HOSTILE INDIANS.
Moro Tribes on the War PaIh...
Additional Murders.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3O.-A Portland
press dispatch gives the latest reports
from the scene Of the Indian outbreak
The tribe known as the River Snakes
killed John Richie, Of Mount Idaho. The
Cnur de AlleneS, who have thus far
strictly observed their promises Of good
behavior, are reported in pursuit OF The
murderers.
It is reported that the. Clearwater In
diaus, under Looking Glass, had turned
loose and plundered George Dempster'l
place, between the middle and south
forks OF the Clearwater, and driven of
all the stock Of the settlers found between
these forks, and had it at their camr
shout six miles above. This confirms
John Kaniahs statement made in the
Indian council, yesterday, at Lapwai, as
TO the purposes Of Looking Glass and hi.
forty men. The Indians told two China
men, on Clearwater, that they had de,
clared war against the whites, and would
commence their raids on the inhabitants
within two days.
When this news reached Fort Idaho n
force Of twenty volunteers started i'm,
medlately for Clearwater, but no news
has come from them yet. Gen. Howard
was notified, and said he would send q
detachment OF regulars to Rcour the coun.
try in that direction.
This morning volunteers who were in
the fight on White Bird, saw an Indian
who went as one Of the friendly Indians
with Colonel Perry, from Lapwai, beckon
the hosLiles forward in the fight, and saw
other movements OF some Of the friendly
Indians evincing their privacy with thC
hostiles during tho fight,
There ia n report, which lacks cOnfir.
nation, that General Howard had attack,
ed Joseph and dislodged him from the
Horseshoe Bridge.
A Boise City dispatch mentions the
presence OF hostiles in Weiser Valley
The settlers are leaving the place fol
safety. The grain fields, orchards and
gardens are abandoned, and are being
destroyed by stock.
INDIANS IN STRONG POSITION.
A press dispatch from Boise City saw
small force on the Weiser, composed o.
Captain Bennler's command Of iorty.fivC
men, and thirty Idaho Volunteers, under
Captain Robbins, can not move north
ward TO any purpose until the arrival o.
the troops expected from the South.
The position OF the Indians, which 10 OF
the south side Of the Salmon river, is thC
strongest and most favorable for theil
mode OF warfare that could be imagined
It is full OF natural obstacles 10 the ap
proach Of the troops, and affords ample
scope to the Indians 10 remain and fgh
or retreat, as they may see ct. III,
troops may cross the river under Ii,
cover Of artillery, but when across they
will have to stop, for there are monntatni
to climb and rocky cannons to cross Il
get at the Indians. Without suticien
force from this side to cooperate witt
General Howard, 1t is difficult to see how
he can hold the Indians to an engagement
or do anything etIectual against them.
1t is now believed here that the hos.
tiles will come this way, but there is M
adequate force yet here to prevent them
II they should SO determine,
