WAsHINaToN, June l0.--In tele-
gram dated Fort Bayard, New Mexico,
9th instant. Colonel Bradley states that
il is certain that the hostile Apaches
arc making for Mexico by the way of
the STEMS Peak range. Troops and
scouts are stationed in STEMS Pass,
Doubtful Canon. and San Losis Valley,
to intercept them. Under date Of
Deming, June Sth, General Crook
telegraphS: Z" Preparations to operate
against the hos,iles, in accordance
with my telegram OF the 5th, should
he made with the least possible
delay. In my judgment, as a rule the
Indians thus far have only killed citi-
zens to get arms and ammunition 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 these
mountains and their property interests
have increased enormously since the
time Of Victorio, so that if the Indians
meet among these mountains again such
= wall will 90 up as was never before
heard. An early reply is requested,
which will serve to instruct me as to
the intentions Of the Government but
| desire to reiterate that delay is ex-
trcmely dangerous
In transmitting this dispatch General
Pope saws that lie has complied with Cen
eral Crooks requests to the extent Of his
power. and submits the matter for the
action of the War Department.
l., another dispatch from DeIning
General Crook says; " From the report
of Lieutenant Davis, just received, 1t is
probable that all the Indians have
crossed the railroad, having got past
the troops in STEMS Pass, except a
party Of six or seven bucks and few
women and children under Mongus,
WHO left the main party in the Mogallon
mountains. This party is now west OF
Hillsboro', moving south, with Captains
Chafee and Wallace on the trail. Scouts
think that the main part of the women
and children are already in Mexico,
though it is possible that Lawton
may intercept .hem. | have some
hopes that Crawford, who left Repair at
5 O'Clock yesterday morning with scouts
and a company of cavalry, may be able
to intercept some Of them. Davis has
orders to join Crawford as soon AS pos
sible. who will then follow the trail
into Mexico

The Commencement Big Gathering
Prosperous Condition OF the College.
Especial telegram to the Dispatchl
RALEIGH, n. c., June l0.-At
Wake Forest College the contest for
the declaimer's medal was warm one,
with twelve competitors. Walter p.
Stradly of Oxford, n. c., was the
winner.
The alumni address was delivered last
evening by Rev. George W. Sanderlin,
of Pasquotank county. The attendance
was very large. The address was both
eloquent and forcible. The annual
banquet. given the alumni at the close
Of the address, was an elegant affair.
] he attendance OF alumni was larger
than in many years. Yesterday people
were present from all parts Of the State.
The trustees met at 10 o'clock, with
the largest attendance ever known.
They found the affairs Of the college in
excellent shape.
The management Of President Charles
+. Taylor was complimented as being
excellent in all respects. The endow-
ment fund approaches $4,000. Bap-
lists of all parts of the State manifest
lively and constantly-increasing interest
in the prosperity Of the college. Despite
the financial stress the attendance Of
students at the term just closing is
gratifyingly large. At no time in its
history of forty years has the college
been so great power for usefulness as
at present. The buildings are spacious
and well designed. The grounds are
in better order than ever before. The
corps of professors is an able and
earnest one. Altogether the present
state Of affairs. as well as the outlook
for the future, is more than gratifying
TO the trustees. Other improvements
are to be made looking to yet greater
extension and development of the work
Of the college. There are AS students
now present, and the graduating class
numbers fifteen. This morning at ii
O'Clock Hon. Robert F. Armfeld lex
congressman, of Statesville, delivered
the annual address. 1t was eminently
practical, and was heard by over 1000
people, who filled the great hall Of the
college. The baccalaureate sermon,
preached this evening by Rev. DR.. f.
NJ. Ellis, of Baltimore, was able.
Major I. NJ. Finger, State Superinten-
dent Of Public instruction, and DR.. J. T..
Fichenor, of Atlanta, Ca, were among
the prominent men present to-day.
Major Finger will make some remarks
to the graduating class tomorrow. The
class deliver addresses tomorrow at | l
o'clock. The people are going to Wake
Forest on every train. Tomorrow is
the great day. There will be bril-
liant representation from all the GEN.
trail sections OF the State. This evening
closed by a reception rendered to lady
visitors by the two literary societies.

EASTERN TOBACCO Crop.

