THE INDIANS SURROUNDED.

dispatch says: No news of Importance
from Doubtful Canyon since yesterdays
dispatches. FOrsythe is reported to be
in the canyon Oh the east side of STEMS
Peal range, taking things very easy, and
affOrding the hOstiles every facility for
escape. 1t looks very much like another
military farce over the Indian question.
The troops had the Indians completely
surrounded at Doubtful Canyon and
Horse Shoe Canyon, Saturday night last,
but it is now feared they will escape.
An uncOnhTmed report is current of two
prOspectOrs having been killed yesterday
fourteen miles north of here, on the
ella road. Mckenzie is said to be en-
route to join FOrsythe and take COM
mand in person.

the Indians announced to me that four
| of the scouts were killed by large num-
ber of ChiTahuahuas, and that Lieuten-

| defending themselves against them. L
| gallOped for sixteen miles to them and
| found the Indians strongly entTenched
in Stems Peak Range. Attacked them
at once and drove them from their en-
| trenched position. They fell back and
occupied two impTegnable positions
which were from six to eighteen feet
| high. Found it impossible to dislOdge
them without great loss. | gave up
| further operations at > o'clock and
started again for Richmond My loss
was four Indian scouts and one private,
troop G, killed, one sergeant and four
priyates wounded. | know of a certain
ty that two of the enemy were killed
and number wounded. Captured and

who will take this dispatch to Lords
burg. L am compelled to go to ella

will try and get these Indians in the

you more favorable report. The num-
ber of Indians l fought to-day was be-
tween sixty and one hundred. 1t was
impossible to do more under the ciTcum-
stances. The canyon was the worst L
ever saw.

TUCSON, April 26-At mass meeting
of several thousand citizens held last
night, it was unanimously directed that
the following be sent, and was imme-
diately wired as an open letter to the
President and his Cabinet, and both
houses of Congress:
ulluS bllC lhOAuO1u W lll0
grand military display announced to
take place at Fortress Monroe, we beg
to offer you as a skeleton to sit at your
banquet, the fact that nearly 100 of our
pioneers have within a few days been
murdered in cold blood by the devilish
Apaches whom cruel and mistaken
policy permits to survive their crimes.
If some small portion of the expendi-
ture occurring in your grand display
could be devoted to such measures as
would preclude the probability of an in
crease in the list of our murdered dead,
we could send you greeting of graft
tude and cheer, in place of this message
of our sorrow and helplessness, and our
desOlatiOn.
