Show . - THE IfES. Au Iuclinn War Feared fu Col-oruilu Col-oruilu aud ,cw Jlexico. Leavenworth, Ks., 5. Reports ro-ceived ro-ceived here indicate that there are fears of a general uprising among the Ute Indians in Colorado, as the warriors war-riors of that tribe have been for some time in a doubtful attitude, and some fear of an outbreak has been felt in : New Mexico. The Indians of that section have made several warlike demonstrations and have collided with the United States troops more than once. From information received re-ceived from New Mexico, it is extremely ex-tremely probable that the red devils will indulge in a general insurrection as soon as opportunity offers, as they are, without doubt, one of the most treacherous tribes on the continent. Sherifl Hichard Giles of La Platte county, telegraphs from Parrott city to George Koutt, asking for assistance, assist-ance, saying that the Utes number full 2,000, and are about to make a raid. Colonel Hatch, commanding the New Mexico district, also telegraphed to Governor Routt from Santa Fe, if he would so authorize him he would issue arms to tho citizens, as the inhabitants in-habitants of La Platte, L;ts Animas and Parrott city, were afraid of an immediate im-mediate outbreak. Governor Routt telegraphed General Pope at Fort Leavenworth, informing him of the state of aflairs, and asking him to authorize au-thorize Colonel Hatch to issue arms to citizens, but received a reply to the efiect that only the president could authorize him to do so. General Pope, however, stated that- Odunel Hatch had enn"1" trooPii at Forta Union- -jugate and Garland to suppress sup-press an' outbreak, should ono occur. 1 This is the way the matter stands at! present. i |
