In Critical Situation---The shoshones
OF Nevada Reported on Their Way to
Join the Bannocks
San FRANCISCO, June 18.-Portland dispatch;
A dispatch received at military headquarters
states that about 500 hostile Indians have
started toward Camp Harvey in this state, and
that they are receiving accessions as they
march. Gen. Howard has given instructions
to send Miles company now en- route to
Harvey, with all possible haste. Sarah Win
nemucca. who recently escaped from the hos
tiles at Stems mountain, reports that ono
OF the Indian scouts claims to have killed
Buffalo Horn, the Bannock chief. Sarah says
their leader was killed in skirmish with citi-
zens, in which the scout was engaged.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
San Francisco, June lS-A Silver CITY dis.
patch says, Chief Winnemucca has returned to
Demands and Whipples camp on the Owyhee
river. he says the hostiles are killing hun
dreds of cattle and leaving the carcasses to rot.
The hostiles have left STEMS mountain, and
are moving towards Harvey valley. and thence
toward the Northern agency and Snake river. and
Will probably keep on until they effect juno
ton with the Columbia river Indians, which
addition to their forces will they calculate
enable them
TO SWEEP TIE COUNTRY.
They are determined to retain the FLUTES
prisoners until they can get a sufficient number
of arms from the white men they kill to arm
them. Egan is rebellious, and horses and
arms have been taken from him and his In
dams. Camp Harvey
WILL PROBABLY BE CAPT URED
by the Indians tomorrow, and i! SO there will
be a terrible slaughter of whites congregated
there for protection Nothing heard from
Howard since yesterday. If he does not effect
a junction with Stewards forces, the party ao-
be captured by the savages. The general stu
alton Is quite critical, and the massacres that
will be perpetrated bid fair to exceed in num-
bers those of the Nez Perces war.
THE sHosHoNFs, TOO.
San FRANCISCO, June lS.-An Austin. Nevada,
dispatch. says rumors are current in town that
the Shoshones have left Smokey Valley in q
body and gone north, headed for Blowaiye, OF
the Central Pacific railroad. 1t is supposeG
that they are on the way to join the hostile
Bannocks. These Indians have always been
well treated by the whites, and canuot have
any grievances against white people. They
must, in their route north, = cross the
line of the Central Pacific somewhere between
Battle Mountain and Palisade. large num-
Der of Shosh0nes from Belmont Eureka and the
valleys here, ostensibly in attendance on fam
dango, endeavored to purchase powder and lead
in large quantities, but were refused by the
storekeepers. who in some instances, were
warned by the officers against selling ammuni-
ton to Indians. These Indians have now near
ly all left going in various directions. The
Piutes are quiet but very inquisitive about the
war, which they profess to deplore.

The Bannock outbreak has assumed
alarming proportions. The most intense
excitement prevails through the northern
part of Nevada, southern Idaho, and south
eastern Oregon. Settlers from every direc-
| ton north of the railroad are flocking here
for protection. The Bannocks are now
concentrating in southeastern Oregon, one
hundred and fifty miles northwest from here
and are devastating the settlements along
their lines of march toward that point
Their course along the northern boundary Of
Nevada is through the most extensive cattle
range on the Pacific coast. The
country is settled by stock mer
and their ranches are from five
TO twenty miles apart. The Indians feed or
beef. which is abundant through the whole
country, burn the ranches, take the bes
horses. and when they can without risk tt
themselves, murder the settlers. There il
no communication between here and the In
dian-infested section except by friendl,
Piutes. A note received to-day from Georg'
: Croley, one of the most extensive cattl
owners at Juniper lake, says the Indian
have taken all. and the settlers have gath
