taxes are being collected rapidly; the
tax resistance is breaking down. The
collections during the past thirty days
exceed the collections for the same time

The MOdocs.
On inquiry at the War Depart
ment it is learned that General Scho-
field hss telegraphed to the effect that
be b as every confidencein General Gill

him, and that everything has been and
will be done that human power can do
towards capturing the Modocs, Gene
raj Schofed does not think that the
indians have escaped, or that there is
any serious danger TO be apprehended by
the settlers in the country 10 which the
Indians have fled.
Senator Kelley, OF Oregon, called at
the War Department this morning and
had conversation on the subject The
Senator OF the opinion that it WAS
i'm possible to have prevent, d the escape
OF the Modocs from the Lava Beds with
double the number OF troops under
Gen. Glllem's command.
THE opinion is entertained at the
War Department that the women and
children belonging to the N docs we're,
with one or Two exceptions. removed
from the lava beds during the negora-
tions be,w Captain Jack and the
Peace Com m iss oners; and it was tor
this purpose that Captain Jack resorted
to various excuses for protrsctlng the
negotiations. In the kilograms received
rom General Schodeld, that officer ex-
presses the opinion that the escape OF
the Modocs will not affect the present
status OF other 1ndiau tribes in that
section, and that the fears OF general
Indian outbreak in the country under
his command are entirely groundless.
