 Douglas. Jan. 20.-Colonel Roster iitzkis camp. just out of Agua Prieta, was visited yesterday by reporter of he Bisbee Daily Review. and the Colonel was seen for a few minutes. He had teen quite i'll for q few days. but was feeling somewhat better when the reporter called. He had thirty two men with him, and the whole out fit is camped just below the Nacozari railroad depot al a little ranch house.
 The Colonel was asked fer his opin- ion of the whereabouts Of Alvord and Stiles. the Arizona outlaws. te said that they were in the United States and in his opinion they have never left it since they broke out ot the Tombstone jail He had good reason to know that Stiles was at his home on the San Pedro recently, and hac on several occasions visited his wife The story that went the rounds of the papers that the outlaws were in Cananea the Colo1el said was false. as they were neS d. in that part of Mexico The outlaws nave friends in Mexico who sent out reports that they have seen both men for no other reason than to mislead the officers on the Arizona side of the line.
 The oli soldier said th2l he iii lot think much Of Alvord or Stiles.
 They are much overrated. anG as for being the bad men they are paint ed they are long ways from it. The Colonel was asked what his men would do if they should find the out laws He said hat they would not take any chances with them
 In speaking about the Quaqui trou- hles that are cons -antly being report ed 0y the pape 5. the Colonel said that they were all untrue. The "a ouis are not at war as a whcle. few Of them are bushwhacking in the lower country. but they are not max ing much trouble for the government. The report tha- the Seris are on the warpath is a falsehooG. The Seris are as peaceful as the Papagos- The Colonel ha6 a little fight with he Se- ris some time ago and killed eighteen of them. when the remainder took to their heels. They are not well arm ed. having only a few old 4 Winches- ters and but little ammunition
 Colonel Kosterlitzki was much in terested in the Wood controversy at Washington. He knew Wool when ne was in Arizona. and coosiders him very good soldier.
 Colonel Kosterlitzki said that he had heard a story which said that he had at one time been a soldier in the United States army. This was mistake. He has been in the Mexican army for over thirty years, starting as a private and rising from rank to rank until he received his commission as colonel. During the last aqui outbreak the Colonel made a good rep utation fer himself. He cid with his few men in short time what some of the Mexican officers had been try ing years to do with whole regiments. Kosterlitzki gave the YaQuis their worst defeat.
 During the trouble between Con. O'Keefe and the Greene company at Cananea, Kosterlitzki's arrival on the scene of hostilities saved one of the bloodiest pages in the history of Son. ora from being written. O'Keefe's crowd of armed Mexicans were trying to take the company office by force. Greene had a few Americans who were there 10 see that the O'Keefe crowd did not take the office, and battle would have taken place had not Kos terlitzki arrived with sixty men to keep the two factions from fighting.
 The Colonel left for Fronteras this morning and will remain there for al short time.
