Lava Bzp Camp, Cal., May 11, 1873, Yesterday the scouting party under Captain Hasbrouck and Donald McKay met the Modoes at the head of Sorass Lake. It seems they had been encamped the night previous, expecting to meet the Indians in that vicin- ity, though the only signs seen were fresh ‘tracks of one mule and a pony. Twelve men of Jackson’s cavalry were guarding the horses, when, IN THE GRAY OF THE MORNING, fhe Modocs attacked the camp. They had left their horses back some distance and crept upon the sleepers, the first fire killing one and wounding eight men. The soldiers sprang to their arms, and, with the Warm Springs, in a few minutes were driving tha Modocs, Shay ¢ The “gountry was rather open, but still tough, for two iiiles, which the Modocs must pass to reach the lava bed. THE WARM SPRINGS tan them so fast that the Modocs lost twenty- one horses and some loads of ammunition. One Warm Spring was killed. The Indians were @riven all day and last night. Donald McKay sent back for water, saying he could hold them. There were ‘THIRTY-FOUR MODOCS IN THE FIGHT— all the band. They were working around for the timbered butte, near the Sand Bluff, where ‘they hope to escape by way of Pit Range, if forced to leave the lava beds. This is a de- cisive victory, and will do more to encourage the soldiers and discourage the Modocs than all the previous fighting. The Warm Springs fought nobly and to the purpose. ‘THE OFFICIAL REPORT, at half-past seven o'clock this evening, states ‘that the troops lost two killed—Corporal Tot- tem, of Troop G, First cavalry, and one Warm Spring Indian. One Modoc is known to be killed, and perhaps others. To-morrow 170 men from this side are ordered to move towards the scene of the con- flict. General Davis hopes that we now have them whipped, and will improve the occasion. General Gillem will not be interfered with, for his policy has been true so far. I think Wwe can see the beginning of the end. Further Particulars of the Fight. Camp on Lava Bens, May 12, 1873, Thad little time in which to give particulars of the last fight before the courier left. The forces acting against the savages are some twenty-five miles from here, and are working this way, probably driving the Modocs to- wards the stronghold they occupied at the time of the Thomas massacre. The troops are moving from this camp this morning, hoping to cut them off before they reach it. All is action now. THE MODOCS WILL BE ALLOWED NO REST. General Davis says that we have begun an action which will end in exterminating the tribe. It was a great mistake of the Modocs, who undoubtedly thought they could stam- pede this force as they had stampeded others; hut they met the Warm Springs. THE INDIANS SURPRISED. Theso warriors started at the first fire as fast as they could get their guns, trotting on the flank of the Modocs, which surprised them. The cry of the Warm Springs went ‘through the Modoc ranks and they were stam- peded in place of the soldiers, The Warm Springs drove them steadily all day, and laid on their flank last night, and will renew the fight to-day, Batteries A and K loft for the lava beds aight. : CONDITION OF LIEUTENANT HARRIS.

The topographical party left for San Fran- cisco to-day. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Lava BEps, May 1i—9 A. M. Via SAN FRANCISCO, May 12, 1873, Despatches from Lieutenant Bayles’ camp state that at sunrise yesterday the Modocs came into the camp and fired on the picket guard. The com- mand of Captain Hasbrouck, after scouting all day, had returned to Sorass Lake for water, and were making efforts to secure some by digging, but none could be found. Donald McKay was sent back to Lieutenant Payles’ camp as an escort of Battery First cavalry, left for the scene of the fight, the distance being seventeen miles, and which occu- pied all night until dawn of the next day. Captain Jack’s band rode within one hundred yards of the camp, when all dismounted and CHARGED ON THE CAMP, firing into the herd and