Rome, April 21.~According to a dis-
1~atch to the Messagero from Athens,
<.ated today, the forces of the Greeks
and Turks in the fighting which has
taken place in the Milouna pass total
up 20,000 men. The dispatch adds that
the crown Prince Constantine assumes
supreme command of the Greek forces,
which will fight the Turks as soon as
possible. It is also announced that
King George of Greece leaves Athens
for the frontier at once.

A dispatch received here from Cairo,
Egypt, says that at the request of the

Turkish government the Egyptian gov- -

ernment has handed the Greek diplo-
matic agent, M. J. Gryparis, his pass-
ports, and has ordered all Greeks to
leave Egypt within a fortnight.

The Porte's Version.

London, April 21.—The Turkish em-
.‘baSsador in London received a dispatch
ifrom the porte today stating that
throughout Monday a series of conflicts
.was waged upon Greek territory, in all
20% which the Turks were victorious.

patch says, “and the Turkish army will
encompass .the Greeks and force them
to fight a decisive battle in which the
whole of the opposing armies will be
engaged. With Tyrnavo Turkey in—
tends to take Larissa, and the attack
upon these places will be maintained
until both capitulate, which it is ex—

pected will be accomplished in' a day‘

or two." ,
The dispatch proceeds to say:
“The reports, from Arta about the

bombardment 'of Preveza are greatly‘

exaggerated. The town is but little
damaged.- ’ The shot from the guns of
the Turks hit two of the Greek battle-
ships and compelled them to retire.
There is now no sign of the Greek flo—
tilla at Preveza.

“Dispatches received here from vari-
ous points on the Greco-Turkish fronv
tier tell of fighting of the most desper—
ate character in the conflict which re-
sulted in the capture of Milouna pass
and the reduction of two Greek block-
houses by the Turks. No quarter was
given, and none was asked. The Turks
rarely fired in volleys, but threw out
strong skirmishing parties of light in—
fantry, which poured a ceaseless hail
of bullets upon the doomed blockhouses
before the Greeks defending them were
overpowered by the advancing Turks
and put to death by the bayonet. The
hillsides around the blockhouses were
strewn with the bodies of Greek sol-
diers. In the retreat of the Greeks
from' the pass Captain Tagares, who
had been wounded in the struggle to
hold the blockhouse, committed suicide
to avoid falling alive into the hands of
the Turks.”

Turks Report Victory.

Salonika, April 21.—10 a. m.—‘Reports
have just been received here that Ed-
hem Pasha, the commander in chief of
the Turkish armv in Macedonia, has
gaptured the town of Bounali. Ahmed
Tasha has occupied Kirtepe, and Hus-
sein Pasha has captured Tano. All the
reports received here indicate that the
Turkish advance is fast breaking down
the Greek opposition.

Greeks Report Good News.

Athens, April 21.fThe latest advices
received here say that the Greek troops
at the front are recovering themselves
and good news is being received from
that portion of the Greek army within
the Turkish border. General Smolentz,
the advices say, has advanced and is
proceeding from Reveni to Damasi, and
General Mavromichali‘has advanced to
the relief of Colonel Mastrapa, who has
retreated from Milouna. An attempt
will be made to recapture Milouna pass
when the junction is formed.

The mayor of Larissa has issued a
general proclamation to the citizens

, calling upon them to arm themselves
and defend their country. The minister
of the interior, M. Mavromichalis, has

_ ssued a general order to all the prefects
n the kingdom tothe same effect.

Advices received here 'early show that

la. series of conflicts of a most sangui- I

’l- a, ‘inary character has been raging for the

 

/.. t,-

last two_ days inside the defiles and
around the blockhouses at Reveni. The
Turks throughout the entire series of
engagements were on 'the offensive and
made" incessant and furious onsets upon
the Greek positions, often within 100
yards of the Greek trenches. The Turk-
ish loves were very heavy, beyond
doubt several thousand of the sultan’s
troops having been killed and wounded.

The peasantry are rising and crowds
of them’ are hurrying forward to assist
the Greeks. The peasants have shown
splendid courage and admirable dis-
cipline, fighting with all the coolness
of veteran soldiers. Their quaint cos-
tumes 'are observable everywhere,
mingling with the uniforms of the
regulars and presenting a picture rare—
ly seen on a battlefield. The knowl-
edge possessed by the peasantry of all
the ins and outs of the' country has
been of great assistance to the Greeks.

