The Indian Situation.
WASHINGTON. July Gen
eral Drum has received a report from Gen
eral Augur, at Fort Leavenworth June 26th
in regard to the reported outbreak of the
Ute Indians in Colorado. General Augur
says Carlisle, from whom the most sensa-
tlonal telegrams came about the Indians is
agent Of an English cattle syndicate, one of
whom, it is affirmed, is an American citi-
zen, or intends to be. He is also informed
that the syndicate does not own the land
upon which the cattle range and that it is
public land. General Augur inclosed ex-
tracts from the Rocky Mountain Ne,es, of
Denver, which say that the stories of the
Ute troubles if not entirely without founda-
ton, are grossly exaggerated. Possibly
there has been some trouble, the General
thinks, but there is every reason to believe
that it has been brought on by cowboys,
who have been spelling for q fight for some
time, and probably resolved TO shoot all In j.,
dians found away from the reservation
The report that whites and Indians had
been killed lacks confirmation.
THE INDIANS SHOULD BE FED.
WASHINGTON, July 3d.-The following
telegram relative to the Ute Indians was
received at the War Department this after
noon, from General Schofield; General
Anger telegraphs the following from Colo
mel Bradley Colonel Swain telegraphs
that the Ute chiefs promise not to make
any more reprisals for the killing of the
Ute family on the Dolores. He says full
rations should be issued Immediately to
those Indians, TO prevent their leaving their
reservation TO hunt. invite attention to
the immediate necessity for feeding these
Indians, so as to prevent them leaving
their reservation. 1t is impossible to
prevent trouble between them and the cow
boys, if they leave their reservation to
hunt. -
VIEWS OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAE AZ
FAIRS.
WAsHINGToN. July 3d.-Ex-Delegate
Ouray, Of Arizona, and Hughes of that
Territory, called upon the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs to-day to urge the disarm-
ing of the Indians of the San Carlos reserv-
alton in Arizona. They expressed the
belief that this measure, if adopted, would
prevent conflict that seemed to be i'm
pending between the Indians now on the
reservation ana the white settlers. Com
missioner Atkins met the request with the
proposition that the cowboys also be dis
armed, and then proceeded to expound his
views upon the Indian question at some
length. He said he failed to see any reason
why the cowboys should carry arms when
the Indians were diSarmed, and added that
it was entirely improper for any person
white, black or red-to be permitted to
ride around the country with a Winchester
rifle and army revolver, free to shoot any
one on sight.
Another Comfortable Day for Gen. Grant.
MOUNT MCGREGoR q. ", July 3D.
General Grant required little attention of
the doctor last night. During the twelve
hours from 9 o'clock last night until 9
o'clock this morning the patient slept fully
eight hours. He aroused shortly before 8
o'clock this morning and announced his
intention Of being dressed at once This
was done, and before 10 o'clock the General
was ready to go out on the piazza. which
he did. He strolled the length of the cot
tage on the yeranda, and then sat in his
chair. The clouds had gone and the sun
shine was warm and grateful The Cen
erals movements are frmer this morning
His strength seems greater than at the
beginning of the week, and there are to-
day those in the family who have firm be-
lief that the General may live until autumn
Those near to the patient feel to-day not a
little encouraged.
