In in the Indian Policy-Gen, Crooks Dis
patches.
WASHINGTON, June l0.-In telegram
dated Fort Bayard, N. NJ, June 6, Colonel
Bradley states that it is certain that the hos
tile Apache are making for Mexico by way
of Stearns' Peake range. The troops and
scouts are stationed in Sterns' Pass, in San
Louis valley, to intercept them. Under
date of Dening June 8, Gen. Crook tele-
grophs: Preparations to operate against
the hostiles in accordance with my
telegram of the 5th, should be made
with the least possible delay. In my judg-
ment, as rule the Indians thus far have
only killed citizens to get arms and smmu-
nition, out if after some Of their number
have been killed Indians are driven back
into the United States. There is no esi.
mating the damage they will likely do,
An early reply is requested, which will
serve to instruct me as to the intentions OF
the governEent, but desire to reiterste that
delay is extremely dangerous.
In transmitting thus dispatch, Gen. Pope
says that he has complied with Gen.
Crooks request to the extent of his power
and submits the matter for the action of the
War Department.
In another dispatch from Dening, Gen.
Crooks says: From the report OF Lieutenant
Davis Just received, it is probable that all
the Indians have crossed the railroad, hsv,
ing got past the troops in Stems, except a
party of six or seven bucks under Mongus,
who left the main party in the Mongollan
mountains. This party is now west OF Hills
boro, moving south with Chaffee and Wal
lace on the trail The scouts think the
main part of the women and children are
already in Mexico, though it is possible
hat hampton may intercept them. nave
some hopes that crawford with scouts and
company of cavalry may be able to intercept
some of them. Davis has orders to lolr
Crawford as soon as possible who will ther
follow the trail to Mexico.
