It is learned at the War department that there were some conditions either implied or ‘agreed to in connection with the surrender of Geronimo. Until the terms of the surrender ‘and ail the facts in the case ure known the dis- posal of the hostiles will not be decided upon. Gen. Drum, Acting Secretary of War, says he has ordered that all the hostiles be taken to San Antonio, Texas, to await the action of the President. GEN. MILES’ AcTroN. Immediately upon the surrender of Geron- imo, without waiting for any orders nor for communication with the War department,Gen Miles, it is understood, put the prisoners on the care and hurried them out of Arizona. In explanation of this he has telegraphed the department that it was an understanding un- der which the surrender was effected, thi neither Geronimo nor any of his followers should be held in Arizona, ‘THE WILEY CHIEF AFRAID OF THE CIVIL AU- THORITIES, Geronimo was anxious to avoid being turned over to the civil authorities, as he felt sure that there was not a jury in the territory that would not convict him, and if tried he would be hanged within twenty-four hours. Whether any other conditions than this one, of which Gen. Miles speaks in his dispatches, is not known at the department. It is certain, hot ever, that Geronimo will not be tried in the clvil courts, as there can be no evidence such as would be admissible in the court of that sort, to convict him, except in Arizona. It is doubtful, moreover, whether bis offenses come within the jurisdiction of a court martial. Itis thought at the department that they do not. But there is another tribunal, that of military commission, betore which “Captain Jack” and the other Modoc Indians were tried, which can assume Jurisdiction, ‘There is no Positive statutory provision for a military com- mission, but it his the authority of precedents, and is recognized as a sort of tribunal vo take into account cases that cannot properly come under the civil law.
