AN INDIAN MASSACRE.
A Company Of Soldiers Ambushsd by Apaches
in New Mexico.

San Antonio, Tex, special to st. Louis
Republican,: Private telegrams were re-
ceived here this morning to the effect that
First Lieut.. ThOs. Maddox, assistant
surgeon u. ). A., was killed in the recent
Indian fight in New Mexico. His proper
station was at San Antonio, though he was
called into the field with Co. c. from this
post. DR.. Maddox was a very fine man and
stood high In military and civil circles.
The following official telegram was re.
ceived to day at military headquarters:
White House, N. NJ, via Silver City, N.
M, Dec. 19.-To Adjutant General Depart
ment of Texas, San Antonio: In a fight
with Apaches this morning Assistant Sur
geon Maddox and Privates Gibson, Sutton
and Mcmillan were killed, and Lient. Cabell
and Corporal Mcfarland were slightly
wounded.
[Signedl Lieut.. Fontain, Eighth Cavalry.
From the fact that the telegram does not
claim q victory over the Apaches for the
United States troops, 1t Is believed here that
they were beaten and ordered from the
field Gen. David yS. Stanley, the depart
ment commander, is awaiting further inf0r-
nation with some anxiety. Ihe Killed ana
wounded allowed mentioned belong to
Troop G. Eighth Cavalry. In consequence
of the sad news received here to-day the
military b adquarters presents Q mournful
appearance, the flags being at half-mast and
ali the 0fices and barracks being d0nned in
| the habiliments of woe. Both officers and
men speak in the highest terms OF their
dead comrades and comEend their military
capabilities In the highest manner. The
loss of Surgeon Maddox Is very marked, as
be has always been held In the highest es-
| TEEN BY officers and subordinates for his
skill Is physician and noble qualities as
an officer and gentleman. From the we'll
known character of the regulars engaged 10
| this figft, and the brilliant success they
achieved in an engagement with the same
Indians but few days ago, Gen. Stanley
entertains the belief that the command was
ambushed and slaughtered
A later dispatch confirms the theory that
the troops were ambushed. There were
twenty -one Indians in the attacking party.
After the fight they headed west in the d.
rection of Clifton. This Is the band with
which FOntain had fighton the 9th, inst.
No Indians are reported killed.

of the storm this morning. as was
Charleston when the earthquake cut
the connection with civilization by tele-
graph of that city. The wires OF the
Western Union and Baltimore & Ohio
Telegraph companies are down in every
direction from this city The storm
seemed TO be cyclone, or Il number
of cyclones, with Chicago as the storm
center. The Chicago office is COM
pletely isolated, and at o clock to-day
did not have wire working to any of
the principal cities. just before the
break IN the Detroit circuit occurred
brief dispatch was received stating that
the country between Ypsilanti, Michi-
gan, and Elkhart, Indiana, was being
devastated by a cyclone of terrific force,
which it is believed has caused serious
loss of life and property. The details
cannot be learned until the necessary
repairs can be made to the wires. Be-
tween Aurora and Mendoza, on the c.,
B. & Q. Road, the storm was disastrous
in its severity. At the latter point the
wind cut the roof off freight car
standing on side-track as clean as a
saw could have performed the opera
ton. One gust of the hurricane
chopped down seven telegraph poles at
one swoop near Moline, Illinois, on the
line of the Rock Island railroad.
