and his bund, together with u statement
of hi position In regard to tho terms of

etc.. and uftcrwnids recites mibstuutiully
tho following details:
8ome dnys prior to tho surrender u tie-
ncrter from Gcroniino'H lmnd raino into
Genera Miles' camp will) tho information
that tho rcnej:ndcn were short of food,
clothing nnd ammunition, were fnotfioro
nnd nearly exhausted from long ninrclics,
nnd could not hold out miicli longer.
Theroupon General Miles onlorcd Licutcn
nut (iiitcivond, who know Gcronimo anil
Natchez well and spoke tho Apacho lan
guage, to take a guard ot two men, obtain
n. parley if possible with Geroiilmo, nnd
moo if ho would surrender. This mission
Lieutenant Gatowood accomplished nuc
cessfu ly. I fa informed Gunmiino, in
nnswer to the chief's qucslloii, that ho had
no authority to offer him terms. Our
oninio then asked to bo tnknn to Captain
I.n ton, who hum in tho linmedhito neigh
borhood. This was done, and on lepenling
the quost Ion asked Lieutenant Ontewood.
Captain Lawtoti told him that ho could
ma lie no tonus and that hoinnst surrender.
Gcronimo then wan led toseoGeuurnl Miles,
nnd both parties-Cnploiii Law ton and
command, and Lieutenant Gatew'iod and
tierotiiiuo, Natrhe.and heir bund net out
for tho nort li, trn vollug for hoiud 1 iys in
Iinrellel I i in h, and within sight of each other,
n tliu ineantime u inesseng r had boon sent
uhand to not ify General Miles of their ap
proach. On coming into ncucrul M les'
camp, Goriinimo, as before, asked what
terms would be given him if ho surrendered.
Thngeiuitnl replied ho I nil no terms I o offer;
that if ho and h h baud Hiiricndf red nt all,
they must surrender as ptisonoiH of war:
that they must lay down t eir arms ami
trust tho president or tho United Slates.
Upon this Geroiiiiiio laid down his arms
mid signified his willingness to surrender,
lint Natchez, whohad In tho iiieaiilluickept
tint of rea h and refused to come in, sent
word that ho wanted to go to tho White
mountains for a month, whereupon Geroii
lmo went out nltor Nulrhor. and soon re
turned with Iiiui. Geroiilmo, In explana
tion nnd justification of his conduct, said
that lie left the reservation for t he reason
that t hero was u conspiracy afoot there,
lie.ith d I iv t 'hi'ttn, to murder him. Geroii
lmo, Natchez, and two others weio loaded
into an niiibulaiice, followed by tho lest of
tho baud in charge ot Captain LuMon. and
taken to l'oit Howie station and shipped
to Texas.
Gcneinl Miles, In his repnrl, argues at
some length t lie (pioslion of punishment,
nnd rn Is n I ten I Ion to t ho fact I lint heioto

compliments Captain Lutnu, Lieiileuaut
(Jitlcwnnd and tho nlllceis and soldiers gen
rrally for their meritorious bervico during
Tin) campalgii.
From an unity frlond ot Lieutenant Gate-
wood it it learned that ho found Oeroniino
nnd his band encamped near thu Mexican
town of h'rniito. as, in Sonora, an old Mos
lem ndolio hamlet, sun ouiulcd by an
adobe wall. It was nt one time n mission
si'tt onieut, founded by Jesuits When
Lieutenant Giitnwonil ciiino upon the baud
ho left his guards and nb'ua walked into
iironlmo'H camp. On iieoiug the intruder
tho Indians seized (heir gnus, but on the
lieutenant's laying down his linns and
beckoning Geroiilmo, whom he reroguiz !,
the Indians also In d down their guns and
camo forward. Tliu two seated themselves
on n pile nf stones, Guroiiiino wanted to
know what kind ot u man General Miles
Mas whether ho hnd a bright n.vo or a dull
one; whether ho talked fast or slow;
whether he was a largo man. and what was
his general appearance. He wanted In
know all about him, Guteuonii replied
that General Miles hnd it bright eye, did
not talk much, but what ho said could be
relied on. The Indian was much pleased
wiih this ussurance, nnd togrlher they
walked away to find Captain Lawton.

