His Lift* Huns; in the Balance as He 1 Walked Into the Indian Camp to Ask Their Surrender. U *T" N the wayjof straight out nerve | and dariug there is nothing in J[ the annals of 6avage warfare to . (C bent Lieutenant Gatewood's ex- j ploit in entering the camp of the renegade Apaches in the campaign of 1886 ] to persuade them to surrender to the ^ United States troops." The man from Tucson was talking, ' and when his discourse is of Indians or frontisr desperadoes the people ! near him in the Hoffman House office gather to listen. "It was in the last Apache war, ten 1 years ago, which had as its outcome 1 t.hA ^flnnrtation of the hostile Attaches 1 from Arizona to fort3 on the Atlantic coast, where they were corralled beyond the power of doing further mischief. After the renegades had surrendered in March, 1880, to General Crook, thirty-five of them, including Geronimo, their war chief, and Natchez, the son of the famous Cochise, slipped away by night and went again on the warpath. For five months they were at large, raiding and massacring over a region comprising 30,000 square miles of mountainous country, while 3000 soldiers on our side of the line and as many Mexican soldiers across the border were fcrvinp to run down and intercept them. The trouble was not in fighting them? a half company ol our troops could have whipped the whole band of renegades in a fair fight in an open fieldbut to overtake and bring them to an engagement. They knew the trails and passes and water holes of the vast mountain region in which they operated, and, being swift and tireless runners, with no baggage to impede them, they kept up their game of hide and seek with our troops for a long time. Everywhere that they went their course wa6 marked by cruel murder and outrage, with every horror of Indian warfare enacted in its worst form. "Following the appointment of General Miles to the command of the ? Department, of New Mexico and a Arizona the pursuit of the hostiles was I carried forward with fresh vigor, g Everywhere that they were likely to e go the mountains were thoroughly t scouted, guards were stationed at the c prinoipal water holes, and the helio- a graphic service, then newly intro- c duced, flashed orders to troops in the a field and information of the move- t ment6 of the Apachee from one peak ? to another over vast areas of country, i: Captain Lawton, of the Fourth Cav- A airy, led the direct pursuit of Gero- i' nimo's band, and gave the Indians no I rest. Several times he captured their t 2amp with its provisions, slock and p munitions, but on every occasion the g ipaches got away among the moun- * ;ains in time to save their 6kins. The a United States got too hot for them f' tnd they crossed the border into Mexco. Captain Lawton followed them, f tnd the Indians, pursued by our rnnnn n.nrl fhfl MflTi'c.an t.rnnriR At, thfl ~ ? ? r~ ? p iame time, found themselves in a tight )lace. j "This was in the middle of August. j t was learned through a deserter a . ew days later that Geronimo's band ^ pas encamped near the town of Fron- ^ eras, in the Sierra Madre, and that ^ hey wore exhausted by the fatigues ^ >f their long flight, were short of g| ood, and nearly out of ammunition. ^ Cbe Apaohes were trying to make ernis with the Mexicans on the basis ? >f peace with them, while they should ? >e left free to raid northward into Jmted States territory. With Captain 1/awton's command was Lieutenant C. 3. Gatewood, of the Sixth Cavalry, an sxperienced Indian fighter, wha spoke he Apache language and personally tnew Geronimo. He volunteered to a ;o to the Apache camp and treat with j he Indians for their surrender. With ,wo Chiricahua scouts as companions ^ le set out on his errand in advance of ^ ;he column of soldiers. "The Indians were encamped in an ^ >ld, abandoned Jesuit mission village, ^ irailt of adobe houses with an adobe j( yall about it. On arriving near the place Gatewood left his horse with the Q ;wo scouts outside, and walked alone nto the village. At sight of him the [ndians seized their guns; recognizing jeronimo among them, he laid down [lis carbine and beckoned to him. The Dhief came forward and the two sat lown on a pile of stones to talk ^ together, while the warriors waited in ft aminous silence for the orders of their e leader. Geronimo's first emotion t seemed to be of astonishment that the a white man should put himself into his g power, and his first words were of t sinister import. " 'Are you aware of the danger yon t run in coming into our camp?' he n said. 'You are foolhardy. Do you t expect to leave this place alive?' <3 "Gatewcod, knowing that his life ^ was in the balance, answered him with u perfect composure. a *' 'Certainly you can kill me,' he e said. 'But would that be the act of a ' great chief toward one who has given t him his confidence? What have you t to gain by it? Our troops are coming t apon you from the north, and the n Mexican troops have surrounded you c from the south. Would you not better surrender to as than be killed or t trust to the mercy of the Mexicans?' a "Tho conversation thus begun led f bjr degrees to the subject of capitula- o tion.. Geronimo, at first resentful and A auspicious toward all whites, gradu- d ally came around to the views of his a visitor, who, knowing the Indian's a character, plied him with a judicious I mixture of flattery, intimidation and appeals to his self-interest. Gatewood was empowered to offer no terms but unconditional surrender, with the c agreement that the prisoners should s not be murdered by the soldiers. I General Miles, he said, would decide t all matters of that sort when Geronimo f should meet him. The chief was very anxious to learn all ho could about li General Miles, whom he had never t seen. " 'Is be a large man, and how does t he carry himself?' 'Has he a bright eye or a dull eye?' 'Does he talk slow a ur fast?' were some of the questions a that he asked. Lieutenant Gatewood I replied that General Miles had a I bright eye, and did not talk much, a bat that what he said oould be relied i: on. ? ? \ - J t "As the conversation proceeded th officer could see that Geronimo wa becoming pleased, and was beginnini tc regard with favor the overtures fo bis surrender; and the feeiings o their chief was reflected in the face of his gaunt and hungry warriors. "To-morrow, on your acsuranc that I shall come and go in safety, will go to Captain Lawton and tall with him," said Geronimo at last "You shall take this message to hin that he may expect me." "This closed the interview, an< Lieutenant Gatewood walked out o the camp with his mission accom plished, where an hour before then was a far greater prospect that h< would lose his life. Next day Gero nimo had a talk with Captain Lawton with the result that he agreed to g< northward with him to meet Genera Miles, then at Fort Bowie. The; started the next day, Geronimo'e bam ind Captain Lawton's commanc narcbiog in parallel lines, and oftei samping very near each other ai aight. After marching in this man aer eleven days they met, at Skeletal Uanon, General Miles, who bad startec from Fort Bowie, and there Geronim< ind Natchez, with their band Jof fol lowers, surrendered unconditionally ;o him with the single condition tha their lives be spared. Geronimo Natchez and two warriors were drivei n an ambulance to Fort Bowie, th< nearest railway station, the otheri following on foot. From Fert Bowii ;hey were sent east to Fort "Pickens V little later all of the Chiricahua ant SVarm Springs Apaohes remaining oi ;he San Carlos reservation were de jorted to Fort Marion in Florida, anc ;he Southwestern country, for the firs ;ime in its history, was freed from the ;errors of Apaohe warfare."
