The Imprisoned Troops Wait- ing For Reinforce- ments. The Couutry Swarming With Bloodthirsty Apaches. National Assocated Press. Juicaco, IlL, September 5H.— special from Tucson says the delay getting tidings of Col. Carr and his command is believed to be caused by the numerous streams which have swollen from the recent rains in the mountains, The telegraph line to Fort Apache has been down for sev- eral days, and the distance is over 100 miles, a portion of which must be doubled. Licutenant Kerr, post adjutant at Camp Lowell, who is well acquainted with Carr's method of dealing with the Indians, places no reliance on the carriers, and believes that he will yet turn up with a portion of his com- mand. Troops have begun to arrive from California. Company A, Twelfth infantry, and company I, Eighth in- fantry, passed through Tucson yester- day on their way to the front. Sev- eral more companies will pass through to-day, if not detained by wash- outs on the Southern Pacific railroad. It is now raining heayily. Two friendly Apache chiefs, Eske- mazin and Langela, advised the set- tlers on the lower San Pedro three days ago to leave for Tucson, that something bad was brewing among the Indians on the reservation. One hundred and fifty Indians, supposed to be Mescaleras, attempted to board the west-bound passenger train on the sSouthern Pacific road yesterday fifteen miles west of Deming. It is believed sthat they are on their way to join the White Mountain Indians. It is veported that a_ranche was at- tacked near camp Bowie yesterday and the entire family of seven persons killed. Wignal lights were observed on all high peaks of mountains to the northwest last night and south as far a8 the Chiricalua mountans northeast of Tombstone. Advices from Camp Thomas state that there is nothing yet direct from Apache. A Mr. Rethrock, of Phe- nix, who left there the 30th ult., reached Thomas lust night. He says he saw no Indians on the road and did not hear of the massacre until he reached that place. He says Col. went out with cighty men, a company of Indiau scouts, and the following | ofticer: Capt. THeatig, Lieutenants| Stanton, Cruse, and Dr. McCreery, | and Col. Carr’s son. | A WHOLESALE REVOLT, Sax Fravaisco, September Troops for Arizona_left this city this morning by special train, to o go through as speedily as possible, The belief of the army ofticers is that | all the Arizona Apaches have joined | in the revolt. Despatches from Fort Thomas say there are no couriers from Fort Apache. Indian runners report that in an attack on the fort a Mexican captain rode General Carr’s horse into the parade ground, recklessly draw- ing the fire of the troops and return- ing the fire as he rode off unhurt. 1t is reported that Lieutenant Gordon and seveu men were killed. A train passing Wilna was pursued four miles. The ranchers are leaving their farms in the neighborhood of Bowie and preparing for defence at that station, A large number of In- dians are in the vicinity, Indian runners lately arrived here continue to confirm previous reports. «Col. Biddle, with a small force, left for Camp Apacheyesterday afternoon. There is no longer any doubt but there will be a general outbreak of all Apache Indians, and exposed settle- ments which are on every side of the reservation must suffer severely, A dispatch from Tucson says Major McLelland, with sixty men of the Sixth cavalry, have left Lowell for Fort Thomas. They go via old Fort Grant, to observe the movements on the lower San Pedro. If half the reports are true, there is a fear of a general uprising of the Apaches, which means a war of extermination, Nothingz further is learned from the scene of the mas- sacre, the women and children bei moved from Thomas to Grant. WasHINGTON, Segtember 5. Secre- tary Kirkwood to-day reccived the following dispatch from Indian Agent Tiftany: “Sax Carros, Arizona. ‘“‘Reports come in that affairs at Cibeene are not 50 bad as reported, Captain Hentrig, sixty cavalrymen and ten others were killed.

