anee of Charles McComas was received at
the department to-day from Preside at
San Francisco:
CAIAAF, March 23.-To the adjutant
general of the U. S. A, Washington,
d. c.: The following dispatch of this
date has just been received from General
Crook: A most careful examination has
been made but the general testimony of
the Indians is that Charlie McComas was
never seen alive after the fight in the
Sierra Madre, as the Indians scattered in
every direction at the moment of the
attack. The country there is indescriba-
bly, rough, and the sides of the canons are
covered with boulders and scrub timber
which effectually conceals any one taking
refuge in them. | am satisfied that the
Apaches hunted for him as they promised
to do but the cold rain hat night washed
away his foot prints so hat he could not
be traced and there is now every reason to
believe that he persisted in the cold
weather. ~(Signed),
JOHN Pope, Major General.
