WAR NEWS.

A Constantinople dispatch of the 25th
says that on account of threatening de-
monstrations by the Softas, an order had
been issued simultaneously with a procla-
nation of martial law, which forbids the
carrying of arms, authorizes domiciliary
visits of police in quest of arms, au-
thorizes the Punishment of suspected
persons without previous trial, and forbids
the assembling of crowds in the streets. A
dispatch from Erzeroum says that Mukhtar
Pasha's headquarters are to be removed to
that place, which is the point of junction Of
all Armenian roads, and is the only place
from which operations can be directed.
A Bucharest telegram of the Goth says
the Russians had blown up another Turk
ish monitor in the Danube by means of
launches bearing tOrpedoes. The Russian
forces in Asia Minor were steadily advance
ing upon Erzeroum.
On the 2Sth Abdul Kerim Pasha,
Turkish Commander in Chief, informed
the inhabitants of Rustchuk, Varna, Schum-
la and Silistria that all persons who had not
provisions for at least six months must leave
within y days. A Bucharest dispatch states
that it is expected that the Russians will
cross the Danube June 10.
The outlook of affairs at Constantine
pie is thus portrayed by correspondent,
whose letter was published on the 10Th and
written a few days previously: Credit
Pasha, Minister of War, is now Dictator,
and, for the time, more powerful than ever.
Great anxiety prevails among the European
population, who fear that during the siege,
if news of fresh disaster arrives, there
will be a collision between the populace
and the troops. Our position is one of
very great danger, and is generally so re-
garded. 1t is certain that fresh disasters
must happen. The fall of Arabian and
Bayazid has enabled the Russians to march
in two converging lines towards Erzeroum.
They have turned to Erzeroum, and Muhk-
tar Pasha must either accept battle against
vastly superior force or capitulate. If
he is beaten, Erzeroum must fall, for it is
without Notifications, and the force in it is
small"
A st. Petersburg dispatch of the 30th
says that all army movements, both on the
Danube and IN the Caucasus, are delayed by
heavy rains. A dispatch from COnstanti-
nople states that the Porte has made levies
on the Christians for 100000 troops.
1t is officially announced that the Turks
have retaken Arabian, but no particulars
given. There are rumors from Berlin of
negotiations for peace being in progress.
1t was reported via Vienna, 31st, that
the Turkish commander, Muhktar Pasha,
had been dismissed from the service, and
will be court-martialed for representing
that he had equipped an army of 10000 men,
whereas he had only 10000 at his disposal.
Malversation on an enormous scale is said to
have been discovered in the Turkish COM
missary department.
1t was reported on the 1st that a Rus
sian squadron was trying to force an en-
trance into the mouth of the Danube at
Sulina, in order to assist the movement of
troops across the river.

THE wife and daughters of the Chinese
farmer walk about the world with such
feet as it has pleased God to give them;
and very pretty feet and ankles they
generally are. In fact, whatever want
of beauty of feature there may be among
the Chinese women, no one can deny
them the merit of remarkably beautiful
feet, ankles, hands and arms. OF the
rest of the figure one can judge but in
differently from their peculiar though
not ungraceful costumes. In the coun-
try villages the young girls and matrons
may be seen at their doors, or grouped
together beneath the trees, or in the
yard attached to the house, engaged in
household or farm occupation, laugh
ing the while in merry chorus to their
work

Gold Mills in Georgia.

There are 10 or 20 gold mills in North
western Georgia, some propelled by
steam, but the majority by water. In
Lumpkin County, the waters of the Ia
hoola Greek are brought some 20 miles
by canal and an iron tube, and a hy-
draulic power of 250 feet pressure is OBJ
tanned for washing away the earth, rocks

Dead Men Come to Life.

