Col. H. R. Clum, Acting Commissioner of In- dian Affairs, to-day received the following com. munication from Messrs. H. M. Atkinson and ‘Thomas G. Williams, special United States In- dian commissioners to remove the Kickapoos from Mexico tothe United States. The letter is dated Zaragosa, Mexico, July 11, 1873: We have the honor to report that on the 7th Inst., the Indian chief Chequam-ka-ko, and Michael Thomas, our Kickapoo interpreter, returned to Fort Duncan, to notify us that the Indian chiefs of the Kickapoo, Pottawottomie, Lipan, and Mescellero tribes ‘of Indians were assembied near Remolino, awaiting a conter- ence with the commissiouers. We immediately started for the camp, and arrived there on the morning of the 9th inst., and held a council with them. There were present nearly all the chiefs of the two tribes first named, together with the head chief of the Mescelleros, who was authorized to act for the Lipans. They intormed us that they had received word from a new Mexican commissioner that he desired to see their principal chief at Saitillo, and that they 1ad sent one of their chiefs there to see what this new commissione had to sav on the subject of their removal to the United States; that although they would go with yet they could not give usa final answer until the return of the chief Wa-pa-si from Saltillo which would be inatew days. They further insisted that they be allowed to go to the Kicka- rve in Kansas, and there consult with sas portion of ‘their tribe in reference to the selection of their reservation, and be per- mitted to remain there until the same had been selected. The head chiefs further desired that after the arrival in Kansas we would take three or four of them ty see the great father at Washington and talk with him in relation to their reservation. They also insisted on going without anescort of troops, and wish to go 4 route far west of all settlements until they had passed Texas and reached the Indian territory. ‘The Mescellero chief did not long remain at the council, but said if they went ney wished to go to the reservation onthe head waters of the Pecoo river, near Fort Stanton. While the council was in session, this chief took a horse belonging to a Mexican and left very uncere- moniously, although it was thought he had only gone to Kemolino to await the termination of our council with the Kickapoos, and would return in the afternoon. The Indians informed Col. Montero, the Mex pmmander, that 2 Mexican living at Re- , (some tour miles distant.) had been pt massacred they wan lit pon an island and left te him brought to camp, where he wa: by us, but he denied at first making the statement, but finally ad mitted the fact, and acknowledged that he Leen to their camp. The pres 7 bo was with us, then aud there sente een days’ inprisonment, and tinued him in On the following day the chiefs again met ns in Council at Zaragoso, and reiterated the former requests, and informed us that Wa-pa si would return in a few days and in eight da they would meet us again, and if the ch’ i, received from the governor and tl commissioner trom the City of Mexico, a con- firmation of Col. Montero’s statement relative to the desire of the Mexican government that they should return to the United States, that the whole matter would be conciuded, and that they would start immediately with us to the United States. Should tey now fail to go vie fault will be entirely with the Mexican govermment, for if they are in earnest they will confirm Senor Montero’s statements, and in that event the Indians will certainly go.” The chief Che- quam-ka Ko, and Michael Thomas, the inter- preter who accompanied us from Kansas, have worked unceasingly and earnestiy for our suc- cess, and to them and Colonel Montero we are chiefly indebted for the present favorable aspect of matters relative to the object of our mission. From the present condition of things we deem our success almost assured. We have had the whole resident population of Santa Kosa, Pledras, Neguas, Keuulino and other Mexican towns Opposed to the success of our mission, and as rapidly 2s one obstacle was removed another hasarisen; yet we trust chat no further serious Obstacles will present them- selves. We here desire to state that the of the presence of Kickapoo Lutians on the Sau Antonto road is false, as the warriors of that tribe have not been out of Mexico recently, anc the Indians referred to by the San Ai papers, are, as we believe, Comanches and <iowas from the Indian territory Stavery or Iranian Cnitpren.—At the trial of Glione, the Italian padrone, before the city court of New Haven yesterday, four boys testified that they had been in this country twenty-one months, and bad been kept in the Crosby street den, in New York, until they were brought to New Haven; that they were beaten and kicked unless they brough' pre- seribed sum of footy every night, were told by Glione to steal if they could not earn th se a ‘The contracts under which clatme a right to bold the were and Is eforé-the court, it iy crepes that the boys’ services bad been sold to him by their parents for four or five years, at an average rate of $20 per year,and that with the pro- virion that the parents should pay for medical seryices, and should forfeit the wages and a fineof $30 if the boys should run away during the term ot service.
