There are various statements regarding
the probable cause of the recent Ute out
break. Secretary Schurz attributes the diff
ficulty to the efforts Indian Agent Meeker
to make the Indians work and to keep them
upon their reservation, and also to their dis
content caused by the gradual encoach-
ment of white men upon their
reservation. He is confident that
no malpractice can be attributed to Agent
Meeker, and is also certain that the Indian
Bureau is blameless in the matter. Gen.
Sherman thinks that the Utes now in revolt
were dissatisfied with their proposed re-
mOval to their new reservation in Southwest
ern Colorado, but is Of the opinion that il
Agent Meeker had had a few soldiers
at his back the trouble would not have oc-
CURED. A Washington dispatch says the
War Department claims to have had InfOr-
nation weeks ago that these Indians were
restless and ready to break out on the slight
est provocatiOn, and recommended
that proper precautionary measures
be taken, which recommendation
the Indian Bureau wholly ignored. This
the Indian Office people deny in toto. An
other probable cause mentioned is the fail
ure of the Government to pay this tribe the
sum of $4,000, due under the Brunot treaty
of 1873, by which the San Juan mining re-
gion was coded by them to the Government.