Resume of the Outlook in she COnneciicnt
VALLEY
IBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
SPRINGFIELD. MASS, June TO-
Reports in the New England homestead
from the principal tobacco-growing Sec
tons of New Ingland, New York, Penn
sylvania, and Wisconsin, give an in
teresting resume Of the present out
look for the tobacco crop in the Con-
necticut Valley, especially in Massa-
chusetts. Large quantities of the 1884
seed-leaf crop are still unsOld. Grow
ers went into Havana seed-leaf heavily
last year, but the crop in this section
has not sold well, although fair prices
have been obtained. In some instances
that which was sold early brought the
best prices. The 1853 crop is about
all cleared up. In most of the MaSsa-
chusetts counties where tobacco has
been grown there will be a considera-
bic falling off from last years acreage.
Probably not half as much Havana
will be grown as was last year, but
there will be a considerable increase in
setd.leaf tobacco. The acreage will be
from 5 to 90 per cent. below that Of last
wear. In Connecticut about the usual
acreage will lie set with less Havana.
Housatonic seed-leaf was all sold early.
though at low prices, which will pre-
vent any very great increase in this
wears acreage. Across the border in
New York. however, the tobacco crop
is gradually growing in Importance.
The great Hayana-tobaCcO section of
0nondaga county shows a slight de-
crease in acreage, owing to low prices
and much unsold leaf, bat growers will
cling to Havana. The Pennsylvania
growers feel blue, but will probably
set near as much as last year, not
wthstanding mostly seed-leaf. Wis
consin is becoming a great competitor
of the eastern tObacco-growers. The
growers there have realized higher
average prices during the past winter
than have been paid for Havana OF
the eastern States. This has given
business a great impetus, and the acre
age will be at least one fourth larger
than last year. Aside from the general
business depression, the state Of the
tobacco market is primarily due
to the importation Of Sumatra to-
bacco through the efforts Of the New
England Tobacco Growers Associa'
ton. The tariff on Sumatra leaf was
increased from 35 to ) cents per pound
in 1888, but importers have been able
to evade the law, and it is practically
imperative. Growers Of seed-leaf to
baceo throughout the country will spare
no efforts TO secure an iron-clad prohi
bitory tariff at the'next session of Con

Merely a misunderstanding.


WASHINGTON. June lO.-The Ere
mig star says; The published reports
about a probable duel between Repre-
sentative King and Mr.. Cuthbert Jones,
of Louisiana, because of some reiiec-
tons upon members Of the latter's
family alleged to have been made by
General King, do not seem to have
foundation enough to worry lovers
Of peace aud order. 1t seems
that Mr.. Jones's ire was raised by
sensational matter telegraphed from
Washington, which was represented as
coming from General King. The latter,
il appears, did interpose to prevent the
appointment Of Mr.. Jones to a con-
Sulate. but General King denies that he
cast any reflections upon the female
members Of Mr.. JoneS's family. 1t
seems to have been case of mlsunder-
standing, which mutual explanations
have cleared up,

WASHINGTON, June 10.---In case
which recently came before him, where
a senator complained Of not having
sufficient dictation in the matter Of ap-
poin,mcnt Of postmaster in his district,
Mr.. Hay, First Assistant Postmaster.
General, expressed himself as opposed
10 the custom Of the Post-Oflice De-
partmert under past Administrations
Of appointing postmasters solely upon
the request Of the congressman in
whose districts the appointments might
be made. He stated that he was
unaware Of any congressional pre-.
rocatiye at all which the De-
psftmcnt was bound to respect.
Correct information, he added, was
slways sought, and the views OF a
Senator or Representative would OF
course receive great weight and consid-
Grafton but he did not know that they
had any prerogatiye whatever in the
matter. Mr.. Hay added. to forcibly
illustrate his views on this point: 81
am entirely ignorant Of any law or
correct principle which directs that this
Department must at all conform
10 the dictates Of a senator or
ary number Of senator's in the
appointments to Office. If the fact
should come 10 my knowledge that a
majority Of the patrons Of post
Office should unequivocally express
their desires for the appointment Of q
postmaster who was by political faith
opposed 10 the Administration, and was
thoroughly fitted for the place, | would

commentator Of State Legislature or
of any possible number Of congressman
