Fears Felt for Crook.
SAN FRAScIsco, May I4.--An Ell
Paso, Texas, dispatch of last night, says
that serious fears are felt by the Mexi-
cans a. to Crook. 1t Is generally con-
coded that he will have brilliant sue
cess or great defeat. From Janos. $50
miles southwest OF here, in chihuahua,
the Mexican point from which military
news must come, army officers have been
unable to obtain any decisive intelligence.
Crook was expected there nearly week
ago. 1t is now known that he has I'M
dsrtaken to penetrate the heart Of the
mountains directly southwark. Janos is
q military station and is SO related topo-
graphically to the mountains that all
trains mist reach there or pass near by.
The indian Question.
IT,. ~<.xr<.<. No. Hn.r~
silio lMexco) special this evening says
that General Topetz, commanding the
troops in Sonora, thinks Crook will en-
counter the Apachss recently driven to
the strongholds of the Sierra Madres.
The Apaches, he thinks, could never be
settled while they retained the San Car
los reservation. being too close to rene
gades. Sonora people think the Indian
Agent encourages Indians to leave the
reservation and to dcpredate and steal
in Sonora. carrying back plumber to the
reservat on to exchange for arms and
ammunition. Their removal or exter-
mination is the only pollution to the DIFF
ficulty. He has confidence in Crooks
ability to conquer the renegades, and
hopes the United States Government
will appreciate the difficulties and hard
ships he Ia now encountering.

The latest advices from there say that
for Is miles southwest from Macon the
storm has levelled everything in its
track. farm houses and in most cases all
outbuildings. A meeting was held at
Macon last night to consider the condi-

aid those needing help. Very little
damage seems to have been done east Of
the city. Very few reports are yet re-
ceived.

board number Of immigrants, man
gave the steward box and requested
him as favor to carry il
to New York. The stewards
suspicious were aroused and he
consulted the Captain, who ordered the
box opened. This was done in the pres.
ence OF the Captain and officers, and the
box found to contain an internal machine
The contents of the box were thrown
overheard, but the box itself retained
and note made of the address upon it
