San Francisco, May 23, 1873. The following despatch has just been re- ceived in Yreka, dated Fairchild’s ranch, May 20, four o'clock P. M:— While General Davis, Inspector General Biardie, Colonel Green, Colonel Sumner, Colonel Gillem, Colonel Hoyt, Lieutenants Rockwell and Adams, with their escort, were en route to Van Bremér’s, having left the lava bed about ten o’clock in the morning, a courier intercepted them and delivered a de- epatch to General Davis, whereupon the Warm Spring Indians and scouts in advance were re- called, and the programme instantly changed, nd General Davis determined upon Fair- ehild’s ranch instead of Van Bremer’s for hhis future headquarters. The place is about ‘twenty-three miles northwest of the lava bed. GAPTAIN HASBROUCK’S GALLANT BLUE CoaATS. Captain Hasbrouck left Boyle's Camp May 7 and has been scouting ever since. His com- mand consists of Battery B, Fourth artillery ; Troops B and G, First cavalry, and Warm Bpring Indians, numbering in all 210 men. Captain Jackson had charge of Troops B and G, with which he harassed the Indians. His men fought well in every instance, and paid little heed to hunger, so that they vanquished the Indians, Captain Hasbrouck specially praises the gallantry of B troop and a portion of Gin the charge at Dry Lake. The men sealed a ridge twenty-five feet high in face of the Modocs, and drove them away. Captain Jackson led the right and Lieutenant Moss the left, and Lieutenants Boutelle and Kyle held other bold positions. Captain Hasbrouck has pisrgs ® man since the Dry Lake engage- BY SQUAW, CAPTIVES, helen, bn Long Loegs,) One-eyed a two Modoes, residents of this last evening interviewed the five women captured by Captain Hasbrouck’s command, and from them gleaned interesting accounts of Modoc operations during the last few montbs, ‘The cantives are Mrs. Waghmo- ey ‘ -_ ee aa le a NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY MAY 24, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. tel, Boston Charley’s two sisters, the mother of Black Jim and one maiden whose relatives have attained no notable distinction. They report that Shack Nasty Frank, Shack Nasty Jake, Shack Nasty Bill, Steamboat Frank, Ellen’s man, Hawker Jim’s father, Boston Nick and several other Modocs, have been killed, and many wounded. LEAD TOO HEAVY FOR THEM. Curley-headed Jack carried a piece of lead in his body several days, and when last seen was apparently booked for the happy hunting ground. ‘fhe inability of Little John to travel at a rapid pace delayed the band Has- brouck encountered and got the Modocs into this last difficulty. JACK’S CHRONOMETRICAL PROGNOSTICATIONS FAIL. The account of the disaffection among the Modocs after the battle is interesting. Jack consulted a stolen chronometer, and, after sundry gestures and exclamations, promised his followers that they would shed rifle bul- lets as a duck does water and escape un- harmed. The confidence this statement in- spired was rapidly dispelled by Captain Has- brouck’s encounter, when several Modocs wore killed and others wounded. Indignation reigned supreme in Jack’s household. The Cottonwood branch of the tribe from Fair- childs decided they would fight no more. This resolution led to Jack’s clandestine de- parture. The Cottonwdods, numbering twenty warriors and fifty women and chil- dren, hurried to the Snow Mountains, at the Southern end of the lava deposit, preparatory to travelling to the Yainox reservation and imploring pardon from the Great Father at Washington. Mrs, “LIMPEY'’ SCALPED—‘“‘LIMPEY,"’ JUNIOR, RESCUED. The sudden and unexpected advent of Has- brouck’s cavalry and Warm Spring Indians disturbed their peaceful meditations and caused them to ran or fight. During the stampede Mrs. Hendricks, alias ‘Limpey,’’ threw her six months old infant to the ground, in the hope of escaping, but was soon after- wards killed by a Warm Spring warrior. The babe was brought hither and turned over to a squaw. Artena also learned from the Modoc women that the Cottonwood Indians earnestly desired any action looking to the restoration of peace, and would yield to the soldiers if an opportunity were offered to them. THE WARM SPRINGERS STOP THE INTERVIEW. About this time the gentle Warm Spring Indians, who were outside the interviewing apartment, commenced singing one of their national melodies and drawing their bright knives across their neat moccasins, which caused an unéssiness among the squaws and terminated the consultation. ARTENA CHOKUS AND DIXIE AS PEACE EMISSARIES, Captain Hasbrouck said he was willing to have the Modocs surrender, and would afford them every facility for so doing. Artena Chokus and Dixie, who have hitherto been of great service to the government, caught the idea immediately and wanted to be employed as emissaries. They were provided with horses and provisions for two