Show THE UNRULY TJTES The Determination Scents to be to Force Them into a Mar New York lSuns Washington A determined effort is being made to cause the administration to declare war against the Ute in advance of definite information of the results of the labors of tho peace commission Army officers from the beginning have ridiculed the efforts which hive been made to obtain tbe peaceable surrender of the Indians engaged in tbo Meeker massacre Sherman Sher-man believes that the only way to deal with the troublesome Indians is to kill them regardless of whethjr their treay rights have been trampclled upon or not The people of Colorado arc anxious to occupy tbe valuable mineral lands owned by the Utej and the press dispatches tent from Denver concerning the Tits troubles are designed to create public set timent against tbe Indians The proofs of this is the fact that official dispatches received at the interior department from gents of government and members of the Ute commission contain nothing calculated calcu-lated to excite apprehension for the safety of H tch and party whites now supposed sup-posed to ba en route for Lake City JNo information has been received here to indicate that the labors of tbe commission have been futile The delays which have occurred in surrendering the hostile Indians In-dians to the commission can be appreciated appre-ciated from the statement made by Congressman Con-gressman Belford of Colorado today in relation to the journey of Hatch and party Belford said it is 120 miles by wagon road find forty miles by trail to Lake ciiy 1 l he snow is twenty feet on tho mountains and for latch to reach Lake city he must crois one of the mountain ranges If ho goes by the wagon road ho can only travel on buck boards From this statement some idea of the difficulty under which tho Indians labor in bringing into camp on foot the murderers of Meeker and the agency attaches can be formed Belford is doing all in his power to cause the removal re-moval of the entire tribe of Utes from Colorado He desires that the sins of a few members of the White River tribe be visited upon all of the Utes in the state The refusal of Congress before adjournment adjourn-ment for tho holiday to pass a resolution which involved a rupture of the treaty stipulations with the Utes is considered indicative of a desire oa the pjrt of tho majority to deal fairly with the tribe The injustice of taking definite steps to ousl the Utes from any portion of their country in advance of a fair hearing of their side cf the question is apparent Carl Schurz is in favor of removing the White River band from Colorado and it is more than likely that if tho tribe refuses re-fuses peacefully to abandon their old homes they will bo compelled to depart by force |
