The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga. June 25, 1891
Los Angeles, Cal., June 24. -- The assistant adjutant general received the 
following dispatch from Lieutenant Brett, commanding a detachment in Verns' 
canon, dated Auba village:
"Came to Auba to arrest several Aribes who have destroyed the surveyor's marks 
and threatened to destroy the schools.  When we entered the village we were 
confronted by about fifty hostiles, armed and stationed behind a barricade.  
They openly declared hostility to the government.  The fight was barely 
averted.  A strong force should be sent here with Hotchkiss guns.  I anticipate 
serious trouble, if hostiles are summarily, dealth with."
