the contrary, the rus,ed wheat is
greatly benefited thereby. The

Abuses in Ii.s Inaian Bureau.
CHICAGO, May 23d.-The Times
Washington special, in the course
of some severe remarks on the sub
ject, says: The Indian Bureau is
greatly concerned about the
charges of fraud against that or
ganizltion in awarding contracts.
The latest item Of news to stir up
the Bureau is the intelligence re.
ceived to-day of the deplorable
state of affairs among The Ute III
dians, of Colorado. They are on
the verge of open rebellion against
the government. They have com
planned of bad treatment for nearly
eight months; army officers have
justified their complaints and
clearly pointed out a practicable
remedy. Their reports, until very
recently, were utterly unheeded.
A short time ago Commission OF
two civilians and an army officer
was appointed to investigate the
matter. There is no possible eX-
cuse for this delay of several
months in inquiring into abuses
which, from present aspects, may
at any moment result In an Indian
war in Colorado and New Mexico.
The Utes are powerful nation,
there being over 5000 in Colorado
and some 1000 in New Mexico. If
they resolve on war it is admitted
on all hands that the Indian Blu
reau, and that alone, will be TO
blame.
