Warm Spring Indians, en- route from the San

Is we'll known there "that their removal, when
accomplished. will all be the work of Gen.
Miles, who has been arranging the matter for
nve months, against much opposition.
Gen. Drum stated to a STAR reporter to-day
armed, the President always considered them
as prisoners OF war, and as such they were
turneo over to Gen. Crook. The best proof OF
tnelr being prisoners of war, Gen. Drum salo,
Was the fact that otherwise they could not have
D zen held under military control. The War de-
and they would OF necessity been under the
Charge of the Indian department. The detailed
report OF the capture OF Geronimo and the other
renegades has not yet been received 1T the W ar

THE NEEDS OF CHARLESTON.
Views of Assistant Secretary ThOmpsOu

Assistant Secretary Thompson. Of the Treas
ury, VINO was IN Charleston last week, said in
conversation with STAR reporter: "The ex-
tent OF material injury to the city has not been
exaggerated, and there must inevitably be
great suffering among the poorer classes unless
the outside aid, which has been SO promptly
and generously extended, shall be kept up for
time The terrible shock to nervous systems
produced by the earthquake, and the severe
strain upon the people for the days and nights
of anxiety which followed, together with ex-
posure to the weather, will, fear, produce
serious sickness 1t is but simple justice to say
that the courage and fortitude exhibited by the
people OF Charleston are worthy Of the highest
admiration spent last Tuesday in Charles

WIN courage equal to their calamity they

tne secretary, There are two ways OF extend.

Charleston to develop the great natural trade
