REPORT OF SOUTHERN UTE AGENCY. ~OUTHEXUNT E AGENCY, Ignaoio, CO~OS.,e ptenLbw 15, 1895. SIR! Ihave thohonorto submit my secondannu&lrreport, delay in forwarding being occasioned by attention to allotments of landa and knowledge of the vast number of reports that have been sent from and regarding this agency from opening of Utah-Ute inrrsion in November last to date. The census having been forwarded and location committed to memory through aid of Associated Press and freqnent visits of the Assistant Commissioner, inspector, and others intorested in Indian welfare, I will omit the nsnal stereotyped opening and brief such matters as will necess%rily have t,a be pasned upon. Condition.-The Utes ere largely blanket Indians. The Weatern or Weminuohe tribe, under leadership of Chiefs Ignacio end Mariano and their subohiefa, appose aohools and thrming, and aro about all in the blanket, and while the Monche nod Capote Utes are far more deserving, yet they do not take kindly to edooational affairs. But as the l aws of Colarndo provide for comp~~l soreydn oation, thei r accept-ance of citizenship will no doubt result in more gratifying educational conditions. We now hsve180in citizen dress, f i ~ l l a n d i n p a r(tv est andpants) ,as a ainst less t h a n half a dozen in 1893. The boy% however, are severe on clothing, an% as. the allow-ance is meagarthey driftback intoleggings a11d blanketsduriugthe summer months.
