A WASHINGTON dispatch of the 23d
represents Secretary Schurz as saying: "a
certain degree of secrecy is necessary in the
Ute investigation, but Ouray is in no
sense prisoner. In the opinion of Ouray,
as we'll as myself, several things are to be ac-
complished by the present negotiations: l.
To have treaty provisions about the su"ren-
der of offenders carried out, so that the
participants in the White River murders can
be tried. g. To make such arrangement
with the Utes as will avert from them
the injuries that are threatened to
be inflicted upon them by the border popu-
lation of Colorado, and which certainly
would come if the present boundaries of the
reservation were preserved. This accom-
plished, the present difficulties will pass
over without an Indian war, which will be a
great benefit to the country generally. 3.
To secure for them full compensation for
every piece of land they may cede to the
United States, and a safe and advantageous
settlement for the future.''
