A CARLIsT hNAZoN.-A correspondent OF the
London Times writes from the royalist head
quarters in Northern SPAIN discovery was
made few days since a woman was serving in
the royalst ranks dressed in a soldiers uniform
She was found ont In the following manner: The
priest of the village to which she belonged hap
pening TO pass through a town where the regi-
ment was quartered, and CHANGING to see her
was struck by the likeness she bore to one
of his Pensioners. "YOu must be Andalacia
Bravo" he remarked. "No, I am her brother"
the reply. The cures suspicious were
aroused, and, at his suggestion. an inquiry was
made, when IL was discovered that the Youthful
soldier had no right to the masculine yestments
she wore. Don Carlos, when he was told OF
the affair, desired that she should be sent a
a nurse to the hospital in Durango, and when
he visited the establishment presented the fair
Amazon with military cross of merit. The
poor girl was delighted with the decoration, but
besOught the King TO allow her to return to the
regiment, she said she was more sccusfomed
10 inhictng wounds than to healing them In
fact, she so implOred TO be permitted to serve
once more as soldier that at last Don Carlos 10
eXtricate himself from the difficulty, said, "No

but when form battalion of women, prom
Use upon my honor that you shall be named the
colonel" at will never happen" said the girl
and she burst into tears as the King left the
hospital.

THE CONDEMNED MAN Young.
A Fruitless Application for Communication

The Attorney General to day transmitted TO
District ATTORNEY Fisher the application of the
counsel of Henry Young, alias Charles Will
lams, convicted of the murder of Frank Hahn,
and sentenced to be hung on the 18th of No
vember next, for a commutatlon of the cath
penalty to imprisOnmeut for life The counsel
petition for the communication on the
ground that the evidence was circumstantial
and there may be Doubts as to his guilt.
Judge Fisher reported tn t the case, in his
opinion, was not proper one for executive
clemency, and in his letter says -" THE muir
der OF Hahn was most brutal, and while 1t is
true that the evidence was circumstsntisl, Il
was none the less convincing to the jury, who,
in my opinion, returned a proper verdict
The prisoner has now given up all hopes of life,
and is making his Preparations for death, re-
ceivipg the instructions of Rev. Mr.. Draper and
Rev. Perry Rider, 1.-THE latter a local minister.

CAPT. JACK.

San Francisco, June 4.-Since last
advices the csptives and captors re-
NAMED at Applegate's Ranch. Be-
fore night Capt. Jack, the murderer
of Gen. Candy, and Schonchin,
| Meachem's murderer, were bound
together and placed with other war
riors in a small building adjoining
Applegate's house, under guard.
Neither Jack nor Schonchin spoke a
word. Not a muscle of jacks face
moved. Scar-faced Charley protest.
ed against the indignity in behalf OF
his fellow captives. He said none OF
them intended to escape, even it OPP
portunity offered. He obtained little
satisfaction and retired in disgust.
The usual Sunday evening services of
the Warm Spring Indians was dis.
pensed with, instead of which they
had a glorious war dance until mid
night. They leaped and howled
about the fire and INDUCED in other
demonstrations of delight. Efforts to
christianize the Warm Spring In
clans have been eminently successful,
for the most of them are members of
the Methodist church. They over
flow with fervor. All the military
force of the expedition will be united
at this point. The cord to General
Canby's hat was found in Capt.
Jacks satchel. Colonel Green's cap.
ture was made in Oregon, and Colo
mel Perry's in California.

