Mr. Minister: I have the honor to communicate
to your excellency that Col. Adolfo T. Valle, under date of the 18th
instant, reports from Chihuahua, by telegraph, to the department of war,
that the band of savage Indians, under command of Victoria, has been
completely defeated, 70 of their number being killed and as many more
made prisoners, the said Victoria being among the former. He also
reports that the Sub-lieutenant Zuniga had defeated another band of
Indians, taking from them seven horses, and that Lieutenant Altamirano
had captured Saturnino Martinez and five other Indians, famous robbers,
who had been devastating the States of Chihuahua and Durango.
This occasion affords me the opportunity to renew to your excellency the
assurances of my very distinguished consideration.
