from Boyle's Camp, dated June 18th,
states that the captive Modocs will be
taken to Fort klamath, where the COM
mission will try them. Some wounded
troops have been sent already. 1t is

Hooker Jim, Steamboat Frank and
Shack Nasty Jim, in consequence Of
having volunteered and captured Jack,
will escape punishment. Those not
tried for murder will be forwarded to
AlcatraZ. JacksOn's troops will start to
Fort klamath this evening, to prepare
for the reception of the Modoc captives.
A dispatch from Jacksonville, Oregon,
says General Ross, of the Oregon volun-
teers, has just arrived, and denies that
the massacre of the Modoc prisoners was
committed by the Oregon volunteers;
that they had other and better chances
to murder the prisoners, if they had de-
sired TO do so.
