The delay of the Secretary of the Navy in writing out his report of the Polaris investigation, ad- dressed to the President, is owing to the large mass of testimony to be first carefully considered.

The recent proceedings with regard to the return of the Kickapoo Indiahs to the United States are in accordance with the action of the Mexican government and our own in April of lastyear. For the realization of the project it was suggested that the government of the United States appoint new agents and advise the government of Neuva Leon of the time and place on the frontier where the agents would present themselves to the Indians, The government of Mexico would, in such a case, provide that the authorities who represent it in that region should take part in the conierences, and {f the Indians should freely determine to leave Mexico, to settle on their own reservation in the United States, the Mexican military forces would escort them to the point on the froatier where the American troops might receive them. The Mexi- can government further advised that the agents to treat with the Indians bo persons other than those who made the former attempt, in order to avoid reviving the suspicions and prejudices against those persons which might exist in the minds of the Indians, and the Mexican government prom- ised that none of its authorities accused of being opposed te the removal of these indians should have any part in the execution of the plan sug- gested, No End of Big Talks With the Indians. Anong the proceedings of the General Council of the Indian Territory, recently assembled at Okmulgee, was the adoption of a resolution that a delegation of one member of the General Council from the Choctaws, one from the Creeks and one irom the Cherokees, together with such others ag the President of the Council may appoiut, to be instructed to procced as early as practicable to the Cheyennes, Kiowas and other tribes of the Plains not confederated in the General Vounci hose duty it shail be ¢3 tid fn the taalntonaned of peace upon the frontier; and that in the event it is deemed adyisable by the authorities of the United States, that a delegation from the Cheyennes, Kiowas and others, as may be selected, proceed to the city of Washington; that the President of the Council be requested to add two members of the General Council to such delegation, whose duty it shall be to accompany the same and aid in the es- tablishment of such relations between the said tribes and the United States as may be most con- ducive to the formation of permanent peace upon the frontier, and to confer as fully as practicable with tue authorities of the United States upon Indian Affairs and to report to the adjourned session of the General Council. Decision by the Spanish-American Com- mission. Before the American and Spanish Commission, in the case of William Dudley Foulke, administrator of Eduardo and guardian of Maria and Emma Cisneros, the arbitrators decided that Eduardo and Maria have no claim before the Commission, inas- much as they are not citizens of the United States; but as to the justice of the claim of Emma the arbitra*ors are opposed in opinion. The case, as far as the latter is concerned, was consequently submitted to the umpire for decision. Maria was born in Cuba in 1868, and has resided in New York since 1869, but Emma was born in New York in 1870, where she now resides. The claim 1s for $18,v00, being the value of property detained by the government of Cuba from the claimant, The Case of the British Ship Springbok Before the Mixed Commission. Mr. Forbes Campbell, from England, is shortly expected in this city. He will represent before the Mixed Commission the owners of the British ship Springbok, which was seized without search by a United States cruiser, on suspicion of being a blockade runner, and condemned as prize of war, along with her valuable cargo. The vessel was subsequently restored to her owners, but the cargo definitely confiscated. The claimants undertake to prove beyond a doubt that the sole and bona Ade destination of the Springbok and her cargo Was the neutral port of Nassau, and that she was seized on the unsupported information supplied by spies in the service of the Umted States govern- ment. Itis now for the Mixed Commission to de- cide what compensation, if any, shall be awarded for the confiscated cargo, which is vaiued at £64,000, Our New Minister to Japan. Hon. John A.

