VAN WVOK'S enemies admit that ho hud a walk-away before the JJcat- rico convention bomb shell exploded , in the'camp of his friends. IK no campaign in tlio history of the state have so many candidates been placed in nomination pledged to the sup port of a single senatorial candidate. Tnc Douglas county republican Jciris- flutivo and comity ticket will bo hard to innntoh. It is composed of the names of flioncst men , sound republicans ana good I COUNTY couvonttons are nearly over and the results oan bo fairly well esti mated. There seems to bo no reason for jubilation in the camp of the allied monopolies. Cor.uv and Church Howe make a nice team. When they were both in the son- tito you could not toll tlio one from the other , except Unit Church parts his hnir iu the middle. Mit. McSiu&u is out of town , but the political duet ot Miller and. Hoyd arc supporting him just as hard an if ho wore in the city. They want no assistance from Sir. McSliniio in the work of trying to oluot Church Howe , " \Vcni \ political pirates working hard to mock the democratic party , nnd the rail roads united to overthrow all candidates of both parties who will not do their bid ulng , thci atmosphere of the campaign is already beginning to smell of smoke and sulphur. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Till" contract which Dr. Miller hag taken to duftmt Van U'yolc and elect Church llowo is likely to gut him into more notoriety than the attempt tu buy Croiiln in Oregon. Jay ( Jould , of course , stands behind him , as ho did ten years ago when the doutor tried to deliver over the democracy to Jay ( Jould's preferred cuudidatu fur Unltml States senator , TUB cronicun who do not bolioyo that Church JIowo can bu defeated without wrecking the county and legislative tickets may bu disappointed before they lira llvo weeks older. Thousands of voters in Omaha will decline to support UioNi'iuaha cornipUouUt , who will work nnd vote for this excellent ticket which the republican * of this county hayu placed in nomination.

Lincoln Journal. ThiM is a striking specimen of railroad republlcarilsni. It shows the shallow pretense and arrogant hypocrisy of tlio great exponent of straluht republican ism in Lancaster county. It atlbrds proof positive that republican principles and republican success are , with that paper , secondary lo the interests nnd policy of the railroads. If the candidate1 ! named wnro all repub lican nomincps this compliment by the Journal would have no signiliennco beyond the fact thai tholr candidacy wai regarded with much favor by the rail" roads. Hut Mr. Lanham , of Saline , U not In any sense n republican candidate. The republicans of Sulino county held si convention two weeks ago which nom inated a ticket without piotcsl or shadow of Irregularity. Mr. Lanhnra was a delegate In that , convention , and Is in honor bound to support its choice for senator , Mr. DuriiH. It Is a matter of fact that Lnnham urged Duos to become n candidatc.and only al the eleventh hour , at the beck of Iho J . vV : M. railroad bosses who own hint , sought to have himself nominated by the convention in place of Duras. Hut a largo majority of Ihc con vention cast its vote for Duras , and ho wat unanimously declared the choice of the convonlion. Dura.s himself has al ways boon a straight republican of the btralghtcst scot , He &urvud two terms as republican treasurer of Saline county , and until recently was otio of Mr. Uawes' warm supporters. Hut he does not wear the bra s collar and his preference for Unitwl StatoH senator is not the choice of the railroads , hast week Lanhatn an nounced himself as an independent candidate for the senate and every railroad organ with the repub lican brand in Saline county bolted Mr. Duras , the roirular candidate , and came out with a hurrah in Laiiham's support. On Saturday last , Tobo Castor's gang of railroad democrats held a so- Called donloo'r'atic conVeniion and de cided not to nominalo a democratic can didate for the senate but to recommend Lanham to thu support of the party. Naturally enough , the republican rail road organ at Lincoln joins In with Tobo Castor and the democratic railroad gang in Saline county to support a U. & M. rail road contractor for a scat in the senate. A more shamoluss exhibition of railroad politics was never seen in tlio state. Who got Mr. Lanham to become an indepen dent bolting candidate ! Ihc H. & M. railroad bosses at Lincoln. Who put up the job on the democrats of Sallnei county to endorse this republican bolter ? Tobc Castor , the 15. & M. railroad right of way man , and Captain Phillips loft bower. Who supports Lanham against the regular republican candidate ? The brass collar editors of Saline county and thu Hurlington railroad mouthpiece , the Journal at Lincoln. Tlio True Story. While the war department is urgently calling upon General Miles