TUESDAY, May IL.
The shipments OF Boots and Shoes from this
market to places outside of New England, for the
past week, comprise 1895 cases, against 20,59S
eases for the same week last year.
Total shipments since January l. 5l1 ,9NG cases,
against $50 900 cases for the same period last year.
The shipments from Lynn for the week have
been 1906 cases, against 6l72 cases for the same
week last year.
The shipments from Have,hill for the week have
been 1896 cases, against 22O9 eases for the same
week last year.
The shipments show a marked falling OF. and
business has become quiet Many of the workmen
in the farming districts have left the shocmakers
shops and gone to farming, while large portion
of that class who only work shoes when it is
more profitable than any other employment, are
engaged in other occupations Most ofthe regular
workmen lind something to do on shoes, and the
ders are about sufficient to keep them fairly busy
There is no doubt but that the spring which
is now drawing to a close has been Improbable to
the manufacturers. Too many goods have been
made the past few years, and credits have been
granted too readily. There is better prospect
Tor boot manufacturers, but there is danger Of

San Francisco, l6. The following des-
patches have been received:
Camp South of Tule Lake,
Lava Beds, Is.
The Modocs are now entrenched in era
ter butte or mass Of lava southeast of this
camp, and are distant 10 to Is miles. Capt
Harbruck is camped within Watching distance
of the enemy, with force of 2l0 men, where
he awaits the arrival of Col. Mason. who
yesterday morning started for Capt. Jacks
old stronghold With force of 10 men. He
took the southeasterly course. 1t is intended
that the two commands shall be united and
hold the Indians at bay until Morton's com
mand is forwarded and a scout is made round
the southern boundary of the lava beds by
way of Ticknor roads. At last accounts the
Indians were terrifying their position, with
the evident intention of giving another bat
tie.
Second Despatched 2. NJ. Col. Mason
has signaled his knowledge Of the Indians
this afternoon by way of Jacks old strong
hold, and that both himself and IIasbrock
were ordered to obtain favorable positions
during the night and make an attack at
o'clock to morrow morning. This news
is only known to few in the camp, and has
not therefore yet created an excitement.
Third Despatch-Lava Beds, III A. Al.
One sentinel reports that he heard firing in
an easterly direction from the camp at an
early hour this morning. 1t is inferred from
this that Col. Mason has begun his work.
