GEN. MILES REPORT.
The Story of the Surrender
of Geronimo.
Western Knights of Labor on
Strikes and Boycotts.
Another Attempt to Blow Up
. thu Gu of Russia.
Gen. Miles Report.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O-Gen. Miles
annual report, e~rnbodying the story OF the
surrender vi Geronimo, has been received
by the acting secretary OF war. Gen.
Miles, it Is sald, rel Orts that he accepted
the surrender of the savage chleitai.,
agreeing, as auunY conditions, that lie
should not be surren cred to the VII au
thvrities uf Arizona for trial. aud that he
sluul be taken away from that vicinity.
Gen. Niles report shows hat Gcrunlno
aud his companions VT not captured, but
surrendered cou'li,ivtally. He ackuOwl
edges that he PROMISED the HUSTLE that
they should not be turned over to the clv,l
authorities Of Ar zpns, and that their
lives should be spared 10y reiuUving then
from the country Immediately This ac
cunts for Gen. Miles failure to obey
the Instructions of the war department to
c%oufine the hostiles at the Learest pust.
The STIR SAYS The fact that Gen.
NIik accepted conditional surrender.
when positive Instructions Of the cover
ment were that nothing but capture or un
conditional surrender should determine
the Apache campaign, Raises d very grave
question for the consideration OF the pres
Ident and the secieiarr Uf war. hat
the result will be can only be col .ctured,
but unless there are SOM very e%xtenuat-
ing circumstances not apparent nn the out
side, a reprimand is the least that can BIZ
expected.
Thereport shows that the hostiles never
before have been driven to such a stage of
desperation. and that they could not have
stood out against the tioops much longer.
But, nevertheless. the war department
would undoubtedly have preferred the
Indian war to last another year rather
than that the hostiles should surrender