News was received here that the
Greeks had recaptured Gritzovali from
the Turks, who were driven out of the
place after most desperate fighting.
The bombardment of the town of Viglia
is still in progress and is in favor of the
Greeks. The Turks are making a stub-
born fight there, but the Greeks are in
momentary expectation that the Turks
will find the place too hot to hold them
and will abandon their position, leaving
the Greeks to occupy the town.

Crown Prince Constantine, command-
er in chief of the Greek army, who left
his headquarters at Larissa yesterday
morning to visit Tyrnavo and Reveni,
has returned to Larissa.

Later.—It was announced this evening
that the Greeks have recaptured Grit-
zovali.

Colonel Manos, in command of the
Greek forces on the frontier of Epirus,
has telegraphed to the government,
here that the Turks have bombarded
the military hospital at Arta, although
the Red Cross flag was hoisted over it.

Germany and the “Var.

London, April 21.—A dispatch to The
Daily News from Berlin says that po-
litical and financial circles there are not
at all disturbed by the neWS of the
breaking out of war between the
Greeks and the Turks. All agreein
charging the outbreak to the Greeks
and profess to have no fear that Euro-
pean complications will arise.

Battle at Arta.

Athens, April 21.—The fighting at
Arta has been incessant sincelast even-
ing. The Turkish artillery resumed
firing with increased vigor, but the
Greek defenders of the place received
only slight damage. The Greek squad-
ron resumed the bombardment of Pre-
veza today. The Turkish batteries are
still replying to the fire of the Greek
guns. The Greek ironclad squadron
left the Piraeus today under sealed or-
ders.

Fighting at RcVeni.

Elassona, Turkey, April 21.—Fierce
fighting was resumed today near Re-
veni. The Greeks hold good positions,
but the Turks are attacking them in
huge columns, and the issue is expected
to be decisive. It is reported that the
Greeks have captured the town of Vig-
lia, which they incessantly bombarded
yesterday, and have taken 200 Turkish
prisoners.

Story of an Eyewitness.

Headquarters of the Turkish Army
In Macedonia, Elassona, April 21.—A
press correspondent at the Turkish
headquarters in Macedonia has just
spent 16 hours in the saddle with the
advance line of Edhem Pasha’s troops.

During Sunday night the Turks
strengthened the positions which they
had captured from the Greeks, but at
sunrise it was seen that the Greek
forces had retired except from a bill
which was occupied by the Greek rear
guard.

Desultory firing took place all the
morning, and finally at 1 p. m. Monday
Hairi Pasha sent four battalions off to
drive the enemy from the hill referred
to. In 20 minutes it was all over. The
resistance of the Greeks was feeble, and
many of them surrendered to the
Turks. The prisoners were mostly
young and sturdy men.

After the capture of the last Greek
position the Turks advanced, singing
as they marched forward, and occupied
all the remaining heights.

On reaching the summit of the hills
above Tyrnavo, the Greek frontier
town situated about ten miles from

‘ Larissa, the Turks observed that the

Greeks were occupying a small hill,
from which they fired, but feebly, at
the Turks. Finally two Turkish moun-
tain batteries were brought up to the
summit of the hill occupied by the
Turks, and from there the Turkish
guns began bombarding Tyrnavo. Un-
der cover of this fire the Turkish in-
fantry advanced, and, after capturing
a spur opposite the Greek blockhouse,
orders were given to the Turks at 5
o’clock to take the blockhouse by as-
sault. This movement was brilliantly
effected 20 minutes later. ~

The Greek prisoners say that the
Greek army has already lost heart.

The situation at present is that the
Turks have possession of all the com-
manding heights betWeen their head-
quarters and the Greek headquarters
at Larissa, with the exception of Tyr—
navo, which is now commanded by the
Turkish batteries.

The Turks are camping in the Greek
tents left on the plain of Thessaly, near
the Milouna pass, by the retreating
Greek army. The Turks today only had
six men killed and ten wounded. The
death of Hafiz Pasha, the Turkish c/om—
mander who was killed in the fighting
which took place in the Milouna pass
on Saturday, is greatly lamented. He
was 80‘years 01' age and, while advanci
ing at the head of his troops, was urged
to dismount andrest. The old pasha
replied:

"During the Russian war I never dis-
mounted and why should I do so now ‘1"

Soon afterward Hafiz Pasha was
wounded in the arm, but he still re—
mained in the saddle. Later a second
bullet struck him on the hand. Yet
the old warrior refused to retire. Fi-
nally a third bullet broke the gallant
pasha’s spine and he rolled from his
saddle dead.

