Geronimo Makes More Trouble.
DEFEATED BY MExICANs, HE sURRENDERs TO
LIEUT.. MAUS, U. s. A.--THE MEXICANs CLAIM
HIM AS THEIR PRISONER.
A report comes from Tombstone, Arizona
that Geronimo and his band have surrendered
to Lieut. Maus. According to the report, Friday
afternoon, about ten miles south of San Bernar
dino, the Apache camp was attacked by MeXi
cans, and a hot skirmish ensued, during which
two Apaches were killed and the forces OF &c
ronimo completely routed. Geronimo and his
band fled in the direction of Maus' camp fol
safety, and there made an unconditional sur
render. The Mexican troops followed them
across the line into Maus' camp, demanding
them as. prisoners and claiming that the fight
occurred on Mexican soil, and the victory was
theirs. Lieut.. Maus refused to give the prison
ers up, which probably incensed the Mexicans
who threatened to take the prisoners by force
Gen. Crook was hourly expected 10 arrive In
camp, but at last accounts had not yet come
Two diSpa tcheS from Lieut.. Maus have been re
celVed at Mud Spring applying tor assistance
The situation is critical in the extreme.
WHAT Is SAID AT THE WAR DEPARTMENT.
No information of the reported surrender o.
the Apaches has been received at the War de
i partment, and the story will not be believed
until a report is received from Gen. Crook. who
| must have arrived at Lieut.. Maus' camp, al
| San Bernardino by this time, to receive the
surrender of Geronimo and his followers.
1t is known that the Apaches were encamped
| several days ago on Mexican soil. about
% miles from san Bernardino, waiting FOL
! four bucks to come in from the mountains
| SO that they could surrender in a body upou
Gen. Crooks arrival. They may have been
| attacked there by the MeNicans and followed
by them across the border. The Mexicans
| could pursue them as hostiles across the Dor
der, according to treaty stipulations, but would
have no right to claim them IL they were in
| possession of United States troops. If the
Apaches did come into Lieut.. Maus' camp, Wal
department officials have no idea that thai
officer would give them up, or that the Next
cans would dare fire on his command. Ii the
report is correct, they regard il as settlement
OF all difficulties Tor the hosties will be i'll the
possession OF u. >. troops, without any compli
cations or conditions. In view OF the conflict
Arizona about the hostiies, this one is received
with plenty of salt.
