DISPATCH FROM GEN. HATCH to Secretary
Schluz, dated Alamosa, Col, Jan. 8, says
1.-The White River Utes who were with Ouray
on the oath are not in his power. Neither have
they been since the 26th The Indians sent out
by way of Saguache are Ouray and Wash
Charlie Uncompahgrees; Jack Sowerwick and
Uncle Sam Charlie, White River Utes, and To-
Aguila and Buckskin Charlie, of the Muaches.
They are expected here on the 5th. Ouray was
requested to keep the Indians you refer TO, bat
had not the power. | am of the opinion that
the Indians, when assured by yourself that
there is no other way to avoid destruction, will
decide to turn over the prisoners. The promise
made by them that they will turn over those
demanded should be insisted upon to the last
man. AS long as these Indians are in our hands
the agency at Los Pinos is secure Ouray came
out at his own request and brought his wife
with him. think it advisable to have them all
before YOU at Washington, or such point as you
may designate
Hon. FERNANDO WOOD says he has nearly
completed his refunding bill, and expects to in
tTOduce it shortly. He feels confident that the
Secretary of the Treasury will have no difficulty
in refunding the five and six per cent. bonds
which mature in 1881 with bonds bearing rate
of interest not exceeding three and half per
cent. He says just as the accomplished fact has
upset the theories and disproyed the assertions
OF those who cOntended that specie payments
could not be resumed in 1879 so will the sue
cesSful placing OF our bonds establish the fact
beyond cavil that this government can borrow
money on as favorable terms as England or any
other country. 1t only requires the experiment
of putting the bonds upon the market and adj
ded Air. Wood jokingly, 1.-The Secretary seems
rather incliningly to the three and a half per
cent. bond, Judging by his recent circular, in
which he proposes TO purchase five millions of
government bonds at rates which place the in
tereSt at not above three and Il half per cent
\ REMARKABLE INCREASE in the amount of
money transmitted from this country TO Great
Britain, Ireland and Germany, through the
international money-order system, is shown by
the accounts OF the Post Office department:
The amount OF orders issued in the United
States for payment in Great Britain and Ireland
during the quarter ended December 31sr, 1873,
was e5I,0I6; during the quarter ended Dec. 81
1879 gS9, $685. amount OF orders issued for pay
Eent in the German Empire during the last
quarter OF the year. 1875 991 ,146 marks about "a
cents each); during the quarter ended Dec. 31st,
money orders issued in Great Britain and Ire
land during the last quarter was about e2l,O0o,
and the money order drafts from Germany for
the same period was about 200 marks. 1t is
believed the balances will continue to be heavily
against us so long as the present tide of pros
perity in this country lasts. The foregoing
fgures are especially noticeable, in view OF the
distinction between the ordinary purpose for
which domestic money orders are sent, viz: for
small purchases-and the purpose for which
international money orders are generally OBJ
tanned in this country-i. e., to make family
remittances"-to relieve the immediate distress
OF relatives in Europe or 10 bring them hither.
These remittanceS are made principally by the
very poorest classes, as no ordercan exceed $50,
and the average does not exceed S25 in amount.
The large increase above noted appears, there
fore, TO be another reflex OF the existing pros
perity Of the United States in contrast with the
suffering in Europe, and seems, Also to fore
shadow stiil further augmentation, at an
carly date, of the already rapidly increasing
volume OF European immigration.