As Sifted Through Berlin.

Berlin, April 21.—~An official telegram
received from Constantinople by the
Turkish embassy here today says that
the Turks have not sustained great
damage at, Prevesa, but that two Greek
warships were compelled by the Turk-
ish fire to retire from there today and
that this afternoon there were no signs
of the Greek fleet being in the vicinity
of Prevesa. .

The official telegram referred to fur-
ther says that the Turks have captured
all the positions commanding l‘yrnavo,

 

 

‘X w n n R'lY inn n'wTA pa '-+ m. 7. I411

thus confirming the dispatches on the
subject from the TurI-nish headquarters
at E.assona.

Another dispatch from Constantino-
ple says that the landing of the Greeks
at Elenethropoli, on the coast of Mace-
donia facing the gulf of Salonika, their
intention being to cut the railroad be-
tween‘Salonika and Elassona. thus de-
stroying communication with Edhem
Pasha’s base of supplies, has failed. It
is added that the Greeks lost 50 men
killed and many‘wounded in the at-
tempt, which was repulsed by the Turk-
ish troops.

Turks to March on Larissa.

London, April 21.—A special dispatch
from Constantinople says that after a
series of furious engagements Edhem
Pasha, the Turkish commander in
chief, has occupied Tyrnavo, ten miles
from Larissa, in force. The dispatch
further says that General Abdu Azel
Pasha was among the killed.

In conclusion, the dispatch says that
the Turks will now immediately ad-
vance by forced marches upon Larissa,
the headquarters of the Greek army in
Thessaly.

.. Bulgaria Asked to Act.

Sofia, Bulgaria, April 21.—A newspa-
per of this city announces that the
Turkish government has called upon
Bulgaria, as the vassal of Turkey, to
hand passports to all the Greek consuls
in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian cabinet is
now considering this question.

Greeks From Chicago Going Home.

Chicago, April 21.—One hundred
Greeks will leave Chicago tomorrow for
New York and will sail on Saturday for
their native land to join the army. At
a meeting last night at theGreekchurch
these 100 men signed the roll of volun-
teers. Others will leave before the end
of the week.

Our Cabinet Discusses the War.

Washington, April 21. — The Greco-
Turkish war was discussed in a gen—
eral way at the cabinet meeting today.
All the members of the cabinet were
present. Senator Sherman had no fresh
advices from Minister Terrell, and the
discussion conveyed rather the news
features of the situation as shown by
the press dispatches than as calling for
action on the part of the government.
It was decided that nothing further
would be done until the occasion'seem—
ed to call for it. The cabinet was in
session about an hour.

The Postal Receipts.

Washington, April 19.—The state-
ment of the gross postal receipts for the
quarter ended March 31 at the 30 largest
postoffices in the country, compared to
last year’s corresponding quarter, shows
total receipts of $8,535,062, a decrease of
$159,865. The largest proportionate de-
crease was of ove: 12 per cent at Syra-
cuse. New York city increased $25,820,
while Chicago decreased $79,467. The
statement for March alone, however, is
very gratifying, showing total receipts
of $3,098,074 at these 30 points, an in—
crease of $69,485 over the previous
March. ,Hartford increased almost 16
per cent, and 20 others out of the 30
showed increased receipts.

DR. 'ANGELL’ S MISSION.
True Inwardness-Cf—Ilis Appointment
as Minister to Turkey.

To URGE AMERICAN CLAIMS

Influence of the Missionary Societies
Brought toBear to Have Him Sent
to Constantinople —- “'ill Not
serve the Full Term.

Ann Arbor, Mich., April 20.——Dr. J.
B. Angell’s mission to Turkey is of a
special nature, similar to that which he
executed in China in 1880 and particu—
larly in the interest of American mis-
sionaries.

It has become known that Dr. Angeli

first received an offer of appointment‘

as regular minister to Turkey for four
years and that he declined. He did not
wish to be long away from the univer-
sity.

