Crook and Mexican Troops Co.
operating.
Ell PAso Tex. J, May 2-Considerable
amusement is created by press dispatches
from Washington, to the effect that the
Departments of State and War forbid
Crook entering Mexico in pursuit of
hostile Apaches. General Crook has
entered Mexico and has been in the Sierrr
Madres at least four days. 1t is also
true that the Mexican authorities are
cooperating Two companies are NOV
ing from the Chihuahua side and two
from the Sonora side. Other troops are
in the field on both sides of the frontier
to prevent the hostles from escaping or
breaking through the Gordon. The War
Department seems afraid that General
Crook has gone TO make raid on Mexi-
can resident Apaches. The Times of
this place, which has ample sources of
information, says that both the Mexican
officers and General Crook consider that
the present movements are made only in
Pursuance Of continued pursuit, and are,
therefore. in accord with the military
convention allowing the troops OF either
country to follow hostile bands. 1t also
says the hostile Apaches are not resi-
dents of Mexico but renegades from the
United States, who make Mexico a
place for escaping pursuit. The present
movements are part OF continuous
campaign.

their way, they said, to Fort
Davis to pay troops at that
point. Just before leaving Oberlin
the breakfast station, the following
morning, the officer told the conductor

he and his clerk each had the same
amount in their valises; that he took
his into the berth and selpt with his
arm on it. AT 3 A. NJ. he had it, but on
rising for breakfast it was gone. He
accused the clerk of taking 1t, but the
clerk denied it, The car was searched
by the conductor, but no trace was found
of the missing valise. At Colorado
the whole train was searched by the
United States Marshal, with futile re.
suit A. H. Walker, the porter, says
that both parties were very drunk when
they came on board, and that the clerk
could hardly be kept awake while the
berth was being made up
