They Are Sending “Irregulars” 'Into Turkish Territory. THE PORTE’S VAIN PROTEST. A Severe Strain on Both Sides \Vhich Can- not Be hIaintained Much Longer—A Declaration of \Var Would Ma- terially Help Greece. Athens, April 14.——The frontier situa- tion is developing slowly for two rea- sons. In the first place, bad weather, snow, rain and bitterly cold winds have made campaigning in the mountainous districts severe, and all movements have consequently been retarded. In the second place, intentionally or other— wise, all dispatches are being consider- ably delayed.: Meanwhile the strain of maintaining armies of about 100,000 men each in the field is being felt with stead- ily increasing severity by both Turkey and Greece. - t . Here and at Constantinople there are daily prolonged meetings of the councils of ministers, and it is generally recog- nized that there must be a decided change in the game before long. Both Greece and Turkey are trying to avoid, if possible, being classed as the aggres- sor in the conflict which is apparently impending, and for this reason they are acting with the greatest caution, also having in view that there is a distinct advantage to the side which can enter into a. conflict with the at least seeming virtue of resisting aggression. The Greek National league, or Ethnike He- tairia, is acting independently and has already pushed forward a. force of 3,000 irregulars, well armed, supplied and equipped, accompanied by an ample commissariat corps, through the center of the Turkish lines, with the twofold object of cutting off communication be— tween the Turkish headquarters in Mac- edonia, at Elassona, where Edhem Pasha is in command, and the Turkish head— quarters in Albania, at Janina, where Hakki'Pasha is in command, and also with the object of getting in the rear of the Turks, raising Macedonia against the rule of the sultan and forming bands of irregulars who will harass the Turk- ish rear, while the regular Greek army does the real fighting in front. “Irregular-s” Sanctioned. In spite of all official denials nobody doubts that the Greek officials were fully cognizant of the movements of the Ethnike Hetairia, which has been open— ly prepared for and freely discussed for a long time past, and whose'procla~ mation on entering Macedonia sets forth its objects. The proclamation was as follows: “Brothers and soldiers of Christ and liberty, we hoist the flag of liberty for the Greek countries. Under its shadow let us unite, having as a watchword 'Liberty or Death.’ The justice of our cause is recognized by all free people. Blessed by God, let us push onward. Brother Greeks, God is with us.~” It is an open secret here that by the end of the present week at least 10,000 Greek “irregulars” will be in Macedo- nia, Albania and Epirus, thus really making successful steps in a. warlike direction before, possibly, a. shot is fired in real earnest between the “reg- ular” forces of either country. Greece, it will thus be seen, isgaining advan- tages every hour and is pushing for- ward her irregulars under the pretense of maintaining the status quo in obe- dience to the representations of the powers. The Turkish minister at Athens yes- terday called the attention . of M. Skouzes, the Greek minister for foreign affairs, to‘the departure from Greece bf further"'irregular” forces into Macedo— nia, complaining of their being able to “evade” the Greek troops. The reply which he received was similar to the one previously made by the Greek pre- mier, ~M. Delyannis, namely, that Greece might make the same complaint as to the vigilance of the Turkish troops, “unless there was a suggestion of connivance between the two armies.” Preparing For Trouble. . The next important movement which will be heard of will be from the Greek headquarters at Arta, where the banks and principal: stores, etc.,'are closing and removing into the interior, every other preparation possible is be- ing made to get out of arm’s way be- fore the war begins in e rnest. At Arta, it is well known here, a force of about 2,000 men, organized by the Ethnike Hetairia, has either started for Turkish territory or is making the final preparations for so doing. This body will be divided into six separate de- tachments, each ably directed and hav- ing a separate destination, with the view of raising the flag of the cross in a certain locality, increasing its num- bers as much as possible and harassing the rear of the Turkish force which will be directed from Janina against the Greek regulars who will operate among the Turks from Arta. The Greek government has given “strict or- ders” tovstop the departure of “irregu- lars;” but, it is semicfficially explained, the Greek commander at Arta, Colonel Manos, is “unable to spare men to. in- tercept them.” Nobody ever expected he would be able to “spare men” to do so. ‘ The Ethnike Hetairia probably counts him among its devoted mem— bers, as it does nearly all the ofllcers in the Greek army, and the colonel can be counted upon not to interfere with the carefully prepared plans of the Na- tional league, which will make Greece a country worthy of its glorious tradi- tions or succumb, bravely struggling to the last in its efforts to bring about a realization of the dream for which its members have solemnly sworn.,to sac.