\ large number of people visited
the army headquarters to-day, where
the body of General Candy remains

The casket was strewn with flowers,
and a guard of honor posted at noon.
The funeral services will be held to-

YEFEA. Nav 13.
Captain G.. j. Lydecker, of the en-
gineer corps, arrived from the front
This morning at the same time as did
the regular courier. Lieutenant Har-
riS was i'll a very critical condition.
The party who went up the Klamath
in search of Bogus Charley had not
yet returned. 1t is very doubtful il
they catch him.
The last reports from the HainoX
reservation represent all quiet, but it
was thought the Young Klamath war
riors would readily go to war if they
were certain Captain Jack could hold
out much longer.
The following from the Journals
correspondent at the front will appear
in the morning:
LAVA BED. May -.
I had but little time It give particu-
lars Of the last fight before the our
iers left. The forces are acting some
twenty-five miles from here, and are
working this way, probably driving
the MOdocS toward the stronghold
they occupied a. the time Of the
thomas massacre. The troops are
moving from this camp this morning
hoping to cut them off before they
reach it. All is action now, and the
Modocs will be allowed no rest. Gen
eral Davis hopes that we have begun
an action which will end in eXtermin-
ating the tribe. 1t was Il grand mis-
take OF the MOdocs. wno undoubtedly
thought they could stampede this
force as they had the others, but they
met the Warm Spring Indians. These
warriors started at the first fire as fast
as they could get their guns, trotting
in on the flank of the ModocS, which
surprised them. When the cry of the
Warm Spring Indians went through
the MOdOc ranks they We're Stan-
peded in place of the soldiers. The
Warm Spring Indians drove them
steadily all day, and laid on their
flank last night, and will renew the
fight to-day.
Batteries A and X left for the Lava
Bed last night.
The wounded in the last engage
ment arrived at Boyle's camp last
evening.
The mail couriers arrived last night.
We learn that the MOdOcS were head
ing towards Van Bremen mountain,
closely followed by the troops and
Warm Spring Indians.
The Modocs are either attempting
to return to the Lava Bed from tnis
side or will take to Van Bremen
mountain and there scatter. They are
evidently starved out, and their am
munition nearly all gone, making
them subjects for easy capture if good
guides are with the soldiers to hunt
them down.
SACRAMENTO. May IS.
Mortimer still continues his de-
monstrations of insanity. He de-
clines to speak, Notwithstanding he
has been assured by his counsel that
nothing more can be done for him.
Lieutenant Eagan, wounded in the
leg during the first days assault upon
Captain Jacks stronghold in the
Lava Bed, came down to-day en- route
for a Francisco.
A deserter from the companies
operating against the MOdOcs, recent
lv arrested in Shasta, was being taken
to San Francisco on this afternoons

unable to run, and he was r~e-captured.
