, orbitant Demands Upon Greece as
the Price of Peace. '
ALL OF HER VESSELS TO G0.
The Hellenes Routed at Kamarina—Pow-
ers Said to Lie Agreed as to Media-
tion—A Russian Plan to Have
King George Dethroncd.
Vienna, May 11.—It is reported here
that Turkey’s terms of peace with
Greece include the payment of an in—
demnity of $15,000,000, a rearrangement
pf the Greekjfrontier, the annulling of
he treaties favoring the Greeks, lthe
‘éSSiquTiOf thei'GI-eek fleet to Turkey
‘ 'ment of the Cretan ques-
;.- Gréek Forces Itouted.
Constantinople, May 11,—The Turk-
ist commander at Janina telegraphs
that the Greek forces at Kamarina
have been routed by three battalions of
Turkish troops, who oécupied Kama-
rina. ‘
The Greeks gathered :n a, church on
the heights above the villageywhence
they fired upon the Turks, who took
the church by assault, killing many of
the Greeks and capturing some prison-
ers. The remainder of the Greeks re-
tired to the bridge of Agros Georgis,
where they made a determined stand,
but were finally routed by the Turks.
. Edhem Pasha, the Turkish command-
er in Thessaly, has telegraphed from
Velestino to the ministry of war giving
details of the occupation of Volo by the
Turkish troops, the institution of Ot-
toman administration there, the with—
drawal of the Greek fleet from that
port, the seizure of large quantities of
munitions of war and has requested
that Turkish customs officers be sent
to Volo in order to insure a continuance
of business at that port.
The Larissa Disgrace.
Athens, May 11.—The Journal Akropr
olis publishes some startling revela-
tions. It sent a correspondent to Phar—
salos to investigate the cause of the re-
. treat from Larissa, and he questioned
the dismissed staff.
The officers positively denied giving
the order for ageneral retreat from
Mati and declared that they were not
responsible for the abortive attack on
Menexe. They explained that the re-
treat began with wholesale desertions
from the division of Colonel Mavro—
‘ michaelis, facing the Turkish position
at Dereli. ,
Then the panic spread. The staff was
powerless to check it, and a reorganiza- '-
tion: to defend Larissa was impossible.
M. Roll-i game to headquarters during
the night and begged the staff to save
the army.
With reference to the retreat in
—Epirus, the papers print the following
extraordinary telegram from Colonel
Botzari:
“It is a disgraceful slander to say
that I ordered the retreat. My brigade
had advanced Victoriously to the gates
Of Janina. Why it retreated is a ques-
tion for a court martial to decide, and
the guilty parties should be punished
with death."
A dispatch from Domokos says that
the Turkish advance posts have reach-
ed Skirmetzi and that the Turks are
moving forward in considerable force
from Pharsalos on the Domokos-Almy-
Iros line, with a view of cutting off Gen—
eral Smolentz.
Colonel Vassos and his party have
started for Epirus. Some mystery at-
taches to the circumstances under
which he left Crete. The commander
of an Italian torpedo boat reported to
Admiral Canevaro that he had seen
Colonel Vassos and four companions in
a heat off the island of Crete.
Colonel Vassos had great difficulty in
leaving Crete, as all the foreign war-
ships were on the alert. He departed
from the island on a dark night, after
passing the two previous nights in a
cavern.
The Retreat From Pharsalos.
London, May 11.'—The Times’ corre-
spondent at Velestino says: ”VVhen the
troops here heard of the retreat from
Pharsalos, they pronounced it a betray-
al. Certainly it is unfortunate that the
Crown Prince Constantine should a
second time be obliged tobegin a re-
treat.”
V010 Is Quiet.
Larissa, May 11.—The Greek fleet has
left Volo, but the French, Italian and
British guardships remain. “The town
is quiet and has been occupied by the
Turkish troops. A considerable num-
ber of the latter have taken up posi—
tions on the surrounding heights. The
bulk of the Ottoman army, however,
has been withdrawn and is marching
in another direction.
Quantities of arms, ammunition and
anumberof ambulances were captured
by the Turks at V010.
All the heights commanding Phar-
salos are now occupied by the Turks.
Edhem Pasha, the Turkish com-
