DANGER OF WAK BETWEEN NORTHWESTERN ‘TRIBES, A communication from Minister West has been transmitted by the Department of State to the War department, calling attention tothe threatening state of affairs on the boundary line between Montana and the British posses- sions, and suggesting the adoption of measures to prevent raiding across the Ine by hostile Blood and Piegan Fndians. It is presumed by the War department that the general in com+ mand of that section has already taken steps to guard against further raids, by mussing a suffi- Clent force ut the usual crossingplaces. A dispatch from Helona, M. 'f., October 12, says: The Blood Indians on’ the other side are muking active preparations to come over and raid the Montana tribes. The object is an- nounced to be warfare upon the Gros Ventres, who have incurred their hatred by depreda: tions upon stock and the occasional removal of a few scalps from heads across the line. These Tumors ate so well founded that the military authorities of both the United States and British America have taken steps toward quelling the tumult, and have placed availuble troops in the best possible position tor the protection of life and property should the threat of invasion be made good. Troop L, 1st cavalry, under com: mand of Lieut. Backus; troop H, commanded by Capt, Hunter, and two companies of intan- try (Patterson’s ‘and Hurbuch’s) have been or- dered to Fort Belknap, where they are now en- camped. The rumored Invasion his excited the Canadian authorities, and it is reported. that sevaral militia regiments will be sent to the northwest at onee to reinioree the mounted police.

A summary of the individual playing of the different teams of the National base ball league dhas some very interesting information for pa- trons of the game.

Hodgkin had one of WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH THEM? The version of Gen. Miles’ report regarding the surrender of the renegade Apaches, pub- lished yesterday, does not settle the question as to what were the exact terms under which the the Indians surrendered, Tnis account gives the story of the termination of the campaign correctly ino general way, but It 1s not quoted from the original report, and does not give Gen. ‘Miles’ exactlanguage, which has not,as yet, sat- isfled the President and the Secretary of War. Itis known that Gen. Miles in his report does not say in so many words what the conditions of surrender were, but a careful consideration of his language leads to the conclusion that the Indians were given certain assurances as to their future treatment, It may have been, as stated, that they surrendered as prisoners of war simply, but even then there would be con- ditions attached, out of which grow many knotty problems. IF THEY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PRISONERS oF WAR they could not be turned over to the civil au- thorities to answer for their crimes, and the only means of punishing them would be the verdict of @ trial by military commission. In attempting to proceed in this direction difficul- es would be met with. They could not be tried under the Modoc precedent because the Modocs were punished for a “violation of the laws of war,” the overt act being the treacher- ous killing of av enemy during a truce. They could only betried by a military commission, 48 a public enemy, but to do this it would have tobe proved thatthe Apaches asa tribe were at war with this country, for it bas been held heretofore “that A MILITARY COMMISSION COULD NoT LEGALLY BE CONVENED for the trial of Indians for violation of the laws of war, on account of thefts, robberies and mur ders committed by them upon incursions into the state of Texas, where sald indians were mere raiders, with’ whose tribe, as such, the United States was not engaged in 'war.” More- Over It has been decided by the Supreme Court that a detached “band of mi ing Indians was not an “enemy.” As the renegade Indians Were simply a detachment of one of the three bands of the Apache tribe they could not be considered as subjects for trial by a military commission. WHAT CAN BE DONE with Geronimo and his companions therefore is a question difficult of solution, and is occu- pying the attention of the President and his cabinet, An eftort is being made preliminary to the solution of the problem to ascertain ex- actly what the terms of surrender were, and it cannot be learned that such information has yet been received, . Another question involved in the matter is whether Geu. Miles exceeded his authority if he accepted a conditional sur- render, Itisknown that Gen. Sheridan, when Miles assumed command, directed “that ope- Tations looking to the destruction or capture of the hostile Indians be ceaselessly carried on.” A good deal depends upon the military defini Uon of the word “capture.” It isgeneraily held among army officers that an order tu capture or destroy under such circumstances as Gen. Miles was placed in, could not perinit of any terms whatever. It fs a question whetuer the {ndiaus could be regarded as prisoners of war, and this involves the keeping inviolate of Gen. Miles’ promises if they did ‘surrender as such. ‘The whole matter 1s surrounded by difficulties. In the meantime, pending a decivion, the detailed report of Gen. Miles is dented to the public. It was submitted to Gen. Sheridan on his return irom the west for bis con=ideration Superintendent Miles Recommends an Abandonment of the |Air-Line Sys- tem. Superintendent Miles, of the -District tele- graph and telephone service, in his annual re- port to the Commissioners says in relation to underground cables, “I have made an estimate Of the cost of putting all the wires of the Dis- trict government underground and find the cost to be $150,000. This estimate is based upon laying trunk lines, as indicated on the accompanying map, measuring 83,400 lineal feet, and with loop or branch routes estimated At 138,600 lineal feet, and with 500 miles of wire. This plan if carried out would put ail the fire alarm and telephone wires ot the District within city limits underground, and afford ample facilities for the addition ‘ofall the in- struments that will be required for many years tocome. One ot two things will have to be done: put the wires underground or put then On poles of sufficient height to keep th above the trees in the streets. The latter proposition is impracticable, the other pructi- ¢al, and in the long ran tar ‘more economical, ‘The facts are tbat very soon THE FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH LINES will have to be reconstructed, whether above or below the surface. These lines were constructed in 1875, over house tops and on small poles, at _an expense, including the instruments, of $75,000, all of which Was paid by the District Of Columbia. Now these poles are all in a state Of rapid decomposition, some of them quite rote, and must be substituted in some way very soon. The house top wires are regarded by ihe owners of the houses upon which they are fastened as a nutsance aud are only toler uted because of the deep interest (elt in the tire telegraph. Whatever may have been sald or thought in regard to the success or want of success of underground wires, I think the ques- tion is fully seitied that upon short lines tor municipal purposes there is no doubt of their superiority over even the best construcied alr lines, better because frev from atinospheric dis- turbances and other airline troubies, and henee there need be no hesitancy or doubias to the racticability of an underground system.” vith the report us indicated, Mr. Miles sub- mits. a map of the elty showing where he pro- poses to lay ‘THE PROPOSED TRUNK LINES. ‘The main trunk lines, he said, should be laid as follows: Starting from the central office, at northwest corner of Sth and D streets north- west, along Louisiana avenue to Pennsylvania avenue, and thence along Pennsylvania avenue two bth street northwest.
