Washington, July 25. - Full instructions have been telegraphad to Geueral Coppinger, regarding the troubles in the Jíickson's Hole región, for him to issue the necessary orders for the movement of such a forcé of troops as he shall deern requisito for carrying out the request of the department of the interior to prevent a confl et bet ween the Indians and the white settlers, and to return the Indians to their proper reservations. General Coppinger is inatruoced to prooeed to the scène of the disturbanoe and to poraonally direct the operations of the troops. The report of Agent Teter, at Fort Hall, Ida., puts the oase in a bad light for the whites. He says he has investigated the matter, and advises that troops be sent to proteot the law abiding settlers who are in danger only because the "lawless element among the settlers seems determiued to cause a conflict with the Indians. The settlers have killed four to se ven Indians, which has incensed the Indians who have gathered to the number of 8J0 or 300 near Fall Rlver, üintah county, and refuse to return to their reservation. I flnd that the Indiana have killed game unlawf ully, acoording to the laws of Wyotnlng, though notunlawfully according to the treaty of the Indians with the United States."