Carr and the Apaches: Fort Apache,Soptember 1. Gen. Carr and the sixth cavalry | left here sust 29, with troops D and E, sixth cavalry, and company A, Tudian scouts, one hundred and five tion of arresting an Apache medi man who had been endeavoring to get the Indians to break, and reached Cibueu creek, forty-five miles west of here at 8 o’clock p. m. on the 30th. They found six hundred Indians camped there, and arrested the medi- cine man without resistance. The command then went a few miles from the main Indian village and camped, and the pack train unloaded, when Indians began arriving from every point, but keeping along the range of blufts, some throe hundred yards off. Some of the Indian scocts having at this time left their own camp and came into the camp of the troops. Capt. Hentig ordered them to leaye and while doing so, an Indian turned and fired, Kkilling Capt. Hentig, in- stantly, Fight then became general, The iroops formed a skivmish line and drove the Indians back some dis- tance. The herders were killed by the fiest volley and the herd stampc ded. The fight began at 4 o'clock, lasting nearly Jhree hours, until darkness, whe the Jndians _drew off toward their own camp, It is impossible to tell how many of the hostiles were killed. In ccuncil it was decided im- possibie to hold position against such a large force, ‘T.rere was but one way out of camp, thowgh a bad canyon herd was rounded up, and it was found that the D troops had lost thir- ty-three horses and tie E troovs eight, and in its pack train seven mules and several badly shot, Troops formed a skirmish iine around the entire camp, keeping them out of the post. The fight lasted un- til dark, when the Indians drew off. Capt. Gordon, successor to Uapt. Hentig, was wounded in the leg There were no other casualties. Fir- ing during the first hour was very heavy from the hostiles. We believe that we can keep them out of thepost, but no more. They hastily gathered up the dead, and found seven men and one officer (Captain Hentig) killed. They buried them inside the tent of Carr, which, with everything but the saddles and ammunition, was left on the field a. a blind to cover their retreat. Three badly wounded soldiers were placed on horses, and at 11 o'clock the com- mand started for this post. One of the wounded men died at 4 o'clock the next morning. The Indians did not follow, evidenly thinking them still at Ciben. Gen. Carr made a forced march, not stop- wing anywhere until he reached the post at 4 p. m. on the 31st. His troops were badly used up with hun- ger ard fatigue. The hostiles are swarming through the country, and came within a mile of the post this morning. They burned several build- ings, stampeded a large herd of cattle aud then drew off to the mountains. Couriers who started out were killed within twenty miles of here; also several more are out on escort duty, besides four citizens. This is reported by a friendly Indian spy. but hold the fort until reinforcements reach us.

Chase, commodore of the Cornell flect and captain of the crew, J. G. Allen, J. Lowis, Jr, J. Read and A, H. Comes, were in the party. Shin- kel’s name was on the passenger list, his passage having been engaged in advance, but he left in Londor others of the crew refusing to asso- ciate with him. The members of the crew, dissatisfi and fecling bad, reached the St. Nicholas hotel before meeting a reporter, and there found a letter from Prof. Burbauk, the Cor- nell professor of military sciences, directing Chaso and the crew to say as little as possible, especially to newspaper men, Commodore Chase says he has full evidence ot Shinkel's guilt, Al will come out in due time. When he left London Shinkel had no money, and had none up to the time of the race, The day after the race a gentleman whose name Chase will not give said that Shinkel had asked where he could buy a draft on New York, and he was directed.

National Associated Press Terrr Havre, Ind., September 5, The Gazette to-day publishes an terview with Hon. Dan Voorheos, demoeral United States senator from this state, on the question of the vice president assuming the duties of the oftice of the chiet exccutive in case of the president’s disability After reviewing the many smgula features of the case he says that the cabinet has no right to declare the “inability” of the president, or to in- vite the vice president to act in his place. The duties of the cabinet ofti- cors are specified by law, and they cannot go beyond them. What kind of proclamation could the cabinet issue on this subject? What clause of the constitution or what section of the statutes of the United States could they cite as au- thority for interferlng with the ques- tion at all? Andif the cabinet is to determine the inability of the presi- dent, would they not also have to de- termine his recovery? If we are to submit the questions of physical and nental capacity to persons unauthor- ized by law to decide them, 1 think, after all,we had better]go to thedoctors with them. The truth is, however, that the people must determine them through their representatives in con- gress Question —At the event of the pres- ident’s death, what, in your opinion, would be President Arthur's policy, and what is your estimate of his abili- ty and fitness for the oflice’ Auswer—1 have not the slightest disposition 1o speak in d goment of Mr. Arthur, but, in my candid opinion, he is less fitted for the ofiico of president on the score of ability, training in politics, official experience and intimate surroundings and advis- ers, than any man whose name was ever seriously canvassed in connec- tion with that great position. 1 think the whole country distrusts him, per- haps as much as Ido. There will be a rush to worship the rising sun if he attains the powers, but at heart the feeling of the country is the same as I express.

