DENVER, Col, Oct. 12.-General d. j.
Cook, of the Governors staff, in command
of the Southern district, has inst returned to
Denver. he reports the people thoroughly
organized and that regular troops are rapidly
covering the country in all directions. In.
formation received shows conclusivelY par
ticipation of southern Indians in the White
river uprising. Large numbers of Ouray' g
band are returning in small parties, with
jaded horses, thoroughly frightened at the
rapidity with which the whites and soldiers
are marching into their country. These re-
turning Indins tell Ouray, the chief, that
they they have been out hunting, but they
their trail leads directly to the Northern
agency. They are evidently trying to de-
ceive Ouray and the .. whites and
hope by this ruse to escape
punishment and condemnation for participa-
ton in the outbreak, which they themselves
have probably discovered to be disastrous.
Chief Ouray conveys the opinion by courier
that
THE LADIES AT WHITE RIVER AGENCY
are not protected by Douglass, but are held
by the willy chiefs as hostages with which to
treat, if compelled to terms. Fears are
general that the ladies', even if alive, have
suffered indignities or worse, as Douglass
often expressed strong desire to have Josie
Meeker for squaw. A telegram from the
town of Ouray to-day says Animos City is in
flames, but it is considered SO doubtful that
the Governor did not answer.
A public meeting at Greeley yesterday
passed resolutions consuming the Indian de-
partment, and called for punishment of the
murderers of Meeker, and stricter surveil-
lance of the military over the Indians.
CONTINUOUS FIGHTING.

RAw11Ns, Wy, Oct. 11.-Rumors are cur
rent here tonight, and are authenticated by
information obtained direct from General
Merritt's command through citizen named
Duffy, who left the command on Thursday
morning, that ever since Gen. Merritt
reached Capt. Payne's camp he has been
fighting the Indians. The savages seem de-
termined to keep the troops from reaching
the agency, and have fortified themselves on
commanding position. They have con-
structed a line of fertilization out of rocks
and are continually at work strengthening
their position, and to dislodge them will re-
quire an additional force. Col. Bracket, of
the Third cavalry, with detachment of six
companies of cavalry and two of infantry,
will leave for the front Monday. Horses to
remount the dismounted men of Capt.
Payne's command will be sent forward on
tomorrow.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN REPORTED SAFE.
Los P1Nos INDIAN AGENCY, COL, Oct. 12.-
Employe Brady, who went to White river
with an Indian escort under Chief Sapeno,
has returned. The Indians obeyed Chief
Ouray's order, mentioned four days ago, as
soon as communicated, ceased fighting and
moved off. No further trouble is antici-
pated unless the soldiers advance. Chief
Douglas sends word to Ouray that the wo-
men, children, money and papers Of the
agency will be sent here when safe to do it.
Ouray does not believe all the employees of
the agency were killed. Ouray endorses
the agents dispatch to Washington for the
! peace commissioners to investigate the
trouble and let the blame rest where it be-
longs. s.s 42
ALL QUIET AT THE SOUTHERN AGENCY.
A runner just in from the southern Ute
agency with letter from the agent. A
council has been held and the Utes will abide
by Ouray's order. They want peace and
will have nothing to do with the White River
trouble and request Ouray to inform the
White River Indians of their decision,
