and the Cananea mountains, a pros pecting party, composed of three Mexicans and two women, were mur- dered by Apaches Their bodies were found the isanle cay, and presented 9 horrible appearance, the faces of the men being beaten, smashed and be- yond recognition, while the cruelties inflicted upon the women were of such q nature as would paralyze one not accustomed to scenes of blood shed, rapine and murder. Their heads were split open, their hair and eyes torn out, while the body was split and the entrills spilled on the ground, while other parts of the body showed severe brutality, Not a vest "ge uf clothing was fouud upon the bodies, and laying as they had fallen, with the hot monday sun beating upon their ppturned but badly muti- lated fac=s and: bolies,' presented most sickening sight, once seen never to be forgotten. The party were evi- dently riding along unsuspecting danger, and especially from the source it came, Qor an Apache Indian had not been seen in Arispe district for ten yeals), when they were suddenly fired upon from ambush, and were either instantly killed or mortally wounded, as there were but few signs of a close combat, one gun yet being loaded when found in q clump Of bushes, which the Indians had over Looked or sccreted themselves, it be- ing an old rattie-trap sort of thing, and not worth tue trouble of taking it with them. The Mexican people throughout the district arc greatly excited. and a!l rarckers in sparsely settled localities have been warned of the danger and have fockcd together in sufficient numbers to repel the Apaches in the event of another at tack, which is no' at all probable, f the truth oE t is that their appearance ia 4rispe district was against their will, they being forced by the Mexi- can militia which was. crowding them close in Altar district, and com pelled them to Isaye Gheir trail and make a eifeuitous roase through Arispe district in order to get rid of the militia, and again take up the trail futsher 2 q. < and Continue toward sa- s&3s and '.the Colorado river. It is most earnestly hoped that the Mexi- can militia will press forward yjttI all speed possible and catch up and en- gage with them in'battle before they reach Susave, the line between the two Republics. But, in the first place, should they succeed in catch ing UP with them, it will be no easy task to force them 70 combat, for the Indians are in mortal dread of militia and instead os n:qeing l stand will re- sCrt to flight, when q running fight will enSue clear to the boundary line. If the Mexicans should f;lil to kill or capture them, we must not be foolish enough to look for redress from the United States, for ten to one they shall be allowel to skuIk back to the gascIyat;cn unmo!estcd ard remain i1 peace and tranquility until they hSaTE see fit t5 daub on war paint and spread destruction everywhere. How ever, we yet have faith in the MexI- can mlljtia's perfection and they may yet kill or capture the Apaches before they reach the InitGd States From. tier. s @r-''
