| iHE MODE WAR.-SAN Francisco April.
zz.-ihe regular courier from the front arrived
~ roSa This morning. Som. of tn, volun
teers who escorted Eugene Hovcy's remains 10
town had conversation with Fairchild. and
asHeftaineh that Scarfaced Charley was not
kiled IN the recent fight, the body supposed to
| DO his being that of Shacknasty Frank. Schon-
chin was not killed by Mr.. Meacham, but only
wounded in the breast. He was afterwards
Killed by shell, aud the whole of his body be-
low tne breast was torn to pieces. Another
| young hlodo, named Waehnatata was recog
nized among the dead. The shell that killed
ochohchin and others was picked up by Wach-
natate before il exploded.
FROM t!ie way things looked In the cave the
nnuing oil The ammunition, provisions and other
articles 1t was evident that ths Indians left in A
hurry, h' uouDi surprising that their strong
! nom wonia Oe blown up. Tracks of at least
seven INDIANS have been seen between Fair
child's place and lower Klamath Lake. MANY
persons are OF the opinion that small parties of
the Moqocs VIII raid around the country 10 OBJ
tam good horses, while sufficient number will
remain in the Lava Beds to keep the soldiers
busy there.
AT THE FRoST, April 20-4 O'Clock p. NJ
Inc In, cavalry have returned. They failed to
discover any signs OF tue Indian trail. DIR Car
p,ncso has returned from The Lava Beds. He
reports that two squaws have been captured.-

AR. Ticknow started to-day with All expe,s

There is much speculation in regard to the
MoiorS gaining aid from other tribes IL is
possiolr tillt all the tribes except the Warm
spring Indians sympathi1e with Capt. jack but
t'ey are SAT isled tlat 10 aid him means eXter-
initiation. The Pitt River Indians will not be
iheiy 10 lplll Jack unless lie forces them. They
are Il miserable set, and have become so demor-
a,Nrd over severe chas,isements by General
Cook lh't they have lost all courage To tirht

The Snakes and Pi-Utcs, who roam about
Goose Lake and further north, are vicious Gus
TONERS. Although belonging to some northern
reservations Idaho and Oregon, they are con-
slantly prowling around the section comprising
loose Lake, Cheevean. and other valleys in
Eastern Oregon, Northern Nevada and Southern
Idaho. The Shastas scarcely number half a
dozen warriors. They have always beea bitter
enemies Of the Modocs. The Scott valley and
klamath river Indians, although sought for to
aia, nave never shown the least disposition to
take stock in Captain Jack s crusade The In
dams hereabouts and throughout Scott valley
are well posted in the movements of the Mo-
docs. Signal fires have been reported on some
of the hills in Scott valley, but whether they are
signals Of Il e Modocs or not it is not known.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-Private John
walsh, OF Company &, 18th infantry, was killed
In thc attack by the Modocs upon the pack
train on the 2Oth. Private Nolan was slightly
wounded. Maurice Marcy was shot IN the
arm.
