NANTICOKE RECOVERY
EFFORT:
An important
meeting of miners was held in Snyder's Hall, Nanticoke, last evening. Four days
ago, the company, on the grounds that futher work would be attended with too
much danger, ordered the rescue party to stop work.
This order
naturally created considerable agitation among the miners of Nanticoke, and of
the friends and relatives of the entombed men. Miners involved in the rescue
effort believe the danger was not so great, and that the company was using it
as an excuse to stop the rescue effot. The hall was crowded to excess. GEORGE
KIVLER, father of the three KIVLER boys who are among the victims, was chosen
chairman. Hon W W HINES was the first speaker, followed by MICHAEL MEEHAN and JOHN
EVANS. All announced their firm belief that with ordinary caution there was no
danger in prosecuting the work of rescue, and urged the men to to give an
expression to their opinions in a manner not to be mistaken.
A resolution was
passed to that all miners in the employ of the Susquehanna Coal Co peremptorily
stop work and refuse to enter the mines until the work of recovering the bodies
is recommenced.
Today the
collieries at Nanticoke will be stopped and 5,000 men and boys will be idle.

THE SITUATION AT
NANTICOKE:
The report sent out
from Nanticoke Thursday night that the men employed by the Susquehanna Coal Co
would stop work yesterday morning unless the company decided to resume the work
of rescuing the dead in the No. 1 slope at once, was somewhat premature. All
the employees went to their duties yesterday the same as usual. The meeting
appointed a committee of seven to wait upon Supt MORGAN, but when the time of
meeting arrived the committee was no where to be found. Four of them went to
work, one took his departure to Wilkes-Barre to see Mr HINES, and the remaining
two managed enough courage to wait upon Mr MORGAN. The latter received them
very courteously and asked what he could do for them. They replied that they
really didn't know what he could do for them. They left promising to return
when reinforced by the other members of the committee. (condensed)

Tombstone, Mar 21:
A soldier stationed at Mud Springs under the command of Lieut. Wheeler has
arrived here bringing the news of the surrender of Geronimo to Lieut. Maus Friday
afternoon. The Apache camp was attacked by Mexicans and a hot skirmish ensued
during which two Apaches were killed and the forces of Geronimo completely
routed. Geronimo fled in the direction of Lieut. Maus' camp for safety, and
there, made an unconditional surrender.
The Mexican troops
followed them as prisoners, and claiming that the fight occurred on Mexican
soil, and the victory was theirs. Lieut Maus refused to give up the prisoners
which greatly incensed the Mexicans, who threatened to take the prisoners by
force. Gen Crook was hourly expected to arrive in camp, but at last accounts
had not yet come. Two dispatches from Lieut. Maus have been received at Mud
Springs appealing for assistance. The situation is critical in the extreme, and
the massacre of Lieut Maus and his command may occur at any moment.
