WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3I.-Secretarg
Schurz has received two dispatches from
Gen. Hatch, written at Cline's rancho the
29th and 3Oth inst One informs the
secretary for the first time that among the
Indians offered for surrender the 25th
inst, but whose surrender was not recelV-
ed, were Douglas, the hOstiles' chief, and
several other principals n the Mecker
massacre. The last sentence OF rhe other
dispatch seems to indicate that alter Ge0,
Hatch refused to receive the sprreD-
der OF these indians, they were permitted
to 90 10 the lower Grand River aud huat
for game and that they are not h&elg 10
be found again Tor months. SacrstAry
SchuIz entGTtaius considerable doubt as 70
this being the real meaning OF the dispatch
as sent and has 5elegraphcd for explicit
Information. Ciine's rancho is ten miles
nearer than Los Pinos to the " bite River
agency and % miles nearer Lake Citv. 1t
is inferred that Gen. Hatch and his party
do not consider themselves ii danger, as
these dispatches do Dot express any
apprehension OF that kind.