Two cowardly men who tried to COW
er up the cold-blooded desertion of their
families by making it appear that they
were murdered ror dead, have lately
been identified in Louisville, Ky. One
of them is Farmer Buckhorst of Law
renceburg, Ind, who five years ago sold
his farm for cash and then was suddenly
missing. On a neighboring road was
found the farmers shirt and coat torn
to shreds along withevidences of a fear
full struggle. OF course the theory was
that the farmer had been murdered for
his money, and an old man living in the
vicinity, who happened to have a sus-
picious amount of ready cash, came
near being lynched by an excited vigil
lance committee as the murderer. But
the mystery remained and the man was
mourned as dead by his poverty strick-
en- wife and children, until few DAYS
ago Buckhorst was discovered by an old
neighbor driving hack in Louisville,
where he is now living with another
woman, and talks about his old esca-
pade as good joke. The other case of
desertion was that of Matt Schott, who
few years since ran away from York
vile, Ind, leaving a wife and children
and 81 900 in bad debts He made it
appear to all concerned that he was
drowned. His family was thrown up
on the town, and finally drifted to the
county poorhouse, from which they have
just been rescued by the death of
Schott's father, who left them over Sl5,-
900. Learning of this fact, Schott jun
ior's cupidity has induced him to come
out of his hiding-place near Louisville,
where he has been living with another
woman, and put in his claim to his IA
theirs estate.

IT is reported that the President, with
the concurrence of the Cabinet, has de-
cided to recall all our foreign Ministers,
upon the ground that these higher d.
plomatic officers sustain relations to the
President similar 10 those of Cabinet
Ministers; that the civil-service rules do
not apply TO them, and that they, in the
very nature of the case, ought to change
with the Administration. Among the
new appointments decided upon, as
rumored, is that of eX-Gov. Osborn, of
Kansas, rs Minister to Chill, and Gen.
Stephen Hurlbut, of Illinois, as Minister
TO Brazil, the latter mission having been
rendered to Gen. Logan and declined
by him.

FURTHER information regarding the
extent of the destruction on the Southern
Pacific coast, caused by the earthquake
and tidal wave Of May 10, has been re-
ceived at Panama, though but few
particulars are known regarding the de-
tails of the disaster. The towns of Anto-
fagasta, Iquique, africa, Tambo, DeMoro,
Pabellon, De Plea and Ilo were almost
entirely destroyed, and other seaports
along the coast of Chill and Peru suffer-
ed great damage. The sea in some
places rose to a height of over 60 feet.
There was undoubtedly great loss of
life, but the destruction of the telegraph
lines has rendered it impossible to get
any more exact information.

does not involve the question of formal
recognition of the Diaz Government, but
merely deals with it as the only party
that can be addressed. Some weeks
must necessarily elapse before a re-
spouse to our demand can be received,

immediate invasion of Mexican soil by

ENTIRELY DESTITUTE.

Captain Waddell and officers behaved
splendidly-brave, humane, unselfsh.
Captain Waddell says seven steam
pumps of one hundred and sixty bar
rels per minute were absolutely useless.
He has run vessels over the spot repeat
edly. His only conjecture is that the
late earthquake, which was made man
fest on The coast by tidal wave, may
have upheaved submarine rock. In
one hour and two minutes the ship was
under the waves. She was going at
II knots when the rock was
struck. The Captain was on the
bridge an hour before the steamer
struck, and estimated every thing by his
watch. Twenty minutes after she struck
the fires were out. In that 20 minutes
she was running in towards shore under
a full head of steam, and run AZ miles,
making the distance nine or ten miles,
and there grounded in so feet of water
on a sand bottom. Next morning the
foot of the stern was seen out of the
water with the whole body of the ship
submerged and the mizzen mast gone.
The baggage of passengers, furniture,
etc., were constantly floating ashore
during the day. The money of passen-
gers in the purser's hands, the ships
money, and all baggage are totally lost.

From interviews with many of the
passengers, find that there is a unani-
nous sentiment of the warmest feeling
toward the commander and officers.
Every man says emphatically that the
officers did all that men could do. The
Captain declares that his officers and
men stood to their duty nobly. The
best drilled man-of-war men couldn't
have acted with better discipline, and
responded to every order with more
fidelity. Captain Waddell, Purser Je-
