sTOCKYAHDs DECISION
Handed Down in the Chicago Case
by the Commerce Commission.

Handed Down in the Chicago Cass
by the Commerce Commission.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1O.-The interstate
commerce commission today announced its
decision in the case involving the legality OF
the charge of 81 per car imposed as a ter
minal charge at Chicago for delivering live
stock at the Union stock yards in that city.
Live stock shipped to Chicago is necessarily
delivered for marketing the tracks of the
Stock Yards company, which connect the
various lines of the defendants with its yards
For many years the defendants have per-
formed the service of moving without charge.
Beginning June l, 1894, the Stock Yards i'm
pos&d trackage charge upon each car NOV
ing in out.
Thereupon the various defendants collected
terminal charge of 81 per car in addition
to the regular Chicago rate.
The commission decides that the carriers
may reimburse themselves, but they ought not
to exact any compensation for their service
which they previously rendered gratuitOusly
and that the imposition OF more than 81 per car
as such terminal charge live stock was
in violation of the act to regulate commerce.

claimed that the accident was due to de-
feet in the roadway. The corporation attor-

OF law suit.
Mayor Doran. however. says the principle is
wrong. and in order to show the people that
the practice of bringing suits against the
city and then compromising for a small sum
will not be allowed by him has returned the
ordinance without his signature.

Col. c. J. Monfort Suffers Had
Fall on Sixth Street.

Col. C. ]. Monfort OF the Windsor hotel
sustained quite a serious fall on Sixth street
yesterday.
The slippery condition of the sidewalk was
responsible for the mishap.

on some business. when he lost his footing
and fell, striking first on his side and then
on his head. Fortunately the force of the fall
was broken before his head came in contact
with the stone pavement.
He was taken to the hotel, where he re-
ceived the best Of attention and at late
hour last night he was reported resting
quietly.
Aside from a severe shaking up. it is said
that the colonel sustained no further injuries
and that he will be around in day or so.

trolling along the degree of latitude to the northward of the Barbadoes.
 It was pointed out to me to-day that ten days have elapsed since the fleet left St. Vincent, and, going at the rate of ten knots an hour, they should by this time have covered the distance to San Juan.
 Another official with whom I talked called my attention to the fact that when the Vizcaya and the Almirante Oquendo sailed for the Cape Verde Islands from San Juan they left the latter port on April 8 and did not reach their destina- ton until April 22 It was possible this expert thought, that the Spanish fleet on its voyage to San Juan might consume an equal period In this event the American and Spanish fleets will not sight each other before Thursday or Friday.
 It is considered highly probable in naval circles that the Spanish fleet may find re-enforcements awaiting 1t at the Windward Islands, Just before the blockade of Cuba was inauourated it was estimated from official reports that there were sixty-hve Spanish men-of- war in Cuban and Porto Rican waters. Of these vessels but seven outside of the cruisers are considered worthy of at- tention. These are torpedo-gun vessels and torpedo boats which fled from Gu ban waters before the blockade con- nenced The Depar nent has been ad- vised of the presence of Spanish vessels in the West Indies from time to time. and 1t has been believed that these were ships that escaped from Cuba It may be that they are under instructions to join the Cape Verde squadron and will accompany 1t to San .luan
 So far as can be learned, however, the programme hitherto given in the Herald of permitting the Spanish fleet to enter San Juan, where 1t will be kept bottled up, has not been changed. nor will 1t be unless circumstances should arise dictating other action.
 On account of the accuracy with which the newspapers have been outlin- ing the naval rlans of the campaign. the Department issued to-day this official order:
 "In accordance with the recommenda- ton of the Naval War Board all off, cers and employees of the Navy Depart ment are hereby forbidden to furnish information as to matters pertaining or bearing upon the conduct of the war to any person or persons not connected with the Department, or to any news paper or other publication unless au- thorized to do so by the Department"

 So anxious is the War Department to expedite the movements of the in vading army that it will not wait for the volunteer army to be fully equipped with the regulation uni- form. Those troops already SUD- piled with uniforms from their na- tional guard service will be expected to use the same while in Cuba.

 WINSLOW FIGHTS
 THREE WARSHIPS
Small American Craft Puts to Flight Spanish GunbOats After
 a Spirited Encounter.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 9.-There was rejoicing here tonight when the dis patch-boat brought news of an en- counter that took place off Cardenas Bay yesterday afternoon between the torpedo-boat Winslow and three Span ish gunboats, in which one of the gun boats was apparently disabled and all were put to flight.
 The Winslow was steaming in with that in her demeanor that hinted that she had no intention Of stopping right away There was agitation in the sig nal station, and in a short time flags futtering hysterically spread the mes sage that the American vessel was nearly to the range buoy.
 Three gunboats slipred their cables and ran brayely out to their safety limit. Every Spaniard aboard expected to see the American blown out of the water. Three 6-pounders crackled and three shells threw waterspouts about the Winslow, but she was not struck.
 The Winslow drove straight ahead attacking the boats. Lieutenant Der nadou no sooner saw the first white snokepuffs from the Spanish guns than he gave the word to the men already stationed at the two forward one pounders, which parked viciously and fotilla.
 On plunged the Winslow to within 1500 yards of the gunboats, while the row raised by the rapid-fire one pounders was like a rattling tattoo. The Spaniards were apparently stag gered at this fierce onslaught, single handed, and fired wildly on seeing their pretty plan all gone wrong. The Wins low now swung around broadside to bring her two after-guns to bear as the Spanish fleet scattered. and lost their formation.
 The Winslow soon maneuvered so that she was -enpering at all three gunboats at once. The sea was very heavy, and the knifelike torpedo rolled so wildly that it was impossible to do good gun practice from her decks: but despite this big handicap, the rapidity of her fire and remarkable effectiveness under the circumstances demoralized all three opponents, which, after the
