TUE APACHEs
Not 80 Black as They are
Painted-.Why False Re-
ports are Sent Out.

A letter from an officer with Gen.
Crook, dated April IS, has this to say
about Apache difficulties in Arizona:
"The papers here, as you will re-
mark, have been making most malls
cious assaults upon the General, but
it only needs q little analysis to show
the true inwardness of their venom.
One of the most blatant is owned
partly by an ex,Indian agent, while its
editor used to secure big slices of fat
from San Carlos, The papers in an
other town are anxious to have the
military headquarters removed to that
point, while Tucson is in the same
boat. The reports telegraphed so per-
sistently are lies out Of the whole
cloth. There are no hostile Indians in
this Territory; not one has left San
Carlos. General Crook has not given
orders to take no prisoners. This last
is a lie. The General has worked
hard, going in person to Sonora and
chihuahua to hunt up the Mexican
Generals to arrange plans with them,
and has picked out another 100 Apa>
che scouts. Before another week we
will be away from here. The drunken
bummers Of Tombstone have organized
a company of rangers, whose object,
pure and simple, is the massacre of
Apache squaws and children on the
San Carlos reservation just as soon as
Gen. Crook gets away the young men.
You know the people Of Tucson sent
out force in 1871, which killed
eighty.fve women and children, many
of the latter at their mothers breast
Gen. Crook will stand no such atroci-
ties, and has sent word 10 the Apaohes
on the reservation to be ready to de-
fend themselves. They will certainly
kill the last deadbeat who attempts
to modest them and no one will
mourn"

Conflicting Reports as to Its
AfIairs-What is said I'm
Wall Street.

The Wall Street News says: The
curious action of Louisville aud Nash
vile is not comforting to the stock
holders. In spite OF the promises held
out by certain parties of coming rise
the price of the stock is orumbling
away, much as it did last year before
it took its final tumble Of about thirty
points. The fact that the fixed charges
Of the road are much greater aud its
operating expenses have increased
during the past year are not regarded
as favorable circumstances. A very
large amount of interest is due June /
and report is to the effect that as the
earnings of the road have not been
sufficient to accumulate for its pay
ment stock must be sold to meet it.
In fact, it is said that this is going on
now and that most of the shares un-
loaded are from the bag. Whether
this view be correct or not. all signs
point to the theory that it is good
thing to get out of until the mystery of
its curious action comes to light.
The Daily Stakeholder says: As
matter of fact, we have reasons to be-
lieve that the company RENTED to
London on Thursday last that portion
of the June interest due on the ster
ling loan, which amounts to $245, 900
on the whole issue. 1t seems at least
improbable that so much money as is
payable in London should have been
sent forward by mail when, if needed,
it could have been retained and re-
mitted later by cable. The claim that
the company does not earn its fixed
charges is simply ridiculous. On the
basis of last years operating expen-
ses, according to the official estimates,
the company should have for the nine
months already passed a surplus over
fixed salaries of something like $780,
600 which, with the same rate Of in
crease, maintained to the end of
the year, would leave over 81 100000
applicable to dividends. OF course, it
is reasonable to assume that these
figures are, perhaps, somewhat exag
Grated, but they certainly do not sus-
tain the charge that the road does not
earn its fixed charges. The trouble
with Louisville is that because of past
indiscretion it is in bad odor, and, as
we have before said, the street is al
ways ready to believe anything said
about it. The delivery on the street
last week of certain certificates issued
in 1880 to former official of the COM
pany, has had bad effect, and it is
only reasonable, in the absence Of
general buying, to expect the stock to
sell somewhat lower; but we regard it
as specially dangerous stock to be
short OF at present prices.

made an engagement to accompany a

she was going, but neglected to say
she had secured an escort. He ap-
peared to be pleased, and said that he
would accompany her. This was
more than she bargained for, and she
resorted to various expedients to get
him to stay at home. The more
reasons she gave the more he was
determined to 20. Things were getting

her. She took the old gentleman 4

the evening came he was still without
