THouBLs EXPECTED. -lnloEmAtien
lstely received at this Office. ooaveys
the intelligence that the settlers in
the vicinity Of Priest Rapids, on the
Columbia river, above the mouth Of
the Snake river, and in Yakima and
Kittitas valleys, are greatly alarmed
with regard to the movements of the
Indians under Chief Moses. They
are said to be accumulating at that
point. and the settlers fear that when
the grass has grown to sufficient
length to support their ponies the
coming spring, there will be an out
break, and being in such good con-
dition aud so we'll prepared, many of
the settlers may lose their lives be-
fore a sufficient force of soldiers can
be sent against them. One expert
ence of an Indian outbreak is sufii-
cient to last at least decade, and
the people are anxious that the au.
thorities should look into the matter
and take the proper steps to nip any
uprising that may be contemplated
by the Indians now while there is
q possibility of doing it without the
loss of life and destruction of prop
erty. Gen. Howard is said to have
expressed the belief that if he had
an opportunity to talk with the dis
affected Indians he could arrange
matters satisfactorily, but he expects
to be called to Washington soon,
and in all probability will have no
opportunity to see the disatfected
red men. The General thinks, how
ever, that no outbreak need be ap-
pretended. We hope that the fears
of the settlers are groundless, but
there may be danger, ard q close
watch should be kept upon the
movements of the savages.