either his person or the subject mat
ter of the charges and specifications,
being tribunal unauthorized by either
statute military law, martial law or
we'll established usages but this
plea was overruled and he was con-
victed upon seveaal charges-one of
which was murder-in violation Of
the laws and customs of war, and
after sentenced he was hung for his
crimes. All proceedings in this case
derived their authority and validity
from the common law of war.
Certain persons, it will be remem-
bered, were tried and convicted in
some way for the assassination of
President Lincoln. Attorney Gen.
Speed in discussing this subject,
said spy though prisoner of war,
may be tried, condemned and
executed by military tribunal with
out breach of the Constitution. A
bushwhacker, jayhawker, bandit of
war, rebel assassin being public enc
mics may be tried, condemned and
executed as offenders against the law
of war and the law of nations, which
is the result of experience, and the
wisdom of ages has decided that
jayhawkers, bandits, &C., are offend
ers against the law of nations and of
war, and as such amenable to militia
ry laws. Our constitution has made
these laws part of the laws of the
land.
The Attorney General then says !:
No civil tribunal has jurisdiction in
the cases disclosed by the papers
before me; all laws and customs of
civilized warfare may not be applica-
BILE to an armed conflict with Indian
tribes upon our Western frontier :;
but the circumstances attending the
assassination of Candy and Thomas
are such as to make their murder as
much violation of the savage as of
civilized warfare, and the Indians
concerned in it fully understood the
baseness and treachery of their act.
1t is difficult to define exactly the re-
lation of Indian tribes to the United
States !; but as they have been re-
cognized as independent communities
for treaty making purposes, and they
frequently carry on organized and
proiracted wars, they may properly,
as it seems to me, be held subject to
those rules of warfare, which will
make negotiation for peace after
hostilities possible, and which make
perfidy, like that in question, punish.
able by military authority. Doubt
less war with the Modocs, is practi-
cally ended, unless some of them
escape and renew hostilities, but it
is right of the United States as there
are no agreements of peace to deter.
mine for themselves whether or not
anything more ought to be done for
the protection Of the country or pun
ishmCnt or crime committed against
the captors, army, or people, commit
ted before he was captured, and for
which he has not been punished by
his own authorities, my conclusion
is, therefore, that a military commits
sion may be appointed to try such of
the Modoc Indians now in custody
as are charged with offenses against
the recognized laws of war, and that
if, upon such trial, any are found
guilty, they may be subjected to
such punishment as those laws re-
quire or justify.

Jack, Boston Charley and Schonchin
without waiting any suggestion from
the civil authorities.
A dispatch dsted June 5, says Gen.
Davis had completed arrangements
to hang twelve of the chief Modoc
offenders, but designed on receiving
orders from Washington to turn over
the indicted men to the Oregon auth
critics.
A correspondent thus details his
interview with Capt. Jack through
the medium of an interpreter; at
first he was reticent of the fact. He
did not deign to notice of his Sis
ter Mary who interceded in his be-
halt and persuaded Jack to talk. His
first remark was in relation to the
shackles. He said it made him feel
mean to be habited like a horse. He
was not afraid to die and had no idea
drumming away AS he spoke his eyes
snapped, and he looked very lion
in rage. When asked his age he
gave us to understand that he was
thirty.six. Then he voluntarily
started upon statement of his griev
ances against his race at the time of
the Ben Wright affray, and that what
he did was only paying offold debts.
A critical study of jacks face cor
roborates the impression received at
first sight. He is thorough Indian.
His head is large, quite square, and
for the present sits firmly on his
shoulders. His eyes are black and
bright, his face broad, and has a
prominent cheek bone. His nose is
symmetrical and slightly aquilne; his
lips are thin and clean cut, and COM
bined with his chin indicate that
resoluteness of purpose that has
won for him such remarkable nOtori-
ty. Complexion is dark, his face
has a pleasant look, and take it all in
all he is striking man. Place him
among thousands and he would be
taken for chief by any observing
stranger. Those who have seen him
marvel not that he is the leader of
the Modocs. Though in chains and
on the brink of eternity he is yet
feared and respected by the Indians
about him. His nearest companion
in chains, Schonchin, is so years of
age and wrinkled, and has villain de.
picted in every line on his face. He
wears his hair short, and stands
about FIVE feet nine in his moccasins.
Boston Charley is about 25 years old,
his face is expressionless.
