plans the southern PacIac.

Il decision in the matter OF the CLAIM
of that road to the land grant of tn,
Texas Pacific before Congress meet
The plan seems to be to indace Sc,
retaIy Teller to refer the matter to tn,
Attorney General. For reasons bes
known to themselves they appear tt
be of the opinion that they could get
a favorable decision from the Attor-
ney>General. There is pretty gocd
reasons to tRink, however, that Sec
Ietary Teller has no intention of ask
ing the Attogney-General for an
opinion. He IS as good r lawyer as
the Attorney-Ge General, has examined
the case, and is understood not &c
need any advice about il. White Mr.
Teller will not publicly state what
his views are he is not disposed to
favor the Southern Pacific claim.

On the War Path Again.
WILCOX, A. T., June 30.-1he In
dians are reported in Ash canyon
near the Arizona and New Mexico
line. The cavalry are in pursuit.
They are no doubt some of the CHR
icahuas who were to have been at
The reservation several days since
but who have been detained through
! the knowledge of the fact that they
could not enter Upon the reservation
as The Chiricahuas who surrendered
TO Crook have been held by the mil
itary authorities. These hostlles
are incensed at what they considered
breach of faith. and another 1nur-
derots raid may be anticipated, as
these are the most savage of the
Apache tribes and are greatly feared
by the rest of the Indians. Other
bands will shortly make their ap
pearance on their way to the reser>
vation, but as soon as they hear that
those who returned with Crook are
held as prisoners, they will doubtless
return to Mexico, and, as usual. leave
q bloody trail behind them.
