Formal Declaration of Armistice Said
to Have Been Made.
THE WHITE FLAG AT ARTA.
Turkey Checked by Powers —— Orders Di-
recting Edhem Pasha to Suspend Hos-
tilities Followed Promptly—The
Battle at Domokos.
Constantinople, May 19.—There was a.
sudden and unexpected change in the
political situation today, as the result
of which orders were telegraphed to
Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander
in chief in Thessaly, to cease hostili-
ties. Peace negotiations will now be
undertaken in earnest, and the Greeks
will probably be spared further humili-
ation.
This result is ascribed to Russian in-
fluences, which resulted in forcing Ger—
many and the Turkish war party to
one side. Last night and early this
morning Turkey, supported by Ger-
many, was practically defying Russia,
France, Austria, Great Britain and
Italy, insisting upon the annexation of
Thessaly in addition to a huge war in-
demnity, and was determined to march
on Athens. Then came a rumor late
last night that Bulgaria was preparing
to mobilize her forces. This caused
alarm at the palace, and the feeling of
consternation was increased when the
porte received official advices from So-
fia this morning announcing that orders
had been issued for the partial mobili-
zation of the Bulgarian army. There
was a hurried consultation of the min-
isters. The war party was for further
defiance, but in the end pacific counsels
prevailed, and the orders were tele-
graphed to Edhem Pasha.
Germany the Stumbling Block.
The note which the representatives
of the powers here drew up at the long.
meeting which they held on Sunday,
intended for presentation to the Turk-
ish government as soon as the German
embassador received the necessary in—
structions from his government, in ad-
dition to repeating the request for an
armistice and declaring the powers
would not permit Greece to be crushed,
reminded the porte of its circular is-
sued on April 18, expressly disclaiming
any desire for conquest.
This note, although its contents were
known to [the Turkish government, had
not been presented this morning, as the
instructions of Baron Saurma von
Jeltsch, the German embassador, did
not permit him to join in the step upon
which all the other embassadors were
fully agreed. Germany continued to
oppose any action tending to press Tur-
key to cease hostilities, and disapprov-
ed of any measure directed from an
anti-Turkish standpoint.
The embassadors this morning pro-
posed to hold another meeting .to dis-
.cuss the drawing up of a fresh note,
the wording of which might conform
more to the views of Germany.
‘In official Turkish circles the propos-
ed annexation of Thessaly is not re-
garded as being the conquest of part of
Greece. The Turks argue that this
province was ceded to Greece for de-
fined purposes and that, as the Greeks
have abused the rights conferred upon
them, Turkey resumes possession of the
territory belonging to her.
\Vhite Flag Hoisted.
Athens, May 19.—The Turks have
hoisted the White flag at Arta, from
which it is judged that the Turkish
commander has received instructions
that an armistice has been agreed
upon. ‘
Greeks Abandon Domokos.
L'ami'a, Thessaly, May 19.—The Greeks
have abandoned Domokos as. the re-
sult of the serious defeat sustained in
yesterday’s battle with the Turkish
forces under Edhem Pasha. The Turks
were estimated to number 50,000 and
the Greeks 35,000. The fighting lasted
until 9 o’clock last night.
_ Almyros Lost Too.
Athens, May 19.—A private telegram
received here announces that the
Greeks have abandoned Almyros, which
has been occupied by 1,500 Turks. Gen-
eral Smolentz is retreating on Kepha-
losi.
It is reported that the Greek retreat
on the Othrys mountains was marked
by great confusion and disorder.
Colonels Vassos and Limbricis start-
ed for the front today with the whole
of the garrison of Athens.
Destitut’ion In Epirus.
Manchester, May 19.—The Guardian
today publishes a dispatch from its
correspondent with the Greeks which
says: -
“The destitution in Epirus of the
Greeks is appalling. Everything they
had in‘ the world has been burned or
pillaged. The scenes in their flight
were dreadful. Young girls flung them—
selves from the rocks to escape out-
rage, and a youth shot his two sisters
to save them. A boy who was captured
by the Turks had his lips, nose and ears
cut off and his eyes torn out before he
was killed."
The Sultan Confers Decorations.
Constantinople, May 19.—The sultan
has decorated the commanders of the
vari, us corps of Turkish troops which
have been operating against the Greeks
in Epirus.
The ministry of public works has de-
cided to send engineers to Thessaly for
the purpose of rebuilding the railroads
which have been damaged during the
course of the campaign.
Telegrams from Vol'o are now coming
in Turkish characters.
Details of the Fighting.
Headquarters of the Greek‘ Army,
Domokos, May 18 (delayed in trans-
mission).———The battle between the
Turks and Greeks which began here
at noon today was by far the fiercest of
.the war. " The Turks now in front of
Domokos advanced their infantry in
extended order, making a sustained
attack upon the Greek trenches. The
musketry rattle has been incessant for
the last four. hours, but the Turks have
not appreciably advanced.
The Ottoman batteries in position are
hardly less than 100, outnumbering ours
by two to one. The burning villages
Acropolis and an old fort, upon each
which places siege guns have been
mounted. The reverberation of their
reports in the hills is terrific.
. The actual-Greek losses so far have
been V small in consequence of the
strength of the positions of the Greeks
and the number of their intrench-
ments, but the Turks were much ex—
posed and must have lost heavily. An
artillery caisson blew up in the rear of
the battery in front of me at 6 o’clock,
killing several men.
The women of the Red Cross society
drove from Domokos to the scene of the
fighting and remained in the field
througho\ut the whole battle.
Austria’s and Russia’s Views.
Vienna, May 19.—The semiofficial
Fremdenblatt makes a statement today
which is regarded as outlining the
views of Austria and Russia on the
eastern situation as developed by the
extravagant demands of Turkey, sup-
ported, apparently, by Germany. It
says: ’
“By selecting Pharsalos as the place
to discuss the peace negotiations the
Turkish government appears to be de-
sirous of eluding the intervention of
the powers. In fact, the Turkish gov-
ernment is under a misapprehension as
to the situation. The integrity of Tur-
key, upon which Europe has laid stress
and which Austria and Russia in the
plainest terms have declared to be the
basis of their policy, is far from mean-
ing that Turkey can act in the Balkan
peninsula as she pleases and without
regard for the powers. If Turkey feels
the need of the intervention of the pow—
ers on behalf of her own integrity, she
cannot escape the other kind of inter-
vention which aims at preventing her
from deriving an extravagant advan-
tage from her victories.
“The Turkish conditions of peace are
immeasurably exaggerated. Europe
cannot assent to the retrocession of
Thessaly, nor can it be brought about
by a continuance of the war which the
victories of Turkey have rendered pur-
poseless.
“Further, the excessive amount of
indemnity cannot but arouse the oppo-
sition of the powers, as it is far be-
yond the capacity of Greece to pay.
Again, by the abolition of the capitula-
tions a precedent would be created
which the powers could not accept.
Turkey would do better to seek advan-
tage from her victories in an enlarged
capacity of action, in internal reorgan-
ization and in'ending the disintegrating
misgovernment. In short, the inter-
vention of Europe in behalf of the in-
tegrity of Turkey means neither the re-
versal of everything in the Balkans nor
the continuance of the old, evil condi-
tions which prevail in Turkey."
lilayor Gleason Must Appear.
New York, May 19.—The assault
charge against Mayor Gleason came
up before Police Justicelngraham in
Long Island City and was adjourned
until May 25. None of the principals
was in court. The failure of Mayor
Gleason’s attorney to appear before
Justice Van Wyck in Brooklyn yester-
day to ask for a certificate transferring
the case to the Queens county grand
jury was due to the attorney’s illness.
It is understood that an application
will yet be made.
The Paris Disaster.
St. Louis, May 19.—Mrs. Ferdinand
Garesche received a telegram stating
that her grandniece, Miss Madeline Le
Clerq, 15, was among those burned to

