Is rendered necessary to prevent loss of life
and property in Arizona. This war with
the Apaches, if it can be called war, has

apparently just as near settled now as when
it began. Methods of civil warfare have
proved wholly made, uate to cope with tho
cunning savages, who are always fleeing

the INTEL gent Radical members of Parlia,
ment and been backed up in great measure
BY public opinion,
