APACHE HOSTILES WHIPPED.

The Savages Break Away, and Are Endeavoring to Get Into Old Mexico. The New Mexican Indians have for several days back been on the rampage, killing settlers, stealing stock, and generally painting things red. The palefaces are now having their innings. however, and the copper-colored cutthroats are on the dead run. A dsipatch from Deming, New Mexico, reports: “Capt. Smith, of the 4t;i cavalry, had an. engagement with renesades. about thirty miles irom Alma, in which three soldiers and three Indian scouts were wounded. The Indians were repulsed, but with what loss is not known. Sixteen companies and sixty Indian scouts are now in the field and will be shortly re-inforced by two hundred Indian scouts from the San Carlos Agency, Arizona, composed of Tontos, Mojaves, and Arivapai At the time of the engagement with the troops Geronimo had his women, numbering about one thousand, in advance of the warriors, of whom there are thUty-four adnlt and half-grown braves. Gen. Bradley expresses the opinion that the renegades will, if pressed too closely, strike for Cook's Canvon, *nd into Mexico, east -of Deming. In anticipation of this move, two companies of troops have been sent to inter- ■ cept them at the canyon. The troops are crowding the reds on all sides, and another conflict is expected at any moment. So far eight men are reported killed, three near Alma, and five in the Mogoll4n Mountains." A Washington dispatch states that a telegram in regard to the recent Indian outbreak, of which the following is a copy, has been sent to the commanding Generals of the Divisions of the Pacific and of the Missouri: “Use every exertion possible, and call for all assistance of Federal troops you may require, to suppress the Indian outbreak in Arizona and New Mexico. These outrages must be stepped in the shortest time possible, and every precaution taken to prevent their occurrence in the future. By order of the Secretary of War. “ft. 'C. Dbum, Adjutant General.” The above order is the result of a cpnference 'between the President, the Secretary of War, • and Mr. Oliver S. Teall, of New York.
