Military Orders,

The following is the official report of Chaffee's engagement with the Indians:
 The Department Commander is happy to announce another success of our gallant troops against the l Apaches.
 On the 17th instant Captain A. R. Chaffec, Sixth Cavalry, came up with Nan-tia-tish and his whole band of desperate renegade scouts and released Cibicu prisoners.
 The engagement took place on Big Dry Wash, misnamed "Cheve. Ions Fork" in tie dispatches; it lasted until pigh;fall, resulting in killing sixteen warriors whose bodies were found, and the capture of the hostile's camp, saddles, and reserved amniun 'tion (5OO metalic cartridges cal. .45). over 100 Horses aid m,iies GncludIng those kilied) and six squaws and children.
 Too much praise cannot be acc ord- ed to Captain Chaffee and his i'm mediate command, Troop l, Sixth Cavalry. and Company E, Indian scouts, Lieutenant Morgan, Third Cavalry commanding, and scarcely less to Major A. W. Evans, Third Cavalry, and his troops who came mp from remote post ia good time, and fought with equal bravery, Major Evans him self generously waiving the management of the fight to his junior in rank-Captain and Brevet Major Chaffee.
 Our casualties consisted of two officers, Lieutenants Morgan and Converse, Third Cavalry. wounded, one enlisted man and one Indian scout killed. and five enlisted men and one Indian scout wounded.
 The lessons taught by this fight are first, the necessity of greater precautions to prevent Indians from obtaining arms and ammunition. Second, the value of energetic and persistent pursuit however remote and hopeless it may seem at first. Third, the importance of trailing and attacking the hostiles even with inferior numbers, and holding on to them until other troops arrive on the ground. By order of
 B'yr MAJOR. GEN. WILCOX.

Somebody has been accusing tn editor of the Tombstone Republican of harboring democratic principle and being secretly in alliance witl that worn out party. "It don't go. Any intelligent reader can see th' principles of the Republican at { glance. If there are any paper: more strongly republican than il and the Citizen, we have not seen them.
 By the wayi Would it not be a good plan to arrest the officers who defended the community against the cowboys last weeks The court has decided that the cowboys were only guilty of slight. .misdemeanor, con- sequently the Marshal and posse were guilty of assault with intent to kill. It's q poor rule that won't work both ways. One party was guilty of a gross breach of the law Let us find out which party it was. By curious coincidence, the best citizens of this town seem to be of the Unanimous opinion that the Marshal and posse did exactly rigat.

FIRE AT OLYMPIA.
One of the Principal Business Blocks
Destroy Oyed---L0ss over 100000.
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE oREcoN1AN.1

ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE oREGoNIAN.
OLYMPIA, w. T., May le.-At two
O'clock this morning fire started in
the Vienna restaurant, on Main ST.,
in this city, and before long the build
ings on each side were wrapped in
flames, and before 6 O'Clock four-fifths
of one of the principal business blocks
in the city was a mass of smoking
ruins. Had 1t not been for the almost
superhuman efforts pat forth by the
citizens as well as by the firemen,
coupled with the vast amount of TO-
liage along the street, the entire busl-
ness portion of the town would have
been totally destroyed. The following
list of losses have been hastily gathered
and will give some idea of the extent
of the calamity: Tuite & Holmes,
tinneK loss $1,000, insurance $1,000;
Joseph Cnilberg, merchant, $1,000, to-
tai loss; c. II. Talcott, jeweler, loss
$4,000, insurance Sl4OO; Toklas & Co.,
loss $4,000, insurance $1,000; w. H.
Clark, stock fully insured, loss $1,000;
Courier Office, loss $1,000, caused by
breakage in moving; Julius Clapper,
baker, two buildings, loss $1,000; Wright
saddler, loss 5000; r. Frost, loss $l0,-
900, insurance $500; Mrs. Engeley
milliner, loss $1,000, insurance $500;
Vienna Restaurant, kept by w. Smith
loss $1,000, no insurance; w. J. Doane,
oysterman, floss $500; p. Hiltz, beer
saloon, $500; J. n. Gale, post Office,
S4O0 (the mail was saved by clerk,
Lyman Mann); j. McCarragher, loss
500; Jacob Ortt, $500.
Too much praise cannot be given to
the ladies for the assistance rendered,
especially Miss Mary O'Neill and
Miss Addie Wood, both of whom
worked like brave heroines. There
were quite number of minor losses,
which will probably make the total
loss, exclusive OF insurance, in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Fortunately
no lives were lost and no accidents
occurred, although hundreds Of car
tridges exploded during the fire.
There is a great scarcity of mechan-
les here, and good workmen can find
plenty of employment II they come
here. A large body Of immigrants
arrived from San Francisco last night,
who intend taking up land in Cheha-
lis valley. The rain which fell this
morning helped to extinguish the fire
and kept the wind down, thus saving
the rest Of the town from destruction.

when at Gettysburg they sounded the
advance of the Twenty-fourth Michi-
gan to their immortal work. The con-
duct of the Twenty-fourth Michigan

OF all the deeds these old sticks ever
witnessed, there was never anything
finer than the fighting of this Michi-

that dreadful day the regiments col

and three wounded"

and heading the mouInful procession
which followed many a warrior to his
rest. In all our wars, of more than
one hundred years, these veterans
have saluted the rising and the setting

daily adding new proofs of its adapta-
