Indefinite News About Crook.
Ell PAso, Tex June The Chroai-
Gle special correspondent at chihuahua
writes that there is undoubtedly some
| information about Crook in possession
of General Rcguerra's headquarters.
That it is not decisive is certain, and it is
probable, also, that Crook is working
further south than is supposed. The
Indians appear to be attempting to con
fuse the troops by sending small detach-
ments ont, but the main body, under
Juh aud Geronimo, are still together at
this point.
The State Grangers under State
Adjutant General King and Colonel B.
Taylor. are preparing Tor an interesting
expedition, which has some relation to
Indian matters.
Opening of the Thomas Concerts
success.
SAN FRANCISCO, June Ill the open
ing Thomas concert can be taken as a
criterion of the Others that are to follow,
then the affair is an undoubted
success. The immense Pavilion,
transformed at great expense into a
handsome concert hall capable OF seat
ing forty-two hundred people, was
crammed in every part. The scene pre-
scented was striking in its grandeur.
Those present represented the wealth
and culture of San Francisco. High ex-
pectations had beeu raised hut the audi
ence was apparently not disappointed.
| The opening overture, from Wagner
"Trnnhauser, was finely rendered and
warmly greeted. So also was Beetho-
ven's seventh symphony in allegretto.
Thomas, apparently, was eminently
pleased, his face being radiant with
smiles. The arrangement of the audi
| torium is good and commands a view of
the stage from all parts, The acoustic
properties of the hall are excellent,

rious tempos and shading was revela-

made his first bow before n San Francis

very pleasant voice and an easy manner.
