The Anache Indian Situation.

WASHINGTON, June 9th The following
dispatch has been received at the War
Department from Major-General Schotield,
dated Chicago, June 9th: General Au-
gust repeats Colonel Bradley's dispatch,
dated at Fort Bayard to-day, stating that
reports indicate that the main body of the
Apaches are south of the Southern Pacific
Railway. pushing for Mexico"
Another dispatch, dated Whipple Bar
racks "a. T. J, June 9th, from San Carlos
says that appearances indicate no cause for
the excitement of the day before at Globe.
Lieutenant Davis, commanding the sixty
scouts that went out from Apache,
and who, under Chatto, has been in the
immediate vicinity of the hostiles much OF
the time in the Mogollon and Black Ranges
in New Mexico, telegraphed yesterday from
Duncan, Arizona, on the Arizona and New
Mexico line, that the Indians passed that
place the night before. going south. They
were well mounted. AS his scouts were
on foot, he thought it improbable that he
could overtake them this side of the Next
can border. No further details, but from
this and the disappearance of horses for
the past three or four days from the eastern
slope of the Black Range, it would seem
that they have doubled back, and are push
ing as rapidly as possible for Mexico, with
Davis and his scouts at their heels
The Agent at the San Carlos Indian re-
servation has telegraphed the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs that he has thor

horses by the Indians of that agency neal

Crook and the Renegade Indians.
New YORK, June 9th. =" Crooks Bad
Policy" is the heading of a Washington
special in the Times, which charges that the
military had two days notice of Geroni-
mos intention to break out, which, il
promptly acted upon, would have prevented
the raid. The Times says that General
Crook appears to have been mistaken, il
the facts are correctly reported, about the
possibility of civilizing Geronimo ano
Chatto. The hint is thrown out that his
representations about the superior tilling oil
lands held by these chiefs are not warranted
Letters from Arizona state that it has been
well known about Fort Apache for the last
year, that when these Indians should again
break out they would go to the Black
Range, where they are now, yet not a soul
in that region was notified until the savages
were upon them. 1t is even possible now
that they will escape into Mexico and occu-
pv their old hauntS in the Sierra Madre
Should they do so, many Indians now in
the vicinity of Apache and San Carlos will
Join them, and the entire business of hunt
ing and civilizing these savages will have
to be done over.
The structures in the Times are evidently
written from the old standpoint of opposi.
ton to peace polich in Indian affairs.
