GERONlMO-APACHE CHIEFTAIN.

The Chirlcahua Apache tribe of
Indians is one of the worst bands Of
savages left on Uncle Sans hands.
So determined has the opposition to
their mlsdeeds become that the settlers
and cowboys Of Arizona and New
Mexico have entered upon war Of
determination. The Apaches are un-
der the leadership of Geronimo (pro-
nounced Hayron ee-mo), half breed
Me xican, who wa. captured while yet
boy by the Apaches during one of
their numerous raids into Mexico
Being thus under the control If the
savages, 1t is not strange that he affil-
lated himself with all Of their schemes
and desires, and in time he became
one of their chiefs. Having as tutor
the famous Cochise, it is natural that
he should become versed in every de.
tail of Indian warfare. The Apaches
will be remembered as the tribe which
gave General Crook, the famous In
dian fighter, so much trouble few
years ago. Taking refuge in the ST.
ezra Madrc mountains: they deted all
efforts by the United States troops to
dislodgc them, and compelled General
Crook to call to his aid friendly Indian
tribes, who, armed with superior rifles,
at last forced the belligerents to sub
init. Placed upon the reservation at
San Carlos, they were encouraged in
industrial pursuits, but the spirit of
independence could not be subdued,
and accordingly, under their chief,
krattini, commenced hostilitics, which
were, however, nipped i'll tho bud.
The young chief was arrested, tried,
and sentenced to three years impris-
onment on Alcatraz Island. The Pc
culiar situation of the Apache tribe
makes them exceedingly difficult OF
subjugaton. Situated, as they are,
almost on the border line between the
United States and Mexico, they can
take refuge in either country in the
event of being too hard pressed by
the authorities of the other.

Tho Amccr Of Afgl,anistsn.

Ameer Abdurmhman Khan was born in
1880. He is the eldest son of Afzul Khan,
and is thus grandson Of Dnst Mahom-
med, who ruled Afghanistan till lis death
in 1863, and nephew to the late Shere All,
who was deposed and expelled by the Brit
ish invasion of 1879, and who died sooa
afterward in exile. When Shore Ali VIVA
was recognized by the English, Abdurrah-
man, who had married q daughter of the
Turkish Ameer OF Bokhara, took refuge in
those countries north Of Afehanistan be-
yond the Oxus, which had then not yet
been subjected to Russian control. He was
pursued, however, by the prosecuting spite
Of Shere Ali and Yakout, who had seized
his mother, wife, and sister, and detained
them many years prisoner at Candahar, and
who compelled the Amcer OF Bokhara to
