HORRIBLE MASSACRE.
THE BLoODs OF THE NORTHWEST TER
RIroRY ON THE WAR PATH
Hundred Innocents Fall Under the
Tomahawk.

Word has been received from the Crow
Greek agency, Northwest territory by the
department of mounted police in Ottawa,
that the Blood Indians of that reservation
have gone on the war path and are devas-
tating the vicinity in revenge for the kill
Ing OF six OF their number by the Gros
VentrcS. They left their reservation, so
the report states, on the morning OF Sept.
2S, after war dance, and went south TO
Hudson, n. w. T., where they came on
small settlement of whites, some 10 III
number, Of whom ten were women and
children These were also killed and
scaped, the besiegIng party carrying off
the scalps as trophies on poles They then
continued OH their way toward the eros
Ventures settlement. Along their tracks
were many farm houses of settlers. These
were all laid in ashes and the inhabitants
killed and scalped
Not less than 100 whites have SO far fallen
victims 10 the red devils knives. Among
those killed are two Roman Catholic mis-
sionaries at the Crowfoot agency, whose
bodies are said 10 have been terribly mu-
tiatcd. All the whites at the reservation,
killed
After leaving the agency. about 30 miles
toward the American border the Crowfeet
fell in with about 90 eros Nentres, and II
desperate fight ensued. The killed and
wounded ON each side cannot be estimated
correctly, but is believed the Crowfeet lost
killed and 20 wounded, while over 30 of
the eros Nentres tribe fell one hundred
and fifty ponies were captured by the at
lacking rarity, as well as n large amount
of clothing and ammunition. IL is estimat-
ed 10y the department that at least $25C o.
worth of property belonging TO settlers
has been burned and otherwise destroyed,
while the loss of life cannot Toe accurately
calculated
Two detachments of mounted police
have been sent to put down the rising, but
it is thought the whole force Of 100 men
will be needed, as the Rockies and Canada
Sioux will join the revolt. Crowfoot, the
chief OF the rebellous tribe, i now on his
way there and cannot therefore be expected
20 use his Indians.
Mr. Caron, Canadian minister of MALTA,
called out 1000 infantry and cavalry to
go To the scene Of the trouble and assist
the mounted police. In the meantime, un-
Ill they reach there, hundreds Of lives may
be sacrificed and any amount of propertybe
destroyed. \ general rising of the Indians
on account of the gross acknowledgement
of their affairs by the officials, is feared.

GERONIMO MADE TERMS.
Gen. Miles Reports that the old Apache Sur
rendered Conditionally.

Gen. Miles annual report embodying
the story OF the surrender of Geronimo,
has been received by the acting secretary
of war. The report shows that Geronimo
and his companions were not captured,
but surrendered conditionally. He ac-
knowledges that he promised the hostiles
that they should not he turned over to the
civil authorities of Arizona, and that their
lives should be spared by removing them
from the country Immediately. This ac-
counts for Gen. Miles failure 10 obey the
instructions of the war department-to
coniine the hostiles TO the nearest post.
The Star SAYS: The fact that Gen.
Miles accepted the conditional surrender
when the positive instructions OF the gov
eminent were that nothing but capture
or an unconditional surrender should de
termine the Apache campaign, raises very
grave question for the consideration OF
the president and secretary OF war. What
the result will be can only he conjectured.
but unless there are some very extenuating
circumstances not apparent on the out
side, a reprimand is the least that can
be expected. The report shows that
the hostiles never before have been driven
10 such n stage of desperation, and that
they could not have stood out against
the troops much longer; but, nevertheless,
the war department would undoubtedly
have preferred the Indian war to last
another year, rather than hostles should
surrender upon their own terms. 1t is
said that Gen. Miles campaign did not
practically differ from that Of Gen. Crook,
and that the latter could have secured the
hostlcs upon similar conditions to those
accepted by Gen Miles last January, when
Geronimo expressed IA Willingness to sur
render but escaped when he found he
could secure no assurance OF safety from
Gen. Crook. Gen. Miles report is very
long and interesting He devotes a greater
portion OF il 70 an account of the pursuit
OF the Indians since he took command.
He shows how his campaign differs from
that OF Gen. Crooks The latter used
friendly Indians to fight the hosties, while
Gen. Miles pursued them, the United
States troops using only few Indians as
trailers.
