A dispatch from Kamia, nth, says:
Five more hostiles with squaws sur
rendered TOT day. Gen. Howard has sent
volunteers to destroy the caches in
Joseph's old camp. Col. Mason is in hot
pursuit of the hostile Indian with his
entire cavalry command, and met them
near Orofino Creek. Two Indian scouts
were wounded and one killed, when the
Indians got demoralizcd and fed, leav-
ing the soldiers in possession of the
field. The country around Orofno Creek
is very rocky and densely wooded, thus
preventing any further pursuit by sol
diers. The hostiles will be met by Crook
or Miles as they enter into Montana from
this trail, and will in all probability be
captured by these forces. The war with
Joseph is practically over, and we start
to-day for Lapway. From there the
troops will march through the Spokone
country for the moral effect it will have
upon the Indians. Col Green's cavalry,
upon its arrival, will be kept here to pre-
vent the return of the hostile Indians
this way. Another force of Indians with
a flag of truce are now coming in to sur
render"
