aERoNIMo's GANG WILL NOT BE HANGKD.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The annual re-
port OF Gen. Miles is still In the hands OF
The president. 1t has been the subject of
brief conference to-day between him
self and Secretary Endicott, but IL is
understood no line of action has been
yet decided upon in regard TO that por-
ton relating to the surrender OF Ge-
ronimo. While the text Of the report Is
not yet accessible for publication, it is
known that In respect OF that matter
Gen. Miles does not explain him
self to the satisfaction OF the authorities
and his granting OF conditions which are
now understood to be even more liberal
than has heretofore been supposed, Is the
subject OF embarrassment and perplexity.
Without saying SO In emphatic terms, II
Is gathered from Gen. Miles' roundaboIs
expressions on the subject that an agree
ment was made that the lives OF the
prisoners should be spared and that they
should be removed at once from Arizona.
In this respect Gen. Mics has,
it is said, gone contrary to the
well-understood wishes Of his su.
periors, which action amounts prsc-
tically to dlsobedience Of orders.
The only, reason suggested for this course
in the absence OF any satisfactory state
ment on the point from Gen. Miles, is the
fear thati he did not secure the prison.
ers in this way they would make terms
with and surrender themselves to the
Mexicaus. This would have rendered
the termination of the campaign appar-
emily less creditable to the United States.
In this state of affairs there seems moth
ing which the authorities can do for the
punishment OF the prisoners except TO
keep them permanently as prisoners OF
war. Rgen should the civil authorities
oil Arizona demand them for trial with
the most positive proof OF murder ready
for presentation, the hands OF the admin
istratlon would be ted.

MANNING To kfMAiN shShElAhis
WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-The Star to-
night says; At the treasury department
there seems to be no importance attached
to the rhe report thst the president has
offered TIE secretaryship of tho treasury
TO Senator Mcpherson. II may be
stated with certainty that Score
tary Manning is going back 10
the treasury. He has decided to remain
at the head OF the department so long as
his health will permit him TO do SO, even
to the end OF Mr.. Cleveland's term.
When the members of Mr.. Cleveland's !
cabinet accepted their appointments II
was with the understanding that they |
"enlisted for the war; that they would |
remain In the cabinet TO the end OF the |
term. A Democratic administration was
an experiment, and many serious On
stacles had TO be overcome, and stability |
was necessary. II was important |
that there should be no break
ing up Of the cabinet. They |
had to work together, come what might,
to carry into eject Democratic measures,
and make the administration a success.
OF conree, such calamity as the ILL
ness Of Mr.. Manning was not taken
into consideration. When he was In |
such critical condition that IL was uncer-
tain whether or not he would recover, he
was obliged TO leave. II seemed as II
his retirement could not be avoided, con-
sequently his resignation was sent in
Now he Is apparently recovered in
health He is willing and DESTROYS 70
"stand by the ship" and see the admins
tration through II his physical condi-
tion will admit OF ii he would put himself |
TO great personal Inconvenience 10 do this.
His absence would be serious loss
to the cabinet and Mr.. Cleveland would
feel II keeply. OF course, rs friend,
President Cleveland would not urge upon |
him 70 remain II II involved injury ~
his health, but he will do all
he can 70 retain his services
without taxing his strength Il may be
said with certainty that Mr. Manning will 1
make the trial Those who are in posi-
tlon ~ be best informed on the situation,
do not think Senator Mcpherson ,
