The latest couiler from Kangcly brings re
liable Information that Instead of two whites
being killed , as at first reported , thcro were
five whites killed and four wounded , and
seven Indians and two squaws killed and
five wounded. 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.

KANOKLY , Colo. , August 29. [ By Courier
to Glenwood Springs. ) The situation hero
Is unchanged ns far ns war features nre con
cerned. The Indians nro still In force on
the battle ground near the 'reservation , with
lookouts on surrounding peaks. About 200
ponies wore captured by the boys , but about
100 of them have been run off. Some ot them
were claimed by Mexicans , who were allowed
to itake thorn away. Major Lesllo and
Sheriff Kendall are holding their position ,
waiting for reinforcements , supplies and am-
nnltlon. It Is thought the Indians will not
make an attack unless the command under
take to retreat with the ponies ,
A prominent olllcer of Camp Adams writes
as follows : "As near as lean judge the war
has now fairly begun. The Utos will cathcr
from 700 to 800 warriors and will raid the
country , fighting to the bitter end. "
An ofllcer ot the United States army who
saw our boys at lUugoly , says , "Only
* squaws , old men and pappooses are left on
either reservation. The bucks are all with
Colorow. "
Crook and Agent Byrnes will join Gov
ernor Adams at Meeker on Wednesday. It
they expect to arrange for the delivery of
Colorow and the two Indicted Indians on
any terms their mission will bo a fruitless

Nr.W YOIIK , August 29. The Scotch cutter
Thistle , which Is to contest for the America's
cup , took her first trial spin in those waters
to-day , and her sailing qualities were shown
to ba very fine. The wind was Inconstant
and the entire cup course was not gone over ,
but , with a good breeze , her time was taken
over certain known portions of the route
and from this It Is calculated that she can
cover thn entire course In about four hours ,
which Is faster than the beat time made by
either the Mayflower or Puritan.
The Troubles at Havana.
NicwYoiiK , August 29. Cubans in this
city do not think there Is any far-reaching erIn
In any sense Important uprising In Havana.
J. M. Cauallos , ot the Spanish Trans-Atlantic
company , said that one of his steamships left
that city on the 24th , and on that date there
was no trouble there. Tno populace was
aware that Acting Governor ( fonerul Marln
was determined to deal with corrupt em
ployes of the custom house after the most
summary fashion and the chief dissatisfac
tion existed among those persons and such
merchants as Imve. prohted by thu Illicit im
portation of goods. The volunteer soldiers
of Cuba aie almost exclusively composed ot
native Spaniards who are In parfect harmony
with the policy of the government. When
General Marin seized the stores In the duana
many persons were Incommoded , and Indig
nant at not receiving their property , may
have Incited a few persons to riot , but the
disturbance can be In no sense Important.

Railroads May use the Sldo Tracks of
Rival Companies.
Dp.sMoiNUS , la. , 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

in 188-1 , further examination having shown
that these Dubuqua tracks have not private

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. The Hawaiian islands must
not pass Into European hands. "

Ho Thinks the Great Hue and Cry
That lias Been Raised Is the
Result of Great Over
production.
The Dressed Uopf Kick.
CiitOAoo , August 29. [ Special Telegram
to the BKK. | "Tho prices of beef at retail
with us , " said Mr. P. D. Armour when a re
porter asked him It It were true that the
dressed beef men and railroads were scoopIng -
Ing In all the prnllts In the trade , leaving the
cattle raisers , the retail butchers and the poor
consumer ? out In the cold , "tho retail prices
are a great deal lover than thov used to bo.
We sell meat at our retail stole at the stock
yards much cheaper than formerly , and I
guess every other man in t.ho trade is doing
he same. This hue and cry slmuly comes
ut of the overproduction of cattle , as may be
, voll attested by looking at the receipts of
tattle at the stock yards. 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

Lansdowne , governor general of Canada , de
claring the report that Sir John Macdonald
had said that ho would not hesitate to nsk aid
from the Imperial tioops to stop the construc
tion of the Manitoba railroad to bn a pure falsi
fication. 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

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

that the act of congress creating the com

VIEWS OF A LEADING DEMOCRAT *
United States Consul Ilttrchnrd Mnkcf '
Homo Interesting Uoports On the ,
Condition or Honduras Wash
ington Mows.
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.
