TIE LOWERING CASE.
Only Recourse is to Approve Sem
tence of Court Martial


Washington, Nov. 3O.-Secretary Al
ger has received from Lieutenant
Colonel Hunter, judge advocate of the
court-martiaI in the case of Captain
Leonard A Lowering, Fourth Infantry,
the record of the proceedings and the
findings of the court. The secretary
admits that the officer has been found
guilty of ill-treating Private Ham
mond at Fort Sheridan, and has been
sentenced to be reprimanded by the
secretary Of war.
Secretary Alger took the papers over
to the cabinet meeting today and they
were discussed 1t is understood that
the proceedings will be approved by
the department and that the reprimand
VIII be administered through publica-
ton in official orders. 1t is understood
the reprimand will be severe.
A new trial cannot be ordered, and
if the department disapproved of the
sentence on the ground that it is too
lenient, the effect would be to release
the officer from any punishment, so
the only recourse is to approve the
sentence.
Late this afternoon Secretary Alger
stated that he had decided to approve
the sentence Of the court, although it
may be some days before the papers
reach him, having first to go to the
judge advocate general of the war de-
partment and then to General Miles
for his endorsement.

Il am glad he said that the jury did
not disagree. l would rather have them
give verdict of murder in the first de-

a verdict in any other degree. 1 wanted
either an acquittal or a verdict in the first
degree. l wish to deny he continued,
that 1 confessed to anybody after the
giving Of the verdict, that Mrs. Mack S
story was the correct one. Everything
happened just as I told it on the stand
He showed a trace of feeling when Mrs.
Mack was referred to-

CLAIMs AGAINST uFEs.
Randlett's Report on the Status of
Affairs.

Washington Nov. 80 = Lieutenant
Colonel Randlett, acting Indian agent at
the Uintah and Ouray agency, in his
annual report to the interior department,
says official information from the de-
partment of justice shows that more than
600 depreciation claims, amounting to more
than q million dollars, have been filed
against the Ute Indians in the United
States court of claims, and the suits in
stigated in such manner as to hold
either of the confederated bands equally
responsible for the alleged depredations
The provision of the government for
counsel to defend these cases is stated to
be Inadequate and the southern Utes Of
Colorado have united with the Uncom-
pahgres, Uintahs and White Rivers of
Utah. in contracting for additional
counsel.
The agent alleges that without doubt
nearly all these claims are fraudulent
and that these Indians also have just
claims against the United States that
should be, adjusted: 1t is claimed that
there are large bodies of land in Colorado
that they have relinquished their rights
in on condition that it should be sold and
the proceeds accrue to their benefit; that
no credits have been made to them from
such sales, and that most of these lands
have been set aside by executive orders
for public parks. for which if so re-
tanned, it is urged they should be paid.

that by the beginning of the next fiscal

demands of the government He also
stated his belief to be that the coming

White Rocks, Utah, Nov. 9O.-It viii be
unnecessary to write the second chapter
of the Indian troubles in Colorado this
season. because today the six Uintahs
and one White River Indian who sneaked
away from the reservation last Tuesday,
are returning home under the escort of
Indian police. A messenger brought in
the news of their capture and they are
looked for at the White Rocks agency
tomorrow.
The police, under Captain Woods. over
took Game and his party just after they
had crossed the Colorado line. When the
demand was made that they return some
his party, but their anger cooled down,
when they saw the uselessness of going
further with the police watching them.
They were told that if they resisted a
messenger would be sent after the troops.
After sulking a few hours, the party
started back with the police.
