GEN. CROOK AND GERONIMO.
for the Surrender OF thu
Hostile Apaches.
AN IMAGINARY INTERVIEW BY TELEGRAP
WHICH NEVER CAME OFF.


WHICH NEVER CAME OFF.
1t is learned at the War department that the
Geographic reports sent out from the Indian
country some time ago, graphically describing
the meeting OF General Crook with Geronimo
on the Mexican border line, and representing
that Geronimo absolutely refused to surrender
Internationally and returned to the shelter of
the mountains gaily Haunting the flag of truce
until out of sight, were entirely imaginary.
General Crook has not yet met Geronimo and
has not left his station at Fort Bowie, Arizona,
since the fight Of Capt. Crawford's command
with the hostiles in Mexico in January, when
the Indians expressed willingness to meet
Gen. Crook on the border and gave hostages
to show their good intentions: After the fight
Lieut.. MauS, who succeeded to the command of
Capt. Crawford, proceeded with his troops to
San BernandinO, the point agreed upon on the
border. to await the arrival OF the Indians.
DISPATCH FROM GEN. CROOK.
Gen. Sheridan received a dispatch from Gen.
Crook last night stating that he had been in
formed that four of the principal renegade
chiefs had arrived at Lieut. Maus CAMP and
that the rest of the hostiles were on their way
he would start in a day or two. perhaps to-day,
for San Bernardino, TO receive the surrender OF
the hostiles.
Lieut.. Maus' camp is located about
several days perhaps before the result OF Gen.
Crooks meeting with the Indians is known
Ouclaay. LIE Ueiay VI tne uOSllleS III reaching
the border is accounted for at the War depart
ment by the difficulty in collecting the hostile
bucks who had been scattered through the
dams generally regarding dates. Although the
Indians agreed to reach the border about the
LIST of March, Gen. Crook knew that they would
consider their engagement kept If they were
within month OF the date agreed upon, and he
very sensibly postponed starting for San
Bernardino, the point agreed upon, until he was
positively informed Of their arrival. Accord
Ing to previous unofficial reports from Arizona
the hostiles had both surrendered and refused
to surrender. SO that but little credence may be
attached 70 any statements OF the result OF the
meeting with Geronimo, until official infOrma-
ton has been received from Gen. Crook.

AN IMPORTANT LAND MISUNDERSTANDING
Lamar has reversed the decision OF Land Com
missioner Sparks in the Brittin case wherein
it was held that settler could not. after per-
fecting pre-emptiOn right, be permitted to
commute a homestead entry into a cash entry
under section 23Ol, Revised Statutes, as this
would be equivalent to a second exercise of a
presumption right. The Secretary holds that
section six of the homestead act intends "to
secure To those who might avail themselves of
the benefit OF this act the then existing right of
entry under the pre-emptiOn laws, and the
second part was intended to secure to those
who had heretofore availcd themselves of the
pre-emption right the benefit of the home
stead law in addition thereto" The decision is
very important one and affects a large num-
Der OF cases.

WOMEN.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Ingalls, presented a
petition from Mrs. S. NJ. Harvey, president and
other ladies of the association for works of
ing that it was organized over two years ago
to reclaim fallen women and to lead them in
the paths of Christian lite: tina: a building was
purchased at "a cost of $15, 500, upon which an
instalment OF $500 was paid; that the house
has been sustained entirely by voluntary con-
tributions, without any aid from Congress;
that while the ormatory for boys is sup
ported at public expense, no provision is made
Tor unfortunate women; that this evil Is in
creasing and the association has not the
means TO aid all who call tor help. The senate

reasonable help from Congress for this 'noble
