morning and that the movements of the
troops and Warm Spring Indians in
cutting them off from water has caused .
their removal. This, however, may be /
but conjecture. They may be in am
bush in their caves. Tonight We shall
know whether they have fed. If they |
have, the troops will at once be after
them. There is said to be water three
miles further over, but that is doubtful.
The balance of Colonel Wright's men are
on their way here. His company has
been very small and he will be glad of
their arrival.
In the Lava Beds, south side OF Tule
Lake, April 2i-Preparations are being
made for an attack upon Captain Jacks
new stronghold, about two and half
miles south of the old one. The artil
lery men are loading shells, and every
thing is being put in readiness for the
move tonight. Donald Mckay returned
yesterday from his scout around this
place, and says there are indications of
there being water near the Moioc's posi-
ton. He thinks that there are in all
about forty-fye bucks, squaws and pap
doses. The troops will form in a skir-
mish line and surround them, and then
open with shot and shell until they sue
coed in killing all or bringing them out
where they can be picked off by the
troops. No quarter will be shown to
them, and it is very evident that they
must suffer the penalty of their deeds
of butchery. They do not seem to want
to give up all hopes of the old place, as
they occasionally fire shot at long
range upon the outpost, or advance pick
cts of Colonel Mason's command. Boil
Riddle left this morning for the purpose
of visiting the Modocs upon the YainoC
reservation. There seems to be som,
misunderstanding about affairs with thu
Applegates and the Indians upon thu
reservation. 1t will be one of the seveI
wonders if Uncle Jesse does not nee
them on the war path also. The cpl
zootic among the cavalry horses is no
making very alarming progress, anC
the chances are rather favorable for thei
rapid recovery, if we do not get to,
many of the cold rains that are due abou
this season Of the year.
A dispatch from Washington says tn
resignation of Minister belong has no
been accepted as yet, and no action is t
be taken until after the return of tn
President, two weeks hence. 1t is no
!, improbable that Mr.. belong will be re
tanned, as the best way to dispose G
, the large number of strongly backe
applications for the japanese mission
There is no charge against belong, an
e if he is displaced it will be to satisfy
o political element which is too powerfr
! to be easily resisted or ignored.
Laura D. Fair announces that sh
will appear in Rotations at Mcguire

Il bills announcing the proposed entertain
G ment were distributed about the prime
y pal saloons and on the streets.
