Senator Schurz has received two dis
patches from General Hatch, written at
Cliue's ranch on the Goth and 3Oth OF Deccm
Der. One informs the Secretary for the first
time that among the Indians who offered To
surrender on the 25th inst. but whose surren-
der was not received, were Douglass, the hos.
tiles chief, and several other principals in the
Meeker massacre. The last sentence of the
other dispatch seems to indicate that after
Gen. Hat h refused to receive the surrender
of these Indians, they were permitted to 90 to
the lower Grande river 10 hunt for game and
that they are not likely to DC found again for
month. Secretary SchurZ entertainS con-
siderable doubt as to this being the real
meaning of the dispatch as sent, and has tele-
graphed for explicit information. Cline's
ranch is ten miles nearer than Los PinOs to
the White River agency and twenty five miles
nearer Lake City. 1t is inferred Gen. Hatch
and party do not consider themselves in dam
ger and these dispatches do not express any
apprehension Of that kind.
