THE IDAHO INDIAN WAR.
Reports of piuse Hostility Denied.

Washington, July 2.-Gen. Sherman
has received from Gen. Mcdowell a
dispatch e~mbodying a telegram to the
latter from Natchez, the Piute chief at
Winnemucca Nevada), stating that
there is no truth in the reports of
Piute hostility, and requesting trans
portation for himself and other chiefs
to talk with Gen. Mcdowell in San
Francisco. To this the general replied
that he had not believed the reports.
and that his officers, Major Sanford and
Captain Sumner, would be at Winnie
mucca the next day and talk with them
there.
Portland, July "A gentlemen vino
arrived here to-day from Yakima City,
Wash. Ter, brings information that
the people of that region are very much
alarmed, as some Indians belonging to
the Simcoe reservation have grown
quite impudent.
On the eth ult., two Indians came
down from the Spokane country and
told the Indians in Kittassind, Simcoe
valley, to get out from among the
whites, that there were 500 war riors in
that country who were about to make
n descent on the settlement, and they
did not want to kill any but "Bostons,"
meaning the whites. This news came
from an Indian squaw who is living
there and is friendly to the whites.
This report threw the citizens i'll an eX-
element little short of frenzy. That
night nearly all the citizens collected
with their families and bedding IN Cen
tennial Hall and remained there until
the next day. On the 2Sth, a session
of the board of county commissioners
was held and a requisition for 200
stand of arms was made and forwarded
to Dalles by special messenger, who
left there that same night.
Several bands of armed Indians have
left the reservation to join Joseph's
band, and talk of going.
Steps have been taken to stockade a
portion of Yakim City.
Col. Wood received Il dispatch to-day
from Gen. Howard, in camp on Salmon
river, June 30th, via Lewiston. The

noissance to ascertain if any Indians,

England Entering the Arena.

London, July st is certainly true
that war preparations are going on
continually, though quietly, in Eng
land. There are already 10000 British
soldiers ut Malta and Gibraltcr, and
more are being shipped daily.
Mr.. Grant Duff has contributed a
paper to the 10Th Century, on the East
ern difficulties, which represents very
nearly the conservative feeling. He
divides Englishmen into three classes,
one slenderly represented in the House
of Commons, but morelarge Fly represent
ed by the peers, who would not be sor-
ny to have to go to war for Turkey;
another party more largely represented
in the House of Commons, would be
delighted to join with Russia for the
coercion of Turkey in the interests of
its Christian inhabitants; the vast ma
iority, however, of Englishmen are
represented by the majority ON both
sides of the House of Commons. This
party is DESTROYS, in the present phase
of the dispute, to be absolutely neutral
between Russia and Turkey, but are
prepared at the same time to push IN
t%ervention even to wal if British inter
ests are threatened.

Robeson's Repubiicanism.


Trenton, July 3.-The public dinner
last evening to Geo. NJ. Robson, eX-
Secretary of the Navy, was a grand
affair. SenatorsJames G.. Blaine, was
among the company. Hon. Thomas n.
McCarter presided, and announced
that the banquet was a social affair to
give an opportunity to welcome back to
New York an old friend. Robson
spoke principally in defence of his ad-
ministration of the navy, and insisted
that its condition ROW was better than
ever before. The administration of
which he was lately a part was defend
ed by him, whose acts history
would defend, the head, of which
had spent his life in answering adverse
criticism, by uniform good conduct.
This occasion has no political signifi-
canoe, he vas not a candidate for office,
he was a party man, and believed in
the party for political purposes. Blaine
defended Repubiicanism as national,
especially as it was administered by
Gen. Grant. The protection of rights
of citizenship in every state was its
cardinal feature, and a government
that did not offer protection to every
citizen in every state had no right ia
demand allegiance.
