A REPORT FROM GEN. CROOK.
Gen. Crook reports, under date of Friday last
the movements Of the hostile Apaches as fol-
lows:
"The Indians have been for two days in the
Chiricahua mountains, but have been prevented
from crossing the San Simeon valley into the
Steinspeak range, as was evidently their inten-
ton. Yesterday morning they We're forced out
of these mountains by the scouts and troops
and driven into the Sulphur Spring valley, and
their trail lost after dark. They have stolen
sufficient stock to mount themselves we'll and
am informed this evening that they went on
to the Dragons this morning. They probably
killed two men in the Chiricahua mountains,
and this in spite of every effort to warn ali
citizens Two companies Of the 10th cavalry
and Capt. Woods troop of 4th cavalry are on
their trail, and it is presumed Capt. Crawford
with his scouts also. Every thing possible for
troops to do Is being done to try and destroy
the hOstiles."

repudiated, and it is declared that only those
Mormons above reproach are permitted to en-

Miss Clevelnnd.s Plans,


NOT TO RETURN TO WASHINGTON FOR SOME
TIME-GoSSIP ABOUT HER NOVEL.
From the New York Mail and Express
A morning paper published special dispatch
from Washington reiterating the rumor that
Miss Cleveland is engaged in this city in the
completion of her forthcoming novel. Her pub
fishers, Messrs. Funk & Wagnalls, have never
heard of the alleged novel and they place no
faith in the report that the Presidents sister is
grinding out light literature. The lady was in
their office on Saturday and made no reference
whatever TO the matter. An intimate personal
friend of Miss Cleveland, who was met this
morning, said:
There is not a particle of truth in the story.
Miss Cleveland left this city Saturday evening
for her old country home, where she will be en-
gagged some weeks in attending to her private
business affairs; She will then return to Wash
ington, where she will spend the winter"
'Is she engaged on any literary wOrk?''
'Sbe Is not. and the reports to the contrary
annoy her very much. 1t is safe to state that
no work from her pen will be again issued while
her brother remains in the White House. She
has been greatly worried by the stories in the
newspapers that her book has brought her i'm
mense profits. She has had all the newspaper
notoriety she wants."

that the ballast thrown out. instead of falling
perpendicularly, formed a kind of horizontal
tail 10 the balloon as this shot up in the direc-

seen to veer round and make its way back with

loon this time will steer to some predetermined
