FURTHER PARTICULARS OF HIS DEFEAT OF THE
APACHEs.
dispatch from Tombstone, Arizona, May 27th,
says that Mexican courier, wh0arrived the night
previous, reported that the battfe between Crook
and the Indians was thought to have occurred on
the 18th or 18th inst When within two days
march of the Rio Capagochi Crooks advance sklr-
mish line was jumped by the hostiles. Five
Apache scouts were killed at the first fire, and the
officer In command, supposed to be Capt. Chaf1ee,
was wounded. The scouts then fell back upon
the main column. general advance was ordered.

Ing in Chihuahua, feel confident Of his safety.
WHAT ADJUTANT GENERAL DRUM SAYS.
Adjutant General Drum had this morning re-
ceived no further information regarding Gen.
Crooks indian campaign. He firmly believes
that the report OF Crooks victory is the correct
one, and discredits entirely the vague rumor that
his forces have been massacred by the Indian
Scouts In answer to questions as to the grounds
OF his belief, he said: "I don't think Crook mas
been turned upon by his scouts for three reasons:
First because % II any one understands the charac-
terlst1cs and nature OF the Indians, Gen. Crook
does, and. with this knowledge, they could hardly
carry out their treachery In a body without his
being forewarned TO some extent: secondly, the
wives and children OF these scouts are in the
hands of the military authorities in Arizona, and
this fact would have great weight in preventing
any act OF treachery on their part; thirdly, when
was In RI Paso left particular Instructions that
II any information Was received, with the least
chance OF credibiltty, to forward it to Washington
at once"
WILL COME OUT ALL RIGHT.
Special Agent Townsend, OF the Indian depart
ment, who has just returned from an extended
trip through Arizona, told STAR reporter that he
did not think that Gen. Crook was in danger ex-
cept from lack OF supplies, and that he would
come out all right.
