CHICAGO, Oct. GA special despatch from
chihuahua, Mexico, says: The Apaches, under
Juh and Geronimo, have outgeneraled the
officer in command of the troops at Casas
Grande Their m sn9uvres have been most
skilfully executed. The Mexican officials en-
deavored to get both chiefs in camp at once

the war of years. Parleys we're made for some
days, but Juh came into camp one day and
Geronimo another In the meantime, both
knowing that Gen. Guerra, commander in

left for the city of Mexico, planned and car

ly owned by Gov. Terrazas and Henry Miller,
the wealthiest citizens of the State, the In
dians surprised the herders and got away with
seventy horses, well broken, and of much
value. Three ADaches only did this. They
stole mule and two horses from Santa
Clara rancho, owned by Miller, fifty miles
from Encinilss, and got fifteen hours start of
their pursuers. All along the foothills of the
Sierra Madre they have worked the same
game. These are the most desperate raids
ever made by the savages. They are making
for Arizona and have at least 1000 horses
among which are so Mexican cavalry horses
They are pursued by all the Mexican soldiers
and citizens who have arms. Hopes are en-
tertained that the United States forces will
head them off.
