Excellent Results.

Special correspondence to the New
Mexican, concerning the party Of
eastern capitalists, who have recently
| examined a proposed railroad route
from Ell Paso to White Oaks, N. M,
refers briefly to visit paid to the
Mescalero Indian reservation in charge
of Lieutenant Victor Stottler. 1.-The
members of the party" says our cores
pondent, "were filed with wonder at
the results accomplished by Lieuten-
ant Stottler in improving the condition
| of these former savages.'
| 1t may be we'll enough to mention
| the fact. that the members of the Eddy
| party are not alone in marvellng at the
results obtained by the agent az this
reservation, during the few years of
| his incum bency. Wherever his work
| is known, it has received the warmest
concentration.
Upon taking charge of these Indians
two and a half years since. he came to
| the conclusion that something was
wrong with the system of training
which had been pursued to that time
He therefore decided to map out a
system of his own, and to depart from
the old methods.
This change of method has been
more than justified. He found his
wards in a condition close akin to
savagery. They refused to wear the
clothing of civilized people. to live in
civilized habitations, to send their
children to school, to work-iu short
they refused point blank to do every
thing that the new agent desired that
they should do, in pursuit OF the plan
that he had decided upon. They wore
their hair after the manner OF savageS
of the plains, and when ordered to
adopt the fashion of civilization in this
respect small revolution was the re-
suit. Every order issued by the agent
was fiercely resented and opposed, and
only a man of wonderful tenacity Of
purpose and great courage could have
withstoOd the storm of opposition that
beat about Lieut.. StOttler during the
first year of his work at the reserva-
ton. He stayed with it, however, and
won. With firm hand he brought
order out of chaos, and the extent of
the transformation that he has worked
is befor e the country.
Nearly all of the children attend
school. Their parents have given up
huts for homes and have thrown away
the blanket and the breech clout for
the dress of civilization. The men
have become farmers and producers,
and the women housekeepers. They
have learned to put upon their houses
the paint with which they formerly
decorated their faces. They cut their
hair, but have given up cutting throats,
and have learned that it is better to
raise potatoes and grain, than Hades.
Lieut.. Stottler has indeed accomplish
ed wonderful results, which should
commend him to the distinguished
of the department at
Washington for all time-New Next
can.

TINS gang was first heard from in
August last, when numerous post
offices and stage robberies were per-
petrated in New Mexico. From there
they were next heard of at NOgales,
where they attempted the robbery OF
the international bank and failed. They
were Overtaken in the Chricahua noun
tains by a pursuing posse and an en-
counter ensued in which Inspector
Robinson, of the custom house guards
was killed, and the posse then return
ed. From that time the gang have
perpetrated numerous robberies in
both Arizona and New Mexico, but
nothing worthy of note until October.
when they attempted train robbery
about 100 miles west of Albuquerque,
New Mexico, at which time Cole Young
one of the gang, was killed. They
were next heard from at Huachuca
siding, where they sacked the railroad
station and secured nearly $400. About
the first of November the postoffice
aud a store at San Simon were robbed
and the outlaws got off with con-
siderable amount of merchandise, but
did not secure much from the post
office. They were next heard from
near the line of chihuahua, Mexico.
where on the 18th of November, Bob
Hayes, one of the outlaws, was killed
by the United States marshal's posse.

KNOXVILLE FIRE.
Fifteen Guests OF the Knox Hotel I'm

Knoxville, Tenn, April 9.-Of the so
guests who were sleeping in the hotel
Knox yesterday morning when the fire
! broke out, only So have been accounted
for. The hotel register was destroyed
and it will perhaps e " be known how
many lives were lost. Those known to
have persisted in the flames are: A. E.
Weeks of Locke, N. Y, drummer; C. w.
Roberts, of Pulaski, Tenn, a lightning
rod agent; e. e. Williams, Springfield,
Mass, a retired merchant. kilograms
have been pouring in all day from differ
ent cities inquiring about people sup
posed to have been in Knoxville.
The work of searching for remains
in ruins was begun late this afternoon
the list OF dead will be much larger than
at first thought. Charred remains were
found in different localities Of the ruins.
L. a. Williams of Springfield, who be-
yond a doubt was burned, was 63 years
old and was travelling south for his
health. Of those injured, perhaps only
one will die, J. c. Boyle, Of Tennessee, a
civil engineer lies in a very critical con
dition in the hospital. The total prop
erty loss sustained will foot up $1,6l1,-
900. Total insurance, $614, 299. 70. Many