, ‘finander, all his generals and a number
of officers of lower rank have been dec-
orated and many of the Turkish offi-
cers have been promoted.
A fresh division of nizams, armed
with mauser rifles, has, arrived here
and proceeds to the front.
Wants King George Dethroned.
London, May 11.—A Copenhagen dis-
patch says: .
“The secret struggle at the Russian
court continues.
foreign minister, who has absolute in-
fluence over the czar, resists the influ-
ence of the dowager empress and wishes
to see the Danish dynasty in Greece de- ,
throned and expelled. Count Muravieff
has succeeded in persuading the czar to
postpone his tour.” '
Count Muravieff was the Russian
minister at the Danish court when he
was appointed the czar‘s foreign min-
ister. He had been stationed there for
years, and was a great favorite with
the dowager czarina, who is the king
of Denmark’s daughter, until he re-
cently thwarted her efforts to have her
son, the czar, aid her brother, the. king
of Greece. Since then they have been.
at swords’ points, but the count is said
to have gained a controlling influence
river the czar.
Powers Arc Agreed, Perhaps.
Paris, May 11.—-—A semioflicial com-
munique was published this afternoon
saying the impression prevails that the
Count Muravieff, the '
recent negotiations between Greece and
Turkey will not be attended by great
difficulties and will soon have a satis-
factory issue. The p'owers, it is fur-
ther stated, had already agreed among
themselves upon the conditions of
peace. Germany’s hesitation was due
to the fact that the Greek government,
in a. circular to its representatives at
the courts Of the powers, did not for-
mally adhere to Cretan autonomy, as
demanded by the powers. Greece sub—
sequently gave the necessary assur-
ance. .
VICTORIA’S WAITERS MAY STRIKE.
Kick Over Discrimination For Jubilee
/ Help at a Palace.
London, May 11.—The British govern-
ment and the Amalgamated Waiters’
society are about to clash. The waiters
allege that her majesty’s officials disre-
gard the “fair wage clause.” ,4
The trouble has been brought to a
crisis by the jubilee preparations.
Seven hundred extra waiters will be
employed at Buckingham palace. These
men will be paid: Head waiters, $10.50
a. dayi ordinary waiters, $5.25. Only
men standing 5 feet 10 inches will be
engaged, and all vacancies will be filled
by men who are, or have been, in pri-
vate service.
The Waiters’ society is taking steps
to have this matter brought before par-
liament, and if any discrimination is
shown in favor of the so called “gen-
tleman waiter” a general strike will be
ordered so soon as the celebration be—
gins.
Striped Prison Suits to Be Abandoned.
Lansing, Kan, \May 11.—The board
of directors of the state penitentiary
have announced to the convicts that
the regulation striped uniforms will be
discarded beginning on the 4th Of July.
The new garb of the convicts is to be of
gray material, with black stripes along
the outer seam of the trousers and also
under the coat sleeves. The old striped
uniforms will be worn‘ only in the coal
mine and by offenders against prison
discipline.
Fraudulent Practices of Marshals.
Alva, O. T., May.11.—Inspector Tay-
lor of the department of justice, who
has been present during the past week
inspecting court affairs and investigat-
ing charges. against deputy United
States marshals, has left for Washing-
ton to make his report. It will expose
the practice of going out and dragging
in scores of farmers on trivial timber
cutting charges in order to bleed the
government for fees.
The Dispensary Scandals.
Columbia, S. 0., May 11.—-The dis-
pensary scandals have, culminated in
the arrest of Seth W. Scruggs, ex-clerk
of the board of control, and of John T.
Gaston, an err-commissioner. Scruggs
and Gaston are charged with taking
from the contraband room at the dis—
pensary cigars. fruits and other arti-
cles. It is said that this has been the
regular practice of the employees at
the dispensary.
The Brussels Exposition Opened.
Brussels, May 11.»The Brussels ex-
position was formally opened at 2
o’clock this afternoon in the presence
of the ministers, the diplomatic corps
and the civil and military authorities,
Large crowds were present. M. de

