SAN Francisco, May Am III Paso,
Texas, special of the 9th to the Chron-
jcie says: Information from General
Crook, by way Of Janos, Chihuahua, is
expected here almost hourly. 1t is be-
iieved that he will have reached that
place by this date. Reports by citizens
have come, indicating that the direction
Of Crooks march to Janos is about
seventy-fivc miles from Guadaloupe
Cafon. the frontier point at v hich Crook
entered Mexico. His first watering
place would be Ojo de Las Mis-
quitos; his second camp was
probably dry one at Blanco. Janos Is
. town Of over !, 500 inhabitants, and is
q military district headquarters. 1t is
the eastern foothold OF the Sierra Marie.
1t is stated by army scouts to be the
point from which movements into the
mountain Businesses must be made.
There is considerable area in therange,
and below the line Of march presumed
to be followed by Crook, that
has seldom, If ever, been penetrated
BY any but hostile Indian bands, the
remnants OF which are now to be sub
iugated. That the Mexican forces under
Major-G @ General Cato in both Chihuahua
and Sonora ara operating in conjunction
with General Crook and our forces is
made evident by the dispatch received
from Hermosillo, Sonora, dated yes-
terday, announcing a sharp fight at
Lagushia Canon, 1853 miles south
east of that city. That would
be in the heart Of the Sierras and near
the location indefinitely described as the
Apache stronghold. The fight shows by
the number Of killed and wounded that
the Indians are more numerous than the
military outgivings have indicated. The
point at which the Sonora fight occurred
Is estimated to be at least $50 miles
south of Crooks present line Of march.
