A Dispatch from Gov. Chadwick.
PORTLAND, Ogn., July 8.-The
following dispatch has just been
received here from Governor Chad
wick: "Umatilla, July 9Th, 1890
A. M.-Msjor Kress at 2 O'clock this
morning went down the river on
the steamer Spokane to Coyote
Station, fifteen miles below this
place. He passed the crossing at
the upper end of Long Island,
two miles this side the sta.
tion, but saw no signs of Indians.
Evidently the Indians mistook
the Spokane for the regular morn
ing boat, which leaves at l o'clock
on Monday. AS soon as it passed
the head of Long Island they be.
gan to move their stock. Major
Kress returned Immediately and
found hostile Indians crossing
large numbers of horses. He
ran upon them, when some
of the horses returned to
the Oregon side and others
crossed over the river. Major
Kress made an attack on the In
dians' camp and destroyed it and
everything about it, including all
canoes. A number of saddle blank.
cts and buffalo.robe were found at
Camp Squads. The hotties have
been in sight all morning with
stock. Scouts are OUT.
The --latest from den. Howard.
BAKER CITY. Ogn., July 8.-The
latest from Howard Is by a courier
who arrived at Umatilla on the 9Th.
IL, I'd Il, nj Hrnaly
Indians are in front of him. The
trail is very large, indicating at
least 1000 or 800 hostiles. Scouts
report that great many Umatilla
Indians have Joined them. How
ard thinks it is the intention Of
the Indians to either come down
Birch Creek, Bitter Creek or Will
low Creek. They either intend to
cross the Columbia near Umatilla
or are trying to get over into the
Wallula. From the present action
of the hostiles, it is very
difficult to learn which route they
will take. Howard warns all to be
on the alert and advises that boats
be stationed along the river at diff.
ferent points to prevent their cross
ing.
General Howard was at Pilot
Rock yesterday, undoubtedly
moving this way. One small band
of Indians, with about eighty head
of horses, passed down opposite
and in sight Of this place this
morning, to join the hostiles that
crossed below. One of them told
Mr.. Switzler this morning that
Howard was coming this way.
Switaler advised him not to join the
war party and he said it was no use
to talk 10 Indians. Switzler at
once removed his family
to this place., He lives nearly
opposite Umatflla. This Indian,
called "Bill," with whom Switzler
talked, was one he had heretofore
regarded as friendly. Bill stated
also that the hostiles were divided
into three parties. Two would go
below the landing and one above
but he would not tell where they
would cross. They are scattering to
gather in renegade Indians for o
fight or a protracted campaign.