for a detailed of the of Geronimo's report story cap ture , and General Howard at San Fran cisco is angrily complaining that no reports - ports have passed through his hands as ollicial red tape demands , the HUE pre sents for the first time to the public the true story of Miles' ' Apache campaign. It is interesting reading , To those who have followed the newspaper accounts of Ihn operations in Arizona since ttuneral Miles assumed command , the letter of our correspondent will bo a stunninK revelation. It proves conclusively the wisdom of the best Indian lighter on American soil when lie assorted that policy would win greater results than arms in briuging in the hostllc.i , now that their tribe had been broken up ; and that the close of the campaign would be caused by Goroniuio's surrender rather than by any capture of the hostlles. Our correspondent tells a story ob tained from lirst sources and on the ground with minute details which attest its truth. The unconditional sur render of the hostilca turns out to bo u surrender on their own terms after they had been sought out and boargcd to lay down their arms. The valorous ac- cliicvonients of Captain Lawtou's much vaunted command fade into vapor when tested by the results accomplished , nnd the end Is discovered to have boon brought about by u return to Crook's simple methods of Indlau auxiliaries nnd diplomacy in traaliuc with the savages. Simmered down , Guronlmo has been waiting to aurrnndor ever since George Crook sent his family and friends to Florida after the gallant Crawford had "broken thu back of thu outbreak" in the mountains of Sonora. All of Milca' racket and red light campaigning was a waste of time and money , which was llnally thrown aside as useless and re- jijace.d by tactics whloh George Crook first introduced into Indian warfare. llcvlvuloCnu Old Diistro , Washington advices report another subject of diplomatic controversy , grow ing out of the violation by Cuba of cer tain provisions of the commercial treaty between the Unltud States and Spain , entered into hovoral years ago , regulating the trade relations between this country and the Spanish possession , A great duul of time wn feiiont In arranging this con vention , which It will be roininnlHTod eeomcd for a long time likely to fail , owing ohiufly to curtain demands or con ditions iiiblMcd upon by Spain , which the United States government would not con cede , Tlio negotiations were finally brought to a conclusion by a compromise of dili'orcnces , in which It Will thought at tup time this government yielded more- than It should have done , and perhaps more than it would have done but for the clamor of certain mercantile interests that professed to be sull'ering severely from Iho ubsunco of oomo dollnite com mercial agreement between the two C-outtrcu. ) | Tlicro had bcun abuses under ( ho former treaiy , owing lo iu having been somewhat loosely drawn , MM while the advantages were .largely on the side of Cuba , it was repeatedly vio- luted until the disregard of its pro visions giew to bu intolerable , The pres ent treaty was tntondiul to do away \ \ ith tlm abuses , and to reduce thu chances of violation to the minimum. It appears , however , that few and sliclu as llu-wi chances may bts , they have been take-i advantage of to the extent of threatening a diplomatic controversy between the goNommeuls of the United Slates mid Spain. Nothing scorns to be. more natural than that such an Issue should suggest the idea of this government standing a protectorate over the Island of Cuba. A very considerable number of the Ameri can jco ) Ic , particularly In the east and south , seem lo be thoroughly imbued with the conviction that this country ought to in sonip way possess or control Iho fair and fertile Island of the Antilles , which , for nearly four centuries has been , with a few short Intervals , the most important of all the colonial posses sions of Spain. Thirty or more years years ago scliumcs were planned and ex peditions organized In this country hav ing for their object the conquest of the Island , nnd within a year tltoro was a sensational report of the sailing from Xew York of an expedition under the direction of Cuban patriots , intended to co-operate with an insurrection ary foico In Cuba , The insurrec tion of ISO ! ) , which la. tcd six or snvon years , was icg.mledby Spain , and t'oubllcs-i ' not altogether unjustly , as owing Its long continuance , if not its origin , to American inllttenco unit aid. For quite half a century the desire to get possession of Cuba , which was shown In the proposition of President Polk to pay $100,000,000 , for tlm Island , and at a later date In the Ostoml manifesto , whlt'h claimed for the United Slates the right lo take and annex the island if Spain refused to sell it , has at intervals been manifested. Of Into years , how ever , its expression has not assumed n very serious form , and the report of its recurrence at this time need not cause nny nnnoynnue lo tlio Spanish govern- tnnnt , Nothing could bo more improb able than any serious ofl'ort on the part of the American people tit present to deprive Spain oi her richest possession , nnd if there arc in fact any organiza tions of consequence in Cuba the object of which is to scutiru release from Span ish domination and annexation to Iho United States , they can have out small hope of any aid from the people of this country in thu near future. The sentiment that now controls in the United States is not favorable to any onlni' meiit1 of territorial posses sions. Hut the propinquity of this rich island must still bo regarded as a strong temptation to national cupidity , and Iho time may come when a less conservative feeling than now prevails , stimulated by interests more urgent and powerful than those now existing , will as&ert itself in a formidable effort to gain possession of the coveted prize. In order to prolong this time Spain will find that course the wisest which comprehends a fair and liberal commercial policy and a strict conformity to treaty obligations. Thu Business Situation. Tlic clearings table evidences the eon- tinned improvement in the business sit uation throughout the country. Omaha , as usual , heads the lust in the uer cent of increase , making a most favorable show ing for the tributary banking and busi ness territory and for the jobbing and retail interests of the city itself. The jobbing trade of the principal cities in all sections of the country is active , and the distribution at most points is larger in volume than it was at the corresponding period for several years past. Nearly all the local markets show satisfactory activity except for Hour and grain , which continue comparatively dull. The slug gish condition of trade has caused a slight decline in prain prices , and there has boon a partial reaction from the pre vious sharp advance in the markets for codec and hog products. On the other hand , an improving tendency is noted in tlio nrices of coal , iron , lumber , wool , cotton , and some lines of textile manu factures , and iu all of these branches of business there is an increased demand , with the promise of sustained lirmness nnd activity for some time to come. Receipts of wheat at primary points have fallen off , but exports have contin ued light , nnd there lias been a further increase of over 2,600,000 bushels in the visible supply. The latter now aggre gates.17 , WO.CCO bushels , against 43,8)0,201 : ) bushels a year ago , and the supply of wheat and Hour on passage to the United Kingdom and continent is 8,000,000 , bush els larger than it was at this time last year. The steady Growth of stocks in sight and the increasing offerings of homo-grown wheat in the markets of Kurope have prevented any urgency in the export demand and the dullness has discouraged speculation for higher prices. Another clement of weakness has biicn the increasing scarcity of ocean freight room and the advance in carrying rates , iluo in part to the diversion of ves sels from the grain to the cotton ports. 1'rices are i to 1 cent per bushel lower in nil markets. Seeding in winter wheat sections is progressing favorably , The com crop has passed the point of danger from frost , and the markets have ruled weak under increasing supplies and a .sluggish condition of trade ; closing lig- ures yesterday showed a general decline of f to 1 cent per bushel. The price of pork in Chicago has receded from if 10.10 u week ago to ? i,4I5 ) at the close of busi ness yesterday , making a total of $3.05 per barrel from the highest figures re corded during the recent speculative Hurry. There is a fair homo trndo in meats , but exports have decreased a little , owing , doubtless , to thu excited condition of thu market. PoiiiooruUo Hopes , The New York Times , which If got af- fueling to bo an oracle of the president s policy , has generally been quite accurate In fori'imting his course , said in a recent Issue that democrats who are oxpooting radical change * In Iho policy of Mr. Cleveland Intiuvpral iinportantdlrcolioiid nru curtain to bo disappointed , It assures those expectants , who constitute n mi- merouH element of the party , that the president experienced no change of views during his vacation regarding tlio course ho luul pursued , nnd that ho would continue to etoadlly and firmly ud hero to it. The hoped for "clean sweep" will not bo mudo , though of courijo republicans will giro place to dem ocrats ns opportunity to do so shall bo presented ; thu declared policy of the ad ministration regarding sliver will not bo changed- , there will be wo recession by the president from the stand ho has taken respecting civil service reform ; nnd the foreign policy of the