INTERPRETING THE INDIANS.
Gen. Crook Advises the War Department
to Act Promptly.

10 AGt AHonpbAf.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-In telegram
dated Fort Bayard, N. NJ, June G.,
Col. Bradley states that it is certain that
the hostile Apaches are making for
Mexico by way Of STEMS Peak range.
Troops and scouts are stationed in STEMS
pass, Doubtful canon, and the San Louis
valley to intercept them.
Under date of Deming, June s, Gen. /.
Crook telegraphs: Preparations to oper-
ate against the hostiles, in accord
ance with my telegram of June 8,
should be made with the least possible de-
lay, In my judgment. AS a rule the In
dians thus far have only killed citizens 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 dam
age they Will be likely TO do. There are a
number OF people living in these noun
talns, and their property interests have
increased enormously since the time Of
VIctoriO, so that II 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 the
government, but desire to reiterate that
delay is extremely dangerous"
In ansmitting this dispatch Gen.
Pope says that he has complied with
Gen. Crooks requests to the extent Of his
power, and submits the matter for the ac-
tion Of the War Department.
In another dispatch from Deming Gen.
Crook says: "FrOm the report Of Lieut..
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 a few women and children under
Mongus, who left the main party
in the MongollOn mountains. This
party is now west of HulsborO,
moving south, with Capt. ChafTee and
Wallace on the trail. The scouts think
that the main part Of the women and
children are already In Mexico, though it
is possible Lawton may intercept them. /
have some hopes that Crawford, who left
Repar at 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 possible, who will then follow the trail
into Mexico"