days, and sent after the Modocs. They started on their mis- sion early this morning. The results thus far achieved are in a great measure attributable to the conduct of General Davis. He found the officers and men disheartened by their terrible reverses and that demoralization had really commenced. GENERAL DAVIS REPORTS FROM KLAMATH RESER- VATION. Asecond despatch, dated May 21, six o'clock A. M., says that General Davis has just returned from the Klamath Reservation. He says there is no disposition on the part of the Indians in that locality to join the Modocs. A few young men and “hoodlum’’ warriors on the reservation might have been induced to enlist under Captain Jack had he met with continued success, but his defeat has damp- ened their ardor. No trouble is now appre- hended from the Modocs slipping into the Yainox agency and inciting the young “‘bucks’’ to mischief. : A third despatch, dated Fairchild’s ranch, May 21, eight c’clock A. M., says:— The latest order locates the headquarters at Van Bremer’s, whither the infantry went yes- terday. General Davis remains here for the present. RETURN OF THE EMISSARIES. A fourth despatch, dated Fairchild’s, May 21, says: — Artena, Chokus and One-Eyed Dixie re- turned at dusk this evening from the direction of Dorris’ ranch. Mr. Fairchild, the gentle- man who has cleverly engineered this con- sultation business, judged that the Modocs must be at least fifteen miles away. Both the women said in substance that they had trav- elled a long distance. The women were taken to General Davis’ tent, into the presence of General Hardie, Colonel Gillem and Captain Hasbrouck, Fairchild interpreting. True to their nature, these women talked a long while and said but little. Finally Artena said the Indians were fifteen miles from here, and numbered fifteen warriors and fifty squaws and children. MODOC HEARTS BLEEDING, The Great Spirit had caused their hearts to bleed for the white people, and they all wanted to return to the fold and live in peace among the’ whites; but in the present condi- tion of affairs a due regard for their lives pre- vented them from appearing within reach of the army. They wanted a peace talk, and General Davis) come out and sce them alone, and talk over matters. Through that medium the parties might come to an amicable under- standing, but no Modoc would surrender with- out a peace talk. Dixie corroborated the statements of Artena. The interview lasted an hour and three-quarters. GENERAL DAVIS OFFERS TERMS OF SURRENDER. At the close, General Davis told Artena and Dixie to go back to the Modoc’s camp to- morrow morning and tell the Indians that he should not come out for a peace talk ; that he did not believe in peace talks away from his en ; that the Indians must come to him if they wanted to talk. He would allow them to surrender, and they had until Friday morning to make their appearance at his headquarters ; after that time he should shoot every Modoc found with a gun. The women told Mr. Fair- child that they would not return to the Modoc camp. That question will be settled in the morning. / Colonel Perry has arrived with his cavalry. Snow is falling. REPORT FROM CAMP BOYLE. The following are the latest despatches received at Yreka: — Boxyiz Camp, oN THE PENINSULA, May 21—10 A. M. Nothing has transpired here since the arrival of the patients from the camp at the southern end of Tule Lake, All the wounded are doing well, save the Warm Spring Indian scout. He will die unless he consents to have his arm amputated. INFANTRY ARRIVED ON WILLOW CREEK. Vax Bremen’s, May 21—2 P. M. The infantry arrived here last evening and have established a camp on Willow Creek. SCATTERING THE MILITARY LEADERS. Famcamp’s Rancu, May 22—8 A. M. General Hardie, Colonel Gillem and Lieu- tenant Rockwell leave for Yreka; the former going north; the two latter to proceed to San Francisco. UNCONDITIONAL: SURRENDER. The Hot Creek Band Surrender, cluding Bogus Charley, Shack Nasty Jim, Curly-Headed Doctor Frank and Others=—General Gillem Superseded by General Wheaton. Yrexa, Cal., May 23, 1873. From J. H. McCoy, who just came in from Fairchild’s in eight hours and fifty minutes, we learn that the Hot Creek band were brought in by Fairchilds party and surrendered to General Davis. Their surrender was ap- parently unconditional. They gave up their arms and were put under guard. The band numbered fifty-five men, women and children, inckading fifteen warriors. Among the latter are Bogus Charley, Shack Nasty Jim, Curly- Headed Doctor Frank and others—the best fighting men Captain Jack had. Boston is believed to have been killed. Troops are hunting for Hawker Jim. It is supposed there are twenty warriors with Captain Jack, whose whereabouts is un- known, thongh it is surmised that he is in the Pitt River Mountains. GENERAL GILLEM SUPERSEDED. General Gillem has been