The Ute War.
CAMP ON WHITE RIVER, four miles
north of agency, Colorado, Oct 20.-This
afternoon Gen. Merritt and command re-
turned to this point, orders from Wash
ington being to suspend operations
against the Utes and await orders at
White or Bear river, as negotiations for
peace are in progress, it being under
stood that the hostiles have agreed to
surrender the warriors engaged in the re-
cent depredations.
1t is probable that the combined COM
mands of Merritt and Gilbert will re-
main for the present ut this point, al
though nothing definite is known as TO
future movements. In the event of peace
being established it is altogether proha-
bic that permanent military post will
be constructed either at Bear river or the
agency.

Paris says the total damage by the recent

the relief of the sufferers, and Princess
Austurias 5000 plasters. The bank of
Spain has collected 10000 francs for the
same purpose.
Indians Must Go.
WASHINGTON, October 19-Inspector
w. j. Pollock telegraphs to the Com
missioner of Indian affairs, at Denver,
Colorado, that the Governor and leading
citizens here unanimously affirm that
the Indians must be removed from the
state or be exterminated by the state, if
not by federal forces. Confidence, they
say, can never be restored, and it is only
a question whether the result be attained
at once or by slow and tedious warfare
1t is more than likely that there will
be lively tustle between the War and
Interior Departments before the question
| as to what course shall be pursued to-
wards the recently belligerent Utes is
determined upon. Gen. Sherman wishes
to have the United States troops follow
up the Indians and capture them, to be
punished according to law. The Int
rior Department, on the other hand, is
very strongly inclined to have the troops
Withdrawn and the whole matter settled
on the humanity basis. Neither depart
ment seems willing to abandon its posi-
ton, and the whole subject will go to
the President and Cabinet upon its re-
assembling. The chances, however,
seem to be on the side of the Interior
Department.

nation that another all day council was

PinoS. All are united, and DESTROYS of
peace, and request that runner be seat
out bearing the assurance already given.
Twenty-four chiefs were present The
Indians of this agency are all encamped
around our house. Not one report in
fifty has particle of truth, and the facts
are exaggerated beyond reason. The wo-
men and children are safe but probably
will not be given up until after matters
are arranged by the peace commission,
which is expected here in week from
Washington.
