YRExA, CAL, May 1.-THE following,
is from the Journal extra of this even
ing:
LAVA BED. May FL am enabled to
furnish news to noon of to-day. Last
night Genls. Gilem and Davis and sow e
other officers crossed the Lake from Ma
sons camp. during heavy gale, and
came near losing their lives. The boat
became almost unmanagable and nearly
swamped. From them I learn the cor
rect situation Of the troops now engr-
ging the Modocs. The scene of action
is about 90 miles South west Of the
J
ally very strong. At last accounts they
had been driven into rocky fas.ress
where they are busy in fortifying. The
present force was not considered suhi-
eient to storm their place, and the Mo
docs will be held there, if possible. un-
til reinforcements and mortars can be
brought up. It will be two days before
this can be accomplished, possibly Ion
ger. Meanwhile the troops present are
suffering for want Of water, none
being Immediately available. Every
means have been used TO get a sup
p.y until the Modocs are driven out.
Water is plenty at Willow Creek. in rear
of the Modocs, but on account Of dis
tance. it is not accessible to our troops.
There will be skirmishing until the
place is abandoned by the Modocs or
captured by the troops. Ianticipate that
the Modocs will be victorious. The Iu-
dans have their arms with them, and
will make stand until their safety is
provided for, and then they will disap-
pear.
The result of the fight may be briefly
summed up as follows: Modoes driven
III with loss OF 2 killed and part of
their horses taken, their ammunition
train, clothiA G, and about two tons OF
provisions destroyed. Their losses
will start them to raiding on the settlers.
The Warm Springs lost one man. The
u,tack was made by the Modocs, at day
beak stripped to their breech clou.s, ez-
pecting to stampede the horses. 1he
shooting party were mistaken, though
they succeeded in stampeding q hor-
ses. aflei wards recovered, killed one
soldier, and wounded several others
The Warm Spring Indians run them
past their plunder, capturing their camp
equipage, and completely turning the
tables upon them.
Camp Headquarters will be moved
iIllier's Island, Tulle Lake, at once,
making an increased land carriages OF 4S
miles. 70 men will be left at the press
ent camp to guard.
