have removed to New Mexico, and that it is the intention of the Indians to do all the iniurv nossible and as auicklv as they can. In Mexico about three weeks ago three Mexicans were killed who were travelling bevond Chihuahua and further south. The Mexicans were at the time of the massacre riding along in wagons. There were at least a dozen of them occupying four wagons. The Indians attacked the party, two hours before sunset, and before the travellers were aware that there was danger they had effected the damage reported. The Mexicans had as the first warning of the onset the cries of the savages to notify them that in a moment or two they were to encounter the enemy and drive them or meet death. The men who were in the train appear to have all been aware they must tight to the end, for as soon as they discovered the indians were on hand, and that it was a case of fight- or die, they handled their guns like soldiers and killed two of the Indians. It was of no avail, how ever, as the first volley of the savages laid low three men. All the other vol volleys - leys volleys were harmless, and the fight ended by the retreat of the Apaches. The troops of Old Mexico are after the In dians in dead earnest, and are likely to kill or capture them. A Defaulter Skipn. San Francisco August 1.
