 Gen. Niles of very easy. The interview
 he had with Acting Secretary Ot War
 Drum, on hIs return from his vacation,
 touching this question is explained.
 Gen. Drum had sent telegrsphic or
 der to Gen. Miles to st once forward tn
 the department a de ailed report of the capture of the Apache chief and his
 band, but IL was evidently the inten-
 ton of Miles to incorporate tue result of the campaign in his annual report which
 he was about to make out ID compE- ance with army rsGlations, and he pRid no attention to the order for a s2ecisl report of the capture of Geronimo. When this was stated tO the president he was very much dispieased and tt ouce dictated telegram to Gen. Miles that compelled that officer to seDd an abstrac, of his annual report, She said abstract. relating to the Apache cam palgn. lt however did not get here any sooner than did the annual report. f which it was part. and 1t was not as satisfactory as to de,sIls ss It was hoped It would be. | IS the intention to order A court of inquiry into the conduct O. General Miles. especially now that bis statements as to the surrender have been disputed by Car,ain Lswton.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 1t IS stated off c ca.iy at the war department that nOth- IDS bas been determined upon in regard Co the surrender Cf Geronimo, and that the department IS still lacking lniOrma- ton on which to base any action. Gen --sl Miles want of frAnkness in avOw- InC tha. be had granted liberal terms to the captives IS severely critIzed. It IS now undrr-oOd that the instructions given r. General Crook not tO accept the surrender of the Apaches unless they came ID without conditions, were trans mitted 10 General Miles for bis infOrma- ton and guIdaLce. These instructions were inspired by the desire of the prtsi- dent to undertake new policy of deRlIng with the renegade Indian marauders. which policy contemplated their trIsl by civil courts and that promp: punish ment fer the crimes they had committed. A requisitiOn, It is understood, has al- ready been made by the governor of Ari- zona upon the governor of Texas ior the surrender of Geronimo for trial, but uu- der the terms of surrender. the presi- dent cannot permit the chief to be sur- rendered Co either gOyeTaOr. General Miles has defenders among the suthOri- ties as welt Gs critics, and 1t Is urged in justification of his course that it is bet Ger to have possession of the Indians even if the opportunity Ofmsking an ex- ample of them deters others from follow iag m their footsteps be lost. than to permit them Co go on indefinitely m their course of murder and destruction There IS a conflict of opinion and state ment m respect to the condition of the | Apaches when they came in. IL has | been said they were reduced to the low. | est point of fatigue and privatlon, and | their surrender was the result This ID | the abSeuce of official information is not | everywhere credited. Officers who know the Apaches well assert that kind of life | they have been leading latterly Is their | normal state, thnt theIr women accom- vanied them every where, and that chil dren were born and thrived while the ! troops were m hot pursuit, ID short, that | the savages We're ss we'll prepared when | they surrendered for conducting their | raids as they were year ago.