guard. The first volley stampeded the herd, which leit for the camp, and while the men were getting under arms the Modocs gave volley after volley, killing four sol- diers and one Warm Spring Indian. A rally was made and the charge was sounded. This time Donald McKay and some of his men united and drove the Modocs into the timber, capturing twenty-one ponies and three pack mules, One Modoc was left on the field and nineteen mules packed; also six dead bodies. Before the retreat the trail was covered with gore. The In- dians beat A HASTY RETREAT towards the McLeod range of mountains, Captain Hasbrouck hanaled his men dexterously. He is now furnished with five days’ supplies, but water is very scarce, which acters along stay in the field. General Davis is determined to keep the savages moving until the last Modoc is killed. The soldiers gain greater courage, having THE ENEMY IN THE OPEN GROUND. The wounded are being brought into camp in Wagons, and from there they will be taken to headquarters. Two soldiers are reported mortally wounded. Captain Hasbrouck thinks the Modocs have no ammunition except what they have re- maining in their pouches, as they lost their entire reserve of ammunition in this fight. The cavalry are in camp allsafe. Captain Jack has but seven animals with him. CAPTAIN JACK WEARING GENERAL CANBY'S UNI- FORM. He wore the attire of General Canby, and took his position on the field in as lordly a manner as if he had been a brigadier general. The artillery will move at once to the other side of the lake. Enough men will remain In the old stronghold to keep it safe, while the rest will give chase and try to exterminate the fugitives. There were thirty-three Modocs engaged. No squaws Were seen guriog the ight nor by the scouts on the following night. ~ san WHERE DID THE MODOCS GET FIXED AMMUNITION? Theré 1s a strong suspicion that Captain Jack is receiving ald from some unknown party. It ap- pears strange how he got six boxes of central primed cartridges. He did not capture them from our forces, and it is certain that he could not have picked up that amount after the battle of January 17, When the courier left the troops were BETWEEN THE LAVA BEDS AND THE INDIANS, the latter being entirely out in the lava beds stronghold. The condition of Lieutenant Harris is much the same as last reported, but there is a greater hope for his recovery. The Troops in Pursuit. SaN FRANCISCO, May 13, 1873, Adespatch from Yreka states that the Modocs are twenty-five miles from the place of the last fight, and are hotly pursued by the troops and the Warm Spring Indians. Reinforcements to General Davis. LARAMIE City, Wyoming, May 13, 1873.

Mrs, Canby arrived on the same steamer. The funeral ceremonies take place to-morrow. Flags are at half-mast on all the public bulidings. ARIZONA AND OREGON. Capture of Quiecnhattanoba—Movements of Troops—An Indian Attack at Walla Walla Gallantly Repulsed. SAN FRANCISCO, May 12, 1873, Advices from Arizona state that the United States troops captured Quienhattenoba, the Apache chief, who had murdered five squaws, and were about to hang him, but General Crook ordered that he be sent to Fort ‘Alcatraz, in the harbor of San Francisco. Three companies of troops have been ordered from Arizona to the Modoc country. Work is to be commenced immediately on the government telegraph line between Arizona City and San Diego, Cal. AN INDIAN ATTACK AND A GALLANT REPULSE, A despatch from Portland, Oregon, yesterday, says five Indians attacked the house of James Har- rison, eight miles from Walla Walla. He refused to give the Indians tobacco and they knocked the door down. Harrison defended himself and daughter with a hatchet, knocked two of the In- dians down and was struggling with a third when the danghter came to the rescue and knocked the Indian down with an axe, The neigh- bors heard the outcries and came to the relief of Harrison and his daughter, and captured three of the Indians, who are in jail; the two other Indians escaped.