Later he was asked to go to force a
settlement of claims of American mis-
sionaries against the Turkish govern-
ment and he accepted. When that work
is done, his mission will have been per-
formed and he will return to this coun-
try.

Dr. Angell’s selection for this post is
particularly gratifying to the foreign
missionary organizations in the United
States, which are said to have exercised
all the influence they could bring to
bear to s t-ure his appointment.

'lfor several years he has been a mem-
Mr of the American board of commis-
sioners for foreign missions and has
been active in its work. He has been
recognized, too, as one of the ablest men
connected with the body and its memr
bars feel confident that he will persuade
the Turk to have greater respect for
American rights in the future.

A Friend’s" Statement.

Dr. Bradshaw, minister of the Con-
gregational church of which Dr. Angeli
is a member, said: _

“Just what part, if any, the American
board of foreign missions took in se-
curing Dr. Angell’s appointment I do
not know. I do know, though, that a
large part of his duty in Constantinople
will carry him along the same line of
work he has been doing in committee
for the board in this country.

“He was on that committee appoint-
ed by the American board in Toledo last
October to urge President Cleveland to
force a settlement of the American
claims and secure for our missionaries
better protection. '

“There are now pending before the
Turkish government claims to the
amount cf $750,000, for lives and prop-
erty of American missionaries destroy—
ed in the outrages perpetrated by the

\.Turkish soldiery. In its mild prosecu-

tion of these claims this government
has been ignored and insulted in a way
the powers of Europe would not toler-
ate.”

Professor Martin L. D’Ooge, who will
probably serve as acting president of
the university during Dr. Angell's ab-
sence, and who isone of his closest
friends, is at present out of the city, but

’ from Mrs. D’Ooge it was learned that

Dr. Angeli did not intend to remain in
Constantinople the full four years.

Death of Joseph l’earsall.

Brooklyn, April 20.—~J0seph Pcarsall,
the lawyer who attempted to commit
suicide on Friday night by cutting his
throat, died at the Seney hospital to-
day. He had been a sufferer from in-
somnia and dyspepsia for a long time
and had become despondent. After his
attempt he was removed to the Seney
hospital, where a silver tube was in-
serted into his throat. Despite this op-
eration, he lost strength gradually.

James C. Reed’s Condition.

New York, April 20.—James C. Reed,
the secretary of the Grant Monument
association, who is lying critically ill
at his home in the Sherman Square
hotel, was reported today to be still in
a precarious condition. Mr. Reed is suf—
fering from an abscess of the brain. Dr.
Fowler called in Dr. Janeway for a con—
sultation, after which both of the phy—
sicians said there was no hope.

A Youthful l‘oisoner.

Exeter, N. 11., April 20.—Frank Went-
worth, the 13», var—old boy who was ar-
rested Saturc‘..y on the charge of hav-
ing attempted to poison his father and
stepmother, ‘Mr. and Mrs. George II.
lVentworth of Newton, N. H., has made
a confession stating that he put paris
green in the tea while getting break-
fast. IIe givesas his excuse that he
despised his stepmother.

A Brass Tack Caused Death.

Hamilton, Ont, April 20.-—Henry Mod-
lin died here from the effects of swal—
lowing an‘ upholsterer’s brass tack six
years ago. After suffering for 17 months
from it he coughed it up. His physician
hoped that with the coughing up of the
tack the young man would recover, but
the brass poison eventually proved fa-
tal.

Bridegroom \Vins the Queen’s Prize.

London, April 20.-——At the Kempton
park Easter meeting today Mr. Martin
D. Rucker’s Bridegroom won the race
for the queen’s prize of 1,000 sovereigns.

, 8 ON THE TARIFF
The Dingley Bill to Have RepubliCan
Party Indorsenient.

 

SENATORS WANT CHANCES.

Difficulties of Getting the Measure Through
the Upper Branch of Congress—The
Sugar Schedule Seems to Be
the Most Difficult to Fix.

Washington, April-19.—It is probable
that the tariff bill will be considered
by the Republican caucus before it is
submitted to the Democratic members
of the finance committee. This course
was not pursued when the McKinley
bill was considered, but .the Democrats
adopted this plan when the Wilson bill
was in'the cox. ittee on finance. The
necessity for can as action on the Ding-
ley bill is because of thenarrow margin
of votes which the Republicans have to
pass the bill, with perhaps no actual
certainty now that the bill can pass
the senate. The demands made by in-
dividual and groups of senators for cer-
tain rates has made the Republican
members of the committee feel that the
only way united action by Republicans
is to be obtained is through caucus in-
dorsement of the bill as the Republican
members present it.

