‘ Turkey Will Regard Another Raid as
a Declaration of War.
THE CAPTURE or BALTIll0.
Forty of the Moslems “Vere Killed In the
Assault on That Place—Greek lie-en-
forcements Reach Macedonia.
on the \Vay to Grevena.
London, April 15.—The Evening News
thisafternoon publishes a dispatch from
its special correspondent at Athens, say-
ing that the Turkish government has
formally informed the Greek govern—
ment that any further raid of ir-
regulars into Turkish territory will be
regarded by Turkey as a declaration of
war upon the part of Greece. .
A special dispatch from Salonika, the
Turkish base of operations, says that
the Greek “irregulars” have succeeded
in advancing as far as Grevena, rally-
ing the population to their cause, and
threatening communications between
the Turkish armies at Elassona and
Janina. '
Baltino Has Fallen. ‘
Larissa, April 15.—Trustworthy re-
ports received here confirm the state—
ments that the Greek irregulars have
saptured Baltino, in Macedonia. The
Turks lost 40 men killed. The insurgent
Chief Davelis has occupied a strong po-
sition in the mountains, near Krania. ‘
This force later was attacked by aTurk-
ish battalion from Velimisti,
Turks were repulsed, with severe loss.
The Greeks then assumed the offensive, ‘
cut up the Turkish detachment, cap-
tured 18 mules, a convoy of provisions
and a large quantity of ammunition
and made prisoners of 15 Turks. After
this success the Greeks advanced to Ki-
puri, on the road to Grevena, threaten-
ing the communications Of the Turkish
central force at Elassona with Janina,
the Turkish headquarters in Albania.
In all the skirmishes and fighting since
crossing the frontier the Greeks only
lost 5 men killed and had 15 men wound-
ed.
Fresh troops continue to arrive here
from the south. A third brigade was
formed today in order to assist in the
defense of the frontier. The enthusiasm
of the troops is unabated. In Macedo—
nia the weather is wet and cold, but in
Thessaly fine weather prevails, permit-
ting the militaryauthorities to complete
all preparations for an advance into
Turkish territory or to defend the fron-
tier in the event of the Turks assuming
the offensive, which is looked upon here
as being more probable.
Dispatches received here'today from
the Greek expeditionary force say that
the irregulars have passed Kipuri, driv—
ing the Turks before them, and are
pushing on for Grevena, where a strong
Turkish force—some reports say an
army corps—is stationed. There are ru-
mors here of ministerial changes, but
there are no signs of any relaxation in
preparing for war, and there will be a
feeling of relief when hostilities com.-
mence. .
Japan’s lIIinistry Attacked.
London, April 15. — The Manchester
Guardian publishes a communication
from its correspondent in Japan which
says that the recent conventions be-
tween Russia and Japan in regard to
Korea have seriously injured the stand-
ing of the Japanese ministry, which is
not l1ke1y to, last much longer. The
people are making an energetic attack
upon the government for accepting the
humiliating treaties proposed by Rus-
s1a. '

THB GLOBE BANK SCANDAL.
Législaturo May Inquire Into Certain Pe-
culiar Transactions.
Chicago, April 15. — The legislature
may investigate the affairs of the Globe
Savings bank, in which the funds of the
University of Illinois, now missing.
were deposited. Today the following
resolution was introduced into the sen-
ate by Senator Dunlap:
“Whereas, It is currently reported
that the treasurer of the University of
Illinois has misappropriated a large.
amount of funds belonging to said uni--
versity, and the true facts concerning
the same should be ascertained; there-
fore,
“Resolved, That a special committee
of five members Of the senate be ap—
pointed with full power to send for per—
sons and papers and to administer
oaths for the purpose of ascertaining
and reporting to this senate the facts
in the case.”
It is understood that this action is
the result of the revelations Of the last
few days, going to show that the man—
agement of the financial matters of the
university has been made for four years
a mere political job.
There already is at hand, it is alleged,
evidence that eX—Governor Altgeld
brought about the appointment of
Spalding as treasurer by pressure upon
the board of trustees, and that when
this had been accomplished he secured
from Spalding large loans upon inade—
quate security. One of these was $17,—
500 on Unity buildingb bonds owned by
Altgeld.
The property of the cx-govcrnor is.
now tied up by an injunction Of the
court so far as the interests of the
bank a e concerned in property held by
Altgeld, but believed to belong to cred—
itors of the bank. Herbert Skinner,
Treasurer Spalding’s private secretary,
issued notice to all the banks of the
city that no more university warrants
would be honored by him. By this ac-
tion the institution is left practically
without a cent with which to pay even
the most necessary current expenses.
A few days ago the trustees believed
that there were in the custody Of the
treasurer funds approximating $550, 000.
These funds were as follows:
EndOWment fund, district and county
bonds, $418,110; endowment fund, cash,
$37,184; general fund, cash, about $100,-
000; total, $555,294.
. This was considered” a fine showing
for the university when it was made
in the neatly inscribed reports of Treas-
urer Spalding, and friends Of the in-
stitution u ere wont to refer to it with
pride, but nithin less than a fortnight
it has disappeared as completely as if
it were only a shadow, for Spalding’s
bond of $800,000 has been shown to be
inadequate.
The university may be forced to close
doors before the completion of the
school year. It is without sufficient
funds to meet current expenses. Prac-
tically all of its cash and securities are
affected by the failure of the Globe Sav-
ings bank. The trustees have no au-
thority to borrow money, and warrants
may not be legally issued upon the
treasurer unless he has funds in his
possession with which topay them.
Spalding’s Farm Attached.
Nashua, N. H., April 15.—Hon. Solo—
mon Spalding, president of the New
Hampshire Banking company and
father of C. W. Spalding, president of
. the defunct Globe Savings bank Of Chi-
cago, has attached his son's farm at
Merrimac as security for his bond. The
farm is the most valuable one in this
section and has been used for a long
time by Mr. Spalding as a stock farm.
A carioad of horses from Red Oak, 151.,
arrived there yesterday. It is the old
homestead of the family.
Anticartoon Bill Amended.
‘Albany, April 15.—The anticartoon
bill of Senator Ellsworth was amended
by the assembly committee on general
laws today, so as to provide that cir-
culators of papers shall not be liable;
that the line shall be optional with the
judge. they. allowing an avoidance of
any penalty in the discretion of the
court, and by excepting public men
from the provisions and compelling ma—
liciousness to be proved before pun-
ishment is inflicted.
