struCtions that Geronimo, Nstchez, and
the other hostiles that surrendered with

Imprisoned there until a determination is

1t 10 officially known that the surrender
was not made without conditions, but
what the conditions were, beyond the
agreement that they should not be sur
rendered for trial In Arizona, has not yet
been reported. It was in compliance with
this condition that Gen. Miles started
with the hostiles for Florida.
The determination Of q course OF pro-

President, but until the terms OF the sur.
