 1.-Two despatches just received from Gen. Miles, the first by mail, indicate more serious condition of affairs at San Carlos than has been previously reported. Gen. Miles is en route to that agency, and al confident will do all in his power to pre- vent any Indians gettl ng beyond the limits of tue reservation. l earnestly request immediate attention to furnishing the cavalry the horses required in Arizona. The despatches are as follows:
 " My information is that ten bucks and two or three women are out l do not think that the have left the reservation, but most likely will do so as soon as an effort IS made to capture them. They are probably in hiding near the San Carlos Thoy have relations on the Cibca and among the White Mountains. They came originally from tho SierraAneha Mountains and may 90 either of the above directions do not think the trou ble will extend be- yond thoso now out. My plan, unless otherwise directed by you, is to send out Viele with his troop and some scouts ton ,ght; Lee to follow soon as trail is developed.

Since then 1 have talked with several head men and from different sources learned Jhe names and histories of She leaders of the renegades. One of them Is wanted here for Murdering one of our scouts early this year; ne was arrested, but escaped from the guard house just be- fore 1 assumed command. Several attempts have been made to ef- feet his arrest, but without success. The principal of tho three men whom Capt. Lee as sent out te arrest, is also a desperate character, has several times been in con ntinemeut here in irons. These two men have at last succeeded iR drawing around them their brothers and relatives to the number of eight or more, and taken to the hills. Their last act just i before leaving their camp was to try and kill and they did severely wound . an lluldH WILL WbOu1 UAS OI GACLI number had quarrel some weeks before over gambling debt. They are | practically outlaws, and l do not believe that they can be induced to return volun- tarily to their farms. 1 do not believe 1 they will oommiC any dcpredations so long as they are undisturbed upon the reserva ton, but the moment force is sent after them and they succeed in getting off the reservation trouble of a serious nature 1 will ensue. 1 have endeavored through their friends and others to find ont theil present location, but with no success be yond the general in ormatien that they are supposed to be ir the country bordering Or | the San Carlos. l will not seGd a force against them for tue present, but will d; | the best l can to locate them by other means and try to induce them to come in but have no hope of success.
