The Threatened Raid ON Ute Lands.


No additional orders to carry out the Cabinet
decision yesterday about the Ute reservation
is necessary. The troops In the vicinity have
similar orders to those available for the Indian
territory. These orders are to keep out inva-
ders, and, II necessary, to change stations to
that end. The troops available for the purpose
Of preventing the Invasion CT Ute lands by
miners and sQuatters are those under Colonel
Hatch. In New Mexico. which have been after
Victoria; thOte at White river agency; the de-
tachment of the 18th infantry, at Fort Lewis.
Col; detachments OF the 10th and 18th infantry
at Fort Garland, Col, and detachment of the
the 18th infantry at Fort Lyon, Colorado. This
will make three columns operating from differ
ent forts from New Mexico, from the White
River agency and MackenZie.s column from the
different points indicated above. The War de.
partment has no doubt of the ability of these
troops to keep all unauthorized persons from
the Ute reservation. The offcers on duty at
the department do not think that the reported
invasion is OF near such proportions as reported
IN the press and Interior department dispatches.
