ton with Gen. Booths visit to Toronto,

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 sur
rendered cOudltlOnally, and Gen. Miles aC-
knOWledges that he promised the hOstiLes
that they should not be turned over to the
civil authorities. of Arizona, and that their
lives should be spared by removing them
from the country Immediately. This &c
counts for General Miles failure to obey the
instructions of the war department
to cOnhne the hostiles at the near
est post. 1t is said that Gen
eral Miles campaign did not practi-
cally differ from that Of General Cook,
and that the latter could have
secured the hOztiles on similar conditions to
those accepted by General Miles last January
when Geronimo expressed Willingness to
surrender, but escaped when he found that
he could secure no asstance Of safety from
General Cook. GengFal Miles report is very
long and interesting. He devoted the
greater portion to an account Of the pursuit
OF the Indians since he took command. He
shows how his campaign differs from that of
General Cook The lei tier used friendly In
dians to fight the hostiles, while the former
pursued them with United States troops
using only few Indians as trailers.

Col. i. ID. Grant which was pronounced
proper by DR.. Douglas. Col. Grant simply
refused 70 pay. There is no admin
istrator of the Grant estate to whom it
could be presented, and Holmes q Co. did
