Of thii number of people upon the wrecked boat it does not appear that any lives wen lost f x- cept but thnt of the pilot , although It is possi ble ! that ooino of the passengers were waehe-d elf end lest , without any ono knowing of the fatal circumstances.

BV THE OATILSJIKK WASHIXQTON , August 3A dolepation rep relenting the cattlemen holding losses in th Cheyenne nnd Arapahoe country called upon the secretary of the interior this afternoon and sttttod that compllaaca with the terms o the president proclamation , ordering sum mary removal of cattle from the reservations would bo disastrous to their interests. Th quarantine regulations of Kansas ant ] Color ado against Texas cattle ) directly affected ono- quarter of their entire possessions. Thui there was no placs to which theao cattle could bo driven except southward into Texas and Texas was already stocked to its utmos capacity. The quarantine regulntioua o Kansas and Colorado would permit move ments of cattle alter the 1st of December but grass would then bo unfit for pasturage , and the cattle would starve. The delegation declared their willingness nnd oven their de situ to remove their cattle as soon as it can bs done without riik of serious disaster. If the time could bo extended until next Apr ! for beginning the movement , giving them until the lit uf July to complete it , they would be nblo to remove alt thtir Block , amounting to 250.0LO head , They ropro- icntod briefly that many interests in all parts of tha country wera related inti rantely to cittlo Interests and were liable to ba affected by any sweeping dicaater which should fall upon the cattlemen. Thay set forth that they believed they were un paged In legitimate business enterprise , when they invested their money and felc that the ) ware entitled to such consideration as woulc bo acceded to other business interests. Thcj discussed their relations with the Indians , which they asserted were friendly , anc it wai a great surprise to them to loam thai they were supposed to be tha authors of the Indian troubles , Theio wererenegadolndians men who had never been upon the reserva tions who were responsible for sorno difficul ties , but they were a very small percentage ol tribes , and with tha majority , the cattlemen were on the best of terms Secretary Lanur listened attentively ant osked questions from time to time , but in view of the fact that tha delegation is to have au interview with the president to-morrow , ho expressed no opinion ou the subject.
