SAN Francisco, July 20 A private despatch
from Capt. Rabbit, dated Fort Lapwai, July II,
says:
"Snce the rough handling which Joseph and
White Bird received from Howard, the war seems
virtually ended. The Indians are badly whipped
thoroughly demoralized and are said to be quar-
relng among themselves. Small parties are con-
stanty breaking away from the main band. and

the purpose of equlppng new column, merely
for observation in Spokane county. Gov. Chad
wick sent despatch to- day 10 the President, ask
ing him TO suspend the order recently issued to
Major Cannon, Indian agent, to gather the In
dians into Amatilla reservation The Indians who
peaceful declare they will fight # the order is
carried into effect.
\ despatch from Towards camp, the 18th. saws
that on the 10Th Red Heart, the Nez Perces chief
with sixteen warriors from Josephs and Looking
Glass bands, with twenty three women and chill
dren, surrendered themselves to Howard They
were made prisoners and were told that murder
ers of white men and ouuagers of women must be
punished.
All the men that Howard could mount were
sent in pursuit of the fleeing nostiles. They were
about twenty hours ahead of the troops The
prisoners say Joseph's men are getting short of
ammunition; that Joseph and White Bird had
quarlclled, and would be likely to separate the r
forces.
Joseph did not surrender as DC proposed to do
but instead started for the buffalo country, with
other hostile chiefs. The prisoners had but two
guns, and no ammunition or supplies. 1t is
thought this party who surrendered got separated
from Joseph, and were left without horses, arms
and supplies and therefore were compelled TO sur
render.

he was chosen s-cctman. and from that time till
seven years since he has held office in town, with
the exception of three or four years. and never in

CNCONFiRMED REPORT OF As

NEW YORK, July 20. A correspondent at H.
kan teegraphs rumors current OF the existence OF
strong divergence of opinion between the Gar
and Grand Duke Nicholas. The former favors
peace, while the latter insists upon taking Con
stantinople.
The fourth Russian army corps under Lieuten-
ant Gen. /oloif, which recently arrived at Buchar-
est, will not cross the Danube, bat proceed to Gil
urgevo, at present, returning to Russia immedi-
ately after the capture of Rustchuk. The fall OF
this town will indicate the termination of war; be-
ing the last concession made by the Gar to the
troops. The same corps has already received Off
cial ntimaton of their early return to Russia.
Mukverth formerly Russian consul at Coastan-
tinope, offers to wager large amount that he
shortly resumes the former functions at Constanti-
nople.
a cable despatch says there is a reign of terror
in Constantinople, and the country lying between
that city and Atrianople is detcnceless. The
Christian population is unarmcd, and fear mas
sacre by Turkish irreguars.
Another party headed by General Ignatieff and
Prince Icheikasski, urge definite settlement OF
the Eastern question, to be dictated IN CONSTANT
nople The conditions already determined upon
by this party are the cession of kars, Batoum and
portion of Beasekevi; the Daidenelles to be Ell

ent.
Those who know exactly the state Of things, say
the supreme hour for the attempt at mediation has
arrived, and when once Rustchuk is in Russlas
hands, it will be too late TO influence the Gar in
pacific sense.
LONDON, July 20. A despatch from Povlo says
the Czarowitch's headquarters crossed the Yantra
Wednesday, IN preparation for an advance en- the
River LON and the investment of Rustchuk. Halt
OF the fourth corps, numbering probably $500
men, will cross the Danube and advance toward
the Balkans. The fifth division of the ninth corps
goes to Tirnova, and VIII also form part of the
Balkans advance.

A letter from Paris says it is now known be-
yond all doubt that out OF two parties at the Car
headquarters, the one headed by Prince Gortscha-
koh desires matters not TO be pushed to extremes,
but that after substantial success Russia should
be satisfied with imposing under European guar
