Ready for the Struggle.

London, June 15.-In the Timok dis
trict there are stores and provisions
collected in the more exposed places,
which Are kept intact despite the wants
of the population. The militia have
not been called out, except for usual
drill, but all have been warned to be
ready at the first summons. Members
of the service corps have received SINH
lar warning.
A letter from Belgrade and from a
good source says the reorganization of
the forces is all but complete. In the
active army only men have been taken
who are drilled and have seen service.
Others have been enrolled in the
second-class reserves. The former are
tolerably well armed with breech-load-
ing guns, which were hidden in the
ground at Alexinatz and other places,
SO as to be safe from the Turks. The
repairing Of old and the construction
of new Notifications has been going on

New York, June 15.-The Turkish
minister communicates to the Asso-
ciated Press a dispatch, of which the
following is a translation:
CoNsTANTINoPLE, June -.
To Minister Of Turkey at Wdshington:
In consequence of the demand of the
Imperial Government for the substitu-
ton on our ambulance service of a Red
Crescent for the Red Cross, doubts have
been raised as to IL intention of res
pecting the convention of Geneva. To
remove any misunderstanding in this
respect, the Imperial Government de-
clares that, in conformity with said
convention-to which it adheres in
principle, the Red Cross will continue
to be religiously respected by the Otto
man armies under all circumstances:
that formal instructions have been
given to this effect, and that the Society
of Aid for the Wounded, represented
by the Red Crescent, is in reality but
an eastern branch of the Society of the
Red Cross.

His Friends Could Not Save Him.
Atlanta, June 15.-Stephen Brink
ley was hung at Newman to-day, for
the murder of his wife, nearly four
years ago. His case has excited wide
spread interest. He has a brother in
Memphis, u very wealthy broker, who
has spent over thirty thousand dollars
in attempting to save him from the gal
lows. During the past week the most
extraordinary efforts have been made
to secure executive clemency. Three
Governors-Gov. Stone, of Mississippi,
and Governors Parton and Brown, of
Tennessee-have each sent papers to
Gov. Colquitt, asking for clemency.
Gen. n. b. Forrest and Gen. w. II.
jackson, with whom Brinkley served
during the war, wrote to the Governor,
saying they believed the condemned
man was of unsound mind, and that he
bore the reputation of being crazy dur
ing the war, being discharged from the
army on that account. The Governor
refused to commute the sentence.
