contemplate the construction of three
5,00O-ton steamers for the Australian

be built in accordance with the naval
regulations, and will be so constructed
that they can be utilized as cruisers in
case of war. The speed of the vessels
will not be less than eighteen knots an
hour. 1t is also understood that in case
of the passage of the bill in question the
Pacific Mail will build at least four new

Associated Press Dispatches.


Tucson, Ariz., June A Mexican
brought word here today of the killing
of a man and his wife and two children,
about five miles from Pantano yester-
day. He reports going to the ranch and
finding the family murdered and the
house burned. He came to the city to
give the alarm. No further information
can be had. The ranch is on the direct
trail from the San Carlos Indian reser-
walton to Mexico, in the Rincon noun
tains.
Tucson, June 4.-Three Mexicans have
just come in, saying they were driven
into the city by Indians, who attacked
them nine miles from Tucson, near the
San Miguel mine. They secreted them
selves in the rocks and escaped. They
fear the Indians have attacked ranch
near there, killing the inmates.
Tucson, June 4.-The reported killing
by Indians of a man, woman and two
children, near Pantano, is unfounded.
This afternoon three Mexicans came in
from camp seven miles north of Tue
son and reported Indians near there. A
party of armed citizens hurried to the
camp. No Indians were found there.
The alarm was caused by a band OF
eighteen Indians who were off San Car
los reservation with passes, hunting and
gathering cactus fruit. They have
been seen in the vicinity OF
Pantano, north and east of Tucson,
several times during the last ten days.
They are all armed, and the recent
killing of Hardie at Rucker canon has
excited ranchers, miners and others
1t is believed by some of the stockmen
ON the San Pedro that Kid and his band
are with these bands from the reserva-
ton, endeavoring to strengthen his
forces.
Dangerous Policy.
There is much feeling ex-
pressed against the policy OF allowing
the Indians to leave the reservation Oh
passes, especially as they are armed. fol
ranchers, miners and travellers have nj
means of knowing whether they are
| hostile or friendly. That there is bano
of them now in the mountains neal
here is well established by more than a
dozen reliable citizens who have seen
them many times during the last ten
days.
A large party of citizens of Tucson
ranchers and stockmen, are organizing
to interview the band, who will have to
return to the reservation or fight, within
the next few hours. The people are de-
termined to keep them on their reserva-
ton, and if found running at large with
arms, to treat them as hostiles.