mittee, and M. Nyssens, minister of
public works, made speeches. The inau—
gural cantata was rendered by a choir

Death of an Aged River Man.
Troy, N. Y., May 11.—Captain_Joseph
King, who claimed that he was 106
years old last Wednesday, died at his
home in Lansingburg today. He claim—
ed to be of Indian descent, and his ap-
pearance was a corroboration of his
assertion. Until the last presidential
election he had been a stanch Demo-
crat, but he broke away from the party
[on the silver issue and voted for Mc-
Kinley.
lVIauy Seamen Drowned.
Hamburg, May 11.-—A dispatch from
the island .of Heligoland announces that

liari, island of Sardinia, for Stockholm,

ported that 13 of the two crews have
been saved and that many others were
drowned.

United States found fishing .in Cana-
dian waters. The vessels succeeded in
escaping. but the captain of the Petrel
seized 77 nets and about 2 tons of fish
which the Americans were obliged to
abandon.
Canadian Lumber and Our Tariff.
Montreal, May 11.—The lumber men of
the Ottawa district are very quiet now
over the effect of the Dingley tariff bill
on their industry.» As the market for
this year’s output has been practically
arranged, the effect will not be felt un-
til after the mills shut down for this
season’s cut, but the effect on next
year’s trade, they declare, will be disas-
trous.
Burglars In a Priest’s House.
South Bend, Ind., May 11.—Tw0
masked robbers entered the residence
of Rev. Joseph Flache at Dyer, Ind.

failed to work, and he was roughly
handled. ->

Knoxville, May 11.—The operators Of
the Jellico mining district were in con-

LYNOHING III PROSPECT.
Mobs Searching: For the Murderers of Cap-
tain Strong and Pete Ainsley.
Louisville, May 11.—T'.vo picturesque
and desperate characters were killed
in Kentucky yesterday, and Judge
Lynch sits today in both cases, await-
ing the capture of the murderers. Cap-
tain William Strong, leader of the Red
Strings, a faction in Breathitt county,
was assassinated as he was riding to a
country church. The mule he rode was
riddled with bullets. The Red Strings
had been divided for some time, and
more than ten men on each side had
been killed within a few months, but
they met recently and agreed on a
truce. The murder will bring on new
trouble and start the war afresh.
Pete Amsley, the leader of the now
notorious VVeder faction, which has
been ready to shoot any member of the
Bolen faction on sight for years, was
killed in Leslie county as he sat in his
cabin door, far up on the mountain
side. A big mob is out in search of his
assassin, and the whole factional trou-
ble will be started again.
Both murderers will be lynched, and
there is strong probability of the cap-
ture of both.
Alleged Steals In the Chicago Tunnel.
Chicago, May 11.—The‘Chicago Citi-
zens’ association charges that the con-
tractors digging the north side water
tunnel have mulcted the city for $69,-
120.80. The steal, it is charged, has been
made by the granting of claims for eit-
tras—extras which it is expressly stated
in the contracts should not be paid for,
by the payment for excavations of mud
as excavations of rock and by pay-
ments for material not used and labor
not employed.
Died of Excitement.
Chicago, May 11.—TVhile boating on
Lake Michigan Matthew Roche and his
10-year—old nephew, Harry Flinn, at-
tempted tO exchange seats. The boat
was overturned, and the boy was
drowned. Albert Mattarl, who was in
the crowd-at the water’s edge, suddenly
pitched forward on his face dead. His
death is ascribed to excitement caused
by watching the struggles of the
drowning boy.
Connecticut Tax Problems.
New Haven, May 11.——Governor Cooke
is quoted as saying in an interview that
in case a state tax on towns becomes
necessary to strengthen the state treas—
ury the smaller farm towns should be
granted an exemption of from $100,000
to $200000 on their grand lists. The
governor opposes bonding the state for’
improved roads.
