TRINIDAD, Col. Aug. 4.-Last night
there was a cloud burst in the hills
above Berwind and the water came
down the canyon leading to that
place in such volume that
party of Eve persons, who were
caught, were swept away and
drowned. G. Cando, the mail
carrier between Cnicosa station
and Berwind, on the arrival of the
Gulf train from Denver at Chicosa, Sc
cured an Italian miner, wife and two
children, a boy and girl, as passen-
gers for Berwind. They had just en-
tered the canyon when the storm
came upon them. and SO quickly came
the rush of water that they were un-
able to escape. A searching party at
once started out and by evening most
of the bodies had been recovered.

?, 1885 a. H., says:
The preamble Of an imperial edict
just issued recites China's claims in
Corea. its hundreds Of years suzer-
ainty of that country and the constant
assistance it has rendered the vassal
king to subdue rebeIlions.
China, it continues, recently sent
forces to Corea with this object in
view. Japan, without rights, also
sent troops and refused to Withdraw
them. She has further sunk a trans
port carrying Chinese soldiers, and
her action has been condemned BY
other powers
The emperor places all the mil
itary authorities under Vieeroy Ii
Hung Chang, who will protect the
rights Of the empire. He also orders
the capture and destruction of Jap
anese ships wherever found
1t is prob bic that a copy Of the
edict will be communicated to the