The President Whirling Away From the Potomac's Ma- larial Shores, The Start Made Early This Morning Under Favorable Auspices, No Tronble Antleipated by the Change to tho Sea Shore. National Associatod Pross Wasmyaron, D €., Sentember §, — The physicians say this morning that the president is fully as woll as he was nd that no new comy tion is threatening him. The pu still Keeps about 100, and the tempoer- ature a little high. Both are attrib- uted to the president’s restlessness during the night. All the evening his mind was full of gomg away. He would ask whether the car had arvived, how soon he would start, where he would be lo- cated at Long Branch and many other questions, He said he knew the jour- ney wonld not hurt him, and that he was anxious to go, So much did this subjeet work upon Lis mind that it interfered with his sleep, and he rest- ed but little before mihuiuh(. After that he slept as soundly as at any time during the present week. The usual enema was adminis- tered at 1 o’clock, At 2:20 the pres- ident took nourishment by the mouth and at 3:50 was sponged off and given more food. No stomach disturbance had ocourred up to 10 o'clock this morning. While the president is thinking so much about going away from Washington preparations for the journcy aro progressing. Beginning at midnight & gang of men have been busy laying the track on Sixth street, and at 10 o'clock this morning had completed a two hundred yard exten- sion of the Baltimore and Potomac track to Pennaylvania avenue so that the president’s bed can be placed on o wagon at the White House, and the wheels need not leave the asphalt un- til the wagon is by the side of the car. All thr s whic to make up the president’s train now at the depot. Workmen are busy putting the fin- 1shing touches on the Eastlake combi- nation ear, which was sent from Al- toona last night. The seats have all been taken out and the car has been thoroughly renovated. A false top has been putin a fow inches below tho regular roof of the car, in order to give the air an opportunity to circulate between it and the roof, 8o as to keep the car cool. The partition has been taken outand replaced by folding doors and storm doors have been added to the platform doors. - Wire gaaze has been ~fat on. ontside of the car, completely en- closing the parlor apartment to keep it free from the dust. The inside has been hung with heavy curtains and Brussels carpets have been laid on the The bed has been placed in its position and mattresses of the very been provided, Two s0 been placed in the car, filled with ice. The sleep- ing aparcment is about thivty feot long and has nine windows on each side.

The bottom of the car is ballasted with iron. All arrangements were completed to-day, and if the president’s condition will allow, and no storm arises, he will probably be moved to-morrow morn- ing. Up to 1 o'clock the president had passed the day as favorably as yester- day. The only difierenco has been the increase in the president’s pulse. Since the noon bulletin his pulse has reached 110, and has fluctuated in that region during the forenoon, The temperature remained a degree above the normal since the forenoon, The physicians say that no alarm has been oceasioned by the high pulse and temperature. The president has not gained sinco yesterday. The high pulseis, no doubt, due in a great measure to the president’s deep anxiety regarding his removal. He is exceedingly anxions for the re- moval and his constant thinking about it causes some irritation. At the White House the people say that the time for the departure has not been fixed, The surgeons are examining the car this afternoon. All will be in readiness to start to-morrow morning, but the condition of the president will have all to do with the t ing, He has had no vomi CAN HE GO TO-DAY! The question of the president’s con- dition narrowed down to-day to whether he will be able to go to Long Branch to-morrow. The general opinion iy that he will.