born in St. Louis, and the family was
well known here. Miss Le Clerq’s
grandmother, Mrs. Naomi La. Baume
Hicks, lives in Rue’de Courcelles, Paris.
Madeline was her only grandchild.

VICTORIOUS CUBANS.
they Do Great Damage to a. Spanish Force
by Medus of Dynamite.
Havana, May 19.—General Ducassee,
who is in Pinarf del Rio province, re-
ports that he recently had engagements
at Candelara and also at Guadalupe
Alonso Rosga. At the former place he
captured the town, and the small Span-
lsh_garrison was forced to retreat. The
station was burned and a large portion
of the railroad damaged. At Guadalupe
the fight was more serious. A large
Spanish. detachment had been sent
from Pinar del Rio city to attack a
Cuban stronghold. They were ambush-
ed by the insurgent force under Del-
gado.
The Cubans had a dynamite gun with
them. The first notice of the fisesence
of the enemy the Spaniards had was
the explosion of dynamite shells in their
ranks. These cut down the soldiers by
the dozens and created a. panic at once.
The troops hurried to the shelter of the
wooded hill and there made a-stand.
The Cubans advanced and got in range
of the Spaniards. The dynamite shells
fell again among the Spaniards, cre-
ating considerable loss. 'At times the
shells hit trees and broke them into
flinders. Fragments flew in all direc-
tions, producing a scene of the utmost
destruction. For a half hour the gov-
ernment troops stood the bombard-
ment. Then they broke wildly and fled.
The Cubans pursued them, and a run-
ning fight ensued for several hours.
A letter from a staff officer of General
Ducassee says that the Spanish loss
was over 200 men and that the Cubans
captured a large number of arms and a.
quantity of supplies, as well as a small
rapid fire gun. General Ducassee has
complete control of the province and
has established cultivated stations
where hundreds of pacificos are man-
aging to exist. Spanish troops never
venture out of the fortified towns ex-
cept in large numbers. Railroad travel
is almost entirely suspended, and it is
only carried on with armored cars.
Either pacificos or Cuban women, who
are held as captives, are placed in the
forward part of the train in open
coaches, so that the Cubans can see
them and will not attack the train.

