on December 8, reached that body yesterday.
Tho testimony taken by the Commission,
which has been transmitted by General
Adams, and letter from him concerning

are withheld from motives of public policy.
From the correspondence submitted which has
been In substance given to the public, it ap.

the brutal treatment of tho female prisoners
by Douglass johnson aud others was com
municated to the Secretary of the Interior,

Of Mrs. Meeker's card.
The only matter of interest developed by
the official topics of these dispatches is the
following statement telegraphed by General
Hatch a few days ago in response to the lat
tors inquiry about the apparent misunder.
standing in regard to issuing ratious for the
White River Utos. He says "Tho under.
standing was clear with the Indians that when
they turned over the prisoners they were to
be rationed and their families during their alb
sence. When the Utes made tho agreement
certainly supposed 1t would be kept. 1t is the
only one they have broken with me-"
General Hatch also states in this dispatch
that 1t was evident that the war spirit was in-
creasing among the Indians when lie left the
agency, and for this reason he brought some
chiefs with him to prevent any demonstra-
ton while he was absent.