The German Bourses Generally and Severely Depressed. Serious Consequences of the Money Panic in Vienna—Prussia Preparing to Apply for Leg- islative Relief—The Operation of the Aus- trian Bank Act Suspended—“Wildcat” Speculation and Other Causes Which Tended to Produce the Crisis. TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Peru, May 13, 1873, The Bourses of the principal cities of Germany are extremely depressed in consequence of the money panic in Vienna, The German North government, with a view to the relief of the different centres of ’Change, will introduce a measure into the Diet applying Prussia’s share of the war contribution to the purchase of bills and public securities to advances for the ac- commodation of merchants, and to the redemption + of the debt for railway works. THE PRUSSIAN RAILWAYS AND SPECULATIVE POLICY OF THE STATE, The German government proposal to borrow 120,000,000 thalers for a system of railways in Prus- sia was the occasion of an animated discussion in the Chamber of Representatives during the latest days of the month of March. The liberal party gen- erally was disposed to support the concentration of the railways in the hands of the State. The ultramontanists, on the other hand, who, it is alleged, oppose everything that adds to the influ- uence of the central government, were hostile to this view. The impression against the govern- ment produced by the debate was very strong, and the course—so unusual in Prussia—of refusing to grant the vote in question by a solemn, decisive vote, was seriobsly canvassed by the majority. The Austrian Bank Act Suspended. Vienna, May 18, 1873, The operation of the Bank act hasbeen sus- pended, its national privilege chartering it to the year 1875 being obliterated. The Austrian Bank Act and Its Pre- monitory Difficulties=Hungarian Ac- count of “Wildcat” Speculation. Aspecial correspondence in Hungary, dating in Pesth at a very recent moment, presented some words ofadmonition premonitory of the Austrian Bank act crisis and the Vienna Bourse financial collapse, setting forth some few of the causes which were more immediately pressing towards such results, The writer said:—The presence here of the Aus- trian Minister President and the Minister of Fi- nance has been taken advantage of vo hold con- ferences on the bank question. This question had been ed in 1867, when the arrangement between Austria and Hungary was made. There were then so many other far more urgent ques- tions, and this question itself was so intricate, that it was thought more advisable to adjourn its solution, as the privilege of the National Bank, Which lasts till the end of 1875, seemed to admit of such adjournment without creating much incon- venience. Hungary did not, indeed, recognize this Tivilege as binding, and as the arrangement with Rhstria did not mention the bank as one of the in- stitutions common to both sides of the Empire, she considered herself entitled, if her interests re- quired it, to establish a national bank of her own, and the status quo was ac- cepted in good faith on both sides. For a couple of years things went on smoothly enough on both sides. The Austrian National Bank, anxious to maintain its privilege over the whole Empire, did everything to make things pleasant. Confidence being restored in the stability ef poiitical institu- tions, as regulated by the compromise with Austria, gave a fresh impulse to industrial and commercial activity in Hungary. The impuise was vigorously promoted by a good harvest for two years, and an export of grain and other raw produce such as had never existed before. Financial and industrial establishments were springing up in every direc- tion, all of which naturally expected to find sup- ort in the National Bank. Nor were they deceived. ‘ne Vienna establishment endeavored in every way to meet the demands thus made upon its re- sources. The dotation for its branches in Hungarv, which had been £1,500,000, was successively ore than doubled, while the low discount made the benefits of this increased fund easily accessible to every one, All this lasted till about the middle of 1869, when gradually a change arose, The impulse given to industrial and finan- cial enterprise by the settlement of political affairs, however healthy and legitimate in the beginning, had gradually degenerated into speculation of the wildest kind, Every one was getting up companies, or, at least, trying to obtain his share in the fabulous: Ins which were realized by the pro- moters. The shares of companies which had not yet begun their operations were driven up to twice and more of their nominal value, while the whole disposable capital in the Empire would have been scarcely sufficient to supply halfofthem, Foreign capital, which it had been confidently reckoned upon would flow in freely, did not come in so repay 8 was required to make up the deficiency of capital in the country, and the resuit of all this was a violent reaction, which, in the Autumn of 1869, culminated in a monetary crisis. To make things worse, the harvest had been very in- different, not to say bad; so that the relief which mignt have been expected on this side fell away likewise. As this state of things was not confined to Tlungary, bat extended to Austria likewise, the bank thought it necessary to raise-its discount ana to apply the most stringent measures te protect its reserve of notes. A great disaster was the conse- quence, Shares of every kind fellto a fourth and less of their former value. Most of the new indus- trial establishments being short of working capital and relying on an easy discount were, if not ruined, at least Rg poe for years, and, in the bitterness of deception, instead of examining the co-operation of the many causes which had produced this deplorable result, only looked out for a scapegoat which was found in the National Bank. It was al the fault of this institution, whch, by its anti- quated, heavy mechanism and the exclusive con- sideration of its own interests in preference to the pe of the public, had brought about the calamity, It would be immaterial to inquire how far these changes were justified, but the impression has remained from that time that this institution is not up to the requirements of the present time and needs thorough reorganization. SOCIAL SOIENOE IN BOSTON, Boston, May 13, 1873. The eighth general meeting of the American Social Science Association commenced this even- ing in Freeman place chapel.
