General Guerro, secondin command
Of the Federal troops of Northern
Mexico, in connection with troops and
parties from the States Of Sonora and
Sinaloa, has determined to give JUS
and other bands of Indians that have
been committing depredatious in
Northern Mexico a severe castigation
il they can be found, The General
boarded the Paso del Norte train last
Saturday morning, and went as far as
the Laguna station, where he met sew
ersl companies Of troops all ready for
the march. General Guerro will have
nearly 800 men under his i'm
mediate command. The number
of troops from the other mem
toned States we could not learn. The
soldiers are we'll mounted or tough
Mexican ponies, armed with an i'm
proved Remington carbine revolver
and the formidable maehete, a short
sword which the Mexican soldiers
handle very skillfuily.
The idea is to scout aud have a
general round up" particularly OF
the Businesses and strongholds Of the
Indians. General Guerro complained
very bitterly of the indian policy Of
the United States, and said the Amer
lean government ought to see their
mistake Of favOring the Indians, leav,
ing them to 60 unpublished when they
come from their thieving and killing
raids to their reservations. He thinks
an Indian can never be civilized, and

He says his. troops have orders to

reasons for such dread, for modern
science has discovered that some vir
