Crook was received at the miiitary headquarters this aiternoon: Siver Ckeeg, A T., 12 miles north of the boundary,via Tombstone —Laft Tombscone May 1st with 193 Apache scouts under COrawford, Gov. Wood Mackey with the Chaffee com- pany of 42 men and the Sixth cavalyy, and rations for two mouths on mules, Followed tho hostiles to Chiracakua, The country i« of Indescribable rough- nesn. A number of mules lost their footing steppiag from the trail, fell down the preclpioes and were killed. The stronghold of the Chiracahuas is in the very heart of the Slerre Madres, The position is finely water- ed, a denss growth of timber and plenty of grase. ‘They had been camped for miies near the head of the Bavispe, ocoupying prominent elevated peaks, AFFORDING A FINE LOOKOUT for miles, rendering surprise almost impossible, and making retreat secure through adjacent canons. Captaln Orawford, with the Iandian acouts, eerly on the morning of May 16th, surprised the village of Chata, the chief who led the recent raid into Arizona and New Mexico, The fight lasted all day. The village was wiped out. ‘i'he damage done cannot be ca- timated. A number of dead bodles were found, but the Indescribable roughness vt the country prevented a count being made. The entire camp, with stock aid everything else belong- ing to It, was captured It was learned from the prisoners taken that the Chira- cahuas were anauimous for peace and had alresdy sent two measengers to try to resch San Carlos. On the 7th they began to eurrender. They sald their people wers 1uoch frightened by our eadden appearance in thelr fast- nesacy, and had SCATTERED LIKE QUAIL They asked me to remain untll they could gather ali the bands together, when they would go back to the reser- vation, By the terma of the treaty my operations were limited to the time of tho fight. I toid the Chle- acahuus to gather up thelr women and ohildren without dolay. They an- swered they could not get them to respond to slgnsle, the fugltives fear ing they might be set by our Apache scouts to entrap them, They told us they had a white boy who was in the village jumpod by our scoute. He had ran off with the rquaws who es- caped, and who had not yet been heard from. They sssured me every one of the band sbould come in if I would rematn a short time, The terms of the treaty embarsssed me greatly, and belng in that rough reglon with RATIONS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING, there belng between three and four hundred Chiracahuas to feed, I was compelled to return with the Chlrac- shens, We foucd six Mexican cap- tives, five women and one child, taken in by Chiracahaus early in May. They are now with the command. These women eay they were captured near the Mexlcan Central rallroad, at a place called Carman. They farther state when the Chiracahuas discovered the Apache scouts were io the country they became greatly alarmed snd abordoned the trall. The 300 head of cattle were driven away from points in western Chihuabua, The cattle were afier— warde pteked up and driven off by a body of Mex/cans We marched back as rapldly as the condltion of the stock and the etrength of the women and children would permit. 1 found the country depopulated for a distance of 100 miles from the Apaches, Tne Chihuahuas incist that 4hey have always llved in the Sierra uladras; that even when the main body went on the rescrvation some remalned bekind In the mountains and have never been on a reservstion, I have strong hopes of being able TO CLEAX TUE MOUNTAINS of the last Apache. Of these now with us are Loco and Nana, so often reported killed, and the famliles of other prominent chiefs. I saw no Mexican troops after leaving the set- tlement In northeast Sonora, I have suoh assurances that the white boy wiil be brought back alive that I am looklng for hlm every moment., I will inform you by coarier.

