received from Yreka tonight with news from
the Lava Beds up to yesterday. Nothing par
ticularly interesting had occurred Col. Perry
with his cavalry had returned from a scout
without being attacked. He is convinced that
none of the Indians have left the Lava Beds.
Donald Mckay reyorts that a party of Indians
are encamped in Big Cave, four miles south Of
the first battlefield. They must come out for
water, and McKay's Indians are posted to pick
them off as they come out, 1t is thought des-
perate fighting will be required to dislodge
them, A general border war IS feared, owing
to the bad faith of the government agents with
the indians.
Mr.. Mecheam is recovering. He has left the
hospital for Ferrer's rancho. Capt. Egan is also
recovering. sass

FAIR WEEK.-The programme of the week in
June devoted to the Fair for the benefit of the
Maine General Hospital, though not fully de.
cided upon, is understood to be as follows:
On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings June
10th and 18th, concerts will be given by the full
Portland Band These will be known as the
opening nights" Visitors are expected to de-
vote their attention chiefly to purchasing arti-
cles which will be for sale at TIE various tables
The music is furnished for the purpose of sooth-
ing tho melancholy which the loss of loose
pocket change is apt to cause. The Band has
volunteered its services for the opening night.
Thursday evening, june 18th, Mrs. Jarley
and her renowned wax-works put in an appear
ance. IL
Friday evening, June 18th, a concert will be
given by the Rossinis. ~. ers.-.ss

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Information having
reached the Department of State from general
sources that irregularities had been committed
by some of the Commissioners to the Vienna
Exposition, appointed under act of 1872, Mr..
Jay and Mr.. McElrath were directed to insti-
tute inquiries at Vienna and to report to the
Department of State. Day before yesterday
their report was received, informing the Secre-
ties, and advising that pending further exam
ination and action of the department upon it,
that all commissioners appointed under the act
of 1872 be suspended and a temporary commits
sion be appointed in its stead, to be composed
of LIE Grand B. Cannon, Theodore Roosevelt,
jackson s. Shultz, William F: Blodgett and
James Renwlck, who were soon expected
there, and of such other persons as might he
selected, who should act until the removal of
the suspensions or the appointment Of per-
marent commissioners in the place of those
suspended The recommendations were laid
before the President and approved by him yes
terday. The Secretary of State instructed Mr..
Jay by cable that the suspensions were ordered
and the recommended appointments, but that
the suspensions were not to be taken as any
opinion pronounced against any particular per-
son suspended by temporary commission for
re-appointment. This act does not affect skill
ed artizans or scientific commissioners, who
were appointed by the President under the
provisions of the act Of 1873, whose appoint
tiles complained of.
