| SECOND DISPATCH.
San Francisco, evening June l.
The following dispatch was received
here this, Sunday afternoon, dated camp
at Tule Lake, evening of May 90. On
Thursday morning General Davis Or
dered the cavalry and artillery and the
Warm Spring Indians under the com
mand of General Greene to proceed
from Boyle's camp to Applegate's 8
Rauche, al Clear Lake. Bogus Char
lev, Steamboat Frank, Shack Nasty
Jim and Hooker Jim accompanied the
exped tion to Captain Jacks hiding
place.
The Modocs were perfectly loyal.
They led the expedition to Captain
Jacks camp without the slightest hee-
itation within mile OF the stronghold.
Captain Jackson, Of the troops, came
across a number OF Modoc pickets and
drove them back into Captain Jack 6
camp, the Modocs yelling in their ma
tive language as they retreated "Run
quick, soldiers coming" Captain Jack =
son deployed skirmishers and also de-
ployed q part OF the troops in a posi-
ton to cut off the Modoc retreat. Be-
fore either party could fire shot the
Modocs cried out 1--WE surrender. We
no fight. We like peace talk"
Before tie Modocs ceased asking for
peace the we'll known figure OF Boston
Charley, the murderer Of Rev. DR..
Thomas, came in view. He was inn
medls,edly covered by dozen rifles
bat offered to surrender and was allow
ed to come into camp. Ga coming
into camp he threw away his rifle and
shook hands with the Warm Spring
Indians.
Boston Charley was interviewed and
reported that several Of Captain Jacks
few warriors were anxious 10 leave
Captain Jack and volunteered to act as
Commissioner tor their surrender. He
then started Tor the Modoc camp.
Captain Hasbroucks command which
should have Joined Capt jackson two
hours before he came up aud met
Charley going to the Modoc camp, they
being unaware of his surrender or OF
his mission to the other Modocs, csp-
,ured Charley and made him q prisoner
for the second time. Charley, however,
was afterwards released and sent to the
Modocs who had fed before he reached
the camp. Charley therefore returned
and reported the Modocs' fight. Had
Captain Hasbrouck formed the expedi-
ton all the Modocs would have been
killed or captured. The Modocs who
escaped actually clipped from Captain
Jackson's grasp. Captain Jack retired
through q narrow cannon.
LATER.
A dispatch from the Lava Beds dat
ed Nav 80, Ga. NJ. has just been re-
ceived. The troops and Warm Sprins
Indians were ordered to follow th'
Modocs. The track led over a noun
tain ridge and through narrow cannon
and was exceedingly difficult to follow
The Warm Spring Indians led iol-
lowed bv Company K. OF the First
Cavalry. When the troops were
marching along the crest of bluff foul
shots were suddenly fred at the soldiers
and before the fire could be returned
| Scar Faced Charley with three warriors
rushed to the front crying, me surren
der" Soon after five more surrendered

camp and made peace, sll the Aodocs
including Captain Jack, agreeing to
surrender. Caboniss remained all night
in the Modoc camp. During the night
CAPTAIN Jack with two warriors, de.
cam ped, the balance Of the Modocs, In.
cludipg old Schouchiu, surrendered
The Modoc war is ended, except the
capture of Capt. Jack.

SAN FRAScIsco, June /, 10 p. NJ
Later diepatches from the lava beds say
that no explanation has been made why
CAPT. jackson allowed Capt Jack te
retreat on the 29th ult. Capt Jack
sons troops had a position on elevated
ground, commanding the Modoc strong
hold. Capt. Hssbrouck's failure to foru
the connection is probably the cause
the Modocs did not offer to surrender
till they saw the troops on their flank
The prospects of Captain Jacks cap
tnre are very Door at present The re.