These demands, it is understood, do
not come from any one, section, but
from all sections and senators have in-
timated to the committee that unless
changes are made as they suggest they
cannot see their way clear to support
the bill. The committee, under such
circumstances, can see no other way
than to have the bill considered in cau-
cus, so that all Republican senators
may be informed of the difficulties un-
der which they labor.

Another proposition has been sug-
gested and might be adopted. It is to
grant the several demands and let the
bill go to conference. This plan would
mean that many of the schedules would
be made in conference and the ques—
tion of agreeing to the conference report
on the bill as a whole would put the
Republicans to the straight test of par-
ty loyalty, and the inference is that
in such event they would support the
tariff bill even if it was not all that
they desired. .

The present intention of the commit-
tee is to have the bill reported to the
senate by May 1, although it may go
beyond that date. .

No Protest From England.

Great Britain is conspicuous by the
absence of protests which have been
made against the tariff bill. The em—
bassadors of Germany, France and Ita—
ly, as well as some o'ther ministers of
foreign countries, have made protests
against various features of the bill
which affect their products, but none
has been received from the British em-
bassador. The sugar schedule is dis-
liked by Germany, and the wine sched-
ule is the principal item of complaint
on the part of France. It may be stated
that the members of the committee
which is considering the bill have not
given serious attention to the protests
made by foreign governments. They
regard the tariff as a domestic matter
wholly and one with which the foreign
governments should not interfere. A
diplomatic question, however, is raised
over the subject of Hawaiian sugar.
Under the treaty ceding Pearl river
harbor to the United States Plowman
sugar was admitted free of duty. There
is a great demand for the abrogation of
that part of the treaty admitting sugar
free. The Pacific coast and other west-
ern beet sugar interests, as well as the
cane sugar producers, are demanding
that Hawaiian sugar shall be subject to
the same duties as other sugars. It is
also claimed that this would mean ad-
ditional revenue of $7,000,000 a year.
But the question of retaining Pearl riv—
er harbor enters into the matter and is
made the basis of opposition to abrogat-
ing the treaty.

The Dainocratic Differences.

W'ashington, Aplll 10.—The dissen—
sicns of the recon: Democratic caucus
have been brough: into the .house and
were thrashed ox'cr again, to the evi-
dent cdiijcation of the Republicans.

Mr. bailey of Texas produced a news-
paper articie accusing him of wearing
Mr. Reed’s collar and of acting under
Mr. Reed's sug‘gcsiix’m in acquiescing in

the Republican pulley of inaction. De-
nouncing the staic...c:1t as a lie, Mr.
Bailey repeated thn reagent; for his

course heretofore given by him.

Mr. De Armcnd of Missouri in reply
to Mr. Bailey declared that the verdict
of the caucus had been an indorsement
of Mr. Bailey's policy of "fighting the
Republicans at all points. Mr. Burl:
of Texas offereda personal explanatio
similar to that made by Mr. Bailey.

The expected alignment of the Demo
crats by a vote on Mr. Di'ngley’s motion
to adjourn until Vl'ednesday was avert-
ed because all the Democrats opposed
the motion on account of Mr. Dingley’s
refusal to yield for the consideration of
a. resolution of inquiry concerning the
policy of the government in the Union
Pacific foreclosure suits, which Mr.
Bland of Missouri vainly attempted to
bring up. Much feeling was displayed
by the two Democratic factions, and
after the house had adjourned fruitless
attempts were made to have their trou-
bles considered in another caucus.

 

Bank Robbers May Be In banaua.
Montreal, April 19.—Two men suspect-

~‘ed of having committed the murder

and bank robbery at Somersworth, N.

and Maine train at St. Johnsbury,'Vt.,
and jumped the train at a station near
this city. The city detectives have been
advised of this and are searching for
the men. .

 

, Greece \Vill Protest.

Athens, April.19.—The cabinet has de-
cided to protest to the powers against
the aggressive action of Turkey» An
invasion by Edhem Pasha, the Turkish
commander, is expected, and the Greek
army has taken up positions for the
purpose of being in readiness to repel
the advance.

Junkins and ex—Alderman Patrick Ford
