Testimony against the Indian Bureau.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Wm. NJ. Leeds. for
merly chief clerk of the Indian bureau, in
terror department, was before the House COM
mittee on Indian affairs to-day. He attributed
the dissffection of the Utes to the utter mat
tention of Commissioner Hayt.
Mr.. Leeds was before the committee about
two hours. He assigned, among reasons and
causes for the disaffecti1n, the failure of the
Indian bureau to send to the Indians subsi.t-
it had agreed to do, tho prohibition by
the department of the sale of arms
and ammunition upon the reservation, leaving
them under the necessity of travelling ninety
miles to obtain the, to them, necessities of life
As without means and ammunition for hunt
ing, they were unable to sustain themselves
upon their reservation. The delay of the de-
partment in furnishing their supplies to the
starving White River Utes, and the notice given
in two successive annual reports by Indian
Commissioner Hayt that he proposed their re-
moval to Indian Territory, without making
any mention of any proposition to compensate
them for their lands.