A Tragedy in the Eleventh Ward— Stabbed and Instantly Killed=—“I Am Done For. At fifteen minutes past nine o'clock last evening three men—James Duffy, Mike O’Brien and a party Known as “Pete’’—went into the liquor store kept by Patrick Hughes, at the corner of Goerck and Houston streets, and called for ale. This was furnished, and, while drinking tt, the men began quarrelling about some old personal affair. Duffy and “Pete” stripped off their coats and were about to proceed to blows, when Hughes stepped out from behind the counter and told them they must put their coats on and quit their quar- reliing or LRAVE THE HOUSE. They chose the first alternative, donned their coats, and, shaking hands all round, called for more ale. Four or five glasses had been drank when the old quarrel broke .out anew, and again Duffy and “Pete” were determined to fight tt out. In the midst of the wrangling aman by the name of Smith, accompanied by Edward Curtiand, alias Cur- tis, entered and called for drinks, They drank twice each, after which Curtland stepped over to where “Pete,'’ Dufy and O’Brien were quarrelling and asked them why in h—I they could not keep quiet, Duffy turned to Curtiand and demanded to know waat he had to do with them, HIGH WORDS FOLLOWED for several minutes, and finally Durty dealt Curt- land two or three severe blows in the face, Hughes, who was behind the bar, hurried around for the purpose of quelling the disturbance, and when within afew feet of tht combatants saw Curt- id stab Duffy. He instantly cried out, “Duly, you stab! ) ang sprang iorward to catch hoid 0; him; aes 1 ivan reach him, fh woundes man fell heavily to the floor, Hugh raised his head and asked him if he was badly hurt, where- upon he said, “Yes, 1am done for,” and instautly Mee ‘he moment Curtland stabbed, and before his vic- tim’s body had sunken to the floor, he bounded wildly out of the door and in an instant more was out of sight, Hughes went into the street and cried “Murder!” several times, but Duty's two Iriends—‘‘Pete” and O’Brien—fNed as soon as they saw the first blow struck, and ata late hour last night had not been found. Omicers soon arrived on the scene and arrested Hughes and a party known as Edward McCullough, who chanced to be present at the time the cutung was done, The murdered man's body was re- moved to the Eleventh precinct station house, where it was viewed by a score or more reporters. The wound which caused his death is high up on the right breast and is about an inch and # quar- ter i Courtland, it is alleged, is a notorious character and is wellknown to the police ef the Eleventh precinct, who feel contident of their ability to effect his arrest. His residence is not definitely known, but he is said to occupy rooms somewhere in the Thirteenth ward. ‘The murdered man was a laborer employed in a lumber yard in Houston street kept by a man by the name of Young. BRAINED WITH A HATCHET. A Man’s Head Mashed In by His Brother-in-Law. At two o’clock yesterday morning John Sharkey hit James Curtin on the head with a large hatchet, inflicting a wound which will, in all probability, result fatally. The particulars of the sad afair are as follows:—James Curtin, his wife, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and two brothers-in-law, one of whom is John Sharkey, who inflicted the wound, live together in the tenement bause, No, 24 Oak street. Curtin went to the houso a little alter one o'clock yesterday morning and sent Sharkey out for some liquor. On its being procured all hands drunk heartily aad were soon in an extremely hilarious condition, Curtin and his wife had some words, during the progress of which Sharkey picked up @ hatchet and hit Cur- tin on the back of the head. The wound was an ugly one and the blood flowing from i, soon com- pletely enveloped the injured man and trickled down upon the floor. Those about him did what they could for his relief; but as they were all more or less under the influence of liquor this amounted to but little. Although greatly fright ened Curtin at first did not think he was very se- riously injured, but in the course of half or three- quarters of an hour his head began to pain greatly and, as there was no medical as- sistance to be had near at band, he walked over to the Park Hospital, where he was given a bed and his wound properly cared for, Alter his en- trance to the hospital he began gradually to sink, and during the afternoon became so much worse that .the house surgeon feared he would die very soon. The wound proved to be @ compound iracture of the skull ana, know- ing No time was to be lost, the surgeon sent word to the Fourth precinct station house, 80 that the parties to the transaction might be arrested. A de- tective Was at once sent out to look for Sharkey, whom be found without much dificuity, Heisa Mere lad o. sixteen, and is said to be half witted. His version of the affair is the same as that given above, and the injured man admitted to the surgeon at the hospital that he was quarreling with his me and that they bad all been drinking very freely, A BEVOLTING WIFE MURDER. A Man Stabs His Wife Five Times. Some five months ago Francis Gillen, a steam fitter, who lives at 131 Mulberry street, was married to a young woman whose first name ;8 Ellen, but whose sir name could not be ascertained last night. For some cause, as yet unexplained, the two men lived together. Shortiy after eleven o’clock last night Gillem met his wife in Crosby street, near Broome, where she was walking With a iriend. He gtopped, and, after conversing for a few moments asked her to walk up Broome street with him. She did so, and when near Mott street he drewa knile and stabbed her five times in the breast.

