Capt. Getchell, in excavatiug for II eel
lar near the AmoOnOsuc river Saturday,
came upon some bones which on exam

refused to 60 unless all the prisa

were surrendered. Ouray asked
further time, and five days more
were granted to deliver them at
Cline's ranch, 80 miles from here,
on the road to Alamosa, at which
place Gen. Hatch will await their
coming. Ouray is either playing a
double game, or is unable to ac~
complish what he attempted: The
snow is from five to fifteen feet deep
on a range, and the General is com
PEELED to build a slugh in order to
make the trip. The success of the
Commissioner is somewhat doubtful,
and the army may yet be called
