 sufrender of the Warriors to tho United -~ States Troops.
 The two Modoc women, Artena Cho- kus and Dixie, in company with MT. Fairchild and party for protection, re-. turned to the Hot Creek warriors and held pow-wow. The conferences end ed in the savages returning with them to Gen. Davis headquarters and sur rendering internationally. They num- Der sixteen warriors and thirty-nine squaws and papooses, in all fifty-five.
 Among the warriors were some of Jacks most noted fighters, including Bogus Charley, Curley-headed Doctor, Shack Nasty Jim, Shack Nasty Frank, and others. When they were brought to headquarters, each warrior laid down his breech-loader and ammunition in front of the commanding officer, and as he did so, the hard, savage face be- trayed, through the habitual Indian stoicism, the depth of demoralization to which they had been brought. They could hardly keep from weeping.
 Boston Charley, it has been ascer- tained from the captives, was killed.
 Shack Nasty Frank, Shack Nasty Jake, Shack Nasty Bill, Steamboat Frank, Ellens Man, Hooker Jim's fath- CT, Boston Nick, and several other Mo docs have been killed, and many wound ed during the fights. a. aE
 The account of the cause of the dis. affection among the Modocs after the late battle is Interesting. Jack con suited stolen chronometer, and, after sundry gestures and exclamations, promised his followers that they would shed rifle-bullets as duck does water and escape unharmed. The confidence this statement inspired was rapidly dispelled by Capt. Hasbrouck's s encoun- ter, when several Modocs were killed and others wounded. Indignation reigned supreme in Jacks stronghold.
 The Cottonwood branch of the tribe from Fairchild's decided they would fight no more. This resolution led to . Jacks clandestine departure. The Cot tonwoods, numbering twenty warriors and fifty women and children, hurried to the Snow Mountains, at the southern end of the lava deposit, preparatory to travelling to the Yainox Reservation, and imploring pardon from the Great Father at Washington.
 "Here they come, 7" was the cry that startled the camp, and brought every person, citizen and soldier, old and young, to his feet, hurrying forward to the crest of the hill west of the camp. I secured an excellent view of the scene, beyond the procession that were slowly creeping along in this direction. First came MT. Blair, the manager of Fair child's ranche, mounted fifty yards behind him was Mr. Fairchild, and further still, twelve Modoc bucks, with their squaws and papooses. Never did procession move so slowly. The few ponies ridden by the Modocs were gaunt and weak, and seemed scarcely able to bear the women and children who were literally piled upon them Among the bucks were Bogus Charley Steamboat Frank, Curly-headed Doc tor, and others of lesser note. They were dressed in motley garbs, nearly al of them wearing portion of the regu lar uniform of the United States Army and every buck carried Springfield rife. The women were dressed II clothes that had evidently been uset by the fair sex within the confines O civilization. All of them entered caml at a funeral pace. e..
 The noise and. hustle among thu soldiers were hushed few words wer spoken. The Modocs said nothing. N one approached them until Gen. Davi came forward. He met the procession fifty paces from the house, and wa formally introduced to Bogus Charley Charles is 8 slender, athletic, intelli gent warrior, of about twenty years o age. The man thoroughly understand and speaks English. The scamp smiled sweetly on the General, and shook hi hand, and then all the leading warrior came forward and greeted him cordially Then every buck laid his gun besid him and awaited orders. Gen. Davi said, "Give up your pistols and all you other arms" Each buck said he ha
 no arms. "Then," said the General "I shall give you camp where yo- can remain tonight, and if you try t run or escape you will be shot dead. '. The order was explained and all obedi ence promised. The procession the moved across Cottonwood Creek to clump of trees. At this point the trail ings of the crowd came in. There wer half-naked children, aged squaws wh could scarcely hobble, blind, lame, halt bony, and the scum of tho tribe. Ther were sixty-thre persons, men, womer and children, twelve bucks, twent r squaws, and their children.