administration will not bu infused with a spirit of belliger ency , but will continue in the even and placid tenor which has thus far character ized it. Perhaps the Tunes only assumed all this , but iu view of its past success as an oraule something must be conceded to its present forecast. It will carry widespread disappointment to tue dem ocracy , for the party organs of high and low degree , so represents the Times , have been for the past month promising lhal the rolurn of the president to Washing ton would mark the beginning of a changed condition of affairs more in har mony with the traditions and present desires of the democracy , and better cal culated to promote the unity and welfare of the parts' . The Hues to be pursued were , of course , those which the Times snys Iho president will not follow. The democrats who conlldu in the party organs were led to believe that there would bo a general and generous redis tribution of the spoils , that the civil ser vice reform barrier would bo so reduced as to bo surmounted with comparative ease , that the hostility of the administra tion to the majority of the party on the silver question would bo abandoned , and that in our foreign relations wo would give England , Mexico nnd the rest of the world lo understand don't that wo pro pose to stand any nonsense and are prepared - pared to back our opinions to nny ex tremity. And if Mr. Cleveland really docs not intend to do any of those things , what is to he the ofloet upon'tho democrats who have been led to expect that lie would do them ? Will they be satlslled with repro bating the organs for misleading them mid continue to hurrah for the administration ? Or will the dioanpoint- ment so aggravate their displeasure al ready manifested in the rejection by their constituents of a number of congressman who had been staunch supporters of the udmir.lslration , that they will strike a blow at the president wherever they can do so ? In a word , will thusu expectant democrats , if their hopes shall be blasted as the Times assures them they will bo , continue to meekly wear the Cleveland voko and see tlio president follow the inuirwutnp direction , or will they throw oiltho yoke and range themselves i ndcr the banner of a leader whoso ideas ot true democratic methods are more nearly in consonance with their own than are the president's ? The answer to these questions cannot bu made at once , They Vnny bo to some C\ent { indicated in the results of ( ho fall campaign , but tlio real test will come a year hence in the elec tions preceding thu presidential contest. In the interim it is more than probable , notwithstanding mugwump opinion to the contrary , that the president will con- clduo that it is expedient to pay more at tention than he lias thus far done to the wishes of a majority of his party , or at least of that very largo element with which he cannot dispense without mil ting in jeopardy his chances for a renoin- inatiou. THKUI : is no danger that the school board will bo left out in the cold in tlio citv hall building. Jn the first place they have a contract with the city by which one-eighth of the property , including the ground , becomes theirs in fee. This con tract is a matter of record in the county clerk's ollico. In the next place , the plans which wore submitted to and approved..by. the board be fore thu council adopted them show on their face that the wiolo ) third story is designed and will bp ( constructed ex pressly for the accoauodation of tlio board. There plans now in .tlm vaults of-the court house have been votctd.on a id approved by the people , and will have Lo bo carried out. It is not likely that Omaha will re fuse to finish the city hall after the base ment is completed , and it is decidedly improbable thnt the legislature would re fuse Omaha the privilege of erecting a public building with her own credit. Tlio advance which the board has made is iu fact simply returning to the city the money which the council has caused to bu collected by a special school levy. It does not in any way all'ect the school fund or cripple tlio board in its educa tional work. Tin : llcpubliciui is very much exorcised over tlio refusal of this paper to support a common swindler , bribe taker nnd blackmailer for congress. But why does the llcpullicnn , which prides itself on being "straight , " bolt the republican leg islative and county ticket ? Was tlmro anything irregular In that convention ? Does not every candidate hold a clear title to tliu nomination , lie lias received at the hands of a republican convention at which not a single seat was contested ? What excuse is there for refusing support to men whose integrity nobody dares as sail and whoso fitness nobody questions ? Is not thu refusal to support this ticket of the same piece with the bolt of the re publican candidate for mayor eighteen months ago ?

