WASHINGTON, May S.-Itis not beyond
the range Of probability that General
Crook may wind up his little iaunt into
Mexico with a court martial. At any
rate the Department has washed its
hands of him, and he is going ahead
upon his personal responsibility. There
has been 8 good deal Of talk abont the
matter, aud among other things it has
been alleged that the Secretary Of War
allowed Crook - 20 aie 81 with the
for his expedition until the
Last moment. when his countenance WAS
withdrawn in the order of days ag,,
which was delivered inst before Crook
crossed the border. The facts are quite
to the contrary. The war department
never countenauced the expedition be-
cause it had no knowledge Of what
Crook was doing. He organized
the campaign on his own responsibility.
Day after day press dispatches from Ar
lzona announced that Crook was organ
izing for raid across the border,
not word came from
Crook himself. The Secretary came to
the conclusion TINT something must be
going ON. Day after day he inquired IL
anything had been heard from Crook.
The reply was always the same, "Noth-
ing" The week passed. aud on Satur-
day the Secretary determined not to let
the matter proceed without securing the
Departments rights, and he sent dis
patch reminding Crook that no cross
ing OF troops into Mexico could take
place, except In accordance with the in
ternationM agreement. Crook replied
that the message had Just reached him
at the boundary, and nothing would be
done In contSavention Of the agreement.
With this he went on and has placed
himself in very delicate position, the
Department having Como so far as TO
call his attention to the law. Tho Of
Tense, II there he any, In the end must
rest with tho General personally.
