was great excitement at the agencies hero
this morning when Capt. Crawford, COM
manding four companies of cavalry, with two
hundred and fifty Indian scouts, came to the
reservation. Lieut. Davis met them two
miles from the post, and after congratulations
and inquiries as to the Chiricahuas, the
party camo on to the agency. Chief
Loco and his family headed the hostiles.
Loco, Mana, and Bonito were met by
Indians acquainted with them. Mana
said he was too old for further operations
and was glad he had arrived at a safe place
Low said he was anxious to get settled once
more. Bonito has no friends, but seems glad
TO be under tho protection Of Gen. Crook. The
exact number of the arrivals is not yet known
The officers of the command think the Chiri-
huas will be peaceful. Chief Geronimo in his
first talk with Gen. Crook after the capture,
said he would like TO have "a farm. Rumors h had
reached the Indians that in case of capture they
would he put in irons and killed, hence they
say their delay in coming in. While the Indians
rImors have bad effect on his plans. There
arc people willing to see the hostiles on the
war path, IS then more military would be
brought into tho territory; making busir ess
better. As an evidence of what Gen. Crook
has to contend with, it may be stated that
six miles from Wilcox several persons APP
preached the hotties with tho intention Of