The republicans of the First district should ask themselves whether a man having sueh a record as that of Church llowo has any rightful claim upon the support of any decent republican. Leav ing out of question Ms corrupt methods and notorious venality we appeal to re publicans to paiiH1 and rellect before they put a premium upon party trea son nnd conspiracy agaln t its very exist ence. Ten years ago , when the republican party was on the verge of disaster , nnd every electoral vote cast for Hayes and Wheeler wa needed to retain the party in power , Church Howe entered Into a conspiracy to deliver republican Nebraska Into the hands of the enemy. This Infamous plot is not a mere conjee * ture. The proof of It does not rest on surmise or su picion. It is not to bo pooh-poohed or brushed nway by pro nouncing it one of Kosowater's malicious campaign slanders. The records of Iho legislature of which Church Howe was > a member in 'TO-77 , contain the Indelible proofs of the treasonable enable conspiracy , and no denial can stand against evidence furnished by bis own pen. Briefly told , the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tildcn nnd democracy Is as follows : In 1870 Nebraska elected Silas A. Strickland , Amasa Cobb and A. II. Connor presidential electors by a vote of Ul,010 as against a vote of 10H5l cast for the Tilden and Hondrlcks electors. After the election it was discovered that the canvass of this vote could not take place under the then existing law before the legislature convened. The electoral vote had to bo canvassed in December nt the latest , and the regular ses sion of the legislature did not boirln until January. In order to make a legal canvass of the electoral returns , Governor Garber called a special session of the legislature to convene on thofith of December , ' 7j ( , t Lincoln , for the pur pose of canvassing the electoral vote of the state. The democratic effort to cap ture ; republican olc.otami votes jg hist vie. Tildon's friends , notably Dr. Miller , had been plotting for the capture of one of the electors from Nebraska , and it is also historic that a large bribe was offered to one of the electors , General Strickland. The call of the legislature broke into Iho plan of the plotters , anil they found a will ing and reckless tool in Church llowo. When the legislature convened at the cnpi- tal.Cluireh Howe tiled a protest which maybe bo found on iwgos 0 , 7 and 8 of the Ne braska House Journal of 1877. The fol lowing extract makes interesting reading : " 1 , Church Howe , a member of tlio legisla- tiuoof Nebraska , now convened by procla mation of his excellency , Governor Silas Garfoer , for the puipoM ) of canvassing and declaiini ? the result of the vote c.ist in Ne braska for electors lor president and vice president of the United States , heieby enter my solemn protest ng.xlnst such act , denying that the governor has power to call this body in special session for any f-iu-h purpose , or that this body has any authority to canvasser or dcclaio the result ol such vole upon the following grounds : First. This legislature now convened hav ing been elected under what Is known as the old constitution , has no power to net In the premises , the new constitution of the state ImvliiK boon in foico since November , 1875. " The second and third clauses dhal with technical objections and are somewhat lengthy. The concluding bcatonccs of this precious document are ns follows : "For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the electoral vote of the state by this body , and demand that this , my protest , be entered upon the journal. " ( Signed ) Church Howe , member of the legislature of Nebraska. The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely a quorum in the senate , while there were several to spare in the house of which Howe was a merubor. The protest en tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the Tildon lawyers In Omaha and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Sam Tildon. The legisla ture ignored Church Howe , spread his protest on its record and canvassed the electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature convened in Jan- tmry , 1877 , the presidential contest was at its height in Washington. Church Howe had changed places from the house to the senate. Early in the session , a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on tlio part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler having received a majority of the electoral votes were en titled to their seats. This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lasted two days. Church llowo asked to bo excused from voting when it first came up and was so excused. On the final passage of the resolution the record Lpago 870 , Senate Journal 1877 , ] shows the following result : Y0"8 Ambrose , Haird , Hlanchard , Bryant , Calkins , Cams , Chapman , Colby , Dawcs , Garfield - field , Gilham , Hayes , Kennard , Knapp , Popoon , Powers , Thummol , Van Wyok , Walton anil Wilcox 20. Those voting in the negative were ; Aton , Brown , Covcll , Ferguson , llinman , Holt , Church Howe and North 8. During the same session of the legisla ture , Church Howe's veto on United Slates senator for the first three ballots Is recorded as haying been cast for 15. W. Thomas , a South Carolina democrat , [ pngos 108 and 208 Semite Journal. ] All this time Church Howe professed to bo a republican independent , republican on national Issues and a temperance granger on local issues.

