WASHINGTON. April 3 .-The notion thnt the
regulars In New Mexico and Arizona arc NOT
sufficient to protect the settlers against the
Navaios. and that Colorado militia must be
sent from Durango and even from Denver. is
quite erroneous. Gen. A. McD. McCook. who
commands the Department OF Arizona, has all
tho force necessary for the purpose. At Fort
Wingate. which is close upon the Navajo res
e%rvation. are the headquarters and Troops A.
c. d. q. II. and l. OF Col. George q. HUNTS
regiment. the Second Cavalry. and four oil
these six troops have already gone to the scene
Of trouble. Troop /. Is n Navajo Indian COM

Tenth Infa =try.

are ut Fort Huachuca. and two others. d and ].
ut Fort Bowie. both posts being in Arizona.
The Headquarters and two companies. b and
