SCOTT, WITH PIUTES,
NEARING SALT LAKE
General Says Indians Trusted Him
and He Didn't Hurry
Matters.

BLUFF. Utah. March 23.-Gen. Hugh
L. SCOTS party. escorting the recently
surrendered Piute Indian ringleaders,
have reached Thompson, where they
will board a train for Salt Lake early
tomorrow.
General Scott loath to discuss his
success. finally consented to give this
statement:
II can only say ! am glad that
succeeded in quieting this affair so
easily. There is no use in trying to
hurry Indians.
MY policy is first TO make the In
dians thoroughly familiar with my
terms, and when that is accomplished
broach the question: What will you
do?' After my arrival at Mexican Hat
| hunted up Mikes Boy. or Bizo-She. a
Navajo Indian. whom ! induced to be
good a year ago last December and
who had confidence in me. l sent him
to find Old Polk and the other hos
tile warriors. lie succeeded in doing
this, and only a short time afterward
twentY-seven Piutes came in toward
Mexican Hat to talk II over with me.
II soon convinced them that | was
their friend and when they realized this
they were not hard to deal with. They
all expressed their willingness to sur
render, considering me their protector.
I'm all my past work among Indians
it has never been necessary for me to
go over the ground twice, and in no in
stance have they broken their promises
to me.
when VIC reach Salt Lake I will turn
the prisoners over to the Federal
authorities. and they will probably be
tried there. Marshal Nebeker and In
dian Agents Creel and Jenkins deserve
a great deal of praise for the way they
handled the campaign before ] reached
Bluff. 1T was a serious proposition, and
l am surprised. after viewing the bat

LONDON, March 23.-More than A
thousand persons are now employed in
censoring news and letters entering and
leaving Great Britain, according to a
statement by the government in reply
to a question by Viscount Bryce in the
house of lords.
The government spokesman said the
censorship aimed to prevent the circu-
laticn of information valuable to the
enemy. and to prevent the circulation of
false reports or reports which would
be inimical to the successful prosecu-
ton of the war.
There was no censorship of foreign
newspapers coming into England. ex-
