A RENEGADE BAND.
The Chirieahua Indians to Blame for the
Present Troubles.


/ WASHINGTON, March 27.-Agent Will
cox at the San Carlos Agency, Arizona,
telegraphs that no Indians are off his
reservation, and that he is confident that
the depredating Indians are portions of
Johns band, from Old Mexico.
General Crook telegraphs from Whipple
Barracks to Secretary Teller as
follows: ''The Outrages just report
ed have been committed by small
raiding party of Chiricahua Apaches,
coming back from Mexico, where they
nave been living since they left here, a
year ago. Up to the present moment
seven persons are known to have been
killed on our side of the boundary. The
troops are in pursuit. So far as the threats
made by the people of Tombstone are
concerned. L am in full sympathy
with them. and should be glad to
learn that the last of the Chiricahuas was
under the ground. They are an incOrrigi-
bic lot. Ten years ago, when the other
Apache bands were whipped on to the
reservation, the Chiricahuas were spe-
cially exempted by the government from
this same subjugatiOn. Since then il is
believed that they have killed not less
than 1000 persons in this country and
Mexico. They are constantly trying to
stir up mischief among the agency In
dians, and as long as they can run back
and forth across the border OF this
territory and New Mexico, we
must look out for trouble. They
are the worst band of Indians in America.
The agency Indians are behaving well.
Not one has left San Carlos, and their as
sistance can be relied upon in case all the
Chlricahuas return. as they may do if
they are pressed by the Mexican troops
or If they desire to plumber"
Secretary Teller, in reply to General
Crook, telegraphed as follows: "Iour
telegram received, for which accept my
thanks. L agree with you that the rene
gade band must be subiugated or de-
strOyed. The interest of the whites and
peaceable Indians alike demand this"
CINCINNATI, March PA special dis
patch from Globe, Arizona, says that
man was killed at STEMS Pass, y. NJ,

terday by two Apaches. 1t is supposed
