HALL’S DEATH BY POISON. Baddington Kager to Carry Off the Honors of the North Pole Discovery. Pane CSE alah HIS THREATS OF SHOOTING. WASHINGTON, June 12, 187%. The final orders for the sailing of the United States steamer Juniata, Commander Braine, now at New York, in quest of the Polaris, were issued by Secretary Robeson this afternoon. The Juniava {a a third-rate screw of 828 tons, and was recently fitted out at Boston, She will leave at once for Disco and Upper Uperavik. There the Secretary hopes some of the crew of the Polaris will have arrived by the time the Juntata reaches these points, and information may be oo- tained of Captain Buddington and his vessel. The Polaris, Captain Tyson thought, would go into Winter quarters in Northumberland Sound, but from that place some of the crew of the ship might reach either Disco or Upernavik. Com- mander Braine is ordered to remain at these points areasonable length of time, and should he ascer- tain that the missing vessel is all right he will re- turn at once and so report. If no trace of the Polaris and her crew can be got, then it Is the in- tention of Secretary Robeson to fit out as soon as possible an expedition to go in searctof her. He is determined to leave nothing undone to quict all apprehensions of the safety of the ship. The seamen of Captain Tyson's party, who have been at the Navy Yard for a leave to-morrow tor New York. ‘hey have been paid a portion of their wages, and are still regarded as belonging to the crew of the Polaris. They are under promise to Secretary Robeson to divulge nothing concern- ing their separation from the vessel until his own report, made up from their testimony, is pub- lished. Yet enough has been gathered from their broken conversations and confidences with per- sons about the Navy Yard to indicate that Secre- tary Robeson’s report will exhibit A BLACK RECORD AGAINST CAPTAIN BUDDINGTON, and to some extent against Dr. Bessels, It would appear, upon the authority of these seamen, that from the day the vessel entered the Polar waters and hopes of success grew high, intrigue and jealousy pre- valled on board, especially among the higher omicers. Hall, who had been a personal friend of Buddington, found the latter, who was tne main- stay of the expedition, against hint ia his purpose to penetrate the Polar regious. Being neither navigator nor scientist, it was thought hard that Captain Hall, with nothing but enthusiasin to sup- port him, should carry off THE GREAT HONORS AWAITING THE DISCOVERY OF THE NORTH POLE, At the highest point reached by the Polaris noth- ing was either seen or Known of a discouraging character. The weather was favorable, the water open, and everybody on board full of faith in the certainty of a swilt and easy triumph over the short remaining distance between themselves and the grand object of the expedition. At this junction Buddington positively refused to go further, and Captain Hall, who had the authority but not the nerve to displace him and put Captain Tyson in his place, WAS ALMOST HEARTBROKEN at this determination. If he had possessed resolu- tion enough to force the pending diMculties to a crisis the crew would have stood by him to @ man; but his policy was temporizing, and Buddington was the controlling soul of the snip. After Captain Hall’s death, which, it is thought by the seamen, was caused by an affection of the brain induced by anguish and anxiety. Buddington gained free access to the medical stores and was almost constantly intoxi- cated. Captain Tyson’s position was of a more trying nature than his own testimony is likely to | reveal, and if death had been the certain end of his venture upon the ice floe it would have been likely enough his deliberate choice, All his companions on the floe were, as the seamen express it, Hall men. One or more of the seamen have admitted that the circumstances attending their departure from the ship were marked by ex- ecrations and THREATS OF SHOOTING FROM BUDDINGTON, who was drunk and flourished a revolver, The only accidental circumstance attending the sepa- ration of the party [rom the Polaris was the sud- den breaking up of the ice. Mrs. Hall, widow of Captain Uall, arrived here this mcrning from Cin- cinnati, for the purpose of taking with the Polaris castaways, and was surprised to learn of their departure. She came to Washington be- fore the Polaris sailea to dissuade her husband from going in theexpedition, as she was convinced he would never return. Her e 8, as well as hose of her friends, faued, and she to-day regrets the venturesome spint which led bim to s\arton his third and tast voyage. Captain Halls Esquimanux.

