WAsH1SeroS, March 2S.-The following
kilograms were received at the Depart
ment Of the Interior:
SAN CARLOS. \. T., March 25.-To
Teller, Secretary, Washington: Except
ing those in the vicinity Of Camp Apache,
all the reservation Indians came in this
morning, and were carefully counted, and
all were present or accounted for beyond a
reasonable doubt. I am very confident
that the Indians committing the depreda-
tons are of Juh's band Of renegades
from Old Mexico. The Indians here with
out exception express a desire to fight the
renegades if they come, and show no
signs Of dissatisfaction. On the contrary,
they are well disposed.
(Signed) WILCOX, Agent.
WHIPPLE BARRACKS, A. T., March 90
To Secretary Teller: YOU dispatch re-
ceived. The outrages just reported have
been committed by a small raiding band OF
Chiricahus Apaches, coming back from
Mexico, where they have been living since
they left here a year ago. Up to the pres
ent moment seven persons are known TO
nave been killed on our side Of the bound
airy. Troops are in pursuit. So far as
the threats made by the people Of Tomb
stone are concerned | am IN full sympathy
with them, and should be glad to learn
that the last Of the Chiricahuas was un-
foreground. They are an incorrigible lot.
Ten years ago, when the other Apache bands
were whipped on to the reservation, the
Chiricahuas were especially exempted by
the Government from this s~ubjugation.
Since then it is believed that they have
killed not less than / GOO persons in this
country and in Mexico. They are con-
stantly trying to stir up mischief among
the agency Indians, and so long as they
can run back and forth across the border
of this Territory and New Mexico we must
look ont for trouble. They are the worst
band Of Indians in America. The agency
Indians are behaving we'll. Not one has
left San Carlos, and their assistance can
be relied upon in case all the Chiricahuas
return, as they may do if pressed by the
Mexican troops or the desire of plumber.
(Sigued) GEORGE CROOK, Brig. Gen.
Secretary Teller, in reply to Gen. Crook,
te~legraphed as follows: Your telegram re-
ceived, for which accept thanks. I agree
with you that the renegade band must be
subjugated or destroyed. The interests of
the whites and OF peaceable Indians alike
demand it.
SANTA FE, March 2S.-Gen. Mckenzie
received a dispatch from Col. Forsyth to
the effect that on Monday VIM. Beach's
camp on the ella River, III Arizona, was
attacked and two men killed by Indians.
Tuesday morning, five miles south of the
ella River, at Swings Ranch, Arizona,
five men were killed. The Indians are be-
lieved to be San Carlos renegades, going
out to join the renegades who have been
lately depredating in Arizona, and who
are believed to be on the way to Mexico.
Col. Forsyth had been ordered out with
four companies of the Fourth Cavalry,
and has reached the scene and taken up
the trail of the hostiles. Information to
the effect that Gen. Fuero of the Mexican
army has a large body of troops ready in
chihuahua and Sonora, in order to inau-
gurate a rigorous campaign against these
Indians, has been received. The recent
murders and other depredations have been
confined to Arizona.
Condition OF the Dukes Affair.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, March 2S.-In the
same bed on which the body of Captain
Mutt lay as his life blood sped away his
murderer, Dukes, slept last night after
receiving the citizens notice to fix up his
business and leave town in "a hours. He
remained all day locked up in his room.
When the "a hours expired at noon to-day
and Dukes had not left and it was known
that he intended to remain and brave the
consequences, his few friends advised him
to stay quiet. A conference has been held
during the day, the citizens meeting by
twos and threes to discuss the best means
of Kidding the town Of the man who thus
deties public sentiment. The trouble is as
to the method by which this shall be &C.
complished. If he were to show himself
on the streets the problem would soon be
solved, but he remains behind lock and
key in a back room in jennings Hotel.
Jennings is a reputable citizen, and there
Is hesitancy about making an assault on
his house. Dukes owes his safety, since
noon to-day, to public respect for Jen-
nings, but whether this will save him
many hours longer is uncertain as the
feeling is becoming more intense. Dukes,
it is said, is ready to fight to the death.
He fears Nuts Oldest son, James, more
than any other man. His mother had
great difficulty in d~issuading him from
killing Dukes before the trial. 1t ia be-
lieved here, since the law failed, the son
has fully made up his mind to avenge the
death Of his father. Miss Lizzie Mutt, the
daughter over whom all the trouble &C.
Cured, is also said to be practicing with
a revolver with the intention Of shooting
her seducer and the murderer Of her father.
be Long and His Comrades.
New YORK, March 25.-prof. Newcomb
Of Salem, taxidermist of the Jeanette
expedition, has just received a letter from
St. Petersburg, stating that the bodies of
De Long and his comrades are between
Buleen and Y%akentsk, in Siberia, and are
being conveyed by dog or reindeer sleds.
The bodies are sewed in deer skins. The
interpreter Of the HARDER search party de.
scribes the condition OF their faces as fol-
lows: The faces are quite white, the eyes
have disappeared and the e%xtremities are
black. This interpreter is a very intelli-
gent Dane. He further stated that in the
whaleboat OF the Jeanette he and Lieut..
HARDER thoroughly explored the Siberian
coast. but 20 traces Of Lieut.. Chipps' party
vera discovered. Tie bodies Of Capt. De
Long and his eomrades will probably be
detained in Yakentsk until October or No
vember, as the country ia well nigh i'm
passable during the Summer months,
owing to the numerous bogs and morasses.
