Donver, Col., 19 --A special to the Tribune from Los Pines, tUtod the 18th: The commission now consisting of Cenoral Hatch and Lieutenant Valers, is patiently awaiting the nrrival of tho I prisoners. Nothing bus boon hfftrd from Ouray since his departure for the camp of the White River Utcs on the loth inst. Ho loft confident of his ability to secure the prisoners and return to tho agency bv tho 21st inst. There is a strong war feeling feel-ing existing among both the Uncom-paghrc Uncom-paghrc and White ltiver Utcs, which may yol prevent tho surrender of the parties demanded. The reoorted conversation between a New York World reporter and General McCook of General Sherman's stall", in which he says that if ho bad been there ho would bavo taken tho lnd nns prisoners without wailing any longer, is decidedly amusing, when tho situation of ftil'-.irs at the lime alluded to is takoa into consideration. A question arises, which, perhaps, the distinguished officer can answer. J here tiro fevontcen white muu, commission and escort, in a log building with twenty five armed Icdi ins, tho building surrounded by over 00 more, by what military stratagem would Gonoral McCook have surrounded the Indians and taken twelve of their number num-ber pri oner? |
