Outbreak and Massacre at Los Pinol
Feared-Crltical Situation of Gen. Hatch
Los P1Nos AGENCY, Col. Dec. 90. via LAKE.
CrTY, COL, Dec 30.-The commission adjourned
yesterday to meet on the 29th inst. at Olint'l
ranch, at Cameron river, twenty-five miles
southeast Of the agency, there to await the ar
rival of tho prisoners. Gen. Hatch and escort
loft this morning at 4 o'clock, in drizzling
rain. Tho five days extension expires on the
Goth inst. and if all tho Indians demanded by
the commission are not surrendered on that
date the peace negotiations fail. "All. or none"
were the parting words of Gen. Hatch to Ouray
a. ho left the commission rooms yesterday
for his ranch to hold the final
Indian council, which ere this decided the fate
Of the Ute nation. Ouray fully realizes the
commission il the demand of tho nation and if
not complied with, the Utes must 60. The
surrender of the prisoners is very doubtful.
Chief Ge1o, second to Ouray, being a medicine
man, has a large following,
and he to h. tho done th
accomplishing it's work. He is in favor of
war and at the time of the White River troubles
wanted to massacre the people living on the
Gunnison and was only restrained by Ouray.
It the war department takes charge of the
Utes and the troops are ordered in they must
come quickly or Los Plnos agency may prove
second White River affair. When Ouray leaves
for Washington there will be no one
left to restrain the young bucks, and Gero is
80 hostile to the whites that he is liable to cut
loose any moment. Gen. Hatch has been very
patient, and. if successful, will be the first to
have effected the peaceable surrender of -Indi-
an prisoners, and he certainly deserves some
recognition from the President and Congress
for his services as president of the commission.
