General o. o. Howard, in command of the
Department of Oregon, lately arrived in
Washington TO endeavor to adjust some diff.
ficulty with the Nee Perces Indians, which
threatens to result in general Indian war
on that frontier. These Indians claim that
the promise made to them by the Modoc
Peace Commissioners, Meachani, TO the effect
that certain valley, with its salmon fisher.
les, should be reserved to them, free from
white men, has been broken. Through the
influence OF the Governor of Oregon and the
late Secretary Delano this valley was opened
TO settlement. The whites have crowded in
there, and have threatened to drive out the
Indians, and one Indian has recently been
murdered by the white men, and both par
ties are now arming. General Howard is of
the opinion that commission of civilians
and army officers could adjust the entire
difficulty and prevent q war, which would
cost the government at least ten million dob
lars. The Interior Department authorities
seem to approve of General Howard's plan,
and it has been submitted to the Adjutant.
General of the army.
