ranch loet evening states that the details of
the fight at Oputo, as reported heretofore,
are substantially correct. Captain Craw-
ford, with the main body OF troops ana
scouts went directly toward Torres Mount
aims. while Lieutenant Davis, with his
command passed around 10 lhe east ena Oh
the mountains, thanking the Indians Lieu
tenant Davis surprised their camp, consist
inc of seventeen bucks and fourteen women
and children. In the attack two OF the
RENEGADE bucks were killed and another one
wounded and taken prisoner. The women
and children were all captured. The four
teen remaining bucks escaped into the
mountains, and il was found impossible to
oyertake them After the battle Lieutenant
Davis sent Lieutenant Hanna, with detail
of six men, in charge of the prisoners and
three Indian scouts who had mutinied, TO
San Bernardino ranch, and at the same
time dispatched courier to Fort Bowie to
inform General Crook Of the action, and
asking that reinforcements meet Hanna al
the ranch and relieve him.
FEARS FOR LIEUTENANT HANNA AND HIS
SMALL FORCE.
When Mr. Rowland left San Bernardino
ranch yesterday morning, Lieutenant
Hanna had not arrived there, although he
had been out with his detail six days.
patched as relief TO Lieutenant Hanna,
arrived at the ranch on Monday, and it was
confidently expected that Lieutenant Hanna
would meet him AT that point on Tuesday.
Lieutenant McGrew had an idea that Lieut..
Hanna might have gone into Cloverdale,
bat this appears hardly probable, as Lieut.
! Davis had said in his report to General
Crook that Lieutenant Hanna would be
ordered to report to a relief at San Bernar-
dino ranch. Scouts have been sent out
from Lieutenant McGrew' S command to cut
the trail TO the east to find out, if possible,
ii Lieutenant Hanna has yet passed the line.
The theory Of those in the vicinity of the
ranch is that fourteen bucks who escaped
from the fight, seeing their families and
three able-bOdied bucks leaving the main
command guarded by but six men, fol-
lowed their trail, ambushed them, mas
sacred the command and set the prisoners
! al liberty.

LOSSES or THE INDIANS At uPUTO.
The report that the military authorities
had enlisted large numbers of the northern
Indians, Lieutenant McGrew says, is not
true. IN the fight al OputO, Lieutenant Da-
Wis rccaptured all the horses taken by the
I indians al the Guadalupe massacre, except
ing those killed, and 1000 rounds of am
munitiOn. The loss OF the ammunition
Will be a heavy blow to the SavageS and

known in California and the East, and is
entirely trustworthy.
