The Estado de Chihuahua, pub
lished mt the city of Chihuahua,
gives the following piece OF sinpu-
lar information: ave have posi-
tive information that a campaign
having been organized by the citi-
zens Of San Miguel to pursue the
Indians that were seen near that
place, they overlook and attacked
them. The savages scattered and
left ten prisoners, among whom are
two Americans. 1t is very likely
that those Yankees were disguised
rs Apaches, just for the fun Of it,
but their murders and depredations
are not to he laughed nt 1t would
he an injustice to bring them to
this city, fatten them and keep
them here, and afterwards to turn
them loose in order to allow them
to continue their depredations.
They and the Apaches should be
hanged W9ai
The aboue gives evidence of a
blunder by the citizens of San Mi
guel. They have undoubtedly
overtaken u party of Indian scouts
in command of American officers,
who were in pursuit of the. same
hostlles those citizens were seek
ing to annihili,te. In the excite
nent of the combat the error was
not discovered or was learned too
late to make any difference in the
result, and the sconts having been
fought as Apaches and the priso-
ners taken ns Apaches, there can
be no doubt but they have been
treated as Apaches. An investiga-
ton Of tins matter might iead to
interesting developments, for it is
certain that no American would
become the alley of the deadliest
foa, tie Apache, in hcstile deeds. !

In the heart of the city Of San

most densely congregated, there
was recently brought to light a
shocking and loathsome custom OF

known to exist in that city. An
intolurable stencil caused the cor
oner to raid cellar where he wit
nerscd, in all its horrible details.
the operation of boning the re-
mains of Chinese for the purpose
of sending them back to the friends
of the deceased in China. A num-
her Of bodies, in various stages of
decomposition, were discovered,
most Of which had been brought
from interior towns of the state,
while some had evidently been ex-
humed from the Chinese cemetery
in the city. Bones which had been
transported to the city in ten boxes,
We're found ready for shipmen on
the next China steamer. The COR
oner seized the bodies from which
the flesh had not been taken, by
the process of boiling and scraping,
rs we'll as the bones prspatred for
shipment. and had them conveyed
to the morgue much to the disgust
of the Celestlals. The discovery
that such heathenish practices
were carried on in San Francisco
has excited much Indignation and
intensified the anti Chinese feeling
to such an extent that serious con-
sequences may follow. The Six
Chinese Colnponies have the te-
merity to threaten the coroner with
4 suit for damages for interfering
with what they seem to consider
Legitimate business, although car
ried on in defiance Of law. The
Nongolians who so successfully
evade the Restriction Act and 9th.
