| Though additional news Of tho terrible
| Indian massacre in Mexico has been TO
ceived in Denver, 1t Is not yet known just
when the lnliaus rose and under whose
| leadership they were at the time they com
| mittcd the horrible outrages, which have
just come light. Definite details cannot
be asoertained, owing to the heavy storm
| which has been raging in Colo; ado,
| Mexico and the adjoining states and terri
tories, prostratiug telegraph lines.
The first intelligence was received from
| Albuquerque, New Mexico, by which II
appears that on Monday last band OF
about eighty Apaches made their appear
| ance Just outside the village of Jamoz,
| Mexico. The few inhabitants of the
| place were demOralizcd, aud prepared tor
| Instant fight the Indians, however, did
not seem disposed to cause any bloodshed,
and were satisfied with driving of about
| fifty head of cattle, the residents OF
| JamC2 not caring to show any hostility.
| The marauders went OIL In the direction
OF q small bamlet, named san Miguel, on
arriving at which point the Apaches began
the horrible work which has made their
name the synonym for murder, torture and
rapiue.
They euteuCl the hamlet with savage
yells, the scattered residence having no
time for preparation. The men and
women, - the number of about dozen,
were dragged from their home, despite
their piteous appeals, aud butchered in the
most horrible manner, in most instances
the scalps Of the victims being torn from
them still alive. After helping themselves
to no iucousidcrable booty aud many head
of cattle, the Indians then proceeded on
the warpath, and some distance from San
Miguel overlook a pack train, consisting
Of several persons and sixteen animals.
Ii was shortly before noon that the
Apaches came IN sight Of the small and
| comparatively uuguarded caravan, which
was on route to Sonora. \ miuer, whose
name is said to have been Willis, with
his wife and daughter, u nephew II years
| old, and another miner named Grubb, are
thought to have been the white persoas
composing the party, aided by several
| Mexicaus in the transportation ot their
household goods aud mustangs.
Just as preparations were being made
for the MONDAY halt, the mules having
been uuhitchei from the wagons, the
Apaches broke over the crest OF low hill
and with tieudish yolls charged down the
valley. Running hastily for their niles
tho men, for few moments made a pr
| tied defence, but it was not Gorg uuti
every white and Mexican but Que wAs
| lieleSs. the stock was lassoed ani c'r-
rallied, the Wagons sacked and then bum
| ed, and the mems CORY cOrpSes scalped
and hacked with tomahawks in the most
| horrible way. The fate of the woman is
| unknown, but in the hands Of the Apaches
death is far preferable to captivity for
| woman.
No plausible cou lecture can be INDUCED

Ju and Geronimo, were seen in the neigh

with a number Of warriors, and u is b.
