Learned from prisoners taken that
the Chiricahuas were anxious for
peace, and had already sent two mes
sengers to try ana reach San Carlos
On the 18th they began to surrender.
They SAID their people were much
frightened by our sudden appearance
in their fortresses, and had scattered
like quail. They asked me TO remain
until tney could gather ali the bands
together, when they would go back
TO the reservation. By terms of
the treaty my operations were limit
ed to time of fight. l told the Chiri-
cahuas to gather up their women
and children without delay. They
answered that they could not get
them to respond to the signal fires
as the fugitIves were afraid they
might be set by our Apache scouts
to entrap them. They told US they
had white boy, who was at the vii
lage jumped by our scouts, bct he |
had run off with the squaws who !
had escaped, and who had not vet |
been heard from. They assured me
that every one of the band should |
come in if L would remain a short
time The terms of the treaty en-
barassed me greatly, and being in
he rough re- elon with rations rapid
" disappearing, there being between
hree and four hundred Chiricahuas
