WILCOX (Ariz.), May 15.-It was
learned to-day from the driver of the ma il
stage between San Carlos and the abal l.
doned post at Fort Thomas that the rene
gade Apaches had fight with the In
dians on the reservation, killing one
squaw. injuring several others and carry

Later accounts would indicate that the

as he has mania for taking a new squaw
each time he returns to the reservation.
After the distur bance they left the,
reservation, travelling southwark. A de-
tachment of cavalry under command of
Lieutenant Hartman and the Indian
police are in close pursuit.
1t is now generally known that for the
past six months the Indians have IN

REAR-ADMIRAL MEADE.

His Leave Of Absence Revoked by the
Secretary of the Navy.
WASHINGTON. May 15.-The Secretary
of the Navy has issued an order revok-
ing the leave of absence granted to Rear
Admiral Meade several days ago. When
Admiral Meade became dissatisfied with
his command and asked to be detached
from the command OF the North Atlantic
squadron, he also asked for a leave OF
absence of year, with permission to 60
abroad, saying at the same time that he
would ask in day or two to be relieved.
His request to be detached was immedi-
ately granted, as was the request for the
years. leave of absence. Then came the
request to be retired, but before any ac-
tion could be taken the interview was
published which has caused SO much
difficulty.
No action has been taken upon the re-
quest for retirement, but the action re-
voking the leave of absence also indi-
Gates that the request for retiremen will
not be complied with. The effect will be
to place Admiral Meade on waiting or
ders, subject to any duty at any time
which the department may desire to as
sign him.
1t was understood that the leave of ab-
sence granted Admiral Meade contained
permission to go abroad, and he intended
to spend the summer in Europe. He
could not go abroad while on waiting
orders without violating the naval regu-
lations. If he were not ready to respond
to any oruer of the department when is
sued, he would also be subject to disci-
pline for not obeying orders.
1t is believed now that it is hardly
likely that any action will be taken to
court-martial Admiral Meade for his ex-
preston of disapproval of the Admins
tration, as it is SAID to be impossible to
obtain testimony from competent wit
nesses. Civilians cannot be obliged to
testify in naval court inartials, although
their testimony may be taken if vciun-
tarily offered. 1t is not believed that any
direct testimony against Admiral Meade
can be so obtained.
Catholic knights of America.
OMAHA, May 15.-In convention to-day
the Catholic Knights of America consid-
cred the proposition Of inviting all other

was taken, but the indications are that
something of that kind will be done.
There is much objection to that feature,
however.

that the election held Tuesday evening

Sullivan will hold over until the law can

Oakland Creek. Bartels returned from
sealing cruise, and tried on several oc-

All Varieties Of Fruits North of the

Frosts Except Peaches and Grapes,

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SAN Francisco, May l5.-Higher prices
for fruit are expected this year. The
frosts in the great lake region destroying
the fruit crop in that part of the country
will increase the demand from here, and
the product of this State will not be as
great as was expected. In consequence
of the blighting influence of the cold
weather in March, according to informa-
ton given out at the State Board OF Hor-
ticulture, the yield will not be above the
average, and sOme varieties OF fruit WILL
fall below the average.
All of California north of Tehachapi
suffered from the March frosts, particu-
larly in the Napa, Vacaville and Suisun
districts. The first report was that great
damage had been done. then it was said
it would be slight. But the secondary
effects, arising from the chilling of the
+ sap in the trees, caused the greatest dam
age, ana now apricots. prunes, Bartlett
pears and some cherries are dropping.
Apricots are in the worst condition. In

and in other sections One-third OF crop.
In some places the apricots are total
loss.
Cherries have dropped some from the
the trees in Alameda. Napa, Sonoma and

however, q fair crop of this fruit.
Bartlett pears are dropping badly. es-
pecially north of San francisco. Prob
ably there will be two-thirds crop in

Prunes are also dropping in Sonoma

orchards into account, Inc crop will still
be large. unless the dropping process
should grow worse from this time on.
Peaches are in profusion all over the

Grapes were not much injured either by
the March frost or the hot wiuds of last