Clmngo special: As tho concluding scenes
in tho great trial of tho nnnrchists ap
proached the close moro interest wns taken
and tho suppressed excitement became
more marked. Hundreds nnd hundreds
of people wended their wny townrd the
criminal court building to-day, ench one
desirous of listening to tlto conclusion of
the speech by Anarchist Parsons, nnd with
tlio expectation of hearing tho death son
tenco pronounced. Parsons resumed his
speech ns soon ns the court was opened.
He proceeded to discuss tho course of him
self nnd Ids colleagues in regard to
arms nnd ilynniuitc. Ho quoted seme
nlleged utterances of railroad men and
others in regard to tho means to bo used
to suppress tho riots of 1878. Since theso
utterances wcro made it had become tho
custom to call out tho militia In tho cases
of strikes. Monopoly, ho declared, had
been the aggressor. It hnd first suggested
the rifle dietnud Ihchnnd-gronnde. "And,"
ho continued, "the bomb thrown nt tho
Hay tnui ket wns thrown by a ninn cm-
ployed by monopoly sent hero from New
York to throw it. in older to break up tho
eight-hour movement." Paouns read in a
prosy sort of way from uiiitiuscript several
pages about wateied stock and fictitious
capital ami Hie profits thereon, to tho in-
(uiy of imp nyes. Mayor Harrison s ew
York World interview was also read and
commented on at some length. Parsons
asked if he was to be hanged because he
was a menili'-r of tho American group, and
muint.iii ed that that organization wns
jiistilti'd in bearingnruis. .Judge McAllister
hud held that the police could not invndo
the mi clings of woikmeii and break them
up, and it was fur tlio purpose of repelling
an a't.ick mid for tho purpo o of defense
that the workinguien bore anus.
Parsons next nttackrd the informers.
Waller nnd Seliger, and said that they had
not only been paid for their testimony by
tlio Mlnle, but had lifciind liberty promised
them if they would m n.-i 1 1 . The means hiii

an adjournment at tho usual time, saying
Hint ho would need two hours lo close, but
was weakened by confinement nnd unable
to proceed, .ludgo Gary declined to mi
nim, bill gavo the prisoner nil tho time ho
wanted. Parsons then proceeded with Ins
ending and denounced enpitahsts, the.
police ami the press ntgient length.
.luogo (jury in addressing tun prisoners
said he was ipiito well aware that what
they had said, although addressed to tho
court, had been addressed to tho wor d, yet
not lung had been said which weakened tho
foi ce of Iho proof or I lie conclusions there
in on which the verdict was bused. 1 ho

A I.vtttr from tlir firerelary of the Interior
to Ilia Attorney (lenertil.
Washington special: Tho secretary of
tho interior to-day addiessed a letter to
tho attorney general, recommending that
ho commence suit to set aside tho mineral
entry No. 10, patented under misappre
hension to Michael ICarly, in tho city of
Deadwood, D. T Alter tho town situ of
Deadwood wan Inid out and largely built
upon, it was discovered that a large part
olgroun I through tho body of tlio city was j
of u mineral character, and subject to
entry for placer mining. Many en t lies of
mineral lands were miido, nnd the town
site proprietors had to see tho land with
till improvements taken front under their
their noses. Long lljlits before the interior
department, with all adjuncts of survey
ins, geologists, mining experts nnd analy
tical experts resulted, ami the html pro ted
to bo mineral land, and the town site own
era had to give in. Prospectors continued
to thx k in and take up hind on the edge of
tlto pluo'is. ""'I wur" 11 ,alr to ,u'i0
up the whole town. The interior depart
ment has now dlsnnered that an element
of tiaud entered into these mineral entries,
nnd that among others Mr. Michael Hirly,
to whom mineral entry No. -10. for placer
No. lit was patented, entore I into collusion
wit!: 'he deputy survevor who Inid out tho
plats, and that together they salt -d the
bind ho as to tle-nivo the nssnvers and
mining experts. For this reason tho de
part cut recommends that the suit bo
brought to set aside the patent. It is now
n question In the minds of the authorities
of the bind department as to whether more
it these out i les hsvo not beou salted, and
w belli, r mucliof theso called mineral land

L. Lcavilt wns made public to-dnj, nnd ii
in brief to the effect thai John Arnsdorf
one of the proprietors and foreman of tho'
Frnnz Hrcwery, tired Him shot Hint killed
the Hcv. George ('. Haddock, tho prohibi

