WHAT GERONIMO
 SAYS OF THE WAR.
Relieves the Indians Are Foois-Eduea ton of the Indian Waste of
 Money by the Government.

Omaha, Oct 1.-The Minnesota rn. dians will sec that they have made q great mistake in going on the warpath, says Geronimo, the famous Apache chief. who is one of the Indians now in camp at the Indian congress.
 q have never been in Minnesota, but hear that up thore and for hundreds of miles beyond the white mon are as many as the blades of grass. If that is so. what can few poor Indians do in aght2 They are making q great mistake and are fools For years I fought the white men, thinking that with my few braves could kill them all and that we would again have the land that our great Father gave IS, and which he covered with game. l thought that the Great Spirit would be with US and that after
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-10-11

we had killed the white men, the buffa. 10, deer and antelope would come back. After had fought and lost, and after travelled over the country in which the white man lives and saw his cities and the work that he had done, my heart was ready to burst I knew that the race of the Indian was run
 Asked what he thought would event ually become of the Indian, Geronimo hesitated moment, and then pointing to the west, replied;
 "The sun rises and shines for time and then it goes down, sinking out of sight and is lost. So 1t will be with the Indians
 "When was boy my old father told me that the Indians were as many as the leaves op the trees, and that way off in the north they had many horses and fnrs. I never saw them, but I know that if they were there then they have gone now, and the white man has taken all they had twill be only few years more until the Indians will be heard of no mere, except in the books that the white man has written. They are not the people that the Great Father loves, for if they were he would protect them. They have tried to please him, but they donot know how.
 'tSchools are good things for Indians, but it takes many years to change the nature of the Indian. If an Indian boy goes to school and learns to be like q white boy, he comes back to the agency and there is nothing for him to do but to put on a blanket and be like an Indian again. This is where the government is to blame When it takes our children away and educates them it should give them something to do, not turn them loose to run wild upon theagency. Un- til that time comes, educating the in- dian is throwing money away. What can an educated Indian do out in the sage brush and cactus?
 ssThere will be no more big Indian wars. The Indian fighting days are over and there is nothing left for him to do but 10 be beggar and live on charity around the agency.

As to the Selection of Camp Sites Only One Is Referred to In
 His Answer.
THREE POINTS ONLY
 COVERED IN HIS REPLY.
Tampa as Point of Embarkation, Hastening the Troops to San. tiago and Delay of
 Troops.

New York, Oct, ll.-A dispatch to The Herald from Washington says: Secretary Alger has sent notice to the war Investigating commission which in the words of one of the commission CTS, docs not anwer."
 In the first place" said this commits sioner, i've asked who had been infuen- tial in selecting the camp sites? The only answer vouchsafed Is that General Lee selected the camp at Jacksonville. do not think any other camp is men, toned. But this omission will, no doubt, be remedied in tho supplemental report for which we will call on Secre- tary Alger
 Secretary Alger' replies include about 5000 words, and in addition to the Jack sonville camp matter, covers only these points, The selection of Tampa as a point of embarkation; Rear Admiral Sampson's dispatch the cause of hasten ing troops to Santiago; Commodore Re. mey's dispatch the cause of the subse- quent delay of the troops, Discussion of these topics exhaust the report
 No attempt seems to have been made to explain the causes of tho hardships suffered by the soldiers in Tampa Tho matter is brushed aside with apparent contentment in the relation that Tampa was considered good location and the most convenient point of authorization.
 Secretary Alger will be asked for q fuller answer The programme of the commission for the week is to have no witnesses except those who may be caught passing through Washington. The time will be spent in reading tho voluminous report of the adjutant gen. eral, then tho report of Surgeon General Sternberg and then the report of other heads of departments.
 Members of the commission expect to leave for tour of the camps a week from Monday They may go first to Camp Meade before it breaks mp. They will go to Savannah, where Colonel Bryan will be one of the important wit pesses. The tour Of the camps will, It is thought, consume about two weeks. The commission will return to Wash ington, and later will go to New York City.
 In New York two prominent witness es will be called-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and R. B. Roosevelt The latter made grave charges against the administration of Commissary General Eagan and he will be asked to snbstan- tiate them,
 After the examination in New York the commission will return to Washing ton before going to Santiago. which it s thought will be among the last things done by the commission.

No Tribe Leaders at the Council, and Only Figureheads Were Sent
 by the Indians.
SEVERAL HUNDRED
 NOW WE'LL ARMED.
More Are on tue Road to Join Those Now on the Warpath-One More Council Will He Held Be.
 fore an Attack.

Walker, Minn., Oct 1.-The situa. tion is more ominous than ever. At the agency Sunday council was held be. tween the Indians, General Bacon, Col. Herbach, Indian Agent Sutherland and Marshal O'Connor. The result of the conference was not in any way unlike that of those previously held, except in the fact that not one of the leading men of the different bands were present.
 There were, however, representatives present from Bear island, Otter Tail Point, Cass Lake and Pine Point, but none of these have any influence with the tribesmen. The only conclusion to be drawn is that the leaders of the diff ferent bands sent men there merely as ''stool pigeons" and that others of their number are preparing for the warpath.
 A most significant fact is that on Sat- urday 30 canoe loads of Bear island In. dians and their families, protesting to be peaceful, arrived nt the agency Sun. day every one of the bucks in the party left, but where they have gone is only to be surmised. There is little doubt however. that they have left for Bear island to join those who are already pre- pared to fight. There must be several hundred armed men on the island and from what can be learned many more are on the road.
 Two or three of the Bear island men who are still at the agency, have been questioned ID regard to last Wednes- day's battle. But they positively stated that they know nothing whatever in re- gard to to tho dead and wounded among the Indians and had seen none of those who were in the fight.
 General Bacon announces that the last council will be held today and the Indians will be dispersed.
 Flat Mouth and his band of 40 Chip pewa Indians may be on the warpatb before another day. At the council he delivered message asking that the troops be taken away. from the agency. and informing the authorities that in the event of a refusal to do so he will join the hostile Pillager Indians.

ELEPHANT CURIOSITY.
An Animal Which Stands With Its Feet
 Imbedded In Rocks.

An Animal Which Stands With Its Feet
 Embedded In Rocks
 On the Miles Wilbur farm, less than two miles from Palmyra, Wis, nearly midway between Bald bluff and tho Curelian spring on wild, rocky hill- side of~the Kettle range of bluffs, may be found a huge rock known far and near as the stone elephant. '
 It is annually visited by large mum. bers of people, some of whom pronounce it petrified elephant of monster size, but the theory most generally believed Is that 1t was hewed out of the solid rock in which 1t seemed imbedded can- turies ago by some prehistoric race.
 Asif to substantiate this latter theory, from time to time many valuable tools, relics and implements unknown to tho people of this age have been found about its base and in that immediate vicinity. It is about 90 feet long, 6 or feet high, of dark gray color and weighs hum dreds of tons. The body only Is above the level of the ground, it's legs being deeply sunk below:t holding 1t firmly in a standing position.
 A tradition believed by many is thab around this huge stone the Indians gathered to offer sacrifice to the aroat Spirit and burn their prisoners at tho stake or make them the viotims of slow torture known only to the Indiana 70 Is long established and generally be- lieved theory that in this immediate va' cinity and about Bald bluff and the DIS spring were soma gf their most famous battlefields and hunting grounda -6os ton Transcript.
