GERONIM0se SURRENDER.
Gen. Miles, Report 70 the War Depart.
ment-The Conditions Of the Sur.
reader.

The annual report Of Gen. Miles, giving de-
Jailed account of the Apache campaign and the
surrender of the hostiles, has been received NJ
the War department., and 1t was to-day sub
mitted by Gen. Drum 70 the President for his
consideration. Its full contents will not be
made public until after its consideration by
the President and the Secretary of War. Gen.
Miles did not make q special report regarding
the capture OF the Apaches, as was expected,
but embodied an account Of the campaign aud
Its termination in his annual report
The report shows that Geronimo and his
companions were not captured, but surrendred
condttlonaliy. 1t was presumed that such was
the case from the undue haste to remove them
from Arizona after they had given themselves
into the hands of the military, aud Gen. Miles
ofncial report was awaited with interest. he
acknowiidges In his report that he promised
the hosties that they should not be turned over
70 the civil authorities OF Arizona aud that
from the country immediately. Tnis accounts
Tor 10 % Gen. Miles, failure TO obey the In
CO. the OF the War
Instead Of doing SO lac started them ON the way
To Florida, Informing the department that
This was done, and they are slill detained there.
AS stated, the iuil particulars are not known,
and there may have been circumstances con-
nected with the matter which will vindicate
General Miles course The fact, however, that
General Mics accepted a conditional surrender
When the positive instructions or the govern
conditional surrender should terminate the
Apache campaign, raises u very grave question
1or the consideration OF the President aud Sec
retary of War. " hat the result viii be can
only be cOnjectured, but unless there are some
very eXtenuatlng circumstances not apparent
on the outside, u reprimand is the least that
can be expected. The report shows that the
uosiiles never before have been driven W such
stage OF desperation, and that they could not
nave st1Od OUT against tue troops nucn longer,
but, nevertheless, the War department would
undoubtedly nave preferred the Indian war "
last another year, rather than that the hUsJiles
snouid surrender upon their own terms. IL Is
said that Gen. Miles campaign did not prac-
tically differ from that o. Gen. Crook, aud that
the latter could nave secured the uOsLiles upon
similar conditions To tnOse accepted
by Gen. Miles, last January, when Geronimo
expressed Willingness 10 surrender, but
escaped when he lOunu that he could secure
no assurances of safety from Gen. Crook. Gen.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINING BOARD IN TIL


A CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINING BOARD IN THIS
CITY To DO ALL THE WORK.
Civil Service Commissioner Oberly says that
the proposed change in relation to the examin-
ing board Is intended entirely to guard against
any possible favoritism In marking examina.
tion papers. 1t is to correct serious defect In
the old practice of leaving the examination and
marking OF examination papers to the local ex.
Smining boards. 1t is impossible to get an
..amining board in any of the various townsa d
small cities where examinations are held that
will not be personally acquainted with
or at least know something about nearly every
applicant who comes before them for examine
tiOn. It Is very easy for them TO regulate their
marking TO suit their preferences. Moreover
different local boards mark differently. SO that
q man who would pass with q high percentage
before one board would tail before another.
What the new rule proposes is, In place OF the
departmental board of fourteen here, TO have
board OF seven, whose duty II will be 70 mark
all the papers tor the whole country without
knowing the names Of any Of the applicants.
This Will secure uniform grading and perfect
fairness. The proposed rule concerning exAini.