- riflce their lives and all their belong- ings. ' - ' Greeks’ Advantage. ; Repprts from Arta also show that and , shoufi open hostilities break out the“? in the near future the Greeks will proli- ably be able to snatch at leastv several temporary victories from‘ the Turks, as the Greek positions are much stronger than those of the Turks, who, owing to the recent lfavy rains and bad' roads, will have much difficulty in communi- cating with their base of supplies at Ja- nina even if the Greek “irregulars” are, notin their rear for the purpose of preventing them from so doing. On the other hand, the Greeks are able to reach Arta from Athens in 24 hours, thus giving them a fine base of supplies, an immense advantage in ‘a campaign such as the one planned by the Greek leaders. Volunteers from this city have already reached Arta, and more are on their way there. It is the intention of the Greeks when all is ready to attack and capture "Janina, which, according to the treaty pf Ber- lin, rightfully belongs to Greece. Finally, another force of “irregulars” is preparing to cut off. the Turkish com- munications with Salonika, from where the Turks at Elassona derive their sup- plies. If the attempt is successful—~and there seems no reason why it should not be so—the three Turkish army di- visions—the eastern, near Salonika; the central, at Elassona, and the western, at Janina, in addition to the army corps at Grevena—will be cut off from communication with each other. In ad- dition the Greek fleet proposes 'to make things lively off Salonika itself in order to prevent the landing of any supplies there. First ltIove at Baltino. The first move in the plan of campaign was at Baltino, which was occupied by the Greek irregulars after they. had driven the Turks out of the place, nearly capturing the Turkish garrison. From there the Greeks pushed on to the vicin- ity of Grevena, cutting off Turkish com- munication with Janina. The next move will be from Arta, and it will be follow- ed by an attempt to cut the Salonika line. The blockade of that port should follow. . A strong Greek fleet is off Arta, to render effective service in that vicinity. Another Greek fleet is off the island of Skiathos, prepared to strike at Salonika. Ancther Greek fleet is off the island of Skyro, prepared to attack the Turkish islands in the Egean sea. When the communications of the Turkish division at Janina are cut on‘. its position will be precarious, especial- ly in the event of a rising of the Alba- nians in its rear, which is one of the ob- jects which the Ethnike Hetairia has in View. _ A significant fact, pointing to the way the wind is blowing, is that the Greek government has telegraphed to Colonel Berthes, who has promised to, bring with him 2,000 Italian volunteers, telling him to hold himself and his men inread- iness to come here at any moment. All the Greek deputies have been summoned to attend the next meeting of the boule, when an important pro— nouncement is expected. The powers, however, are still trying to avert war, but there is little pros- pect of success in that direction. It is stated that. the French embassador at Constantinople, M. Cambon, has been instructed to draft an autonomous con- stitution for the island of Crete, allow- ing the Cretans to choosetheir own governor and providing for a simul- taneous Greek and Turkish evacuation of the island. It is feared these efforts will turn out to have been made too late. Plans of the Greeks. London, April 14.—A special dispatch from Constantinople alleges that the Greek plan was to stir up a 'rebellion in Macedonia to blockade Salonika and to attack Prevesa, the .town on the Turk- ish side of the entrance of the gulf of Arta and Smyrna by sea,-as well as to endeavor to force the passage of the Dardanelles with the torpedo division of the Greek fleet. Edhem Pasha, the Turkish command- er in chief in Macedonia, the dispatch adds, has reported to his government that the Greek insurgents attacked the Turks simultaneously at nine differ- ent points. He further says they were speedily surrounded, that several pris- oners were taken and that the latter have been sent to Salonika. He con- cludes with stating that the loss of the insurgents was heavy. ,- In Case of War. St. Petersburg, April 14.—The Novoe Vremya declares that all coercion of Greece upon the part of the powers will cease so long as war is declared, be— cause otherwise it would bear the char- acter cf pro-Turkish intervention. Bought One-half of a City. Kansas City, April 14.—A deed was placed on file in Kansas City, Kan., conveying to William J.

My sister has also used the medi- cine with most satisfactory results and joins me in saying that it is a fine medi- Cine.” Catarrh in itsvfully developed forms is a hideous disease, involving decay, filth and actual rottenness, with most offensive odors in the very seat of the organs of taste and smell; firmly fixed there, it be- gins to attack the membrane lining of the passages leading to the lungs or the = stomach; resulting either in consumption, or what is often called dyspepsia. It is really catarrh of the stomach, intestines, .- liver, kidneys and various internal pas- ‘ sages. California Catarrh Cure will cure all forms of catarrli, and will checkeven incipient consumption. All dealers, 50 cents, three times as much, one dollar.
