CROOKS CAMPAIGN.

A Tucson, Arizona, dispatch OF June Goth
says General Crook has been busily en-
gagged toe past few days retitting and re-
pairing for the Indian campaign in the
Sierra Madras, and is about ready to start
for that locality. 1t is unotficially stated
that the campaign will be conducted as fol-
lows: General Crook and the scouts will
enter the Sierra Nadre mountains and en-
deavor to capture or kill Geronimo and
his followers. Should they escape him
and attempt to return to their reservation
in Arizona or NewlNexico, they will be
intercepted by the cavalry, which will be
stationed along the line. The troops will
camp at the different water holes along the
line between Fort Huacahua and Silver
Creek, SO the entire line will be guarded.
a special tonight from Hermosillo, Mex
leo, says: n band of Apaches passed near
Guasavas the 10Th of June, going toward
the Sierra Madras. A body of American
troops and scouts were closely pursuing
them.

A SURPRISING CHANGE.
The Tories in Favor Of Limited Home Rule
For Ireland

The only minister of the new English
government who has up to date publicly
addressed his constituents is Baltour, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, son n-law of Sails.
bury, and the only man who has ever been
permitted BY the present Premier to speak
tor him. The address has attracted pro-
found attention. Before his advent to
power, Salisbury was most persistent
advocate of coercion in ireland. Respon-
sibility, however, has apparently tempered
his views and he feels the necessity of
"letting the Tories down easy" The strik.
ing utterance in Balfour's speech, is the
unqualified declaration that he desires not
less than Chamberlain, to see Ireland gov
erned by equal laws with England, and to
see all exceptional legislation against the
Irish people forever abolished. The new
Chief Secretary strongly supports home
rule in Ireland, but contends that this
home rule shall extend to local interests
only.

ing, the excitement is at fever heat at Reno
and Darlington, in the Territory, and the
attitude of the Cheyennes is very threaten
ing. The special to the Eagle of Saturday
was to some pretended friendly Indians,
and their grunts of disapproval were long
and loud. The Eagle is in receipt of more
specials to-day in which it is asserted that
the Indians will make desperate fight if
asked to surrender their arms. 1t could
not have been done under the Presidents
orders. Darlington and Cantonrnent stand
at the mercy of 900 braves, and one special
says the streams are rising rapidly between
the agency and the fort. Few Indians are
to be seen around the fort The warriors
are all gathering at a point twelve miles
above on the North Fork. A friendly
Arapahoe brings in the news that three
white men Qreighters) were murdered near
Cantonment by Cheyenne Indians. Scouts
are riding trails in all directions day and

at Caldwell and the agencies are rising.
Fort Reno is under a double row of sen.
tinels, and no Indian is allowed inside Can

and is perfectly helpless il an attack is
made. There was, when the Eayle's last
special was sent, nine companies of troops
at Reno and one in Oklahoma, which had
been ordered over, but before these troops
could make move, two companies would
have to be sent to Cantonment and two
left at the agency, which would leave but
six companies for the post and the field.
The Indians are superbly mounted and

munition. Our dispatch says there is but
one way, and that is to disarm the Chev.
ennes. AS to the movement of the large
body of Indians in camp on the North
Fork, but little is known as neither the
agency people nor the soldiers have felt
that it would be safe to attempt to find out
by accommodating with so few troops at
command.

MONTANA INDIANS.
The Officials Disbelieve the Report of
Prospective HOstilities.

A dispatch from Miles City, Mont, dated
July 1st, says: The reports that 900 Blood
and Piegan Indians are on the way to at.
tack the Crows and Gros Ventrcs, are gen.
orally disbelieved by the officers at Fort
keogh, who have no official information
to that effect. The Bloods and Piegans
have been committing depredations upon
the other Indians and upon the whites of
Northern Montana. Horse stealing has
been their principal offense. Should any
attack be made upon the Crows they will
be found amply prepared 20 make strong
resistance. There are fully thousand
Crows now encamped on the Big Horn.

MRS. DUDLEY INSANE.
So Says the Jury in Her Trial for Shoot
ing O'DOnovan ROssa.-1

A New Yolk dispatch of June .3oth says
The court room where Mrs. Dudley is on
trial for the assault on O'Donovan Rosa
was again crowded to excess to-day. When
taking of testimony was continued, DR.. c.
+. Dennison, who dressed Rossa's wound
testified as to its location and character
This ended the case for the prosecution.
Counsel for Mrs. Dudley opened for the
defense. He claimed Mrs. Dudley assault
ed Rosa, not out of personal spite, or to
avenge personal insult, but because he
was an enemy of her country. The coun.
sci discussed the subject!of Irish patriotism
in continuing the line of testimony for the
defense, and spoke of what he termed Mrs.
Dudley's "physical infrmitv." He said he
would show that for several years she had
been subject to epileptic fits. He would
show that her mind has been effected bv
those fits and that she was not in fact re.
sponsiblc for her own conduct. Counsel
submitted number Of letters from English
physicians, in various institutions in which
his client had been confined for treatment.
They set forth the character of her disease.
Dcponents declared that Mrs. Dudley is
not in her right mind.
After other testimony!the Jury acquitted
Mrs. Dudley on the ground Of insanity.
The jury was only in consultation about
five minutes, when they returned their vcr-
dict. "A motion was made to send Mrs.
Dudley to the State Lunatic Asylum, which
her counsel opposed. The latter asked that
their client he permitted to be returned to
her native country, and be placed in an
institution there. The court will listen to |
on this motion on Thurdsay.