Special Dispatch to Tus Ban. ADDRESSING THE JURY, WasHINGTON, Jone 12, — Jadge Wylle begno his chargo to the etar route jury this afternoon after thank. ing the jurymen for thelr patient attentlon daring the weary months of the trlal, and reminding them that they had nothing to do with public demand, newswaper articles, or appeals to sympathy, but must decide the case upon the evidercs, He at once com- menced to state the legal polnts in- volved. Judge Wylle then turned to the printed prayers and commented upon those not aiready dlepozed of In his preceding remarks, Touching the amount of credence to be given Rer- dell's testimony, Judge Wylle sald It was not to be di:credited because it was that of an accomplice, if 1t was corroborated by other witnesses and sustained by materlal theory and as- pees of the case. In consldering the testimony given by the defendants, the jury must make allowance for the temptation to which they were exposed, He could not grant the government's prayer that the jury be directed to regard as olrcam- atances tending to prove guilt, the refusal ot the defence to produce books and other written evidence upon notice, That was not law. It did not allow an unfavorable inference to be drawn from such refasal, but it al- lowed the prosecution to give second- ary evidenoe, and it was good for all it could fairly prove, and it conld not afterwards be fmpeached or contra- dlcted, The court thought the jury cculd find any other of the defendants guilty of conspiracy with Rerdell. Of the faliure to call Bosler and William- son the court said the jary was at lib. erty to draw au inference, {f they be. leved that those witnesses conld have glven important evidence, This dls- posed of the prayers for the prosecu- tlon. Judge Wylie theu proceeded to anawer such prayers of the defense as wero designated by that slde, The jury was fnstructed it was thelr duty to fiad there was no conspiracy if the facts proven could be accounted for by any ressonsble hypothesls of innocence based uwpen evidence. A large number of prayers attacking the indictment, upon the ground that it hsd been drafted under Improper statute, and in some places erroneous discriptions glven were, refused. The ninety-ninth prayer, admitting the right of the jury to dlaregard the er= tire testimony of a witness who krnowlngly swears falsely on a mate- rial point, was allowed. The nine- teenth prayer, clothlog the defendants with the presumption of lnnocence until proved guilty boyond a reasona- ble doubt, was aleo allowed, Many of the remaining prayers for the de- fenss were refused, and the remainder withdrawn. A number of exceptions to the charge were noted by counsel for aefense. At Bliss' suggestion the jury were In- structed they mlght find conspiracy between Peck and one of the defend- ante. The foreman asked that the jury be furnished with a copy of the charge, but Judge Wylle smilingly sald that it was ‘‘all in the air.” He had no record of it. If the jury were at & loss In rogard to any polnt of law, the court, upon their applica- tion, would relleve them. Balliffs were then sworn to take charge of the jary. A copy of the instrument was given tho jury and they retired. The court thon tcok a recess uatil 10 o'clock to-morvow morning, with the unde:s that if the jury arrived &b o verdic: bofore 10 o'clock to-night the coart will rezssemble to recelve it CAPITAL NOTES.

Dlapatch to Trn Ban, New York, June 12,—Hon, Henry Watterson, who has heen spending some days with Mr. Tilden,*has wrlt— ten the following account of his visit for Tho Loulsville Courler-Journal, in which paper it will appear to-morrow morning: 1 have been spending a fow days at Greystone with Governor Tilden, and not merely because his old frlends in the west and south have an ever-pres— ent personal {nterest in him, but be- cause his name s at this moment upon the lips of politiolans of every class all over the country, I propose to glve the readers of the Courler Journal some particalar account of him When I parted from him a year ago I dld never expect .to see him again. Indeed, I was so skeptical concerning his restoration to health as to feel & dellcacy aboutintrudiag on his privacy. He was good enough to send for me and I went over to Gramercy Park In a somewhat sorrowful, sympathetlo state of mind, My surprise almost EXCEEDED MY IMAGINATION. The old house was undergolng recon- structlon and enlargement on a mag- nificent scale, but the old lbrary is still the same, belug held from the hand of despoillng splendor, For the Iast, I take it as a tribate of affaction to remorseless old times, old friends, and old books, There I found the governor, If an apparition had stood before me 1 could not have been more astonished. The days cf '76567 seemed to have come back. His low volce was found agaln, Hls oyes wero bright and his cheeks rosy; his intel- lect as sinewey and clear, and his wit as incisive as they were whon he made nothing of RIDING BLACKSTONE T0 HARLEM and back, or driving Kentucky bays irom Gramercy park to Greystone. He took me all over the new house, pointing out the various changes, ex- pleining his vorlons deelgns and die- cussing architectura and architects with characteristic intelligence. He quite tired me out, a favorite malevo- lent way he has of punishing frends, iag lelg » Lok ing through labyrinths of decorative arte and treading tapestried, “and freecoed mazos of corridor and cham- ber. On carrentaffslrs he talked with his uswal pungency and candor. When endurance had ceased to be a virtue, I sald, “Governor, don't you think we have had enough of thie.” He smiled {n his dry, half pungent, haif sarcastlc way, and replied, ‘‘if you are tired we will go down stalrs,” At Greyatone his life is of THE SIMPLEAT AND BUSIEST, He has a farm hard by, and no end of pigs, poultey and blooded stock. Of course I had to be dragged over this farm, and the devices which the old gentleman put elyly forth to trap me {uto some unguarded treason to the butter and eggs of my blue grass country were many and ingenious. I stood my ground like a hero, but 1t must be owned that the gevernor's farming Is, like everything he under- takes, thoroughly well done. I asked him whether he trled to make money out of {t. ¢‘Oh, no,” he eald, ‘it la easler to make it some other way.” While I was at Greystone not so much as a shadow or ghost of a poll- since. The fire department labored |ticlan crossed the thresholi or ap- all last night to extingulsh | peared on the ground.

