Secretary sehurz ON Pending Ute Ques-
tions.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Secretary Schurz
said to-day: 1T has never been held by
| the department of the interior that if any
individual member ofthe Ute nation com
mitted crime that the whole nation
should be held responsible and punished
therefor; but under provisions of the
| treaty of 1868 if certain offences are com
| mitte1 by the Utes against the whites, the
Ute nation is bound to surrender the
offenders, and this fact is fully recognized
| by Ouray. If peaceful settlement can be
made with the Utes there is no one in the
department that desires to deprive them
oftheir reservation without allowing them
| the most liberal compensation. 1t is
| thought by some members of the Ute del
| egation now in this city that good many
Indians will be willing to settle down in
severalty upon agricultural lands on their
present reservation and yield the balance
of the land TO the government, and that
those who will not do this will go
| peac eably to the Unitah reservation" In
| some further remarks the Secretary said

ward settling the present difficulties with.
out an Indian war and without doing in,
