The slaughter Of U. 5, Troops.


The Modoc war has some strange as
we'll as startling phases, and the troops
seem TO be fighting under the most
singular disadvantages. The reconnoi-
tering party, composed Of someseventy
troops unde rcommandof Capt, Thomas,
were ambnshed by the willy sayages,
the slaughter was completed, the nor
rible work accomplished, and the de,
moralized remnant Of the little band
went flying back to camp glad to escape
with their lives. Out OF the small de.
tachment, twenty men were killed and
twenty-five wounded, both lists IN
Guiding q number OF officers, Not more
than three or four of the Modocs-it
indeed as many-were killed, and these
were shot by n party Of friendly lndians
who were also accommodating.
During the engagement, q portion oil
Batteries A and X, Fourth ARTILLERY
and Company Z, Twelfth Infantry,
finding Themselves in danger OF being
outhanked, took shelter in q hollow
spot affording partial cover. No soon
er had they done SO than the Indians,
who knew and commanded every egresf
from the cavity at that point, number
ing twenty.one warriors, detached seven
of their number on one side, fourteen
remaining on the other, and they open
ed cross fire on the poor fellows who
could not show head or hand without
certainly being struck. Very few es'
capped injury. The rest wore either
killed or wounded.
