The whites killed are Lieu tenant Folsom of Aspen. Jack Ward of Deputy Slier I It Kendall's party , a long-haired railway laborer , known as "Wild Hill" or "Curly , " who was picked up at Ulenwood and furnished with arms , and two ranchmen cowboys who joined the troops and whoso names are as yet unknown. The Indians killed are thought to be three Uncomuahgrej and four \Vhlto river Utes. The most heroic act of the battle , aside from the general bravery ot the troops , should bo credited to an UncompaliKro known as "Uus. " Ho had squaw and pappooso when the battle began and In the first rush they became separated and in the course ot the first half hour were more than a mile from him down the ravine * The man , who had been advising Colorow of the progress of the fight , saw his squaw and pappooso appear nt the extreme east end of the lines , 'the poor creature , with the little Indian clasped in her arms , was screaming and running wildly about , terrified beyond description. The Indian caught sight of her , and although the battle was raging fiercely , he put sours to his pony and dashed down the ravine In the face of a perfect storm of bullets. At least 300 shots wore fired at him but ho never flinched , and reaching the squaw ho leaned over and pulled her on the horse , galloppod half a mile further on with hid burden and after placing her on the ground oi't of dan ger rode back to the top of the bluff. When ho reached the summit ho was .seen to reel and a moment later fell dead. As far as can bo learned of the origin of the fight , the Indiana and troops did not really expect It. The Indians wore anxious to cct tho'.r sqnaws and 303 ponies out of the way. The troops under Leslie and Pray wernsimplv reconoltcrlng the position of the Indians , who were gathering their stock together. The flag of truce was still flying and Captain Pray says that he would not have violated It. The Indians had started todrlvo their ponies up the ravine when Kendall's party came up and started after them. The Indians took to the hills and began to Urn. Then the battle began and for nearly eight hours continued unabated. Captain Pray came in to-day with his command to report. Ho says the White river Colorow , for whom the warrant was Issued , and the Uncorapnhcro Colorow were both present , and ho has conversed with the former. The Whl to Illver Colorow Is an old man nearly 70 years of ago , wrinkled and fat. He Is almost deaf and his sight im paired. In conversation with Pray he denied his desire to tight , but said that it the white man did not go back there would bo n big fight , and that ho could get "heap White river , heap Uncompahgro and heap Navao ] Indians" who were youne and wanted to fight. All who come in say that the troops need aid , and Thomas , the courier who came In this morning , says that the situation at Kangely Is critical. There has been no fight ing since Thursday , bat COO Indians are re ported to bo within six miles of thorn ready to light. The loss of their squaws and ponies has made them wild , and they will Reek revenge. The ranchmen have taken their families to Uangelv. TUB WAK FAiitr.r unauN. KANOKLY , Colo. , August 29.

The railroad commissioners this morning rendered n de cision In the Dubuqua case , on complaint of the Dubuque board ot trade , in behalf of merchants , millers , da ! . The complaintro- cited that the Chicago" , Milwaukee & St. Paul and Illinois Central roads , which have ac quired most of the available space In tbo city for side tracks , refused to switch the cars ot the Burlington , Cedar liaplds A Northern , and Minnesota & No rtuwestern roads , which have just entered tl o city , to mills and fac- torlcs for loading , If they are used for freight to competing points nnd raised the swltch- Ing charges to 8 per car for freight to non-competing po nts , thus practically em' ' bargoing several branches of business. The commissioners say the question Is : Are the side tracks of a railroad subject to the same control as the main line ? And they hold that under section 1229 ) of the code all property used for railroad purposes comes within the law , whether It be station houses , side tracks ' or any other Instrumentality tor hauling freight and that under chapter ir > 3 of the laws of the Ninth general assembly rnilioiul companies aio bound to iccelvo all the cars of connecting roads it reasonable rales. The sidings of the Milwaukee and the Illinois Central at Dubuque are publk ; highways , and these companion are required to haul over them cars of all'other companies at rea sonable