ergetic measures taken to head of Gero-
nimo and his band Of the half hundred
Chiricahua bucks who left their reser-
walton few days ago were put on foot
none too soon. Telegrsphic advices are
to the effect that the red devils have al
ready commenced to mark their flight

ExpelIing Them from German Territory -
HeartrendinG Scenes.
[By cable TO the Dispntch.l
LONDON, May 23.--Private letters
from Posen and Silesia describe the
present expulsion by Germany, at Rus
sia's request, of Russian Poles from
those provinces as being attended by
most cruel and heartrending incidents.
Many Of the Poles who are now being
driven out have been settlers in German
territory for manv years, and had
thoroughly identified themselves with
local interests. Most of them went to
Posen and Silesia to escape from intol-
cradle despotism at home. The de-
crees Of expulsion affect about $4,000
Poles resident in Germany. Eight
thousand Of them have already been ar
rested without warning and conducted to
the German frontier by prussian troops.
The remainder ofthe 80, 900 ordered out
Of the empire consist Of those who had
obtained permits of settlement. The de-
cree Of expulsion gives these a short
respite in order TO allow them time to
settle up their affairs, dispose of their
property, and otherwise prepare for ex'
tradition. Whole villages have already
been depopulated and their refugee IN
hsbitants turned over to the Russian
authorities at the German frontiers.
Numbers of the poor Poles are flee
ing into Austria TO escape enforced re-
turn to the land of their birth. The
news Of all this cruelty has cast chill
Of despair throughout Russian Poland
II is all interpreted by Viennese as 4
fresh evidence of the binding nature o
the present connection between Germa
ny and Russia, and Of their united
policy TO entirely suppress Polish ma
tionality.
