 SAN CARLOS, ..ril 5.-Under the most searching examlDation, Penaltisch, the captured Chiricahua, has steadily de- nied that the hostiles had been joined by any reservation Indians since the 18th of April, 1882. He gave the names of the leaders of the two bands engaged in the recent raids, the location of theIr stronghold in old Mexico, the date of leaving it, the number of each raidIng band and the details of the movements of his own party until soon after the murder of Judge McCOmas and his wife, when he left for the reservation to learn the temper of the agency Indians and the disposition of the authorities to- wards Juh's band should they seek the reservation. The events of the past few days have satisfied me that no hostile Indians can find secure harbor on this reservation. Nearly all tine Indians here are showing a lively interest In the work of preventing it. WILCOX, Agent.
