THE 111131110 FIGHT .‘

A Correspondent In the Field Describes
the Engagement.

 

ATHBNIANS ARE WRATHFUL

The Residence of the Crown Prince Mob-
bed—Fear of Revolution—A Serious
Allegation Against King George.
Edhem Pasha’s Shrewd Plan.

London, May 5.—An Athens dispatch
reports that on Sunday a crowd, sum-
moned by the ringing of church bells,
went to the residence of Crown Prince
Constantine, cin Achaia,‘ seized the
arms of the Royal guards, smashed tne
furniture and burned all the papers
they could lay their handsupon.

The village was greatly excited by
the incident. There were further dis-
turbances in the churches during the
prayers for members of the royal far..-
fly.

The newspaper clamor in Athens
against the three princes continues,but
a majdrity of educated and reflecting
people regard the possibility of revolu—
tion with dismay and are prepared to
support the dynasty should the danger
become imminent.

There are no socialists, anarchists or
similar organizations in Greece. There-
fore,~ even should royalty take its de-
parture, there is no prospect or likeli-
hood of any movement like the Paris
commune.

A Volo correspondent telegraphs:

“When I arrived at Velestino Sun-
day, I had just seen the Turkish infan-
try advancing in two columns, intend-
ing to cut the railway. The Greeks,
12,000 strong, under General Smolentz
(by whose side I watched the encounter
in the rear of the Eighth regiment, un—
der Colonel Gannikosta), gradually ad-
vanced, one battalion to hold the rail—
way, the other to support the artillery,
which had mountain guns on the right
center.

“The Seventh regiment of infantry,
under Colonel Regli, advanced to a low
plateau on the left, where two batteries
were in position. General Smolentz
had ordered the shelling to begin when
the enemy were well within range, con-
sequently the guns did not open fire be—
fore 5:30 p. In.

Greek Shooting Good.

“The Turks evidently were about
14,000 strong. Their cavalry recon—
noitered the woods where the Greeks
were concealed, but the batteries re-
mained silent until 6 o’clock, and at
that time the fire fell far short of being
effectivefihough the Greek practice was
the best I have yet noted. The Turks
ran away from the shells but contin-
ued to advance in good order.

“Our right really never was engaged
and the railway station was defended
by only a small force, with two krupp
guns. Toward the end the large Turk-

‘ish center was seen to advance in the
distance, but sunset at 6245 caused a
temporary cessation of hostilities.

“Trains are running to Pharsalos now
and I managed to get through. Re-
turning on horseback‘iin the darkness
to Volo, I was captured by the Greek
outposts, thanks to the failure of head-
quarters to issue regular passes. I was
treated with much civility, but was de-
tained until late.

“Having met re-enforcements on the
way to Velestino I went out again
today (Monday), when the Greeks
brought up nearly the whole Pharsalos
force. Save in the sharp struggles dur-
ing the night, the Greeks have been
successful, holding their ground.

”The Turks mounted a battery on a
hill facing the Greek left, approached
the end of the wood and burned a
small village. Nearly all the fighting
,today has ,been on the extreme right,
in the direction of Lake Karla and the
eastern Volo road. Whoever gains this
road commands V010 and could close
off retreat here.

“The trains still run to Velestino. the
officials displaying the greatest cool—
ness and courage. ‘ In one case a rail-
Way director is working the locomotive.

”More decisive fighting is expected.

As yet the Greek losse‘s have not been'

heavy. .
Red Cross Society Missing.

“The Red Cross society, formerly
much in fidence, is now conspicuous
by absence, and this fact caus<

. merit.

“During the fighting at Velestino last
week the Greek losses included Officer
and Deputy Sylitzi, who was killed. It
is rumored that many officers have told
Crown Prince Constantine that they
will return their swords unless they are
led against the Turks.

“There is a strong feeling at Phar-
salos. The despair over the mistakes
of the campaign has been obliterated
by a desire to regain the esteem of Eu—
rope. Only 4,000 soldiers are actually
posted at Pharsalos. The remainder
are distributed in well chosen positions.
Discipline is improving, though organ-
ization is still somewhat defective.