rates. Tbe reasonable rate for switching Is 91 for one mile , SLSO for two miles and S3 for three miles. The new roads are not relieved , however , from providing suitable terminal facilities for transacting their business. The decision reverses tha1 , In the case ot the Wisconsin , Iowa & Ne braska TS the Chicago & North western given in 188-1 , further examination having shown that these Dubuqua tracks have not private character given them In that case. CHINA AND JAPAN. The Former Country Preparing to Fight Her Island Neighbor. NKW YOIIK , AugurtCy.r- [ Special Telegram to theBEE.I The llirald says : "As related In the Herald's dispatches , a fleet of five Chi nese war ships will sail from Portsmouth , England , for China next Wednesday. They 'onn part of the now navy which China has been accumulating for several yeais. The description given ot them In the London Times shows that they are no moan addl- lens to the naval force of the world. Further , t Is reported on the authority of one of the Chinese commanding officers , that almost Immediately four other armed ships will be ordered built In European dock yards on the most approved model. The question natur ally arises , what Is Chinas purpose In so increasing tier naval strength , as It is not called for by her commerce. There must be n definite offensive object In view. Against whom Is such a movement Intended ? It Is not necessary to look far ther than Japan. Between China and her Island neighbor to the east there has been a deadly feud for years. Japan has been Amoricani/.ed. Our ideas have taken root thoio to nn extent that alarmed the Chinese government lest they spread to the flowery kingdom also. There Is , therefore , further reason why China should wish to humble her old-time rival. Possibly she Is not uninfluenced bva ceitaln jealousy on the part of Great Britain , who looks unon the Americanization of Japan with linvthtng but n friendly eye. When , therefore , China and Japan shall meet In combat lu the Pacific seas our position as a neutral mar call for the display of some force to maintain our rights. It is therefore Important that that half way nouso of the Pacific , Honolulu , should belong to n friendly nation , and not be held by an interested friend of Japan's powerful toe.

It Is like trying to > ut an extra dinner down a man t'tor ho has had a good square meal. The Idea of monopoly and the tremendous refits that the dressed beef man gets Is per- 'ectly ' absurd. The business Is open to any body to go Into It that wants to. There are no patents and no fences up ot any kind. There Is no secret about It , Any one In the , vorld finds It open who wants to go Into It and has all the advantages that wo have. " "It Is claimed that the five lirms now In be trade have n practical monopoly ot it , as the experience of the Marquis Do Mores has taught him. " "He don't seem to have good success In anything except marrying a rich man's daughter , and I believe his father-in-law has shutdown on him now. He just succeeded In that as well as anything else ho has tried , unless It Is bear shooting. I have he.xrd ho was a great success at that. There Is abso lutely nothing to all this outcry. No business In the world tiiat I have had anything to do with , and I hare had something to do with a many , Is run so close as this dicssed good business. It is like weighing gold dust. 1 think the railroads get a better price out of it than anybody else , or than they do out of any other business In the world. Thoie is omethlng in that part of It" "Has the Intel-state law not helped you any In vour ught against the railroads ? " "I don't see that It has done uny good. 1 think we have now a higher rate to pay than before. There Is a suit up before them now. but no decision has boon arrived at. 1 expect it to be areued In Washington In about a month. Senator Edmonds has charge of the case for the dressed beef men. I can not understand why sncli an Idea about the dressed beef men should continue to nmko way. There Is not the least foundation for It In the world. The live cattle men stalled it against the dressed beef men when the tiado lirst commenced , and it has been carried along ever since , and the railroad men lent n wllllnir car to It and helped It along. The railroads have never been friendly to the dressed beef busi ness. They feel that they are drawlue BO many pounds less , and then their mod are Interested In the stock yards all over the lines. All the stock yaids are principally owned by officers of the railway companies and of course It naturally