Lcavilt claims Hint it wns not prearrnnged
to kill Mr. Haddock, but only to slug him,
nnd that when tho parties wcro closing
around tho victim, Arnsdorf rushed in and
fired the fatal shot. Arnsdorf - as arrested
last night in I'avpiijiort where ho wns in
attendance upon tlio state encampment of
Knights of Pythias. He wns brought here
to-night from Council niufts nnd is in tho
custody of Sheriff McDonald. Severul
other nrrcsts wcro mndo to-dny, Including
Paul Leader, projirietor of tho Milwaukee

former is out on $5,000 bail, tho latter in
jail. Warrants hnvo been issued for the
nrrcst of Georgo Trileer, Louis Plath and
J. U. Urown.
Mr. Hill, of tho Tribune, was intimate
with Leavitt, nnd it wns through this inti
tnncy Hint Leavitt was induced to surren
dcr himself. Ler.vitt has not yet beet
brought here. Hill drought back with htu
from Chicago the evidence of Leavitt, tho
substance of which is as follows:
I joined the aloon keepers' association
August . 1'rcst Muuclirath, Georgo 1 lie-
her, Simonsou, Louis Plath, nnd another
man mid myself, after tho meeting ad
journed, arranged to have men to do
Walker tipthe next daynt the couit house.
The next day tho men were too drunk to
carrv out the plans. I thought, tins would
be the end of t ho matter, but Mat Cas.sncnr
told me next day he had two men to do the
job for SUlO. Triobor said everything hnd
been arranged with the policemen. I was
on hand when Wood nnd Walker left the
court house expei ting to see the job done
null point out t ho ui tims to the sluggers.
Hut King and Witldevrmg, tho men, tailed
to curry out their part of Iho programme,
and so nothing canto of it. On the night ol
August It, 1 met J'red .Miiiichruth, George
Trieber, Louis Pint h, a saloon keeper whose
name I don't know, and two Dutchmen
hum Trieber said were men he hud to do
up Walker. They were talking about Had
dock and Turner driving out to Greui t itle.
Henry Haberiiiiiu, Trieber, P'lith. and my
self got into a hack, let the windows down,
and followed the preachers out. When we
came back wo stopped at Junks mid got it
drink. When wo left to go home, the two
Dutchmen hired by Trieber were nt the
door: John Areiihdoif camo out of the
saloon about this time, aud the Dutchmen
said to him: "The buggy lias come back."
We all started in the direction of the livery
stable. In tho party were Arensdorf.
.Miinchrath. Trieber. Plath, Henry, myself
nnd the two D itihineii Sherman rind
Lunge. I thought thcro would be nuothei
failure. Miiiichiaihsuggested not topuiie'.
Ilnddock too hind, but to hit him in ti e

We saw Haddock coming and Arensdorf
started toward bun. When hecnine up in
front of him lie looked him in the face rnd
tin en- up h.s hands. Haddock then pu.led
something from his pocket aud struck
Arensdoif. I saw Arensdorf draw his gun
and hhoot Haddock. Then wo all run. 1
went home mid told my wife I went to sot
a slugging match and hu a minder. I am
salisllid it was Arensdorf who did the
shooting, an ho was the only ono to cross
the street toward Haddock. I saw Are is
doif the next morning. He claimed he
thought Haddock was going lo shoot mid
fii ed in self defeffse. I went several limes
to Justice Foley's olllco to make a confes
sion, but never had the courage. My wife
urged mo strongly to do so. About one
week alter the killing Arensdorf cnnio to me
in fi out of Wurlich's saloon, and he said to
me: "Henry, tho driter of tlio wagon,
knows all about this, nnd I mn tliinkiii.' of
sending him over into Nebraska lo his
home." I said: "You hnd bet tor let him
stay light here, as you can't tell how this
thing is coming out, nnd I won't havo it
that way."
I was in tho court room Snturdny, July
:il.aud Monday nnd 'I tiesday, August U
nnd U. 1 had never seen Mr. Haddock to
know who ho wns before I saw him in the
court house. 1 have never been in Wiscon
con nnd I havo never been in Hurbngl on,
nor havo 1 any acquaintances there. In the
whipping that was talked about on Tues
day afternoon at tho court house Munch
rath said that he had just been to Junk
and got tho money mid gave it to Cormen.v.
He said this in t lie presence of King mid
Wahloviing, Trieber mid myself, and King
and Waldevring agreed to do it and wo
seiuirateil. Miinchrath afterwards gave mo
a note to Cormeny to get $50.
Mrs. Leavitt's statement is corrobora
tive of her husband's. She says Leavitt
told her tho night of tho murder that
Au-nsdorf did tho shoMing and swore to it
by Ids dead mother. Arensdoif wns
brought heis by tho officer to-night, nnd
probably will have a hearing to-morrow.

