ENDEAVOR BUSINESS
WON'T BE MoNoPOLIzED BY THE
UNION PACIFIC
The Rio Grande Western Reaching
Out for Mining Business-The
Steamship Rate War

CHICAGO, June 24-The Union Pa
cific notified its connections that all bust
ness ticketed to Utah and Colorado
points at reudced rates made on account
tof the Christian Endeavor convention
in San Francisco must be turned over
to it at the Missouri river, as it will not
accept the business at any other point
on it's lines. The announcement means
that it is determined to have the long
haul on all the business that may be
going to these points but as nearly all
the points in Utah and Colorado to which
excrsionists would care to go are COM
mon points, the other roads say there is
not much likelihood Of the Union Pacific
getting much additional business on
account Of the action it has taken.
AFTER MINING BUSINESS

ing to the Rio Grande Western the rich
mining district in and about Park City,
and of giving the Western the advantage
of the liberal franchises in and about
Salt Lake City.
The Rio Grande Western has been
desirous Of extending its line so that
1t can carry the rich ores of the Park to
Colorado, where they are demanded, and
gain the traffic, or part Of it, that the
Union Pacific has had almost entirely
up to the present. The purchase in
cludes branches up Red Butte and Emil
grant canyons The amount paid has
not vet been made public, although it is
thought to be no small sum. 1

been served by the police department.
The remainder of the day was consumed
in hearing the arguments on this point.
The defense claimed that the police
department was not the proper one to
serve summonses for Jurors, because
they are not unprejudiced as to the guilt
or innocence Of the accused. The mat
ter was not decided, and Justice Nor
rison reserved his decision until Satur-

A GREAT BATTLE.
The Spaniards Claim to Rave Beaten
the Re6eis With Great
Loss.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. GA special
to the Herald from Havana says: A big
battle occurred on October 1 in Cana
rones Hills, near Matanzas, between the
Spanish forces under General Molina and
rebels under command of Betancourt,
SanguiIy and Raoul Arrange. The fight
continued all day.
The official report published here states
that Molina attacked their position and
drove the rebels out with great loss. Re-
ports state that General Molina had his
horse shot from under him.
The Herald's correspondent in Maian-
Zas has obtained an account of the fight
from Spanish officer who was present.
From this 1T appears that the rebel in
fantry were strongly in renched in an
almost inaccessible position in the hills
and all efforts to dislod ,e them were futile,
resulting only in heavy losses for the at
tackIng forces. The insurgents had oniy
a few men killed, and jeered and tauuted
the Spanish during the whole engage
ment.
General Molina narrowly escaped death.
Enraged at his failure he returned to the
attack next day, but with no better success.
l. large number OF wounded and dying
Spanish soldiers were brought into Ma
Ianzas.
General JimeneZ Castellanos left Puerto
Principe on September 25 with heavy