‘9 “Der Burggraf” 3 Failure.
Berlin, May 19.—The first perform—
ance of Captain Lauff's historical dra-
ma, “Der Burggraf.” which was ar-
ranged for the stage by Emperor Wil-
liam, could scarcely boast of a succes
d’estime at Wiesbaden.. The didactic
play, with its laboriously pointed moral
at the end, was staged regardless of
cost, but its reported “great success"
was confined strictly to the entourage
of the emperor.
Two Happy Farmers.
Modesto, Cal., May 19,— Two happy
farmers will leave this city for Kala-
mazoo, Mich., to claim fortunes left to
them by a deceased stepfather. Henry
Breese died on April Bu, leaving Vital

HAWAIIAN RBGIPROOITY.
Its Restoration to the Pending Tariff
Bill Is Considered Probable.
Washington, May 18.—Several south-
ern senators have been informed by the
friends of the sugar schedule, as con-
structed by the finance committee, that
their interests will be made the subject
of reprisals if they do not vote for the
schedule. After this method of induc-
ing votes was used a proposition was
made to the California senators to give
them the Hawaiian reciprocity clause
of the Dingley bill in exchange for their
support of the sugar schedule of the
finance committee. These circum-
stances are taken as a fair indication
of the coming contest on the various
schedules of the tariff bill. There is
no doubt of a safe majority in favor of
passing the bill, but the form which
certain schedules shall have in the fin-
ished measure will be the subject of
some very shrewd trading between the
east and the west as represented in the
senate chamber.
It is said that Senator Aldrich of the
finance committee stated two days ago
that if the senate refuses to accept the
committee’s sugar schedule there will
be no tariff bill passed at the present
session. Though it is now known that
the report is not true, it is quite certain
that Mr. Aldrich has set his heart on
the sugar schedule as it now stands.
It is equally certain that he and the
other Republican senators who are in-
terested in that schedule are prepared
to entreat their western associates in
the senate for the purpose of carrying
it through. Some of the far western
senators have been threatened with re-
prisals affecting citrus fruits and other
coast products in which they are par-
ticularly interested in case they oppose
the Aldrich sugar tariff.
The probability grows stronger every
day that the Hawaiian reciprocity
clause of the present law will become a
part of the senate bill and that it will
be reaffirmed again by a majority there.
From the freely expressed opinions of
many senators it appears that the ac-
tion of the finance committee in strik-
ing out the Hawaiian reciprocity clause
of the Dingley bill does not represent
the prevailing sentiment in the senate.
The most vigorous opposition to the
Hawaiian treaty which a few weeks
ago it was expected would be exerted
by Senator Allen and others who are
opponents of the Sugar trust will not
appear, probably, now that it is learned
the trust desires the abrogation of the
treaty. This fact makes the vote of
three years ago, which was 5 to 1
against abrogation, likely to be repeat-
ed if the matter comes to a vote.
THE PIUTE OUTRAGES.
The Wallahi ‘Vould Like to Help Ex-
terminate the other Tribe.
Kingman, A. T., May 18.—The sher-
iff’s posse has returned to White Hills
from the chase after Ahvote, the Piute
Indian murderer. They report that the
body of Judge J. M. Morton was found
in a cabin at Goldbug, seven miles be-
low Eldorado canyon, shot through the
head. Ahvote was killed on Cottonwood
island in the Colorado river, 30 miles
below the canyon. The bodies of five
of his victims have been found. Dep-
uty Sheriff Rosbrough left here with a
posse to arrest Mouse, the other Piute
Indian murderer.
The Wall-ahi Indians held a big pow-
wow and expressed a desire to go out
and exterminate the southern Nevada
band of Piutes. They say that for
years Indians reported the killing of
whites by this band of renegades. Chief
Levy offered the services of 100 war-
riors to the whites for the purpose of
driving all the Piutes away from the
Colorado river.
Insurgents In Uruguay Routed.
Montevideo, May 18.—A battle lasting

that the insurgents were completely
routed and that the uprising is consid-
ered to be at an end, the insurgents
lacking ammunition and desertions
from their ranks being numerous.

Died at Bridgeport, on Tuesday last,
John Chapman Dudley, in the 74th year
of his age. Mr. Dudley was a. gentle-
man of the old school and until the last
retained the / courteous manners and
dignified bearing that marked his gen-
tle blood and kindly spirit. He was a
strong republican, and had held sever-
al town offices. He was reticent of
speech, but his utterances always car-
ried weight and were listened to with
respect. When a young man he was
prominent in New York society, hav-
ing at one time conducted a prosperous
business in that city. On the death of
his father Ashel Dudley, some thirty
years ago, he returned to the old home-
stead on Chestnut. Hill, where with his
sister, Mrs. Susan Green, to whom he
'Was tenderly attached, he has lived in
quiet and seclusion. Mr. Dudley was
one of the most generous of men, al-
ways considering a friend’s necessities
before his own. A few weeks ago his
increasing ill health to-gether with his
sister’s severe illness, made it advisable
for him to go to the Bridgeport hospital,
where his death occurred. His re-
mains were brought to Wilton and his
funeral held from his own home.