The story told by Wagner in nis examination yesterday evidently had a favorable effect upon the audience and jury, The biistere on his hands he says Were occasioned by sculling a boat a few days before the murder. He gave a minute description of the shirt that he leit at Portsmouth. He was then shown a shirt that a Government witness had found in the vault, and Wagner said le never owned one like it. The foreman of the jury tried to meet the wristband around Wagner's wrist, but failed by over halfaninch. Wagner continued to meet the goverument testimony, breaking down some of it.

JACK’S FLIGHT AND CAPTURE The Great Services by the Warm Spring In- dians and Their Ill-Treatment. Captain Fairchild’s Successful Stroke of Policy. HEADQUARTERS MODOC ARMY, BoY.n’s Camp, June 6, 1873. The close of this tragedy of war appears to de- @enerate into a farce, so rapidly has the little Modoc force disappeared when one? pressed to the wall, First came the surrender of the Hot Creek Indians (sixteen in number), and this broke the backbone of the rebellion. Captain Fairchild pro- posed taking four of those who had surrendered— Bogus Charley, baa dim, Shack-Nagty Jim aga Steamboat frank—and by their ald to discover the hiding place of the Medocs. General Davis at once acted on this suggestion, and on the 26th he, Captain Fairchild, three soldiers, your cor- respondent and the four Modocs started from Fairchtld’s, riding around the lake, and reaching our present camp on the day following. On the 27th the Modocs were sent out, returning on the 28th, reporting the camp of Captain Jack tobe on William Creek, twenty miles east of this place. The commands of Captain Hasbrouck and Colonel Jackson left camp on the 29th, your correspondent accompanying them. Arriving near the supposed camp the command divided, one wing going down the right hand bank, the other on the left. Owing to miscalculating the distance Colonel Jack- son's command reached the place first, SURPRISING THE MODOCS, who all fled across the creck about halfa mile in advance of Hasbrouck’s command. Boston, who murdered Dr. Thomas, surrendered. Seven squaws, including Mary, Jack’s sister, were cap- tured, with several horses and mules. The troops wentinto camp, and Boston went out and attempted to find his fleeing people, but without success. On the following morning the trail was taken up and followed all day. First it led to the west, then north, then seuth, making three sides of a square, over high rocky ridges, covered with huge pines, where an animal could not step without treading on a rock; and still the four Mo- docs and Warm Spring Indians followed the trail as unerringly as hounds after game. After riding about twenty-five miles, just as we reached the head of Langell Valley, on Lost River, a few were seen In the bluffs, The command was halted and an effort was made to have a talk with the Modocs, but they fled, A CHARGE was made, and the command swept down around the blufs into the valley, reaching a slope where they could ascend to the bluffs, and headed the fu- gitives off. The sun was just going down, and the Indians seeing they were about to be corralled, threw up the sponge at once. Scar-Faced Charley came into our lines, gave up his gun and sald he would fight no more. He wanted to see John Fairchild, but that person was scouting some miles away. Colonel Green, who commanded the expedition, told Charley to go back and bring in his family and all that wanted to surrender at once, or he should charge them at once, As Charley returned, Dr. Cabannis, who was with the little party which had started to head the Modocs off, but was then at a halt, went along with Charley and talked with Captain Jack and the others, Of course the troops could not move against the Modocs with him in their midst, andas darkness was coming on the troops filed down on to Lost River and went into camp for the night, After a while Dr. Cabannis returned with ‘Mose,’ nd the message that THE MODOCS WOULD COME IN In the morning, but were allowed to come through the lines in the night. On the following morning Scar-Face Charley and nine others came in, mak- ing eleven Modocs we had taken. Several squaws came along also. Charley expected that Captain Jack and his companions had run away. The day was spent in an effort to find them, and the day following the commands scattered around searching for the fugitives. The scene of the cap- ture was about fifteen miles from where we started them up the day previous, On the 1st Colonel Perry’s command, which had joined the expedition, was on the trail, his Warm Spring Indians following it back near to the camp on William Creek. A Warm Spring discov. ered one of Jack’s scouts, stole upon him and dis- armed him, He promised to show them where Jack was, and the Warm Springs soon had that doughty warrior in their hands, Warm Spring George had command of the aetachment of Warm Springs, but Bow-Legged Charley, We-na-shit and Carpola were the ones who were “in at the death.’ CAPTAIN JACK AND THE OTHERS WERE CAPTURED HERE, We now had Captain Jack, Chief Schonchin, Bos- ton—the murderers of the Peace Commissioners— and Scar-Faced Charley, their engineer and general. Still twelve men Were out, and the soldiers contin- ued the scout, On the 2d dour more were taken by the Oregon volunteers. The remainder are ex- pected daily, and will probably be found at Yainox, Bogus Chariey and Jim have been sent to hunt them up, and, when found, the last of this desper- ate band will be in captivity. From this rapid re- view your readers can see the situation of affairs and THE END OF THE MODOC WAR. The prisoners are all here, Captaia Jack, Schon- chin, Boston and others being shackled. What will be done with them I know not, but think they will be hung. The Warm Springs will go home in a few days, their time being outon tne 10th, They will not re-enlist, even in tne event of hostilities with other tribes. They have been treated rather badly, They say they have been on many scouts, but never have received such bad treatment before, ‘They were promised grain for their horses and also tae shoeing of them, but, like many other promises, they were notkept. Donald says the Wascan-pins—about one-third of his command—can enlist again if they want to, but the Warm Springs would not. To these people really belongs THE CREDIT OF CLOSING THE WAR, for witheut their skill it would have been impossi- ble to have hunted the Modocs down. There is one man who deserves especial credit—Captain John Fairchild, By the stroke of policy which brought into use the captured Modocs, and by his untiring energy in the pursuit of the wily foe, and through his knowledge of the country and the Indians, his services have been mvyaluable, Cool and brave, possessing the confidence of the Indians, lhe could succeed in persuading them to surrender when all others would have failed, Still, few army men Would feel inclined to give him the credit he de- serves, though the civilians know and appreciate his worth, * The Captive Bucks Return Property of their Victims—Boston Charley Ex- onerated. SAN FRANCTSCO, Cal.., June 15, 1873, The following despatch has been received here :— Boyte's Camp, Tule Lake, June 12, 1873, This afternoon the Modocs sent for Dr. Cabaniss and requested a second interview, in order that further facts relative to the missing articles, orna- ments and wearing apparel, might be made known. Black Jim acknowledged that he stole $18 irom Mr, Meacham, and passed in the amount. Boston | Charley said he bad Mr, Meacham’s pistol hidden anaer a rock, and would retorn it if he had € chanoe., Mr. Meacham’s memorandum book wag destroyed by aquaws, Steamboat Frank said he knew where the coat and vest of Dr. Thomas were and they could be obtained in half a day, The rev’, erend gentleman's gold watch was carried off by the Warm Spring tadians, Lieutenant Cranston’ ring was lost. ‘The leading braves, including Captain Jack, aai@ that thirty or forty shots were fired daring the massacre of the Peace Commissioners, and actively shifted the responsibility of the murder from one to another. All agreed, however, that Bogus Char- ley did not participate tn the massacre, and frou first to last condemned it a3 an unfair and unsafe proceeding. Pending the arrival of orders from General Schofield regarding the disposition of the California troops, no decision as to imme diate movements has been obtained. The firs] account, sent by mail, though official, of the num. ber of captives, is inaccurate, reduced to 156, A SKULL-CRACKING AFFRAY IN NEWARK, The total should be John Beck and James Connor, the latter a stripe ling of abou! nineteen, both residents of No. SheMeld street, Newark, had an altercation om Thursday ‘last, which ended without serious consequences, On Saturday it was renewed, — however, and this time with results most Unfortunate, James had just returned from Elizabeth, whore he is employed, and was convers- ing with his mother regarding a warrant that Beok had procured for his arrest on the former fracas, when Beck appeared, armed with a pistol, Mrs. Connor says. ‘The — ‘el was reopened, and in & scuflle that ensued Beck was pushed or fell dowa the 'basement stairs, He struck heavily on hia head and sustained a fracture of the skull.