superseded. Gen- erals Wheaton, Hardie, Gillem, Lieutenant Rockwell and others are expected from the front this evening, when further particulars of the surrender wil) probably be obtained. NO MORE PEACE HUMBUG. Mr. McCoy says General Davis was very bluff with the Indians, and gave them to understand that if they attempted to escape they would be shot by the guard. MR. MEACHAM AT YREKA. Mr. A. B. Meacham, ex-Peace Commis- sioner, arrived this morning from Salem, Oregon. The object of his visit has not transpired. PARTICULARS OF THE SURRENDER. San Francisco, May 23, 1873. A special despatch to the Bulletin gives the following particulars of the surrender of the Hot Spring band of Modocs :— Famcntp's Rancu, May 22—3 P. M. At one o'clock this afternoon One-Eyed Dixie returned to General Davis’ headquarters at a slashing pace, his horse being completely blown. He made obeisance and at once let his tongue loose, reporting that the Indinns were close at hand and ready to enter the camp under escort. All they asked was Fairchild to come out and meet them. No soldiers need come. The presence of Fairchild would be considered a guarantee of good faith. ‘WHERE I8 ARTENA?"’ asked General Davis. “Tied up,’’ said Dixie; “long ride and no water."’ The absence of Artena gave rise to sus- picions of foul play, which were only dis- pelled ‘by her sudden advent. She, too, reined her foaming cayuse before General Davis and said that the Indians were hover- ing about the hills near here yearming to sur- render to the Fairchild Blair and two or three employés of the former, with whom the Indians were acquainted, mounted swift steeds at the re- quest of General Davis and started with Dixie. JOY IN THE CAMP, Frvz o'Crocg P. M. The news of the intended surrender of the Indians spread through the camp like wild- fire. Soldiers, Warm Spring Indians and scouts were alike elated at the prospect of a peaceful victory. MODOCS AFRAID OF THE SOLDIERS, started that the Modocs feared the soldiers would kill them the instant they entered the camp. It required a great deal of diplomacy to convince her that the soldiers dared not dis- obey his commands. Donald McKay, Captain of the Warm Spring Indians, also had to pledge his word that the scouts would not in- terfere. MRS, DIXIE IN 4 TIGHT PLACE. Dixie would leave, bat Dixie had very little choice, She was told that the government did not intend to trifle any longer. She might go to the Modocs or not according to her own wishes, but she must leave the camp. The Great Typee wanted no squaws about here. She saw the point of the argument, and no longer hesitated. That is why she changed her mind this morning after she had decided not to carry any more messages to the Modocs. “Here they Come!’ Famcump's Rancy, May 22—6 P. M. “Here they come!"’ wasthe cry that startled the camp a few moments since and brought every person—citizen and soldier, old and young—to his feet, hurrying forward to the crest of the hill west of the camp. I secured an excellent view of the scene beyond the procession that was slowly creeping along in this direction. First came Mr. Blair, the manager of Fairchild’s ranch, mounted ; fifty yards behind him was Mr. Fairchild, and further still twelve Modoc bucks, with their squaws and papooses. Never did a procession move more slowly. The few ponies, ridden by the Modocs, were gaunt and weak, and seemed scarcely able to bar the women and children who were literally piled upon them. APPEARANCE OF JACK’S BUCKS. Among the bucks were Bogus Charley, Steamboat Frank, Curley-h®aided Doctor and others of note. They were dressed in motley garbs, nearly all of them wearing a portion of the regular uniform of the United States Army, and every buck carried a Springfield rifle. The women were dressed in clothes that had evidently been used by the fair sex within the confines of civilization. All of them entered camp at a funereal pace. The noise and bustle among the soldiers were hushed; few words were spoken. The Modocs said nothing. No one ap- proached them until General Davis came for- ward. He met the procession fifty paces from the house, and was formally introduced to Bogus Charley. BLOODTHIRSTY BOGUS CHARLEY SMILES SWEETLY. Charles is a slender, athletic, intelligent warrior, of about twenty years of age. The man thoroughly understands and speaks “English. The scamp smiled sweetly on the General, and shook his hand, and then all the leading warriors came forward and greeted Then, every buck laid his gun beside him and awaited orders. General Davis said, “Give up your pistols and all your other arms.”’ Each buck said he had no arms. “Then,’’ said the General, ‘I shall give you a camp where you can remain to-night, and if you try torun or escape you will be shot dead.” The order was explained and all obedience promised. MOTLEY CROWDS OF CAMP FOLLOWERS. The procession then moved across Cotton- wood Creek to a clump of trees. At this point the trailings of the crowd came in. There were half naked children, aged squaws who could scarcely hobble, blind, lame, halt, bony and the scum of the tribe. There were sixty- three persons, men, women and children— twelve bucks, twenty squaws and their chil- dren. Mr. Fairchild says there are twenty bucks missing from the Cottonwood branch of the tribe. Bogus Charley said Boston Charley had been killed. The disaffection heretofore re- ported is corroborated by the Captain of the Modoes, who parted company with Captain Jack eight days ago. Captain Ives is now drawtng rations and ar- ranging for a feast. Captain E. M. Camp arrived from Van Bremer’s this afternoon. Companies E and G of the Twelfth infantry will remain here on guard. Captain Kingsbury commands Com- pany E. General Wheaton and Captain Winters reached here this morning. CAPTAIN JACK TO BE HOTLY PURSUED. The artillery has been divided into squad- rons and the Warm Spring Indians into small parties for the purpose of following Captain Jack’s faction of the Modoc tribe, and the respective commands will start out in a day or two, Probably the Modocs are in the vicinity of Ball's ranch. It is now well known that the Modocs have been within reach of the road from Ball's ranch to the lava beds fora week or more, and could have done an exten- sive business in the butchering line had they been so disposed, HOOKER JIM SURRENDERS. Szven O'Croce, P. M. Another Modoc has just entered the camp and surrendered. It is Hawker Jim, the Lost River murderer. OFFICIAL BULLETIN FROM THE SEAT OF WAR. San Francisco, May 23, 1872.

The news of the defeat of the Modocs was officially received here at ten o'clock to-night, the telegram being addressed to General Sher- man. In the absence of the General the mes- sage was taken to the Secretary of War, who was highly pleased with the news. General Schofield telegraphed that he had received a report from General Davis, com- manding our forces against the Modocs, and that about one-half of the redskins, being hard pressed by Captain Hasbrouck, had UNCONDITIONALLY SURRENDERED. General Davis says he will push the pursuit of Captain Jack and his party, and hopes in two or three weeks to end the war. WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH THE PRISONERS has not yet been determined, but as they de- fied the government authorities, after peaceful overtures had been made, it is understood that they will all be hanged as murderers, that their fate may be a warning to all hostile tribes. The prompt transmission of the news is the subject of comment, in contrast with the de- lays heretofore made in informing the War Department of what was going on. FUNERAL OF GENERAL CANBY. The Remains of the Martyr Interred at Crow’s Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis— Fall Military Honors—An Procession of Military, Clerical and Civic Dignitaries in Attendance. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 23, 1873. The obsequies of General Canby took place from the First Baptist church this afternoon. The church was handsomely decorated throughout with emblems of mourning.

Pan, May 23, 1873. The debate on the interpellation introduced by the conservatives was commenced in the National Assembly at Versailles to-day, in the afternoon. The floor of the hall was filled with mem- bers, and the galleries were crowded with spectators. President Thiers, accompanied by several members of the Cabinet, was present, The Duke de Broglie opened the debate with a speech in support of the interpellation, M. Dufaure, Minister of Justice, declared, on the part of the government, that it was now necessary to abandon the provisional régime and acknowledge the Republic. PRESIDENT THIERS ASCENDS THE TRIBUNE—HIS VOICE DROWNED AMIDST WILD EXCITEMENT, President Thiers then mounted the tribune to speak, Instantly a storm of objections and protes- tations came from the Right and Right Cen- tre, which was met with counter cries from the other side. A scene of excitement and confusion followed which baftles description. The President in vain endeavored to make himself heard; his voice was drowned in the uproar. Finding the house would not hear him, M. Thiers descended from the tribune and con- sulted with the Minister of Justice. M. Dufaure took his place in the tribune and, securing silence, said that he had been instructed to formally notify the Assembly, in accordance with the law adopted last session, that the President desired to address the House in person and requested an adjourn- ment until to-morrow morning, when he would proceed to deliver his speech. The Chamber accordingly adjourned. PARTY CAUCUS. A special meeting of the Deputies of the Left has been called for nine o’clock to-mor- row morning. CONCILIATION. The Left are pleased with M.
