A Fine I'm posed for Contempt.
MARYsvILLE, Cal, May 15.-The case OF
Yuba County vs.. Eureka Lake Hydraulic
Mining Company was called to-day in the
Superior Court before Judge Keyser on
defendants motion to vacste the order re-
quiring defendants to show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt OF IN
junction in discharging debris into 1uba
River. The motion was denied and the
Court imposed a fine Of $3.50 Tor contempt.
The ground of the motion was purely
technical. The injunction in this case was
issued by Judge Blanchard. Six months
ago, when the suit was begun, they we're
served with an injunction, but the debris
from the mine has ever since been contin-
uously pouring into the Yuba River. Re-
peated attempts to serve on the agent OF
the company an order requiring defendant
to appear and show cause why punishment
for contempt should not be inflicted,
were evaded. Finally service of an order
WAS made on the company's attorneys.
This is the first time in anti-debris litiga-
ton that service of this character has
been made on the attorneys.
Gen. LOPez's Opinion.
SAN Francisco, May ia Hermosillo,
Mexico, special says: This evening Gen.
Lopez. commanding the troops of Sonora,
thinks Crook encountered the Apaches re-
Gently driven into their stronghold in the
Sierra Madres. The Apache question will
never be settled, says Lopez, while they
are retained at the San Carlos reservation,
being too close to the ~renegades. The
Sonora people think the Indian Agent en-
courages the Indians to leave the reserva-
ton to depredate and steal in Sonora, car
rying back the plumber to the reservation,
and exchange it for arms and ammunition.
He adds that the removal and extermina-
ton of the Apaches is the only solution.
He has confidence in Crooks ability to
conquer the renegades, ard hopes the
United States Government will appreciate
the difficulties and hardship he is now en-
counteriDg.
Fears for Gen. Crooks Safety.
SAN Francisco, May 15.-An Ell Paso,
Texas, dispatch Of last night says: Serious
fears are felt by the Mexicans as to Crook.
1t is generally conceded that he will have
a brilliant success or a great defeat. From
Janos, $50 miles southwest of here, in
Chihushus, the Mexican point from which
military news must come, the army off,
GERS have been unable to obtain decisive
intelligence. Crook was expected there q
week ago. Now it is known that he has
undertaken to penetrate the heart Of the
mountains directly southwark. Janos Is
a military station, and SO related topo-
graphically to the mountains that all trails
must reach Ell Paso, near by.

special Of to-day says that DR.. Thomas,
pastor Of the First Baptist church Of
Brooklyn, formerly Of San Francisco. and
whose Chinese school is attached to his
church, said regarding the present Chinese
excitement: The Chinese herd together,
not from choice, but from necessity. The
Italians and Others do the lame. Opium
smoking they learned at home, which the
Chinese authorities would prevent were ii
not for British Interference. Mr.. Thomas
thinks their exclusion a mistake, particu-
larry 40 from California, where the climate
lie similar to that Of India, for the growth