THE MODOGS. ee General Davis Speaks. Out--What He Thinks of the Modoc Problem. His Objections to Civil or Military Trial, “Execution on the Spot the Surest and Speediest Method.” ——- General Davis’ Address to Jack--- A Recital of Modoc Crimes. Prompt Hanging of the Murderers Necessary for Peace with the Indians, San Francisvo, Cat., June 12, 1873, The following despatch has been received here :— General Davis, in conversation with the special correspondent of the Bulletin, on the 11th inst., gave the following statement:—Wnhen I arrived on the field I found the troops engaged in war witha band of Tadian outlaws and murderers, wards of the government, who had revolted against Its au- thority. They were fighting mercilessly, netther giving nor exacting quarter. [then thought that captives taken in the future should be executed on the spot, as the surest and speediest method of settling the Modoc problem. When captured while fighting against the military forces of the United States, and AS A SEPARATE NATION and tribe, Iwas disposed to deal with them ac- cordingly. Since their capture I have ascertained that the authorities of Jackson county, Oregon, have found indictinents against certain members of the band, I have not deemed it proper to turn them over to the civil Courts, because they were waging war against the government at the time the murders, upon which the indictments were based, were committed; also for the freason that alter the capture they were prisoners of the government, and not directly amena- ble to the civil Jaws. During my com- mand here I have observed that the citi- zens, When desiring protection for person and prop- erty or indemnification for loss, invariabiy appeal to the authority of the United States; but now that the war is over and the marauders captives, both the public and the local authorities want to take the punishment of the offenders into their own hands. The threats of the people and the recent bloody act in this neighborhood when four old de- fenceless captives, en route from Fuirchild’s ranch to this camp, were murdered by civilians, indicate that a2 trial by civil law would be A USELESS FARCE, The people have made up their minds that the prisoners are guilty. It is suggested that a mili- tary commission be ordered to try the criminals, If the idea is carried out the oficers composing the court should be of high rank, and men who have had no immediate connection with the Modoc difficulty. Such @ commis- sion would probably try each case separately. It will require about six months to perform the work, to say nothing of the expense involved in such proceedings to the government. Besides, everybody, civil as weil as military, knows that the Indians are guilty of marder in the first de- i thought to avoid the unnecessary expense of the farce of a trial by doing the work myself. Owing to the dilatory | manner in which the Modocs were treated by those in charge at the beginning of these diMculties the Indians obtained a fearful advantage over us. They slaughtered so many people that the country was astouished—even shocked—and now fear they will GET THE ADVANTAGE IN THE CLOSING SCENES. This same fear was disturbing the minds of the citizens of the frontier. Justice has already been very tardy, and its coming is approaching from so many different directions and in such questionable shape and garb, that 1 doubt her success in meeting the requirements of the case. The Indians do not recognize the jurisdiction of civil or military courts, because they are incapable of understanuing their workings. These Modocs cannot comprehend what is meant by Court. They have been interrogated on that subject, and they would regard a Court trial, with tts technicalities, testimony, &c., a3 a kind of jugglery, and if convicted and sentenced to death could not be made to understand that justice figured in the business at all. They believe they have committed deeds that merit death, in fact, are real murderers, and have DAILY EXPECTED TO BE HANGED. They believe the military have the power and right to inflict punishment. The murders and ar- rests occurred in Oregon and California, and the case is badly mixed. My proposed course would have settied the question bya single stroke. The Gordian knot was to be cut, The Indians are cooped up in tents—men, women and children, guilty and innocent alike, fearing a massacre all the time, They must remain in this condition of suspense for months, I had procured lumber, chains, rope and tackle and ali the paraphernalia of execution, and had selected Friday last as dooms- day. Thursday forenoon I drew up this DECLARATION OF CHARGES and read it to Jack later in the day :— HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF COLUMBIA, } IN THE FIELD, LAKE TULE, Cal., June, 1875. § Jack—Since white men first began to travel through or settle in the country occupied by the Modocs, a people of which you claim to be one of the chiefs, the Modocs have been known as a band of merciless robbers and murderers. The history of your tribe is filled with accounts of the murders of the white race. Even among your Indian neighbors you are known as a domineering and tyrannical tribe. Old settlers in the country re- Port as many as three hundred murders committed by your people within the limits of the present feneration, Along the shores of this peau. trful littie lake, ia view of which = wi now stand, are the graves of over sixty vic- tims of Modoc barbarity, all murdered by your immediate ancestors in brutal acts. They were peaceful emigrants—men, women and chil- dren, passing quietly throagh the country on the public highway. For these many crimes no ade. quate punishment