THE APACHE WAR.
Crooks Campaign-Capture of q Renegade
White Man.

Ell PAso, April 19.-Tucson Sta1's Il err
mosillo special. A detachment Of troops
which followed the .Apaches from the
southeast Of Ure's had several running
fights with them from Ure'sto Gambre's.
They claimed to have killed nearly the
whole band. After losing the trail of
the balance, some Of the soldiers visited
Gambre's, where a soldier, who was in
the campaign OF last year, recognized a
white maA who was with the Indians
at that time, acting chief in one OF the
fights. The soldier was wounded and
leIt on the field for dead, but was con-
scious. From his description OF the
Apache chief it was thought to be [. n.
Streeter, formerly United States. agent,
a most de- perate character, who for more
than ten years had been the leader of q
band OF Apaches. His capture proves
that he was not mistaken in the man.
Governor Torres ordered him brought to
Hermosillo, but it is doubtful if he will
be alive when the order reaches the
troops.

Portuguese Gginea.

At recent meeting Of the Geoeraph-
zeal Society, of Paris, an interesting
communication was read from M.
Claude Trouillet upon the island of
Boulam, in the archipelago of the Bis /
sagos, OF Portuguese Guinea The
island is very little known and visited,
and neither its area nor the number of
its inhabitants is known, these being de-
tails which the Portuguese are not anx-
ious to make public. Il is estimated
that tho longest part Of The island meas
ures about III miles, and the average
breadth about 81 miles. The mean
temperature ranges from about 85 de-
grees Fair. indoors, to 1O8 degrees to
III degrees Fair. in the sun. Rain.
falls abnndantly from the middle of
July to the end of August, when it
gradually diminishes in quantity till
October, which closes the rainy season
The surface of the island is regular, and
the water is neither scarce nor unwhole-
some. European vegetables thrivewell,
and among the products of the soil the
following are mentioned, rice, maize
manioc, cocoa, sugar-cane, palm oil.
Ol1S COLOd-nub tTcCS,
etc. The chief textile materials are the
rance or China-grass plant, and a
species of cotton which is too short to
be utilized. M Troillet does not speak
enthusiastically of the Portuguese ad-
ministration in Boulam. There is
Governor having the rank of colonel,
and a Harbor Master The garrison is
one hundred and thirty strong, and the
police agents number twenty There is
Secretary's Office, with various en-
ployes, and the eustom-house takes
charge of the postal service. The blacks
are fine race, but not SO powerful as
might be expected, which is probably
owing to the fact that their food con-
sists solely of rice and fruits. They
exeavate theircanoe from great trees
Although they have only their knives
for tools, they make some curious arti-
Giles and, among others, wooden. locks,
fetishes, and various small things.
Europeans generally can only remain
two or three years at a time on the
island, but there are some Frenehmen
who, after residence of ten years, still
enjoy good health.
