G EN- ERAL MILES.
HIS STATEMENT OF THE APACHE
CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON, November 90 General Miles ar
rived in this city last night and is ct ppng at the
Ebbett house while here. His wife and children
preceded him Yesterday. In an interview the gem
eral said that the surrender of Geronimo was an
absolute one, and regarded in military law as
the same thing as capture
"There were only two ways he continued "to
deal with them, either to punish them as people,
or punish them as Indians. If they had been
given to the civil authorities they could not all
have been convicted and punished individually,
and the civil authorities could not pun
ish the followers for the crimes of
their leaders every year or two these
ApaChes produce a new crop of warriors, and if
Geronimo and one or two of his principal as
sociaes had been tried by the civil authorities, the
rest of the band would have been left at home IN
their old haunts, free to re.commence plumber and
bloodshed at the earliest opportunity. The hang
ing of one or two leaders would have had terror
for the r st. They would only have been aroused
to new afr cities by thirst for revenge. As it is
they heave been finally disposed Of They
have been crippled for life. As far as their power
for harms concerned there is no possibility of
their making any further outbreak, and life and
property in Arizona are no longer in danger,
These western territories have made greaT, prog
ress in recent years, even with all the hardshipS
and sufferings inflicted on them by the brutal
Apaches, and they have now a very bright pros
pect before them, especially in mining, There is
going to be a prosperous era for mining in all
Oregon.
Gen. Miles spoke in warm terms of the courtesy
shown him by Secretary Lamar and the governor
of bwa.
He said in conclusion:
"We pursued these Apaches over 1000 miles of
mountains, 800 miles into Old Mexico, one noun
tain after another, no level ground, no open
country, but constant climbing often leaping from
rock to rock. The Indians dropped baggage, aban-
dOned horses and mules, even left their arms be-
hind them. They moved in tortuOus dangerous
ways, but never for moment did my command
give up continuous pursuit. There are now no
nostiles or dangerous Apaches in New Mexieo or
Arizona

Postmaster General Villas said Mr.. Arthur s ad,
mlnstraton of the government had commended
him very strongly to the respect OF the people,
and especially considering the very trying Clrcum-

instance in which vi"e-prrsident had performed
the Duties of the office of president in the previous
history of the country, offers more commend

President Arthur very highly. Long before ne

"DlRTY WORK.
CRIMINAL CHICANERY OF A DIS
TRICT MASTER WORKMAN.

CHICAGO, November 20.-The following is pub
lished here this morning:
SIT was reported yesterday-and the report
seemed well fOunded-that secret committee will
be sent here early next week by General Master
Workman Powdery, 10 investigate the cause Of
the last strike at the stock yards The report also
went on to say that this action was taken at the
earnest request of many knights of Labor who
have been unable to learn why the men were
called out after having been ordered back by Com
mitteeman Barry. To the order generally,
the cause of the second strike has remained
as much mystery as to the general public, and
the belief is that it was political move on the
part of District Master Workman Butler. Garlic
ton, before his return to Philadelphia, is said to
have pronounced the strike as the "dirtiest piece
of business he had ever encountered. 1t has be-
come so evident that Butler and the crowd about
him made "a tremendous mistake, for which
thousands of families at the yards will suffer the
coming winter. The most strenuous efforts are to

il is said by those who ought to know that no one
