RepOrter-DO you believe that the re-
publican party represents majority of
the voters of this State?
-Unquestionably. Indeed, /
am fully convinced that they possess al
least twenty thousand majority, if per-
mitted to enjoy an honest expression of
their views through the ballOt-boX.
RepOrter-Why do you give it to the
people? and would you and your associ-
ates favor, under any circumstances, a
new election?
Kellogg-When the contest was being
prosecuted last winter several members
of the fusion legislature, having ascer-
tanned that no objection would be inter
posed by me to a new election
conducted under such authority as
would insure its fairness, desired
me to refuse my assent to it. They
were opposed to new election, because.
suppose, they thought Mr.. McEneTy
would be recognized as governor, and
that they would thus get control of the
State. If my personal feelings only
were consulted, l do not desire
to be governor of Louisiana, but believ-
ing that was legally elected, it was my
duty to continue to exercise the func-
tons of chief magistrate of the State
until the party that elected me shall
decide, or congress determine, to or
der a new election. In such an
event their decision will be promptly
accepted and cheerfully aquiesced in by
me. In expressing this opinion, can,
of course, give only my own views
and not those of my associates.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-Dispatches
from the Lavabed to-day state that three
hundred and seventy-five soldiers and
Warm Spring Indians are securing the
Lavabed and surrounding country. The
total number of troops in the field is
twenty officers and four hundred men.
LAvABEDs, May 10, II p. m.-Lieu-
tenant Bacon, of troop X, first cavalry,
who has arrived in camp with a detach-
ment, having been on escort duty be-
tween here and Captain Jacks old
brings a report from Lieu
tenant Chaplin, commanding the latter
camp, that his pickets heard firing in
the direction taken by Colonel MasOn's
in their scout after the In
dians. 1t is generally supposed an en-
gagement has occurred at the camp
south of Tule Lake.
LAvABEDs, 1910 am, (via Yreka)
May l4.-Sinee General Davis assumed
command of the Modoc expedition in
person, ten days ago, only one conflict,
that of Saturday, has occurred, though
the movement of which this last affair
was feature is progressing, and several
bodies of troops are now hunting an en-
General Davis found the
soldiers dishealtened by the disastrous
campaign, and had to resort to many
devices to arouse their tagging enthu-
siasm and increase their efficiency. He
began his work with a will, and his
eaTnestness won him the sympathy and
friendship of officers and privates, and
inspired them with confidence. He
studied the situation carefully, utilized
the experience of his predecessors, and
gave the wearied soldiers time to recu-
perate from the fatigue and mental ex-
citement incidental to the rough fights
in the lavabeds. He sent out a scouting
party, had the men disciplined in In
dian lodges, and now his first grand
movement is in operation. 1t is his
intention to harrass the Modoes and
keep them stirring from place to place,
and subdue them. The men say they
feel that he means business.
LAvABEDs, May Is, p.m.-Part of
the men in this camp, il not the entire
force, will be moved to Boyle camp, on
the peninsula near Tule lake, within the
next two weeks. This camping ground
is very unhealthy in the summer. Al
ready the rattiesnakes and scorpions are
familiar with the interior of the tents,
and are making unsocial visits during
the nights.
News will probably be received from
Colonel Mason's force to-day. Every
one is anxious to hear the result Of the
present scout. ssaa
