Doin2s Of tho Peace Commission.
YREKA, March g. From couriers who
arrived from the front this evening we
learn that upon the arrival of Judge
Rosborough and f. Steele, ut head
quarters, propositions for the settle
ment of the Modoc troubles were de-
cided upon, and on Friday, Mr.. Steele,
accompanied by interpreters and others,
went to Captain Jacks camp, where
they remained all night. One propo-
sition was that the Modoc5 should SIR
render as prisoners of war and be re-
moved to some reservation outside of
Oregon probably to Arizona-and be
provided for by the Government. TO
this the Indians all agreed, and eight
OF Jacks braves accompanied Mr..
Steele to Fairchild's rancho to confer
with General Candy and the Commits
sioners, where they were last evening
when the last courier left. Captain
Jack being sick it will require several
days to complete the treaty, when it
will have to be approved by the authori-
ties i'll Washington before it will he en-
forced
Jack claims his people were not to
blame for killing settlers, as the citizens
commenced by killing one of his
squaws and two children. The feeling
here is that the murderers should be
punished instead of being granted COM
plete amnesty as proposed by the Com
missioners.

HEADQUARTERS PEACE COMMISSION,
FAIRcHILD, March 4, 1873.
To Columbus Deidno, Sec. Of the Llte, ior,
Washington, d. C.:
The Modocs emphatically reject all
offers and propositions. They propose
to meet in full force Meacham and Ap-
plegate with six men unarmed in the
lava bed. This undoubtedly means
treachery. We are still willing to meet
them in conference, but not upon their
terms. They have an accession of
twenty-four warriors not Modocs, with
out doubt, we will send message of
protection to all who come out. The
mission is failure. Instruct immedi
ately. Time is of vast Importance
courier awaits.
(Signed) A. B. MEAcHAM,
Chairman Of Peace Commission.
