gresS to he paid to the Ues has been paid over to
them, each Indian receiving his share That Dor
tiOn of the annual interest due the Southern Utes
amounting to about $1,000. has not yet reached
them. The delay is due to the fact that when 1t
became due the agent for the Southern Utes had re-
signed and the new agents arrival has not yet been
reported TO the Department.. The money will he
forwarded as soon as the new agent reaches his
post
story is told by the Commissioners who dis
tr butcd the first money to the Utes, which illus
trates the case with which Indians can be deceived.
Some mischievous whites had told the Indians that
there was a deep well under the house where they

ANGLO-FRENCH DESIGNS on EGYPT.

unless they desire TO show unfrendIness.
There is not vet an entire agreement as to details,
but it is thought that in the improbable event of
interference becoming necessary, from 5000 to
5000 men. partly Indian troops and partly French
marlnes will be sufficient and such composition of
force shows that permanent occupation is not in
tended