touches their pockets 'and touches the stock yards. All this outcry has a false bottom to It , There in nota particle of MUUKI sense In It. It Is simply a matter of overproduction and noth ing else. There are more cattle coming to mat ket than are wanted. The government Is opening up cheap lands to the people and a great manv cattle are being forced In here prematurely. All this will tell on the cattle trade in a year or two from now and will probably end in tnakin K the prlco very high. Mackay Not in the Wheat Deal. SAX FKANCI.SCO , August SO. John W. Mackay. in nn Interview this morning , re pudiated the statements attributed to him In an Interview printed In Now "York a few days ago In which ho said ho was a large holder of wheat. He said the Nevada bank had loaned a largo amount of money on wheat , but that neither the bank nor its ollt- clals were directly Interested In the deal and ho was wllllnc to throw open his books to show this to be a fact. Up to 11 o'clock this morning no failures of any kind were 10- ported on the street After an hour's ses sion of the call board the parties to whom Drrsbach A Ilosenheld failed to pay the mar gins on wheat which they had promised came in and asked to sell the wheat under the rules of the board. The directors claimed that once having signed an agreement to ac cept Drcbbach'p proposition the old contracts are not affected bv the call board rules. The directors sought legal advice on thn matter , the boi-d in the meantime remaining In formal session. The day passed without any failures , and the feeling on the street this afternoon was that the crisis might pass without serious trouble. Little business was transacted on the call board , the cliiet subject for discus sion being the proper course to bo adopted in the matter of holding delinquents legally responsible. The proposition to refer the matter to the attorney ot the board for his opinion was adopted and proceedings were deferred until It should be obtained. The prolonged session of the oxchnncn was ad journed this nfternoon upon the receipt of n legal opinion that it was not nccessarv to make sales nn account dining the lirst session of the board after notice of suspension was given ns piovidcd , In the by law. This averted for the time being the necessity of marketing under forced sale ovnrlOJ.OOO tons ot wheat , the elfect of which would have bvon disastrous. Security in hand amounting to 0,000 tons , will bn sold nssoon as possible , and the proceeds applied so far as thov will go towards the Dreskh.ich and Ilosenfeld contracts , which have not yet been margined down. The board will meet to-morrow at the usual hour. Alauy brokers and dealers are badlv used up by the crash In pi lens outside ot theli losses dircctlv on old contracts.

Lord Lansdowne also said in his dlsuatch : "Tho provincial net for the con struction ot the Ked Ulver railway was dis allowed by me on the advice of responsible' advisers on the ground that the proposed line would stop the trallic of the Canadian Pacllie railway , and would thereby seriously Injure the interests of the whole country , which had submitted to largo sacrifices in order to unite the provinces by a national road. " In the Commons. LONDON , August 20. In the house of commons this evening on motion to irrant 763,315 for the purpose of completing the credit for the Irish police service , Dillon pro tested against the constant Increase of the police In Ireland. Although the po pulatlon had decreased 300,000 since 18bO , the cost of police service had Increased over 250,000. This waste of public money was not due to crime. A monstrous and corrupt police force was kept up to ovndo the pro visions ot-tho mutiny act by main taining a larger military force than was sanctioned by parliament. The law was not enforced and lents were not collected , and the only elfect of employing police waste to create widespread dissatisfaction and to exasperate the people. IJaltour , chief secretary for Ireland , said ho would not deny that the cost of the police force of Ireland was largely In o\ce s of that of England. Ho asserted that the responsl- dillty for this state of affairs rested on those who wcro doing their best to foment discon tent In Ireland. Sexton said that IIP believed that Ireland was the only country in the world where with steadily decreasing population there ex isted a steadily increasing police force to overawe the ueople. After nine hours' discussion thn vote for the liish constabulary was cairled by 107 to 50. Frnnch Conservatives Denounced , PAISIS , August 2'J.

