will be made. The Apaches have been
joined by q number OF Utes and Nayajoes,
and the band Is composed Of nearly two

toward Diamond Greek, where the wo-
men, numbering nearly one hundred, pre-

THIRTY WHITES SLAIN.
TrcoS, .ARrz., May 2s.-The present
raid Of Gerinomo Is already more disas-
trous to life than that Of twe years ago,
when Judge Meoomas was slain. Then
but seventeen persons were murdered,
while five have been killed in Arizona so
far, and twenty-five in New Mexico, with
the chances in favor Of the number being
doubled before Gesinomo reaches the
Sierre MadHe mountains, in Mexico, where
his band Is doubtless going. Gerinomo,
who Is in the region OF Lake valley, New
Mexico, has divided up his force into sew
oral small bands, each OF which will be ex-
pected 10 make good report ts their CHIEF,
when they meet next, sixty or seventy
miles south, q day or two later. Signs q
one or two snall hands Of Indians we're
found in Arizona Tuesday. They were
leaving the reservation and going in the
direction Of Stems peak with view, il is
supposed, OF joining Gerinomo's force.
General Crook Is en- route 70 the front and
will en-operate with General Bradley, who
eommands the forces 10 New Mexico. The
Mexican Consul in this place has notified
the Government that the Indians are
heading toward chihuahua and advised
that the haciendas be warned.
