tions with the Government; nor lave tliey any reservation sct apart for them. Efforts were made some years ago to have them, with the Utes referred to, remove to the large Ute Reservation in Colorado, but without success. The Cimarron Agency, however, as lately been discontinued; and these A paches will, if it can be effected witliout actual condict, be removed to tlie Mescalero Ageney at Fort Stanton. Four lhundred Jicarilla Apaches are also reported as being at the Tierra Amarilla Ageney

Muache, Weeminuche, and Capote Utes.-These bande-the Mu- ache band, numbering about 650, horetofore at the Cimarron Ageney, and the other two bands, nunbering 870, at the Abiquiu Agency-are all parties to the treaty made with the several bands of Utes in 1868. It has boen desired to have these Indians re- move to their proper reservation in Colorado; but ull cfforts to this end lave thns far proved futilc. The discontinuance of the Cimarron Agency may haye the effect to cause the Mnaches to remove either to that reservation or to the Abiquiu Agency, now locatcd at Tierra Amarilla, in the north-western part of the ter- ritory. These three bands have generally been peaccable, and friendly to the whites. Recently, however, soue of them lave shown a disnosition to be troublesome; but no serious difficulty is apprehended. None of them appcar disposed to work for a subsistence, preferring to live by the chase and on the bounty of the Government; nor do they show any inclination or desire to have their ehildren cducated, and taught the habits and customs of civilized life. Declining to remove to and locate permanently upon the reservation set apart for the Utes in Colorado, they re- ecive no annuities, and participate in none of the beuctits pro- vided in the treaties of 1863 and 1868 with the several bands of Ute Indiaus referred to under the head of Colorado."

Pueblos-The Pueblos, so naucd beeause they live in villages, number 7683. They have 439,064 acres of land confirmed to them by Act of Congress of December 22d, 1858, the same con- sisting of approved claims nder old Spanish grants. They have no treaty with the United States, and receiye but litile aid from the Government. During tlhe past two years efforts have ben made, and are still being continued, to secure the establishment of schools in all the villages of the Pucblos, for the instruction of their clildren in the Englislı language. Five suclh sclhools are now being conducted for their benefit.

The history of the Pueblos is an interesting one. They are the remains of a once powerful people, and in habits and modes of
