May 6p. m, says: Gen. Davis has
just Sturned from the klamath reserva-
tion, Ind says there is no disposition on
the trt ofsthe Indians in that locality
to jof tho Modocs. A tsw young men
Of u Hoodulul warriors would have
been induced to enlist with Captain

but is defeat has dampened their ardor.
No rouble is now anticipated.
he latest order locates headquarters
at Sn Brcmen's, whittier the infantry
wen yesterday. Gen. Davis remains
herr for the present. The fourth dis
patio, from Fairchild's ranch, May 2lst,
saw: Two womeu-Artena Chokas
andRied Dixie-returned at dusk this
eveing from the direction Of Davis's
ranh. Mr.. FaiIchild, tho gentleman
wht has cleverly engineered this consul
tatin business, Judged that the Modocs
NUT be at least fifteen miles away.
Bot women said in substance that they
hadtraveied long distance. Tho wo-
mel were taken to Davis's tent, in pres
enc of Gen. Hardee, Col. Gillem and
Cat. Hasbrouck, Fairchild interpreting.
IRE to nature, these women talked
lOIy, while they said little. Finally Ar
ten said the Indians were fifteen miles
iron here, and numbered fifteen war
rios and fifty squaws and children. The
Grat Spirits had caused their hearts to
bled for the whele people. All wanted
to rturn to the told and live ut peace
among the whites, but, in the present
condition Of affairs, q due regard for
thef lives prevented them from appear
ing within reach Of the army. They
wanted a peace talk. Let the great
while Chief (meaning Gen. Davis) go
outand see them alone, and talk over
matters, that the parties might come to
an .micable understanding. No Modoc
void surrender without apeacc talk.
Dixie corroborated the statement OF
Arena. The interview lasted an hour
and three quarters. At the close Gen.
DAVIS told Artena and Dixie to go to
the Modoc camp tomorrow, and tell the
Indians that he should not come out for
a peace talk-did not believe in peace
talks away from his men. The Indians
must come to him if they wanted talk
He would allow them to surrender, and
they had until Friday morning to ap
pear at headquarters. After th't he
should shoot every Modoc found with
. gun. The women told Fairchild they
would not return to the Modoc camp
That question will be determined in the
morning. >,
