though Commander Smith has been

manding Department OF Arizona
The secretary OF the interior has shown
the secretary OF war telegraphic dispatches
from Agent Wilcox aying, "The Renecsde
Indians were forced on the reservation the
2ith inst" As the secretary

OF the 18th instant gives special directions
TO Keep the prisoners apart from the In.

"hirfLk bARsAcxs, June -. To the Adult.
GmtGenersl Of the Army, Washington:
Inc report that the Ohiracuhuas have
been forced on San Carlos reservation
is incorrect. The facts in tSs
case are that those vho
had surrendered, were sent forward under
2 guard OF four companies OF cavalry and
Indian scouts. My instructions to the
captain being that the Chirscuhuss should
DO kept with the scouts till other Ar.
rangements would be made.
The Chiracuhuas who went after their
families told me they would ioin the col.
umn at the line, or should va have vone
too fast then they would follow Along
the mountains and come In at San
Carlos. We have no means of communi.
eating with them till they come In At
the agency. and II the first arrivals find
those who atarted back with us are not with
the scouts, we destroy all chances OF ever
reducing them TO state OF peace The In.
dians Of San Carlos are In no danger of be.
Ing contaminated by contact with
the Ohiracuhuas. As a matter of humanity
i am anxious to get In the last Of this band
80 as to leave nothing undone for the recov,
cry Of the captive boy.
