Milwaukee, May 11. The recent rate war on lumber and freiglit to Missouri river points lias been brought to a close. An agreement existed between all the lines reaching the Missouri river that the rate shomd bo fifteen cents per hun dred on carload lots, on which basis Iowa would be twelve cents. Under a misapprehension the Chicago & North western cut the rate from Clinton to Council Bluffs, taking lumber at eight cents, doiu thi3 from the supposition that the Milwaukee & St. Paul had prev iously cut the rate to nine cents. This coming toother Chicago lines, Commis sioner Medfrey ordered a reduc tion in the regular rates from Chicago to river points from fifteen to eleven cents. Pro tests from the Iowa trunk lines associa tion reculted in an agreement to-day. Kansas lines have not yet restored rates, but will probably, on Monday. V. S. MARSHAL. INDICTED.

THliIU HIDING PLACE DISCOVERED. Sax Francisco. May 11. A Chroni cle Ilermosileo, Mexico, special saya Col. Torres returned last night from the Sierra Madres. He haa been pur suing the Apaches for twentj days on a trail wi.ioU led to the Montezuma district, iu northeastern Sonora. At Guazonar he was joined by Col. Gar cia, and there made a forced march of five days and nights for the hills in the Sierra Madres. Scouts spied the Indians moving off. Twenty-five scouts have found a large body of Indians in a stronghold heretofore unknown to the oldest scout. The Indians have the appearance of having been settled three or four years. They had a quan tity of stolen stock, and a number of old huts. The scouts weie attacked and driven back to the main body of the troops. The mountain being in accessible for cavalry, the troops dis mounted and made a march of twelve miles, and found the Indians strongly intrenched in the crest of a large spur of the high mountains. The troops, 300 strong, madean attack. They had to climb the mountain on their hands and knees, The Indians failing to do harm by filing, rolled boulders down the mountain side without effect. The chief, supposed, to be Juh had stationed himself on a high point of the moon tain to command tlie Indians. His voice could be heard distinctly for mile.. It took two hours for the troops to gain the crest of the moun tain. When they reached it two were shot dead. The fight on the summit lasted two hours. Swinging around to the left of the Indians, they made an attack with bayonets, and forced them from their position. The Indiana fled, leaving eleven dead bucks on the field. Fivo soldiers were killed and eight seriously wounded. The Indiaimwere driven for miles. Their trail showed much blood. A great many are sup posed to have been wounded. Torres says it was the most savugn fight ever made with the Apaches. They were armed with repeating rifles. The Apaches retreated to northeastern Chi huahua. Col. Tories thinks thero is no doubt that the much was the long unknown stronghold of the Apaches. It is ISO miks east of Sonora, and about the same distance from the Aiizona border. He says that the trails of all the small bauds depredat ing in Sonora and Arizona leads to this place. The troops returned to G nay mas. WASHINGTON NEWS. Tlie Chid Clerk Kcsigncd.
