AS sREPRFsENTED-INDIAN INSPECTOR HAMMOND
AND GENERAL FISK.
TBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRrBuNEl
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-At the Cabinet meeting
this afternoon the Ute question was discussed by Sec
retaries Schurz and Ramsey. Mr.. ScLurz read num-
Der of dispatches from General Hatch all of which
have been publshed. Secretary Ramsey submitted
the views Of Generals Sherman and Sheridan both
of whom see no immediate danger to Hatch. The
general feeling among members OF the Cabinet
seemed TO be that the intelligence from the
Indian country is not of q itself sriffi-
cient to warrant belief that the pend
ing negotiations have failed. Mr.. Deerng.
member of the indian Committee of the House.
thinks it is by no means certain that we nave
received accurate reports Of the Indian SITUATION
The accounts in the Denver papers are
doubtless highly colored and the efforts
made by Belford here calculated to
manufacture sentiment against the Indians. The
situation of Hatch and his companions 5 not per-
haps in the slightest degree perous; Thought would
reassurcthe Government if fuller advIces could he
received from Los Plnos.

mond says he has himself advised hundreds
of persons 70 90 TO Arizona. and especially TO the
Globe District, to engage in mining; but in the
particular instance mentioned he had taken no
part. Hart and Miller owned mine in Ari-
zona on or near the san Carlos Indian reservation
A man named KNAPP, from jersey City, came
there with letter OF Introduction to Hammond.
The latter introduced Knapp TO Hart, and that is
all he had TO do with the purchase At the same
time his opinion being asked, he said he thought
the mine was on the reservation. Whether
It is or not man except the Sur
veyor-General can determine. The story
that he QIammond) had asserted that if the mine
turned ont to be on the reservation, he could have
the boundary lines changed. he says,
is too silly to be gravely repeated. Any
one Iwho takes the trouble to examine the Statutes
of the United States will not need TO be
told that the Surveyor General alone. at the order
of the Secretary of the Interior, can determine
boundary lines. If he matter comes before