Dakota it Prohibition Stronghold. WASHINGTON , August 29. [ Special Telat * gram to thoBKK.J Mr. M. 11. Day , the I > a < kola member of the national democratic committee , advances the rather startling theory that if Dakota woio admitted Into th j union ns n state a majority of her citizens would vote the prohibition ticket. HoacH counts for this preponderance of prohibition ontlmcnt on the giound that n largo class of icople In Dakota emigrated fiom the oldel eastern states , where prohibition Is regarded vlth more or loss favor , and to the furthoi act that the Norwegians , who are also very ilcntiful in Dakota , nro almost unanimously1 opposed to ruiiHlilnklng nnd rum-selling. Mr. Day says the proposition to admit the ; errltory ns a state will bo pushed qulto nt vigorously lu the Fiftieth congress ns It was n the last , T. ho people of the territory will told nn election In November to decide as ta the manner In which thu territory shall ba admitted , whether as n whole or In part , ns was urged In the Foity-ntnth congress. Mr. Day thinks congress will no longer refuse .hem admission after the Dakotlans shall lave decided this question. Ho says tin errltory now has n bona fide population ol 600,000 , white other territories have thus fai been admitted when their population had reached 135,000. The Condition of Honduras. WASHINOTON , August 89. | Special Tolo- gram.to the BEK.J The repoit that Consul IJurchard , stationed in Honduras , has gotten the United States Into an unpleasant predlca- ucnt by criticising too freely the morality ot Honduras proves to ba very wide ot the mark. The fact of the matter is that this consul has simply followed his Instructions' and reported to this government just what Im was directed to report , namely , everything oi Interest which came to Ills notico. In obudt- enco to these Instructions , Mr. Biirchard sub mitted various reports. In July , 18bO , he ic ported upon the fruit Industries of the ropul- llc. Ho calls attention to the remarkable growth of this Industry and draws a com * parison between the condition of the people engaged tn fruit growing on tho.so islands and those In the same business on thu main land. Of the Inhabitants of the main land ho says : "They remind 1114 of the mining camps of Call' fornla In the golden years of 1BI9 and 1850 , Money Is plenty and eanlly obtained , but un fortunately It Is used to gratity the lowest vices. Diunkonness , debauchery andgambl Ing piovatl without restraint or limit. Mai" rled mothers and legitimate children ar rare exceptions to thn general lule. A lama proportion of the fruit growers worn original cowboys In the Interior , working on a salary of from § 25 to 840 a year. They nro no\V owners ot plantations nnd have a steady ln come of from 830 to 5300 n month. 'Iho sud den change of fortune , t.o far from being u blessing , is a positive curst1 , both to them * selves and to the community In which they live. The Rovormont of Honduras Is to n certain extent responsible for this doploiable state of disorder and corruption. Do/ens ot icportsasbovoro or even more severe than , this have been sent In by our consuls , but as a rule they do not find their way into print. " Some years ago one ot the consuls sta < tloned In Austria sent a report upon the Im morality existing in ono province of the om plro. To give hu report the most weight ha embraced In It n couy of the vital statistic ! report of the province. This report showed that out of every lilteen children born seven nnd n fraction were illlKitimato. Thu report was published in the regular monthly puhll * cations of the state department and In spita of the fact that It was a transcription of thef official documents of the Austiinn govern ment , It caused a gient deal of trouble. Tlia outcome was that nn amendment was added to the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill ot 1834 which piovides that thereafter the published consular icports should not contain anything of a "paitlsan , political , moinl or rolU'lous nature. " This reporter. Burchnrd's should never have been printed. It was not written for publication , but solely for the information of the state department. Ordinarily , great care Is exoiclsed over the preparation of matter for publication in the consular reports. They pass through the hands or throe officials be- toro they are sent to the printer. It happened that tills paitlcular repoit was received dur ing the absence ot tweet the three In August of last year. It Is not likely that the depart ment will take any notice of the matter un less asked to do so by the government oC Honduras. Thu consul simply did his duty and the blunder rests with the officers In the department , who Imd charge ot the publica tion. But as the consul will have to bear the brunt of thu blame among the people of tle : republic. It may bo that his position will ba such that he will be glad to resign. Ho was appointed In IST'.i.and draws n Mahay of 81.0001 n year. Ho Is also engaged in business foe himself. Origin of the War. I WAsiiiNmoN , Auuust 29.
