Reported Fight at Fort Pitt.

A Battleford Special Of the Goth says: Scouts
from Pitt report finding it abandoned badly
wrecked An Indian told them there had been
a fight and two police were killed, and that the
police and others in the fort had taken to boats
in the hope of reaching Battleford They have
been out five days, and should have been here
long ago. It looks as if the whole party
had been captured or killed from the
river banks. Besides the police under
Inspector Dickens, We're Factor Nc
Lean, of the Hudson Bay company, and family
of eight, and James Simpson, Stanley Simpson,
W B. Cameron and Dufresne, employees, Rev
c. Quinn and wife, Mr. and Mrs Mann and
three children, Alfred Quinn and several others
The story of the escapeIs extremely improbable
as it is not likely such q large party would be
driven out of the fort and allowed to escape
The Indians stated that Riel threatened TO take
BIttleforl SON. Troops were promised for
our relief three weeks ago, but none have as
yet turned up. The river is low.

L b. PARROT, the Guatelnalan consul OF this

which Barrios was KILLED vas between one
battalion of the Guatemalan troops and a much
larger body of San SRlvalefeans. Barrios
gave the order TO attack but nd advance

with two of his officers when this information
was brought to him On the refusal of both
these officers TO assume command he left the
tent and while proceeding to the front of the
column he was intending 10 lead he was shot
by sharpsho01er from tree. The bullet en-
tered his right shoulder, passed through his
heart, and out through the loft side. Mean
while the battle had commenced and in short
while both sides withdrew from the battle field

NEW YORK, April IS. Business on the Stock Exchange was very dull to- day. Some stocks were fractional1y better, some fractionally worse.

Manhattan Consolidated had at one time special rise of it's own but failed to hold it at the end. In fact all the western prop critics were feeble upon reports of fresh cutting of rates and general tumble to prices of the Iowa pool Information is that the squabble between Pacific Mail and the transcontinenta railroads will shortly be satisfactorily arranged. Mr.. Huntington is reported to intimate that the Central Pacific road will not offer any captious objection to the pro posed settlement.
