HIS OFFER OF SURRENDER AN "INDIAN
GIFT"
The following is the full text of the de-
spatch from General Howard, part of which
was printed in yesterdays STAR:
CAMP MACBETH HANNAH July Is $50 u

reached me stating that Joseph wished To
make proposals OF surrender, L return Il q,
leavii my column 10 proceed TO a convel-
ent hating place, ana / have some ne d.
~ tIailUns. i noticed by dust arising tina
The L dams were in motion tOwarts som 2
p. ut had hoped 70 reach. changed my
plan, bringing In all but an observing force
10 cross AT this point. Joseph has promised
TO break away from While Bird and give
himself up to morrow. He said he Was forced
TO move 10 day. The indications are that
they have but little ammunition or food, and
that they had sustained large losses ofevery-
thing in their hurried crossing OF the river
band breaking up, and shall pursue them
little further with vigOr.
A later despatch says that Joseph's move
ments subseq ue ut to his prOpO jition 10 Gen.
Howard 10 surrender, have convinced Gen
Howard that the proposition was merely a
ruse TO gain time for the escape Of his force.
IN OFFENCE OF CAPTAIN PERRY.
Aide de camp Keller has sent a dispatch
to Gen. Mcdowell, San Francisco, saying
The statement In local paper OF the affair
In Cottonwood on the 5th instant, To the effect
d citizens surrounded
ard the troops under Col. Perry refused to
go 10 their relief for an hodr aud half Is a
wickt q falsificatlOn. The troops, lib in num-
Der, were themselves Outnumbered, envi-
roned and attacked by the Indians, bat, new
eflheless, were sent instantly mile away
to The rescue, which was accom- pl shell with n
70 minutes, and not only was the life OF every
nan IN the command risked, but The safety
OF most important position and large
amount OF ammunition and other stores.
The accounts ubl shed originated with one
Orrin Morrill, of Lewiston, who was at Cot
oLwOCd at the time, but who, aithOugn
aimed, remained ensconced in the lit lie
foI lf1catiOn there, instead OF going with the
soldiers TO the aid OF his imperiled fellow
citizens. O;Eer citizens who were present
agree with the officers in this statement Of
facts. TIE conduct of the officers and men,
under the most trying circumstances, has
been particularly good. They have Justified
all reasonable expectations. The campaign
has been successful"
