New YORK, May r. The World
points to the steady growth OF the im- |
portation and smoking of opium. and
recent large arrivals. 1t says opium |
smoking is steadily increasing in New |

recently published the confession of |
woman who kept a fashionable smoking |
parior up town which is trustworthy. |
1t shows that ladies Of good society arc |
her regular customers. There IL every |
reason to believe that opium is regular |

Peel streets, though it may not lead to |

WAsHINoToN, May 12.-rhe Secretary
OF War this evening received informa-
ton Of General Crooks command. |
There are no apprehensions as to his

violated its provisions. There is no
foundation for the reports that he will |
be in danger of court martial for DISC |
bedience Of orders, or that his acts |
would cause disturbance of the friend |
~ relations between the United States |
and Mexico. War department. officials !
expect the forces OF Mexico and Crook |
will DO able either to hem il the Apaches,
starve them or destroy them by superior |
| force. The War Department il not ad- |
vised Of the number of the command |
which Crook has taken with him. That |
Is matter of detail known at the de- |
partment headquarters Of Crook, report
OF which has not We. been forwarded to |