“The Villages throughout Thessaly
havapractically deserted the Greeks.”

A dispatch from Pharsalos says the
Greeks had a. skirmish Saturday with
the Turkish advance guard at Tekke,
on the Larissa road; that the Turks
were reported advancing «from Larissa
and Trikhala, and that a battle was
probable. Three Greek regiments had
been sent to Velestino.

A Volo dispatch reports that the
Greek fleet is taking position 'to shell
the heights of the defile leading to Ma-
erinitza in case the Turks succeed in
turning the Greek flank and marching
to Volo.

The Greek navy is much dejected by
the rumor that the powers have neu-
tralized the ports of Turkey, which
were open to Greek attack, without
any compensatory action.

The foreign warships at Volo have
moved farther out, leaving the Greek
fleet free range, and the Greek fleet
has sent four heavy guns to Velestino.

Edhem Pasha’s Plan.

The Turks evidently had planned to
surprise the Greek military authorities
before they could recover from the be-
wilderm t of the retreat from Larissa
and to intercept the railway at Veles-
tino, thus cutting off Pharsalos from the
nearest base of supplies and pushing in
a strong wedge of troops in order to
threaten V010 and Pharsalos. They
could have been captured or annihilat-
ed if there had been sufficient rolling
stock to transport Greek re-enforce-
.ments from Pharsalos or if General
Smolentz’s troops had not been too
ltired to attempt a flank movement.

When General Smolentz starts for

""\ _.

 

Pharsalos, to assume his duties as chief
of staff, General JannikoSta probably
will succeed him in command of the
Second brigade.

Among the dead on the Turkish side
it Velestino were a German major and
:wo Russian officers.

 

Arta Is Deserted. .

Aria, Greece, May 5.—-Arta' is desert-
ed. Its wretched inhabitants live in
the fields behind the town, many of
:hem on the verge of starvation. Noth-
mg is procurable in the way of food
except a scanty and uncertain supply
at bread.

Women and children are suffering
horribly with cold and hunger, and to
these tortures is added the dread of a.
Turkish attack at any moment.

All the stores are closed. The mili-
tary authorities are said to be contem—
plating further withdrawal of the
Greek troops.

An armed Greek priest has been try-
ing to restore the morale of the troops
by preaching in the public square a
arusade against the Turks.

In the direction of Filippiada flames
are visible.

The Turks have occupied the bridge
at Louros.

One of the worst mistakes the Greeks
have made has been the casual and in-
termittent character of the attack up—
on Prevesa. Its capture was essential

. if the Greeks meant business in Epirus.

 

'means adopted was

. of Perthshire.

 

To capture so strong a place by the
impossible, and
now the opportunity is lost.

Instead of the desultory firing. which
enabled the Turks to repair damage
about as fast as it was done, the town
should have been attacked with deter-
mination by the combined naval and
military forces.

Turkey Increases Its Army.

Constantinople, May 5.—It has been
decided to increase the strength of the
Turkish army in the European prov-
inces to 300,000 men, in order to be pre—
pared for all emergencies.

Including the troops in Anatolia,Tur-
key will soon have 500,000 troops under
arms.

Four transports with Turkish troops
on board passed through the Darda—
nelles on Sunday on their way to the
Egean sea. Their ultimate destination
is not known.

No King’s Birthday.

Athens, May 5.—The Ephemeris says
that owing to the war the fetes in cele-
bration of the king’s birthday have
been postponed.

A personage connected with the court
says that Emperor William of Ger—
many in admitting the superiority of
the Greek over the Turkish artillery
expressed surprise that Greece had
never used German officers to organize
her artillery, which, he added, if well
organized, would be excellent.

The Question of hIediation.

London, May 5.—The parliamentary
secretary for the foreign office, Mr.
George N. Curzon, in the house of com-
mons today, replying to a question, said
communications on the subject of medi—
ation were continually passing between
the powers, who earnestly desire to see
the war between Greece and Turkey
ended. ,

“But,” he added, “the first essential
to successful mediation is evidence
that the belligerents are prepared to
accept it.”

