 SAN FRArcIsco, March 31.-Alfred Tobin, a gentleman of thIs city has just returned from an extended visit to Mexico and Arizona, during which be had an opportunity of judging of the troubles at present existing with the murderous Apaehes. He says, in con nection with the persistent annoyance to which the white settlers are subjected, that the finest land in Arizona IS wholly at the mercy of the savages, who refuse to allow any Improvements to be made upon them, and which are wholly value- less from lack of cultivation. This IS particularly the case at the head waters of the Hsqui river, where the lOwlands are covered with vegetation and which might, under the influence of the whites, be transferred into growing fields. Naturally they feel incensed at the re- fussl of the Indians to allow any pro- gress to be made in this direction.
 Referring to a statement made by Crook that the Indians on the San Carlos res ervstion were meek as church lambs, and under no pretense could be induced to violate their allegiance to the great chief, he said the utter falsity of that statement was proved by an accident that recently occurred during his trip up the Sonora road. A fight had taken place between some Mexicans and a band of Apaches. in which four of the latter were killed. Examination of the bodies disclosed the fact that these h. dians belonged to Crooks proteges, as the blankets worn by them were marked with the tag winch Is affixed to the h. dians of the San Carlos agency. To such extent had the whites been eIss- perated that they formed themselves In- to a secret party for the sTowed purpose of the extermination of the Apaches, and pledged themselves to shoot every mothers son of them on sight, and thus effectually put an end to further troubles from that sOurce.
