WASHINGTON, Jnne 10.-In telegram
dated Fort Bayard, n. NJ, the 9th
instant, Colonel Bradley states that it is
certain that the hostile Apaches are
making for Mexico via the STEMS Peak
range. The troops and scouts are
stationed in STEMS Pass, Doubtful
Canyon and San Los1s alley, to inter
cept them.
Under date of Deming, June Sth.
General Crook telegraphs: Prepare
tons to operate against the hostiles, in
accordance with my telegram of the
5th, should be made with the least pos
sible delay, in my judgment. As rule.
the Indians, thus far, have only killed
citizens to get arms. etc. But, if after
some of their number have been killed,
the Indians are driven back into the
United States, there is no estimating
the damage they will be likely to do.
The number of people living in the
mountains and their property interests
have increased enormously since the
time of Victories raids, so that if the
Indians meet among these mountains
again, such wall will go up as was
never before heard. An early reply is
requested, which will serve to instruct
me as to the intentions of government
But desire to reiterate that DELAY is
extremely dangerous"
In transmitting this dispatch General
Pope says he has complied with Crooks
request to extend his power and sub
mits the matter for the action of the
War Department.
In another dispatch from Deming,
Crook says: "From the report Of
Lieutenant Davis, Just received, it is
probable that the Indians have crossed
the railroad, having got past the troops
in STEMS Pass, except party of six or
seven bucks and a few women and
children under Mongas, who left the
main party in the Mogallon Mountains.
This party is now west of Hillsboro
Mountain, moving south, with Captain
Chaff1e and Wallace on the trail. The
scouts think the main party of women
and children are already in Mexico, al
though it is possible that Lawton may
intercept them. | have some hopes of
Crawford, who left Aspar at yesterday
morning with scouts and a company of
cavalry. He may be able to intercept
some OF them. Davis has orders to
JOIN Crawford as soon as possible, who
will then follow the trail into Mexico"
TOMBSTONE, Arizona, June 10.-A

ing with the intelligence that Apaches

ance Two well-armed parties number
