AN Alamosa (Col.) telegram of the
9th says General Hatch was still there with
the Ute Commissioners, who were anxiously
awaiting permission from the Interior De-
partment to start on their journey to Wash
ington. The dispatch further states that,
although three of the Indians with General
Hatch were White River Utes, sit must not
be supposed that any of them belong to the
star list Of twelve Mccker murdercrs.
None of these have been surrendered, nor
has there been any offer to surrender them.
The only scmblance of surrender was when
Chief Douglas and his son Johnnie with
one of the others, called at Ouray's house,
and the latter notified General Hatch that
they were there, and he could 60 and take
them if he wished. But as Douglas party
numbered some twenty or thirty warriors,
and Hatch had only fifteen men, he did not
accept the invitation to take Douglas. 1t
is believed here that the murdcrcrs will
never be surrendered, and that the delcga-
ton to Washington is simply rusc for the
purpose of delaying decisive action by the
Governments BY permission of Secretary
schurz Ouray's wife will accompany him to
Washington.
