tepigadia. On entering Pentepigadia
some irregulars by mistake fired upon
the Greeks. During the confusion which
followed 5000 Turkish infantry arrived
from Janina and instantly attacked the
| Greeks.
A desperate and bloody hand-to-hand
encounter ensued. The Turks uttered
demoniacal yells and showed the great
est ferocity, while the Greeks, who had
been without food all night long and
were hopelessly outnumbered, were TAX
en- at considerable disadvantage.
An hour after the fight began the COM
panies of the Turks occupied hill on
the Greek flank and opened deadly fire.
The Greeks broke in confusion and flea
in panic. With the greatest difficulty
their officers rallied them and led them
back to the front, where they renewed
the battle against overpowering odds.
Major Commundaro commanded them.
All day he fought in the front line. Two
horses We're shot under him and he was
twice wounded, but he seemed to bear
charmed life. A Greek lieutenant, an
Italian volunteer and five privates rush
ed upon the Turks. Five of the seven
dropped dead before they got anywhere
near the enemy and the sixth was
wounded. Another Greek private, when
the Greeks fled, fought the Turks from
behind a rock for five hours until he was
killed.
At o'clock in the evening the Greek
ammunition failed. The men were faint
for want of food and the retreat call
was sounded
A second Greek force of infantry, cav
airy and field artillery advanced by an
other road arrived an hour too late.
They also retreated in great disorder.
The Turks now hold Pentepigadia,
which might, however, be attacked by
artillery.
The Greeks are apparently depressed
and discouraged.
The retreat is much discussed here,
and no one can explain it except upon
the hypothesis that there was a risk
of the Turks disembarking a force at
Prevesa, and so cutting off our escape.
The Greeks have suffered reverse, but
Greek honor is not lost.
NO ACTION TAKEN
ATHENS, April (Midnight) The
legislative assembly met again this
evening. Ninety-five delegates We're
present AS a senate quorum is 104, an
other adjournment was necessary. The
adjournment was followed by consid-
cradle excitement and cries Of disap-
proval from the gallery.
THE CABINET CRISIS
LONDON, April 2S.-Matters at Ath-
ems are likely to remain unchanged un-
til the ministerial crisis is settled, when
overtures from the powers to intervene
are expected. The sultan is said to be
willing to listen to terms.
The downfall of the Delyannis cab
met is taken for granted tSough it has
not actually occurred. NJ. Ralli, who
is likely to succeed Delyannis, was
equally keen for war.
Little or nothing seems to be known
at Athens or is reported here as to the
movements of the Greek fleet. The only
news of actual fighting in progress this
: afternoon comes from Velestino, which
J commands the road to Volo. Possibly
The herald., 1897-04-29

this indicates an intention of the Turks
to march southwark.
1t is said that Edhem Pasha mas sent
n white flag to Volo, with the assur-
ance that the Turkish troops VIII in
dict no damage upon the city or citizens.
There seems little doubt, therefore, that
he intends to occupy Volo.
The Greek forces now extend in a
fourteen-mile line from Pharsalos to
yelistinos. Pharsalos commands the
Turkish pass and the road leading to
Athens by way Of Larissa.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Paris says that NJ. Hanotaux. the
French foreign minister, had a five
hours interview today with the Turkish
ambassador. 1t is understood that the
subject under discussion was the terms
upon which the powers are to base
their intervention between Greece and
Turkey.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
says there is no official
confirmation of the reports that the
Turkish cavalry have occupied XQlo and
Trikkala, but the main body OF the
Greek army has fallen behind the old
frontier line of mountains, and the
Greek squadron is confined in the Gulf
OF Arta by the Turkish forts.

A MISSING MINER
No Doubt Entertained of His Violent
Death


SAN FRANCISCO. April 2S.-Acting
on the theory that Windsor Keefer, the
missing mining man, has been murdered.
his relatives will soon instigate vigor-
Gus investigation into the manner of his
death and of the whereabouts of his
body.
The belief appears to be general among
Keefer's friends that he met his death
somewhere in Colusa county in the
vicinity of the Jupiter mine, Of which
he was secretary. Mrs. c. H. Davids,
sister of the missing man, has long ac-
cepted this theory and proposes to insti-
tute a careful search for the remains.
The lady has received letter from
prominent mining man of Calaveras
county, in which the writer says that he
voices the sentiment of the entire COM
munity of that SECTION that her brother
was murdered He expresses confidence
that IL the old shafts in the neighbor-
hood of the mine were carefully searched
one of them would reveal Keefer's body.
The shafts average about $50 feet in
depth and contain water at their bot
toms, fact which will necessitate the
use of graphing hooks and much difficult
work in recovering the remains.
Mrs. Davids. however, is determined
to find the body at any coet.

THE POWERS WILL ACT.
VIENNA, April '2S.-The papers of
this city, st. Petersburg and Buda Pesth
comment on the conference of the en-
perors of Austria and Russia as being
evidence of an agreement of the powers
to speedily bring to an end the war be-
tween Turkey and Greece.
A PANIC AT VOLO
ATHENS, April 2S-The panic at Volo
prevents revictualing the army. All the
supplies at the Piraeus are exhausted.
Provisions are also scarce at Athens,
and there IS great suffering at Petopons.
CHICAGO, April 2S-Western pas
senger officials are rejoicing over the
settlement of the troubles regarding
rates for the convention of the Christian
Endeavor Society at San Francisco in
July. The Southern Pacific had held
out for a round trip rate of $50, while
the other Western roads would not con-
sent to round trip rates because they
feared manipulation by the scalpers.
Laet Saturday a proposition was tee-
graphed the Southern Pacific that
one-way rate of $25 from Chicago to San
Francisco be adopted. To this PROPOSE
tion a reply has been received from
General Passenger Agent Goodman of
the Southern Pacific, accepting the 20
rate of the Western roads. This gives
the Endeavor people lower rates than
they would have had otherwise.

RUDOLPH'S CASE
A Very Bad Record to Put Before
Jury

Jury
SAN FRANCISCO. April 2S.-The trial
of Jake Rudolph on a charge of assault
to murder, was started in Judge Wal
lace's court today. Rudolph has been ar
reeted many times for fiourishing his
revolver in a threatening manner and
also for shooting at people. A few years
ago he attempted to kill Business Man
ager Elliott of the Chronicle by shooting
him. The bullet was DETECTED by coin
in Elliott's pocket. Rudolph was shortly
afterward adjudged insane and sent to
an asylum from which he was released
over a year ago. The crime for which
he is now being tried was the shooting
of Harry Leslie, a young man whom he
had met in a casual way. When the case
was called today the attorney for the de-
fense moved that the trial on the felony
charge be postponed until the court first
determined whether Rudolph was sane
Judge Wallace ruled that 1t was not
necessary to inquire into the defendants
mental condition. He believed him cane
and that was enough. The work OF i'm
paneling the jury was then begun.