He'ena (Mont.) sjiecial: Advices from

intelligence that the Hlood Indians, on tho

preparations for war upo i tlio inimical
tribes in Montana, and that they are al
ready massing their forces with a view to
concontrnto them at some rendezvous be
fore making tholr raid over the border.
Parties near Fort Conrad report that al
most every day armed nnd mounted bodies
of Hlood wariiois, numbering from ten to
fifteen, are seen to arrive at Marias, but
their destination is unknown. The object
ot so much skirmishing among the redskins
is said to be u warfare upon the Ventres,
who have incurred tlieir hat red by depre
dations upon theirstock and theocca-ioual
removal ot n few sculps fiom the luckless
heads across the line. Fortho-seuufiioudly
actions the Hlooils threaten dire tougcuurc,

T1IV CULOll QV11STIOX SULT1I.
Vlewlny Calmly the, Tlireatened Aspect that
for a Time 1'creaded ltlchmond.
ltlchmond special: It Is much easier now,
after the lapse of twenty-four hours, to
rcnlizo the seriousness of tho situation here
last night over tlio color question than it
was at tho time the pressure wns on. It
hns been tho chief topic of coversntion nil
dny. nnd is the most thoroughly discussed
question to-night. It is conceded by tho
more conservntive, including tho chiof of
police, that tho slightest provocation
would hnvo resulted in a wholesale slaugh
ter Inst night. Tho color lino presents a
very delicate issue, and is one Hi -t cannot
be safely agitated. All day the whites had
been gibed about tho intrusion of Delegate
Tnt-rell into tlio academy Tuesday night,
and tho threat that tho programmo would
be repeated at tho Richmond theatre hist
night wns a severe strain upon tiiesensitivo
nerves. The great concourse of white citi
zens (there wcro very lew blacks to be seen)
that assembled to resist the "forty-niners"
if they demanded admission for tlieir col
ored delegate, was very quiot. Scarcely a
word was spoken and few sounds wero ut
tered by anybody. Tho great crowd stood
almost speechless in the streets, wailing.
When finally they departed for tlieir honied
there was that quiet demeanor that mnde
their jiresenco so impressive to ovory ono.
Men who brag and bluster seldom fight;
but no ono who saw theso hundreds of citi
zens in front of the Richmond theatre
would doubt their ability and determina
tion to strike at a given time. In com
ment big upon tlio color lino issue this eveni
ng's State snys:
"'I ho citizens of Richmond nre nmongtho
most conservative nnd peace-loving in tho
country, but they have customs they will
not suffer lo be violated. Those who visit
this city for business or pleasuro me al
ways safe in our midst, and tliey can always
letain the respect of our people so long as
they show themselves worthy of it. Hut
when nny of I hem attempt lo Inaugurate a
social (evolution among us they need not
bo surprised if they quickly arouse n right
eous, popular indignation. Tlio customs
or generations can nut be rudely trampled
under foot by a few men, who attempt ar
rogantly to exercise an authority wholly
offensive, in both its sp'rit and its object,
to the popular sonso. i hero is no class, be
tween the white and colored pooplo in this
slate, save only when some intruding out-s-der
or somo malcontent mouses race feel
ing and seeks to provoke antagonism bo-
tween tho two races. Self-respecting men
of both races rccognizo tho fact that social
rqunlity is impossib o nnd that to attempt
to force it upon any community can only
res dt in I ha most serious injury."
A number ot couimun cations nre pub
lished in this evening's State from tlio pens
of old citizens ami the temper of them can
bo Men by tho following extract from ono
of them:
"Powderly inaugurated this movement,
practically, nt Ids first appearance before
this general nssombly bv hu big himself in-
trod i u oil by a negro, nnd his speech on Hint
occasion was largely an appeal lo th-- pre-
j 1 1 1 ces of Hie negro. If tho ideas of the
visiting knigh's obtain, they will in time
force this quistion to a successful isstionud
hu e tho negro and tho whitechild educated
under tho sumo roof and in Hihsiiiiiu room,
nnd break down all social distinction. The
inter-mai riage of the races is the practical
lu-ult. This seems to bo only mm of I heir
nuns, audit remuius to be seen how fur it
ill bo accepted by the white men compos
iug the order in the South. The negro,
'poor fool,' is led beyond expression bv
w hat has been done, and yearns for the oh
liteuitioii of nil social barriers and distinc
tious, forgetting Hint God, not man, placed
the n i ii t li upon his creation. The pruetieal
outcome of nil this will bo the ilisorgauizn
t ii in of tho society, riot nnd bloodshed,
