FL PAso, May 1.-THE Times which ha
been paying great attention TO Genera
Crooks movements. has nothing to tn,
present writing OF the reported disaster Il
him. On the contrary il has details from
Chihuahua from Mexican sources OF conf
dental character that Crooks operations a:
now reported are on the head waters OF
Yugin river, which runs across Sonora and
emptles into the gulf Of California. Ii is O
very broken. rugged region. and hasslone
bsen an Apache refuge. Crook operates
from the west on the Sonora side of the
Sierra Madre. The Mexican commanders
are evidently operating in accord with the
plans prearranged with Crook. The two
forces cannot now be over 80 miles apart.
Generals RoEera and Guerra, commanding
on the Chihuahua, have confidence In
Crooks safety. One column of 800 is
pushing rom the neighborhood Of Casa
Grande aud was four days ago not over
eighty miles from where Crook is reported
as fighting. No deiinate news can be oh.
tanned tonight from the west.
A special to the Chronicle sends the fol-
lowing by courier to San Joss and on the
Mexican Central and thence to this point,
CARRoLITFs, May A.-News has just
been received here that General Crook
engaged strong force OF Indians, supposed
to be composed of JUS and Locos' Bands,
together with stray renegade hOstiles, last
week at Guaynopa, On the Sonora slope, OF
the Sierra, In the neighborhood of Cosa de
Janos. There is great uncertainty as to the
date when the fight took place. The
mountain spurs at the point indicated are
the favorite resorts of the Apache and are
peculiarly inaccessible which &C.
counts for the intrenched position
Of the hostiles and confidence which they
exhibited, holding their ground with thirty
three men, when they broke and fled fol.
lowed by the victorious American troops.
They are supposed to have made way
towards CarCay, in Cascade JarOs, ON the
Chihuahua slope ofthe mountains, where
they will probably make a last stand. The
operations arOu ID Cascade Jaros will be ira
versed literally without road or even good
trails and mountain passes admirably adap-
ted TO surprises. The town of Lamarepa
which lies IN northwesterly direction
seventy.five miles from Guayanopa, con.
tains 1000 inhabitants and is the largest
town on the Sonora slope Of the Sierra
Madres. That Crook will endeavor to
penetrate into this almost unknown region
there Is no doubt, and as he advances the
Mexican troops will draw close their Gordon
on the Sonora side, and the Mexican col

from the various pursuits OF General Crook
and Colonel Terrezon on one side
Of the mountain. and Colonel
Gallardo on this side. Crook

municati0n with the Mexican forces co-ope-
rating on the side Of the Sierra by sending
couriers through the pass on the military
road and then heading for Santa Maria
river from here in less than two days. San
Jose station, about fourteen miles from I'll
Paso on the Mexican Central, can be
reached by the general and placed in com
munoation by wire with his government.
Every one here, and the little town has
large American population, are delighted
with the news, for II means that the hostile
Apaches are at last doomed to total extinc-
ton, and that the Serras and their vast
treasures are about to be opened to the
world of enterprise and capital.
