, April I9th.--Commiseoned officers A.
Bailey and D. B. Lacy Captains, have $50 stand Of
arms, and can muster 250 armed men. Loco, Vic
toria's chief, with band OF 45 bucks, besides
sduaws and children left San Carlos this morning
on the warpath going east. Before leaving they
killed Sterling, the Chief OF Police and private.
They took in freight wagon between San Carlos
and the sub agency, killed the stock, and it is re-
ported killed the driver. Troops and fifty scouts
under Schofsld and Dan. Wing are in close pursuit.
1t is reported that Stevens, herder, is killed II
60 probably part OF Juh's band are operating in
that neighborhood. The Indians at San Carlos are
quiet
SAN CARLOS, April 19th.-Early this morning the
Warm Spring Indians, numbering about 300 40 of
them being men, left, after killing A D. Sterling
and an Indian policeman. They had gone to that
camp to see if everything was all right. Sterling
had received Information that some renegades
were on the reservation, and had induced
four bucks aud thirty squaws to leave
the branch agency during the night The
military at Thomas and Whipple were at once noti
fed. The trail leads in the direction OF Thomas
Mexico The immediate cause of the trouble is be
ieved to be the ling of the four Indian prisoners
who attempted to escape 4 few days ago from c
agency prison, who were implicated in the Cibicu
emeute. The fact that Locos band refused to plant
crops this season has caused them to be looked
on with suspicion and for the last few DAYS it was
believed that they were in close communication with
Juh's renegade's in Sonora LOcOs tribe and the
Chrcahuas are related, and always operate together
Loco and Vicoro were captains OF the Gila Apactes
O branch Of the Mescaaoces, which tribe intermXes
ard co-operates with the Southern Chircahuas
AT the time of the iChirieahuas outbreak last fall
Loco was left on the reservation with the families
Of Victories tribe and those OF JGh II it is true
that Juh has returned, he came for the purpose Of
taking the Loco party and the families mentioned
to Mexico The route these new hostiles viii take
will probably be through the Burro mountains in
New Mexico, and if ali the families do not accom-
pany them they will hereafter stray away in small
parties and join them.
Still Another Acc0unt.