Heo said that the pulse was high but firm and good and J", general condi- tion satisfactory. Ho would certainly be able to go to-morrow. The gland is doing well and the wound looks botter. The stomach is doing its full part and the president is taking nour- ishment of the same character and va- rioty as for soveral days. At bp. m, Dr. Bliss stated that tho jlan then was to move the president carly to- morrow. Everything will bo in read- iness for him by that time and it will then only be necessary for the sur- geons to.give orders, OF course, if the president should sutfer an untavorable turn to-night, the entire plan will be changed, The mmediate time of the departure de- pends upon the prosident’s condition. If favorable, a half hour would be suf- ficent to have men and things ready to move him. He will be moved be- tweon d 8 a, me—most likely at six. Everything depends on circum- stances. Kvery precaution will be wsed to prevent disturbanco of him on the way, and the peoplo watching the transfer at tho white house are cautioned to refrain from any demon- stration that might excite the patient and lead to serious consequences, He will bo sereened from public gaze The route will be down Pennsylva avenue to Sixth street, where the car will be in waiting. The special train will move off as soon as the president is on his bed, uniess the trip down the avenue may have fatigued or ex- cited him, in which event it will be held until he regainshis composure, He will be taken to the depot on tho bed on which he now lies. The only transfer will be made at the rail- road car when he will be lifted from his present bed and put on a specially prepared bed. Men specially trained for the purpose will carry tho presi- dent on his bed from the sick room down the wide stairway to the north front of the white house, where a conveyance will be found awaiting This covered wagon was built for heavy travel, has a smooth, easy mo- tion and is large enough to accommo- date the presidont’s bedstead, end such of the physicians and nurses as may be selected to accompany him on the drive to the depot. The vehicle of transfer selected will be an Adams oxpress troasury wagon, selected be- cause of its better length than oth- ers inspected. It is on a lovel with the car and a platform will be built at the White House, 8o that it can be backed up to the bed. Dr. Bliss gave his orders that the wagon be in readiness at the White House to-morrow at 5:30 a. m. The railroad people have decided to leave the question of speed to the surgeons. On a trial trip to-day after the train had started Col. Rockwell threw him- self on the mattress and soon satisfied himself it would ride easy. Dr. Bliss then laid down on it und it was found to ride perfectly satisfactory. Tho train was run at different rates of v , hyusgh at for To the surprise of some there was less vibratory motion than at a slower rate, and it is likely that this will be the standard, In making the remov- al to Long Branch very little that smacks of business will be taken from the White House. Mr. Brown will not take the papers bearing upon the oflicial business, and the only busi- 58 transacted at Long Branch will relate to the president’s condition, At the request ot Mrs. Garfield no one will be allowed to accompany the party except those whose presence is necessary, and no provisions are mads for representatives of the press. They will not be allowed on the train, The cabinet officers will not be included in the party. It will consist of the at- sist of the attending surgeons, Dr, Agnew, Mrs, Garfield, Miss Mollie Giarfield, Mrs, Rockwell, Miss Ro well, Dr, Boynton, Gen. Swaim, Col. Rockwell, Socrotary Brown, and pos- sibly Col. Corbin and one or two others. None of the clerks or doorkeepers will go on the train, Whoever is needed will be sent tor, Mr. Pruden will be in charge of the white house, which will be closed for repairs. People of Washington will hold an union service at Lutheran memorial church from 10:30 to 12 to-morrow in recogmtion of the proclamation set- ting the day apart for prayer for the president. Preparations continue to go forward. The train was all in readiness before 10 p. m., and the express wagon was before the door by dark, although it had been ordered to be there only be- fore daylight. Little by little the paraphernalia of the trip had been conveyed to the depot during the eyen- ing, and the impression provailed be- fore 10 p. m, that the start would be made by daylight. The doctors were rather reticent regarding the matter. but it was no socret that spme plan was to be adopted to avoid as much of a crowd as possible. Becretary Lincoln and Major Brock, chief ot police, had a conference early in the evening in regard to the military and police cacort to the wagon down the avenue, This will be suflicient to keep back the erowds, AT THE SEA SHORE.
