WASHINGTON, April 2.-Information has
been received at the headquarters Of the
army from the United States consul general
at MatamOras, concerning the Apaches in
northern Mexico, which tends to strengthen
the belief that little Charley McComas was
killed by his captors. From talks with the
Apache squaws at Chihuahua, recently cap
tured by the Mexicans, there can be but little
doubt of it. Ju is said to be still alive, and
with about twenty bucks is not over 100
miles north of Chihuahua. 1t is reported in
that country if General Crook had supplies
enough in his Mexican campaign to have re-
NAMED in the mountains fortnight longer,
Ju and every Apache in those mountains
would have come in. General Crook was
compelled to move too soon on account OF
this large number Of squaws and children.
JONES TO BE TRIED THIS MONTH.

of Vim. Jones, charged with attempting to
kill the assassin Guiteau, in November 1881,
by shooting into the prison van as it was
taking Guiteau from the court house to the
jail, was set for trial April 2Sth.
CUBAN FILLIBUsTERs.
information, originating with Spanish
Consul West, was received by Secretary
Folger through the state department chan
nels last Saturday evening, to the effect that
Cuban revolutionary expedition was being
organized at Key West, by Aguorro, and
that he had collected 100 well armed men
and stores Of explosives.
The expedition might be expected to de-
part from our shores at an early day. Orders

dores of the revenue cutter Governor
Dix, supposed to be at Key West, and Geo.
S. Boutwell,, at Savannah, to take steps i'm
mediately to prevent such a violation of law,
and instructions were also telegraphed to
two special agents of the treasury depart
ment, one in Florida, and the other in
Georgia, to proceed to Key West, and assist
in any needed investigation. The Dix,
however, had left Key West, for Cedar Keys,
300 miles distant, and the messages
to her commodore, reached him only
Monday, when he arrived at Cedar Keys.
The Dix started back Immediately, and moth
ing since is heard from her at the depart
ment, but no doubt is entertained she started
in pursuit of the tilibustering schooner, as
stated in the press dispatch from Key West
early this morning. 1t is alleged the delay
in starting is accounted for by the necessity
of coaling after cruise to Cedar Keys, as
the Dix is under steam, and capable of max
ing ten or eleven knots an hour. 1t is be-
Iieved she will early overhaul the small sail
ing vessel, unless the latter diverts from its
usual course to Cuba, and evades the direct
pursuit by temporary concealment
along our shores. The Bout
well which was put in order
at Savannah last Sunday, and left that port
Sunday evening, has probably by this time
reached a position to aid in work of the
search or capture, but nothing has been
heard from her since she departed, and our
governor was similarly informed several
months ago. that ilibustering expedition
against Cuba was said to be organizing at
New Orleans, and several of our revenue
vessels were continuously on watch for it
ever since, but without discovering any at
tempt at evasions of the law.
