CARTONS IN That Territory TO Be
Strengthened.
Washington, June 29.-The Secre-
tary Of War has addressed a letter to
Governor Emory of Utah Territory, In
further answer to the letter Of that
officer Of May IL asking for the rein
forcement of the military posts in that
Territory. The Secretary says:-"I
have the honor to inform you that the
subject has undergone careful inyesti-
cation. The military authorities, while
not sharing in the belief that the Nor
mon population of Utah contemplate
violence, deem it proper to take meas
ures to allay any apprehensions such as
have been expressed. And to this end
such increase of the military force there
as may be practicable will be made in
due time. During the present summer
and coming fall General Sheridan hopes
to be able to increase the garrison at
Camp Douglass and Fort Cameron.
Should it be thought best to occupy adj
ditional points within the territory it
will be necessary for Congress to ap-
propriate funds for barracks and quar-
tiers for the troops. General Sheridan
does not fear any serious outbreak, but
should there be any indications or relia-
BILE information that such will be the
case, we have troops available and can
send them there at any time"
