ton. The troops under General Can
by now moved forward again and com.
menccd to encircle the savages in their for
tress. The circle was drawn gradually closer,
and the Indians again professed desire for
peace conferences. They saw the troops
drawing closer and closer, and now set up a
new demand. They objected altogether TO
leaving the lava-bcds. and wanted the troops
sent away. Notwithstanding this prcpostc-
rouS demand the peace commissioners lis
tened to the palaver of the braves. Several
interviews took place. The story Of the last
one is told in Yesterday mornings dispatches
from the laya-bed camps.

SIX months since on the most notorious of
the Modoc band. said Of Captain Jack He

himself rather insolently, and had many a

insuted him. The other prominent men,
hers OF the band are Scarfaced Charley, Bogus
Charley, One-Eyed Waterman. the Doctor,
and Black Jim. The former is an Indian of
great bravery. and is said to be desperate
OF the worst kind. He. too. has often visited
lreka. lie speaks English quite well, md
at the beginning of the trouble acted "a in
terpreicr between the troops and Captain
Jack, who is ignorant Of the language. The
other indians, about ninety in number, are
all warriors, and are regarded as desperate
men.
