Complete Accord Between Gen. Crook

SAX Francisco, May ga special from El
Paso says Gen. Fnen0. commanding northern
Mexico, will in two days, arrive at Rio Grande
and take command OF all portions Of Chihau-
hua In conjunction with Gen. Crook In New
Mexico. Col. linda, chief of staff, with his
troops and headquarters, is already at Paso
Del Norte. Col. linda is amused at the idea
Of any difference between the two countries
on account of Crooks operations. Gen. Fueno
comes direct from the City of Mexico. There
is perfecG accord. When Crook reaches GER
tain point, now a military fort, the Mexican
forces will move forward. There seems little
doubt but that final end will be made Of the
hostile renegade Apaches. A dispatch receiv-
ed by the Times here from San Carlos, says
about 300 Indians have strayed from the agen-
cy proper TO the northwest part OF the reserva-
tion, near Fort Apache. They evidently be-
lieve they will have better protection near the
