Mount Idaho.
CALL FOR TROOPS.

SAN Francisco, June l5 Intelligence from
Lieutenant Wilkinson. now at Wallula, conveys
the startling news Of the uprising Of Indians, and
states that they were numbering whites at Mount
Idaho, sixty miles from Lewiston. He asked to
have boat dispatched at once from Wslls Walla
to convey soldiers to Lewiston, The order has
been complied With, and all available troops al
Walla Walla will be dispatched at once to the
scene Of the difficulty.
Another dispatch says several settlers living on
Cottonwood creek have been massacred BY the In
dians, and the messenger who brought the news
was entrapped and wounded by ssvsges. Gener-
al Howard, who is beyond Walla Walla, has just
telegraphed to Adjutant General Wood in this
city, TO forward all the available troops without
delay to the scene of the trouble. Great excite
ment prevails. 1t is, however, thought the reports
are exaggerated.
