Immediately fell back under cover, and o few
minutes afterwards charged and took the next
bluff, some $50 yards ahead. The whole line
was now under fire, and
THE TROOPS BEHAVED sPLENDIDLY,
advancing steadily in good order We
soon passed the position held by the
cavalry, who were halted and given rest
After crossing several ridges we came to a
fat about three or four hundred yards in
width and broken by a couple Of small ridges.
Colonel Green, who was up with the troops
ordered his bugler to sound the advance. The
line then moved forward and became
EXPOSED TO HARRAssING FIRE
from fortified position held by the Modocs
in ridge on the other side Of the flat. They
soon found the fire very hot and were halted,
every man seeking cover under the sage
brush. Presently Colonel Green ordered the
charge, and the troops rising,
TOOK THE POSITION ON THE RUN
1t was one of the most dashing charges Of
the day. The officers led their men and
cheered them on under CALLING fire. In this
charge Lieutenant Egan received flesh
wound in the thigh, after making a brilliant
rush with his company. corporal of his
company was killed in the same charge. It
would be hardly fair, however, to single out
any company for special praise, as both in
fantry and artillery did splendidly.
UNPRoFTTABLE AMUSEMENT.
Up to this time I had been keeping with
the font, skirmishing, in the hopes of getting
shot at an Indian, but as the only intimation
I received of their presence came from oral
testimony of sundry bullets, concluded the
amusement was one sided and returned to
General Gillem's headquarters.
The General and Staff occupied bluff some
three hundred yards in the rear, which they
had selected as it afforded good view of the
point of attack, and also served as signal
station.
THE SIGNAL CORPS,
under Lieutenants Adams and Moore, proved
of invaluable service to General Gillem as
through their aid communication was kept up
all day with Colonel Mason's camp.
After taking the bluff on the other side Of
the fat, the troops were given a rest Of about
q couple Of hours, during which time, how
ever, the infantry and artillery succeeded in
improving their position.
ARRIVAL OF THE MoRTARs
Shortly after three p M. the mortars ar
rived from camp under the command of Ma
jor Thomas and Lieutenants Cranston and
Howe. Colonel Green then ordered Troops f
and K of the First cavalry to advance on the
left, with the lake as their guiding line. The
two troops formed in skirmishing order and
made
DAsHING CHARGE,
capturing the opposite bluffs, but not without
the loss of two killed and one wounded. I
should say one killed, one mortally wounded
and one severely wounded. One man, John
son, of X troop, was shot through the eye and
died instantaneously. Starles, the bugler Of F
Troop, was shot in the head alongside of
Colonel Perry, but he survived his injuries
several hours. After the bluffs on the left had
been captured the mortors were moved for

The whang Of the mortar and the crack Of
the muskets are still the only music enjoyed
by the Modocs, and General Gillem may
be congratulated on the success he has thus
far achieved, although the Indians are not
yet conquered. The General has succeeded
to-day in connecting his line on the left
and thus securing the water front,
which naturally deprives the Modocs Of q
necessity of life. They have also, am satis-
fled, been forced to leave the stronghold and
take up o position further south in order 10
