WITH FURY UNABATED
Fighting Along the Frontier
Continues at Many Points.
THE POWERS AT FAULT
King George Thins Turkey a Tool
And That War Could
Have Been Settled.
The Senate Fooled With Petitions for
Changes in tho Tarrin Bill -

Must Die.

NEW YORK, April 2l.-A Journ al
dispatch from Athens Gays:
The war on the frontier continues
with unabated fury. and all along the
line from the Gulf of Salonica on the
east to the Gulf of Arta on the west, a
desperate struggle is going on for the
mastery. The advance of the Turkish
forces on Tyrnavos has not been seri-
ously checked, though from Greek
sources como many claims of victories.
These, however, are of small impor-
tance, compared to the information
that the Turks are investing Tyrnavos.
Tyrnavos is about three leagues
northwest of Larissa and was depended
upon by the Greeks to seriously ham
per any attempt that would be made by
the Turks to approach Larissa
Immediately after their disastrous
defeat at Milouna pass the Greeks fell
back to Tyrnavos, but the Turks close
ly followed and began vigorous can
nonadiDg OF the position. Tyrnavos'
fall will make 1t next to impossible for
the Moslen advance on the Greek mill
tary base at Larissa to be stopped.
Larissa is poorly fortified, and it may
become necessary for the Greeks to
precipitate pitched battle with the
Turks on the plains that lie between
Larissa and the Macedonian frontier.
If such an event occurs it will be the
greatest military struggle in the his
tory of the world.
A Greek force after terrific battle,
has managed to get through to the
plains of Damasi, in Macedonia, mean
time bombarding and destroying the
small village of Vigila, half dozen
Turkish batteries, and killing over 200
Turks. The Greek loss was light.
About 300 Turks were taken prisoner
at Viglia.
The pass at Reveni, few miles
northwest of Tyrnavos, where there
are as many as 10000 Turks under the
personal direction of Edhem Pasha,
has been the scene of the fiercest fight
ing of the war. This horde Of Mos
lens, singing and chanting war songs
reaches from Reveni to Boughese and
for the past three days has unremit-
tingly endeavored to obtain free road
TO the Thessalian plains. Twenty |
thousand Greeks under direction of
Prince Constantine have steadily |
fought and struggled to keep hack the
stream and have thus
'ar succeeded.
On the Gulf of Arta the Greeks are
having things pretty much their own
way. The Turks at Arta attempted to
ross the river, despite the Ere of the
iresk artillery. This was magnifi-
.eutly handled, however, and the Mos
ems were moved down by the score,
he river being literally filed with the
ultan's soldiers. Staggering under
heir awful defeat, the Turks retreated.

King George Says the Powers Caused the
PARIS, April 21.-The correspondent
of La Journal at Athens had an inter-
view with King George, of Greece, at
the palace yesterday. His majesty is
quoted as saying he believed to the last
moment peace would be maintained,
and did his utmost to bring about q
pacific settlement of the matters in
dispute. The king denied that Greece
commenced hostilities against Turkey,
and argued that Turkey was not COM
PEELED to go to war because. of the in
crusion of a few insurgents whom no.
body could have restrained. Contin-
uing, King George said:
"The truth is we were attacked be-
cause Turkey was ordered to attack US.
There never would have been war but
for certain intrigues which will appear
later. All the powers are more or less
against US. If they wanted war they
have got it. Such is the result of the
European concert.
Europe must understand that after
forcing US to war there can be no ques-
tion of limiting it. Our feet is des-
tined to take an important part. as will
soon be learned. Greece understands
that she must either be victorious or
disappear.

NEW YORK, April 20.-The Journal
this morning says:
The Cuban dollar will be On the
street within few days. 1t will be
silver coin of the size of the Spanish
coin known as five pesetas. Five mill
lion dollars worth of bullion il to be
converted into the coin, which, even
if it is no more than q souvenir of the
Cuban struggle, will still be worth its
weight. The Cuban iunta indorses
the circulation of silver coin bearing
the stamp of the provisional govern
ment. The money to buy this bullion
and to defray the mechanical expense
of the issue is said to have been raised
through the exertion of A. J. Corbert,
a alocal broker. He processes ignorance
as to the identity OF his principals.
At the office of A. Krauss, further lie
formation was obtained.
"Men with money have been figur-
ing on this thing for long time," he
said. 'sThe junta is behind us. We
start in with million dollars worth
of five pesetas. The coin is about the
size of the American dollar and resem-
bles it much.
"The new Cuban coin. which must
not be.called medal or souvenir, will
be accepted for its weight in silver
anywhere. The design for the face of
the coin will consist of head or fig
ure indicating liberty. The seal of the
Cuban republic, already familiar on its
bond and postage stamps, will be on
the reverse.
"The friends of Cuba who will have
made this issue of coin are men of
wealth. They will back the Cuban en-
terprise to the extent of ten millions
if necessary. An agreement has been
made with the junta here in New York
as to the recognizing Of these coins
when the Cuban republic comes into
its full rights and possessions"