Lot mo pre.son them an they are and as they will bo proved to bo before many days have passed Goronlmo's ' surrender to Genera Crook in May and his sub sequent o oapo arc well romom bored. It was followed bv Genera Miles' arrival in tlm territory. Miles came to this country of mountains urn canyons fresh from a command ridel had to deal with a dillereiit class of In dians. Kutirely inexperienced iu Aimcho warfare he made his llrst mistake in his iCud boasts oi whiil lie proposed to do "by reversing Crook's methods. " Ac cording to his fuglonuiiitho Indian scouts were to bo abandoned as nn trustworthy , the regular cavalry were to do the pursuing , and the Apaches were to bo worn out by a relentless pur suit into "unconditional surrender" 01 annihilation in the Held. The papers wore loaded with statements of the orgam/ation of his campaign , of the additional troops called lor , thu enrollment mont of frontier legions , the equipmen of a corus to signal the trial of the sav f gcs and the tremendous efforts whicl wore to bo made to close the war will dispatch. There was AN IMMP.NJK AMOl.'NT Ol' BUXrOMIirj , all for public ofl'ect , a largo display o wasted energy , several useless campaigns without results , and llnally a Hirrcndci of the Apaches on their own terms I had the pleasure yesterday of talking with an ollicor recently in the field abou the close of the campaign , and send yet his htatcniunt , given lo mo with no ide:1 : of its publication. Ho said : "There has been so much claptrap am misrepresentation in regard to Gcro piino'H 'unconditional' surrender , that i is dillicult for one to talk about it withoul showing some little fooling of disgust. ] cannot bo accused of prejudice , bncau.su 1 am not personally acquainted with either General Miles or Law ton , the two heroes of the hour. 1 do not desire to detract one lota from the credit and glory fairly won by cither of them or by any other soldier But I happen to know TIIV : FACTS of Geronimo's surrender and departure and of all the proceedings betoro tho.si events. and if there is not a boomerang in store for somebody , I shall bo greatly surprised. I fail to understand w liy Iho army should bo placed in a false lighl when the truth must certainly como oul in time. The despatches sent out have been carefully worded to correct the 'coming in' of the hostiles with the oper ations of Lawton's command nnd have conveyed the impression that the hostilcs wore cornered and sur rendered unconditionally. Nothing could bo farther from the truth. About two months iiso Second Lieuten ant Brown , of Captain Lawton's com mand , with a detachment ran upon a hostile camp down in Sonora and got a few horses and some camp baggage. There was nothing remarkable In this , as It is something the troops have done a number of times since the hostihss wont out nearly two years ago. But to read the dispatches printed nud furnished through Miles' ' literary bureau onu would have thought that the achievement was stupendous. As a matter of fact , result- less ns it was , this was tiio only time that Lawton's command over struck the Indians. Ho marched a great deal , worked hard and per- sibtonily like everyone else has who has had anything to do with field service hem , but ho dii'n't ' bring in Ger- oniino , because ho was not yet ready to admit that thu Apaches could not bo 'cap tured and would not surrender except upon their own terms. Lawtou. did not do the service of tl.o command of Davis and Crawford last year. Still the effort has been made to identify him wholly with all that has been attained out here when , and mark my words , he never had a light , never draw mood and NEVKIt CAl'TUUEl * AN INDIAN. For those masons there was no oppor tunity afforded Miles or Lnwton for tlio valorous achievement and gallantry with which the country Is being dosed. It finally began to dawn upon Miles that if anything was to bo donu it could only bo accomplished by a return to Gen eral Crook's old and well-tried methods. The discarded Indian Kcouls were taken up , and Iho oll'icer * In charge -vcio givou to understand that the Apaches must bo brought , In on any terms , but brought in without delay. Accordingly Lieu tenant Galewoud with two Chiricahaua .scouts sot oul on thu mission of finding Goroulmo and treating with him fo r hiu siirrendor , IJuhad no dilllmtlty in Uniting them on this Imslg , I assure you , ( ioroniiMO hud been anxious to trout over since ho irot over Ins Msuio with Crook and his family wuro