WASHINGTON June A.
1t is said by the highest military au-
thorities that the Modocs could not sur
render as prisoners of war in the sense
known to nations, when war is declared
in accordance with constituted forms: not
having been so received they are not en-
titled to consideration as prisoners of
war. Orders were issued to the COM
handing General directly after the assas-
sination of General Candy and DIR.
Thomas, that they were not to exterminate
the Modocs, but that their conduct had
been such that their extermination would
be justifiable; thus leaving the matter to
the discretion of General Davis. There
fore, if he had ordered the killing of the
Indians he would not have been GEN.
sured by superior authority. As to their
final disposition, no one questions that
they will ultimately be delivered to the
Government of Oregon for trial.