Serious Charge Against the King.

' Paris, May 5.-—~The Gil Blas says the
king of Greece used the crisis in the
affairs of his country to speculate in
Greek and Turkish bonds, with the re-
Sult that his majesty has cleared 30,-
000,000 to 35,000,000 francs.

 

A Fatal Cloudburst.

Jamestown, Ky., May 4. —-Furthe1
news from the cloudburst at White.
Creek, Tenn., indicates that at least
two farmhouses were almost completely
demolished and that ten lives were lost.
The Brander family of four, two farm-
hands, names unknown, and three chil—
dren and the grandmother of Allen
Sweets were killed. The Sweets were
sitting .around the fire when the waw
of water struck the house, carrying the
chimney down and killing four.

Queen Receives Colonel Hay.

London, May 4.—A cabinet council
was held at Windsor castle today in
the presence of the queen. Lord Salis-
bury and the principal members of the

Mrs. Hay were received by the queen
upon presentation by Lord Salisbury.

Teller Agiinst the Tréaty.

Denver, May 4.——Senator Teller, who
is paired on the arbitration treaty, has
expressed himself freely against that

if it were possible to avoid it.

 

Prominent Kentuckian a Suicide.

Cadiz, Ky., May 4.—Uri Wright, one

RICHARD VVARSAM MEADE.

in an interview of the policy of the ad-
‘ ministration.

 

 

Richard VVarsam Meade was born in
New York city Oct. 9, 1837, and was ap-
pointed a midshipman in the navy from
California Oct. 2, 1850. He cruised in
every sea and served in all the latter
day famous ships of the navy. In the
'St. Louis he witnessed the Koszta af-
fair at Smyrna. In the Merrimac,
which later became the Confederate
ram Virginia and fought the Monitor,
'he cruised in the West Indies in 1856.
He was a watch officer in» the Cumber-
land, sunk by the Virginia in Hampton
reads, and was‘attached to the Dale,
the Preble. the Cyane and the Saranac
before the rebellion. His first command
of consequence was the ironclad Louis-
ville of the western flotilla. That was
in 1862. The next year he went out of
New York in command of the gunboat
United States to pursue the trouble-
some privateer Tacony.

In 1863 also he commanded the naval
brigade in the New York draft riots.
Subsequently his war commands were
the Marblehead and Chocurua, block-
aders, in both ('1' which he did gal-
lant service. At Stone River, S. C.,
the Marblehead engaged a Confeder-
ate force under General Del Kem-
per and after a hot fight won the day.
He was complimented publicly for his
part in this action. At the mouth of
the Calcasieu river, Louisiana, in the
Chocurua, he engaged in a desperate
cutting out adventure, by which the
big blockade runner Delphina was tak-
en r‘rom under the enemy’s guns and
made a prize. Six other blockade run—
ne‘ “ were captured or destroyed in this
crit'~e. He was cemplimented and

Farragut and by the department.

Kindoo Lecturer Attacked the Sex and
Escaped by a. Coal Bole.

San Francisco, 'May' 4.-—A Hindoo
calling himself the Brahmacharin Bob-
habhiskshu nearly c1 eated a riot at the
meeting of the women's congress by
denouncing the women of the west as
savages and declaring that he had been
insulted. =

The Brahmacharin Bobhabhiskshu
has been a picturesque figure, always
attired in a. flowing gown of silk and
wearing a. huge turban. The women
have made much of the man from In-
dia, who has posed as an example of
humility and gentleness, and he was
invited to speak on the subject of
“Religion as a Synonym of Education.”
Instead he stepped forward and at-
tacked the congress, its motives and
the honesty of its speakers.

He said that he had been insulted
because on Thursday evening his flow-
ing silken robes had been pulled by one
of the ladies while he was talking—
pulled, he said, to insult him because
he was telling the truth in opposition
to the “horrible and foolish doctrine of
heredity.”

