Guerro commanding ls 10 the field, with
headquarters at San Buenaven,ura. He
has 1900 men and large numbers of
volunteers are coming in from every
direction. In all Indian campaigns by
Mexican troops it IL customary to cali
for volunteers for service in t1s field,
and there are always young men who
answer Ia tine call and act ss guides
and scout, SO that the actual siren. tn
of the Mexican columns now operating
varies daily. AT Casa Grande, from
where it. is believed communication
with Crook will De opened, there are
now 200 regnl4rs. There are only few
volunteers in this command, a. many
are with Lieutenant Colonel Gsllardo,
who left Casa Grande to scout for Crook
on the 18th inst. There is no commu.
nication whatever with Gallardo, who
is as virtually lost as Crook himstli,
but this does not seem to assonish the
Mexican officers, who, knowing the
country, do not anticipate danger.
From Casa Grande the chief scouting
parties have been furnished, showing
plainly that Crook is expect ID to b.

mining town of Corralitos, and, still
further east of north, the town of Janos,
where another column OF 200 Mexican
regul .rs is stationed at points cor.
