EFFECT OF THE NEWS IN WASH
INGTON.

WASHINGTON, May 20, 1873.
The news Of the defeat of the Modocs was
officially received here at ten O clock tonight,
the telegram being addressed to General Sher-
man. In the absence of the General the mes
sage was taken to the Secretary Of War, who
was highly pleased with the news
General Schofeld telegraphed that he had
received o report from General Davis COM
manding our forces against the Modocs. and
that about one-half Of the redskins being
hard pressed by Captain Hasbrouck, had
UNcoNDITIoNALLY SURRENDERED.
General Davis says he will push the pursuit
of Captain Jack and his party, and hopes in
two or three weeks to end the war.
WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH THE PRISONERS
has not yet been determined, but as they de-
fed the government authorities, after peaceful
overtures had been made, it is understood that
they will all be hanged as murderers, that their
fate may be u warning to all hostile tribes.
The prompt transmission of the news is the
subject of comment, in contrast with the de-
lays heretofore made in informing the War
Department of what was going on

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

The Hot Creek Band Surrender, In.
Jim, Curly-Headed Doctor Frank and
Others-GeneraI Gillem Superseded
by General Wheaton.
YREKA, CAL, May %, 1873
From j. Il. Mccoy, who just came in from
Fairchild's in eight hours and fifty minutes,
we learn that the Hot Creek band were brought
in by Fairchild,s party and surrendered to
General Davis. Their surrender was APP
parently unconditional. They gave up their
arms and were put under guard. The band
numbered fifty-fve men, women and children,
including fifteen warriors. Among the latter
are Bogus Charley, Shack Nasty Jim, Curly
Headed Doctor Frank and others-the best
fighting men Captain Jack had.
Boston is believed to have been killed.
Troops are hunting for Hawker Jim.
1t is supposed there are twenty warriors
with Captain Jack, whose whereabouts is un-
known, though it is surmised that he is in the
Pitt River Mountains.
GENERAL GLLEM SUPERSEDED.
General Gillem has been superseded. Gen.
erals Wheaton, Hardie, Gillem, Lieutenant
Rockwell and others are expected from the
front this evening, when further particulars
of the surrender will probably be obtained.
NO MORE PEACE HUMBUG.
Mr. Mccoy says General Davis was very
bluff with the Indians, and gave them to
understand that if they attempted to escape
they would be shot by the guard.
MR. MEACHAM AT YREKA.
Mr.. A. B. Meacham, ex-Peace Commits
sioner, arrived this morning from Salem,
Oregon The object Of his visit has not
transpired.

started that the Modocs feared the soldiers
would kill them the instant they entered the
camp. 1t required great deal of diplomacy
to convince her that the soldiers dared not dis
obey his commands. Donald Mckay, Captain
of the Warm Spring Indians, also had to
pledge his word that the scouts would not in
terfere.
MRS. DIXIE IN 4 TIGHT PLACE.
Dixie would leave, bat Dixie had very little
choice. She was told that the government
did not intend to trife any longer. She
might 60 to the Modocs or not according to
her own wishes, but she must leave the camp.
The Great Typee wanted no squaws about
here. She saw the point Of the argument
and no longer hesitated That is why she
changed her mind this morning after she had
decided not to carry any more messages to the
Modocs.

General Davis) come out and see them alone,
and talk over matters. Through that medium
the parties might come to an amicable under
standing, but no Modoc would surrender with
out q peace talk. Dixie corroborated the
statements Of Artena The interview lasted
an hour and three-quarters.
GENERAL DAVIS OFFERS TERMS OF SURRENDER.
At the close, General Davis told Artena and
Dixie to 60 back to the Modoc's camp to-
morrow morning and tell the Indians that he
should not come out for peace talk ; that he
did not believe in peace talks away from his
men that the Indians must come to him if
they wanted to talk. He would allow them to
surrender, and they had until Friday morning
to make their appearance at his headquarters
after that time he should shoot every Modoc
found with gun. The women told Mr.. Fair
child that they would not return to the Modoc
camp. That question will be settled in the
morning. Colonel Perry has arrived with his
cavalry. Snow is falling.

At one o'clock this afternoon One-Eyed
Dixie returned to General Davis headquarters
at slashing pace, his horse being completely
blown. He made obeisance and at once let
his tongue loose, reporting that the Indinns
were close OF hand and ready to enter the camp
under escort All they asked was Fairchild
to come out and meet them No soldiers need
come The presence of Fairchild would be
considered guarantee of good faith.
''wHERE Is ARTENA?"
asked General Davis.
"Tied up" said Dixie ''long ride and no
water"
The absence of Artena gave rise to sus-
picions Of foul play, which were only dis
PEELED by her sudden advent She, too,
refined her foaming cayuse before General
Davis and said that the Indians were hover
ing about the hills near here yearning to sur
render to the Tyfee.
Fairchild Blair and two or three employees
of the former, with whom the Indians were
acquainted, mounted swift steeds at the re-
quest Of General Davis and started with

THE EBENEzER CoLoRED BAPTIST
CHURCH.-This colored Baptist church,
which has been recently enlarged in order
to accommodate its large and growing con.
gregation, was, as heretofore announced,
rededicated December 14th. On that oc-
casion the sum Of S260.29 was lifted for
the purpose of assisting in defraying the
expenses thereof. In order to show the
rapid progress the colored people have
made in controlling its affairs we give be.
low resume Of its history from its founda-
ton: This church was first dedicated
May a0th, 1858 its first pastor was Elder
VIM. L. LINDSAY, who was elected July
25th. 1853. Its first trustees were Messrs.
A. II. Sands, j. B. Wood, Joel B. Wat
kins, R. G. Hobson, and John Adams,
who were elected in January, 1852.
The present officers are pastor, Elder
Richard Wells; trustees, R. G. Hobson, A.
o. Long, P. T. Mann, j. Prity, and j. e.
Farrar. The first cost Of this church was
about $4,000. The recent addition cost
S4,l00. The seating capacity of the edi-
flee prior to its enlargement was about
l 100 persons; it will now seat about 1 500
persons. The congregation was only kept
out Of the church one Sabbath during the
recent addition that was made thereto.
The church is indebted to Elder j. e. Far
rar, contractor, for the successful and rapid
manner in which the repairs were made,
Large accessions have been made to the
of Ebenezer church since its
pastor, Elder r. Wells, took charge,
which was in 1870. II .s "a