Bent by that general to KJorltl.1 , Lieutenant - ant Gatuwood got a talk with the hullun. and persuaded tlumi that it would bo quite safe for tiii'in to como into I ho neighborhood of Lawton's commands Giirommo and Nntohu/ positively refused to Burrendor tu Captain Lawton for reasons well known to army olllcurs. They would do nothing more than agree to a contenmco with Genural Miles , and upon thu urgent roprcNoulatlous of Lawton - ton that the Indians would certainly 'hkip out' unless the general came down , Miles posted ofl'as hastilyas po.ibihloto hold the conference , Meiintlmti Uuroinmo in formed Lawton thnt if Miles wanted to fee him he could bo found at Stolotou Canyon , and at that point several days later the couforonco was held. There the treaty or bargain was made , Tlio conference . opened by Miles . handing j. * * < rif * Gijronlmo n elgar , The | Indians were clearly and dolinitely given to under. tnud1hU ; they would h'c sent to Florida to join their people tlieru and that TIIKIU UVKS WKIIB JX NO IlANUKtl. They wore ui'god to follow General Miles back lo Bowie , not as prisoners of war , but as parties to an agreement mudo on terms to suit themselves , licroninio frankly admitted th"t ho would have coruo in any time wiring the pabt twenty wueks on these conditions , but that thu blood thirsty talk of Miles had led him to 1 > I llovo that ho would bo butchered IT V" caught. Ho said ho was anxious to > cn his wives and children , and that his pen plo felt as ho did. Lvorybody famili i' with these Indians has known all aim that this was thu easiest and most pracn- c.iblo method of getting thorn in. J t \ \ u - precisely the policy of Crook , onlv t was easier for Miles than OooK , because the latter band hnil every Induct iiieut to join Ihcir relatives and friend- Anil Ibis was the famous 'uneondltioi i surrender,1 a surrender on Geroniiun own terms , made in his own camp \ \ In n he was free to do as ho pleased and h \ , \ Miles and his ollicers at his mercy.

Iho Apaches marching along with him under no restraint whatever just as they came up from San Bernard I im before. And now tor a little piece oi information. At n cninp about nine inlli < from Bowlo Lawton camped our night. In the morning when thu Indian * were rounding up their ponlos prupnni lory to marohing , seven of them , three bucks , thrco squaws and a boy , 'skipped out. ' This Was not known for some time afterwards and Iho cavalry 1 am told have been out after them ever since. On the night of the 151th citizens came In and reported that those Indians had stolen twelve of their horses on the prev ious night near Camp Kmmcl Crawford and had killed n number of cattle. Tlm troops and scouts are still In pursuit. This has been UAitirpt.TY ; SLMTIUSSKI : > because it will not hitch well with that story of unconditional siirrcndor. General Miles hits acted like a theatrical imimigor in the whole business. Every thing possible has been done to make Gorontmo'.s surrender a personal triumph. When Cnptuln Lawton arrived at Fort Bowie Iho Fourth cavalry band , which had boon sent for the purpose , discoursed thrilling martial music. The Indians were placed under no res traint , although I notice in the news paper reports that they were in Irons In the guaul house. 'Ihoy were treated with marked consideration In every respect , and paraded themselves around an if they owned Iho post. Geromino. as big as a lord , logged out hi store cloiho.s and a now hat , strutted to and fro , the hero of. the hour , Ono day General Miles liad pickets put out around the po.st , but it was to eject citizens and to keep them from 'annoy ing1 the Indians. Three troops of cav alry marched down to Bowie station with the Indians , the band playing them out of the post. They have gone east to their friends and families ; gone where they have bcou anxious to go ever since Crook broke tlm back of the outbreak by exiling nine-tenths of the band and where they could have been sent months ago if General Miles had not been more anxious to pose before the public than to wind up the campaign. " Let ino summarize. General Miles failed miserably iiulil hi ! adopted every one of Crook's ' methods , scouts and all. Goronimo surrendered to Gatewood and on his own terms. Sineo poor Crawford's death not an Apache has been killed , wounded or captured , and Goronimo would still bo skipping about in Iho mountains of Sonora unless Miles had surrendered Ins much vaunted policy and yielded to the Anaeho's demands.
