Ora, San Aaatonio: Had all ready to cross
the Talurrow in support of Bulls and Hunt
this A. N. Att2 o'clock Bulls came in
alone, having ridden one hundred and forty
miles in thirty-six hours. Bulls, in coming
down from Davis, struck the trail OF the
Indians from Gillespie county, halfway be-
tween the Recus and Rio Grande. just
before night on the Goth OF June, and only
three or four hours behind them he fol-
lowed to the Rio Grande and crossed the
river, drowning two Of his horses. and on
the third day came on them while they were
resting. He attacked them at once. The
Indians retreated to. a mountain, fighting.
After an engagement Of an hour they all
managed to escape. None OF them. were
wounded. tl Z" go - -, ~.
Bulls got all Of the horses but two. The
fifty reported by General Clitzt as passing
Print Rock Spring are all accounted for.
Eight left on the trail, and six were, killed
while the rangers were on the trail, and
nine while Bulls was on the trail: Two
were taken away by an Indian and twenty
three captured by Bulls. He also found at
the camp, parts Of the harness taken from
johnson on the Nueces, showing that the
same band had scattered after the affair and
got with the party raiding in Gillespie
county, probably joining them in Mexico,
as they went out ten days ago. Bulls reports
the Indians as Lipans, and that he saw no
signs to indicate that they were near their
village. This is likely near some OF
the towns. I have ordered the companies
to stop rs they are until your orders are re-
ceiyed. The trail followed by Bulls is the
only plain trail that we know has been lately
crossed, and as the Indians who made 1t
b,,.o hoop oo,1pbt T Will ro on without FIR.
Their orders, as Lieutenant Bulls reports it
impossible to follow the trail where he
struck them, and, scouting on. the other
would have to be for the Indian camp or
anything that might turn up.
Signedl SKATER, Lieutenant-Colonel.

PORTLAND, OREGON, July "a dispatch
from Lewiston July 6, ria Walla-Walla to-
day, says: "A courier Just from Colonel
Perry, en- route for General Howard, with
pack-train and escort Of thirty men, says
there was an attack on the 4th; ten soldiers
and two citizens were killed. Captain
Whpple, in command at Cottonwood, came
to the rescue and repulsed the Indians.
The Indians are in force around Colonel
Perry and Captain Whipple, who have only
force enough for their defence. The route
is unsafe to Cottonwood. 1t is bold stroke
of Joseph and his band, and it is reported
by signal to the Indians North and East,
and will stir them upto the offensive Par
ties just from the Spokone country report
that all the settlers except five men between
Spokone, Lower Bridge, and Palouze Land
ing have left their homes and fed to Walla-
Walla. The Indians have destroyed some
fields and gardens.