has ever been visited upon Fe guilty—even as a tribe ur individually, Upon the cantrary, the government has tacitly over/ooked them. A few years ago, regardless of these acts of treachery, it gave you a reservation of laad for | @ Lome, Where, U you chose, you could cemain gad enjoy the annnal hounties of the government un- molested, You all went upon the reservation (hy provided and part of your tribe bas remained, But you and vour band seem to have PREPBRRED TUR WARPATH “You lett the reservation, you spurned che kiad- Ness of the government, and even resisted the sol- diers in the execution of their duty while endeavor- ing to force you back to the reservation. You hastened to ight, Emulating the bloody deeds of your fathers, you again atrewed the shores of Tule Lake with the slain victims of your bloody band. Ali those victims were peaceful and unsuspecting citizens, aud were slaughtered while at their daily avocations. You then fed to your stronghoid, the fava beds, prepared tor war, and defied the power of the government. Still, the President at Wash, logton ordered the soldiers to desist until the Peace Commissioners could have a talk with you, and, if possible, avoid shedding more blood. Their efforts were fruitless, After much delay and many attempts at conciliation on their part, you decoyed the Commissioners into your hands. Armed or unarmed, these acta have placed you and your band outside of the rules of civilized warfare, In other words, you tave made yourselves outlaws, and as such, since my arrival here, a8 the successor of Genera Canby (whom you murdered with your own hands), [ have made un- vemitting War upon your race and upon you until at last you have been captured after mach expense ‘othe government and the loss of many valuable lives. Now that L have recoumted your history and that of your tribe, the recent acts of yourself and band, f will close this interview by informing you that L have this day directed that you and your confederates, members of your band, be EXECUTED AT SUNSET TO-MORROW, in the presence of the troops, your people and the assembled citizens of the country.’" While I was preparing the list of those I intended to execute 4 courier arrived with the instruction from Washington—“Hold tne prisoners until fur- ther orders.” After the execution I intended or- ganizing a force for the purpose of starting for Columbia and probably for Lapwai, seeing and taiking with as many chiefs as possible while en route, Uknew that che prompt execution of Modoc Outlaws would facilitate peace talks among the Indians of Oregon and Washington Territory, as well as California, and have a tenden to quiet the Indians all througn the country, The Indians all know that we have captured the Modoes, and they will quickly learn the news if the death pen- alty 18 inflicted, The chastisement would result in & mutual benefit to both Indians and wiites+ With the prestige the Modocs have gained we could do great good by such a campaign. ~ tk, ee 7 — CUBA. ~ Tonrnalistic {Complaint of Leakag’ or Break age of News Telegrams-- Tho Chinese Labor Question.

WASHINGTON, June 12, 1873, An oMicial copy of the journal of the fourth an, nual session of the General Council of the Indian Territory, recently held at Okmul- gee, has been received at the Board of the Indian Commissioners in this city. the proeeedings was the adoption of a resolu- tion proposing that a communication be sub- mitted to the Kiowas, Cheyenes and other tribes of the plains, congratulating them upon their friendly relations with the people of the United States and with other Indian tribes, reassuring them of the continued friendship and fraternal regard of their brothers, the Confederated Tribes of the Indian Territory, and of the necessity of abstaining Irom all acts of hos- tility toward each other and the peopie or the United States, and of the determination of the General Council to intercede for the early libera- uon of the chiefs Santanta and Big Tree, The latter clause of the resolution is based on & preamble stating that the strict observance and exercise of good falth is indispensable to the perpetuity of peace and good will between nations, as well as individuals, and that certain condition having been complied with by the Kiowa Indians, this government should redeem the promise made to them, contemplating the early pardon and lib- eration of their chiefs, The Secretary of the Interlor to-day received from the War Department a copy of an omMeral let- ter addressed by Captain G. K. Anderson, of the Eleventh infantry, to the Assistant Adjutant Gen- eral of the Department of Te? in which, under the date of Fort Sill, Indian Territory, May 2, he says:—‘Tam of the opinion that both the Kiowas and Comanches are still on their proper reserva- tions, and I can hear of no marauding parties having gone out, The promised release of Santanta and Big Tree may be the prime motive of their peaceful status, but, if as reported, the general govern- | ment hesitates to carry out the promised release of these men by the 20th of May (that being the time | set), | think the Kiowas will probably bo heard from. It is certainly a mistaken policy to make such @ promise and not keepit. They anxiousiy | look forward to their release, and have good reason | to expect it. 1f the promise is not kept Lt doubt if they will keep their pledge of continued good be- havior.”” The Apaches on the Warpath, SAN FRANCISCO, June 12, 1873, Advices from Arizona state that on Monday last @ band of Apache Indians started southward, probably intending to invade Sonora, Mexico, Another band is besieging Santa Cruz, in Sonora, five miles over the border, Among WEATHER REPORT.
