that the Commission wanted the indians prisoners OF
war and had not thought that OF them were to be

TO Washington to have talk with the Great Father IN
tho subject OF their wrongs.
"N Now iuasmuoh as the principal difficulty the CON-
mission has been struggling with to induce the In
dans to giye themselves up for trial. and as they had
finally consented upon condition that they should not
be tried In Colorado this afcctation Of misundersand
ing the wishes of the Commission was too much for even
the patience OF General Hatch and for thr second time
since the c0nvenng OF the Commission he lost his tenn
,er and for the first time he lost confidence IN the final
success OF efforts Last night no expressed himself
tn the effect that he did not believe that Ouray nad
mower to enforce the surrender Of the Utes He mas
think finally given up the hope that the Indians Will be
surrendered and is making preparations to start out
and Onrny was reproacbed by him for any display
of had faith with direct ylng nut ne was tolu w
