The Ute Indian War.

NEW York, Oct. 1.-THE Tribuns's
Washington special says: The Indian
problem promises to be n Of the most
important questions to be considered at
the next Congress. Congress called
upon the Treasury Department some
time ago for information a. to the
amount Of money thar had been sI.
pended for the Indian service since the
beginning OF the Government. The
work was perfected BY the Treasury
officials, but Congress failed to make
the necessary appropriation to prepare
the manuscript for the printers. The
result OF the research 10 known, how
ever, and the footings OF the immense
mass OF tables show that to the FIRST Of
last July, the end Of the fiscal year Of
1879, the Government had expended on
account OF Indians $751;. 000. 900. The
estimated number Of Indians now living
10 500. 900. The anxiety felt here for
the last three or four days with regard
to the fate Of the troops In the Ute
country has been such that even political
questions have been temporarily for.
gotten. The tidipgs received from Colo
RADIO have brought . feeling Of relief to
all classes. Naturally this outburst OF
var revives the talk about the transfer
Of the Indian bureau to the War Depart.
msnt. Fearful Of public criticism the
Indian authorities have prepared for
publication o statement OF all the facts
Of the present war 30 far a. they have
been disclosed by correspondence.

in doing 90. The colorsd troops GER
taiply did asht nobly and came to the
rescue In good time. Another recount
makes proper mention Of this. however.
% follows: "Ths officers express great
s~atisiaction with the action Of Captain
Dodge and his colored troops. who first
relieved Payne. Although under no
orders to do 20. he made Q perilous
march through a infested country with
forty men. and forced his way through
the savsges into the camp with
qualsd valor and pluck. The Indians
have . peculiar hatred for these colored
troops, which the latter return with in.
