rifles of various patterns, 1l3 cartridges
and several lean and hungry ponies.
Boston Charley and Schonchin are
anxious about the disposition to be
made of them. The former is the mur-
derer OF DR.. Thomas and the latter mu-
tilated Meacham. Boston and Schon-

chin is fifty. The boldeat warrior of

DR.. Cabonnes, of Yreka the contract
surgeon, who putting the Modocs into
camp this morning, after sleeping at
night in their retreat, says of Captain
Jack, that he presented most woe-be-
gone appea, ance The wiley warrior
sat up on rock, in the center of lit
tie lava bed, few yards back from the
center of bluff, and seemed as lonely
as his surroundings. He was wrapped
in faded army blanket, and his head
was buried in his hands. His sister
Mary, captured at Willow creek day be-
fore yesterday, talked TO him with tears
in her eyes. and asked that he enter our
camp. He was sullen and had little to
say. He did promise that he would
surrender to-day, but in the night he
stole away.
The Moiocs say Jack is insane, but
there is much method in his madness Il
At present he is thought to be iu this
neighborhood with from three to five
warriors. There are twelve Mode
warriors at large now. Scouts were
male to day in three sectious of the

Major Trimble and Major Cressen. The
war with the Modocs as tribe Is over.
Fighting after guerrilla fashion will be
probably continued until the last out
law is captured or killed Captain Hi
