General Crooks Report OF His
Operations.
SAN FRANCISCO, June ~. The follow
ing dispatch from General Crook was
received at military headquarters this
afternoon
SILVER CREEK "a. T.), twelve miles
north of the boundary, via Tombstone:
Left here May lst with one hundred and
ninety.three Apache scouts under Craw-
ford. Gatewood and Mackey, with Chat
fees company, iorty.two men OF the
Sixth cavalry and rations for two months.
ON mules. Followed the hostile Chirica-
huas; country indescribably rough; a
number of mules lost their footing,
slipping from the trail. and fell down
the precipices, and many killed. The
stronghold OF the Chiricahuas was in
the very heart of the Sierra Madres. The
position was finely watered, with dense
growth Of timber and plenty OF grass.
They had been camped near the head of
tho Bavispe, occupying prominent
elevated peaks, aifording fine lookout
for miles, rendering a surprise almost
impossible and making their retreat
secure through the rough adjacent cafi-
ons. Captain Crawford, with tie Indian
scouts, early on the morning OF May
10Th, surprised the village OF Chata,
the chief who led the recent raid into
Arizona and New Mexico. The fight
lasted all day, and the village was
wiped out. The damage done cannot
be estimated A number OF dead bodies
were found, but the indescrib ,ble
roughness. of the country prevented a
count being made. The entire camp,
with the stock and everything belonging
to it, was captured. l learned from the
prisoners taken that the Chiricahuas are
anxious for peace. and had already sent
two messengers to try and reach San Car
los. On the 18th they began to sur
render. They said their people were
much frightened by our sudden appear
ance in the fastness, and had scattered
like quails. They asked Inc to re-
main until they could gather all the
bands together, when they would
go back to the reservation. BY the
terms of the treaty my operations
were limited to the time of the
fight. | told the Chricahuas to
gather up their women and children
without delay. They answered that
they could not get them to respond to
signals, the fugitiyes fearing they might
be set by our Apache scouts to entrap
them. They told rs they had IA white
boy who was in the village jumped by
our scouts. He had run off with the
squaws who had escaped and who had
not yet been heard from. They assured
me that every Que of the band should
come in il would remain short time.
The terms OF the treaty embarrassed me
greatly and being in that rough region
with rations rapidly disal pearing, there
being between three and four hundred
Chiricahuas to feed, was compelled to
return with the Chiricahuas. We found
six Mexican captives, i've women and
one child, taken by the Chiricahuas
early in May. They are now with my
command. These women say they were
captured near the Mexican Central Rail
road, at place called Carmen. They
| further state that when the Chricahuas
discovered that the Apache scouts were
in the country, they became greatly
alarmed and abandoned on the trail the
three hundred head of cattle they were
driving away from points in Western
chihuahua These cattle were after
wards picked up and driven off by a
body of Mexicans. We marched back
as rapidly as the condition of the stock
and the strength of the women and
children would permit. Found the
country depopulated for distance of
hundred miles of the Apache stronghold.
The Chiricahua insist that they have
always lived in the Sierra Madres and
that even when the main body went
on the reservation some remained be-
hind in the mountains. OF those now
with us there are q number who state
that hey have never been on the resor-
vation. have strong hopes of being

and Names, so often reported killed, and
the families OF other prominent chiefs.
saw no Mexican troops and after leaving
the settlements in northeastern Sonora
did not see any Mexicans other than the
captives rescued. / have such assurances
from the Indians that the white boy
will be brought back, if alive, that am
looking for him every moment and will
inform you by courier.