Thirty-two mules were burned, and it Is rumored that several lives were lost. The shaft Is one of the most valuable in the coal fields, and was worked solely by col- ored men. The loss is thought to be great, — —— Table Talk: Every lady who presides at a table is Interested to know how she can de- pend upon havivg things come upon the table as she would llke them, How often are remarks like this made: ““This is jast my fate; when I espec- ially want a nlce thing, somehow or other it tarns out poor!” A lady expects company for tea. She orders, for lustance, biscults, and they are brought to the table heavy and fndigestible. How many hous keepers can tastify to mortification, as weoll as disappointment under sach clrcomstances! It may not, however, have occurred to them that 1t s not always the “‘cook’s fault,”" Your bls- cults, cakes, pot-ples, puddings, etc., cannot be ralsed with earth or worth- less substitutes, and it becomss your own fault when you permit any bak- ing powder to come into your kitchen about which you know absolately nothing as to its purity or healthful- ness, The market ls flooded with “low- priced Baking Powders, goten up to make an unjust profit by unscrupu- lous manufacturers and dealers, and it 1s worthy tke attention of all house- keepers to note there ls at least one brand of Baking Powder distinetly #old upon Its merits, and which can be relled upon for ite uniform strength and purity, The Royal Baking Pow- der, now known almost the world over, as astandard article, has stood the test of nearly a quarter of a ocen- tury, and Its friends among the ladles are leglon, statesman and philosopher was as un- reserved In his conversatlon as ho was, and always 1s, simple and C)ORDIAL IN HIS HOSPITALITY, One of the young ladles told mo that the little honeehold had got throngh over 200 volumes last wiater. The governor {s a voracious and versatile reader, no lees than an attentive and wise observer of effairs, and we talked of overything from Thomas a'Kempls to Thomas A. Hondricks, Ho playfully observed that the ohief objectlon he had heard to the election of ‘Mr. Carllsle to the speakershlp was that in eome recent volumes, pub. lshed by one Mr. Froude, thero wae a suspicion that ho had mlstreated his wife Hera I must stop. I know that the public s most curlous to learn what are MR, TILDEN'S VIEAS of political affairs, current and pros- peotive. I have no_doubt that if I had s right to speak I could, by falth- fully reporilog bim, make myself at onceentertainingandinstructive. But the oplulons of every man are all his own and his house Is sacred. I never knew a man more entlrely frank In his intercourse with his friends than this sage of Greystone, bat Iam not his mouthplece and it is not for me to come all the way from Kentucky to Now York to do that which he 1s so much better able to do for himself, 1 can say, however, for myself, that nothing passed which leads me to modify the opinion I have so often expressed, that no power on esrth could induce him to accept tho presi- donoy. #pecial Dispatch to T OLeveLaxp, June 12,—A large and Influential conference of executive officers and managers of American and forelgn fire Insurance companies doing general businees ln the Unlted States bogan to-day, and wlil continne to- morrow, The meeling is purely de- liberative, having reference solely to the general Internal polley and man- sgement of the companies, and has nothing to de with rates, legislation or ivllhor matters of Interest to the pub o, SPORTING.

A Chapter of Much Interest to the Poiple and the Nebraska Delegation. Spocial Dispateh to T B, WasniNaToN, June 12,—Senator Van Wyck has written another letter to the postmaster general concerning the Nebraska mail route, recently let to Miner.