Bobhabhiskshu attacked women in
general. He began a personal attack
on Mrs. Gardiner, but his voice was
drowned by the storm of shouts and
hisses from the audience. When finally
quiet was restored, the Hindoo ex-

claimed:

“I will go like a hero. I will be
brave."

He gathered his silken robes about

him and strode from the stage. Sur-
rounr‘rrl by his friends, he was escorted
to “ur‘nace room and let out into
ti“s s‘re". through the coal hole.

The congress paid the Hindoo’s
t~~‘-nsportation to this city, and while
not ivtying for his addresses, they Were

BLACKBURN IS OUT.

Will Not Contest \Vith Martin For a Seat
In the State Senate.
-Lexington, Ky., May 4.—Ex—Senator
Joseph C. S. Blackburn will not be a.
candidate for the state senate from the
district composed of Jessamine, Wood—
ford and Scott counties, as has been
reported. This district is represented
by Henry L. Martin, who was a strong
Blackburn man last winter and to
whom Blackburn refused to throw the
caucus nomination in the late sena-
torial struggle. The bitterest rivalry
has sprung up between Blackburn and
Martin, and the Blackburn men now
propose to run Dr. T. R. Welsh for
senator against Martin. This will fur-
ther divide the Democrats in the dis-
trict, since Martin, although a gold
mamwas an ardent supporter ofBlack-

burn for senator.

CHICAGO BANK moms.

‘Five Officials of the Defunct Globe Sav-

' ings Institution Indicted.

Chicago, May 3,—The grand jury has
returned indictments against five men
connected with the management of the
defunct Globe Savings bank. The men
indicted are Charles W. Spalding, pres-
ident of the bank and ex-treasurer of
the state university of Illinios; A. D.
Avrill, vice president of the bank;
Charles E. Churchill, cashier; W. B.
Ervin, assistant cashier, and -'Allison
W. Harlan, one of the directors. There
are 29 indictments in all. .

Banker Spalding is included in all the
indictments returned, and in 14 of them
he is alone. Of the latter, 13 charge
Spalding with embezzlement of the
bonds of the University of Illinois, and
one accuses him of embezzling $131,000
of the funds of the university. His to-
tal bonds foot up $90,000. ‘

The other men are indicted on 15
charges, all of them relating-to the re-
ceiving of deposits. Spalding is charged
with embezzle.... at of state funds and
with receiving deposits knowing the
bank to be hopelessly insolvent. The
other men are' charged with the latter
offense only.

Spalding frankly admitted that he
had hypothecated bonds belonging to
the state university and said that 'he
had been advised to do so by John W.
Lanehart, deceased, but ‘at that time a
law partner of ex-Governor Altgeld.

The report of the grand jury in re-

turning’the indictments was very se-
vere in its denunciation of the conduct
of the bank officials and said that the
statute of limitations was all that pre-
vented the indictment of a number of
other men.
,3 A special grand jury will be called in
a few days, and the investigation into
the affairs of the bank will be con-
tinued.

TEE HANGING OF GIBSON.

End of a Remarkable Trial of Almost
National Importance.

Greenville, Miss, May 3.—The hang-
ing here Saturday afternoon of John
Gibson, a colored murderer, was the
closing chapter of a. somewhat remark-
able trial. Gibson was convicted after
a trial of six years for killing Robert
Stinson, a white man.

The trial of Gibson has been one of
almost national importance, being a di-
rect attack on the Federal courts and
upon the validity of the constitution of
Mississippi. The case has been twice
before the supreme court of this state,
and the sentence which has been exe-
cuted was the seventh sentence of death
passed upon Gibson.

Gibson’s counsel contended that the
constitution of Mississippi excluded col-
ored men from petit juries and grand
juries on account of their color, in di-
rect violation of the Federal constitu-
tion and that Mississippi’s representa
tion in congress had not been reduced
to accord with the fourteenth amend-
ment, although the elective franchise
had been reduced by the constitution
of 1890.
