ACCOUNT OF THE RAID.
A Correspondent Who Accompanied
the Raiders Tells the story.


the Raiders Tells the story.
London, April PA correspondent of
the Daily News, who accompanied the
raiders, will say tomorrow:
On Saturday, April 4, hearing that the
Turks were very strong Mt the point
where we intended to cross the frontier,
MylOnas ordered the camp to break up
and return to Kalabaka. The next day
we marched northwest to Meritsa. On
Wednesday the main body marched to
the Gorge of KakOplevr, where it re-
NAMED in camp until Thursday. Before
nightfall we assembled higher in the noun
tains and encamped about one hours dis.
lance from the frontier. At Mylonas'
camp fire all was hustle and activity
throughout the night. After council OF
war, lasting two hours, Davelast and
Bumen, with 600 men as an escort. took
an excurt across the frontier. Meeting
no resistance, they went several miles,
and occupied strong position near Spllio
and Phimas.
The main body followed at O'Clock on
Friday morning, dividing into two col
umns, the second passing the frontier
about an hour after the first.
The column of Mylonas soon engaged
the Turkish station at Ply nikia, which
replied with a sharp discharge of mus
kerry. Mylonas decided to storm the po-
sition. which was done CALAMITY. The
two columns now cOnvcrged slowly on
Baltino, small village, three miles down
the billy slope. During the movement we
were constantly faced by fusilade from
the Turkish posts along the line, to which
the Greek outposts replied vigorously.
About 1900 yards from the village the
enemy opened Il heavy fire. the bullets
whistling about our ears. line turks
made desperate resistance.
Meanwhile Davelis was storming sew
eral Turkish stations, the garris1hs Oh
which were compelled to fly to Baltino,
with heavy losses. The Turkish force
at Baltino occupied Il large two-story
house in the center of the village, and
their firing continued for some time.
Finally Mylonas sent Turkish prisoner
to urge the Turks to surrender. The
Turkish captain replied that he would
fight to the last. Then Mylonas ordered
his men to cease firing, intending to blow
up the garrison with dynamite. During
the night heavy rainstorm set in, and
the Greeks were drenched to the skin,
but they held their ground and repulsed
three sorties of the Turkish garrison. Inc
movement was. however, a failure. My
lonas refused to order bayOnet charge,
fearing heavy loss. He determined to
starvp out the garrison. Accordingly he
decided to return to Kalakaba with con
voy, accompanied by eight prisoners. We
were overtallen at noon by runner an
nouncing that whole Turkish battalion,
with one mountain gun, had attempted to
relieve Baltino, but had been defeated
and nearly annihilated by the Greeks,
who surrounded them. The entire loss
of the insurgents at the hour when | left
was nine killed. but there was large
number of wounded.
Cipriani and the Italians arrived in
time to participate in the battle, but
half of his men decamped later when The
rain and snow fell. l left the troops in
the best of spirits and eager to advance
to fight, despite all the hardships of the
march.

Decisive Battle Expected soon.

London, April 1.-THE Chronicles
Athens correspondent says:
The main body of irregulars are ex-
pectcd to fight decisive battle. The
following is the text of their proclama-
ton:
Soldiers of Christ and Liberty-We
hoist flag of liberty for the Greek
country. Under its shadow let us unite,
having as watchwOrd Liberty or
Death The justice of our cause is rec
ognized by all free people. Blest by God.
let us push forward. God is with us"
The Chronicles correspondent at Kali
ambaka says that at 2 p. m. today fight
ing was still going a few miles west
of Baltino.
Many of the irregulars are returning
to the frontier for food.
This afternoon Turkish captain and
his men, after heroic resistance, escaped
from Baltino. Last evening there wds a
heavy fall of snow, and the irregulars
were much exhausted with cold, which
was intense.

WHAT HAPPENED AT A BIRTH
DAY PARTY.

1t was Belle Bowen's eighth birthday.
She was to have eight little girls and
eight little boys spend the afternoon
with her. All the morning she was
very busy playing with her new doll, and
looking at her new picture book, but
when four o'clock came she ran up
stairs to put on the new dress grandma
had sent her. She had just come down
when the bell began to ring, and in came
all the little boys and girls in the neigh
borhood, all full of birthday wishes for
little Belle.
At first they danced for awhile; then
they played Ring around the Rosy"
"Hot butter bean" CLAP in and clap
OUT" but these did not last long. Harry
got mad because Katie did not choose
him. so mamma decided to have supper
to put all in good humor. And we'll it
might put them 10 good humor.
They saw at one end of the table an
old hen and eight little chickens; and
at the other little bush with eight
roses on it all made of ice-cream. Belle
looked very little beside her big cake
with eight candl all burning brightly.
Mamma went out of the room for a
moment, and while she was out, Belle
reached a snapper across the table, say
ing:
Pull with me, jack"
She did not notice that the thin mus
lin sleeve of her dress extended just over
the lighted candles. In a moment there
was a blaze, and as mamma entered the
room she found a scene of confusion.
But even before she had time to reach
her little daughter, Charlie Albert had
jerked off his white flannel jacket and
wrapped it tight around the pretty arm.
Belle was too frightened to resist. but
even if she had resisted. Charlie was
two years older than she was. and strong
enough to hold her very tightly.
la few moments all danger was over.
and little Belle was lying on the lounge
with her arm nicely bandaged in cotton
and vaseline.
Every one made great deal of fuss

THE LITTLE GIRL WHO GREW UP.

She was sitting up straight in a straight

There wasn't snarl in her shining hair.
There wasn'ta speck on her dainty dress.

She suddenly rumpled her shining hair,
And dropping down Sin heap on the

Sab, that's the strange part of the
story" said Mr.. MacAlpine. jamie is
the one who can tell that. jamie, tell
Aunt Katharine the rest"
JAMES rosy Scotch face dimpled,
and smiling up at her father, she
went on:
well, you know that was always
our favorite story, about when papa
was little boy in the Hebrides, and
about the little dog he lost, but we al
ways wanted to hear the end OF it.
We wanted to know what became of
Lassie after Lady Jane took her, and
if the Queen liked her, and if she did
her tricks; but Lady Jane died soon
after she ent back to Balmoral, and
papa's father went to Canada and
took papa with him, and so we could
only guess about Lassie, and make
papa make up what happened to her.
"And then one time mamma and
lisa and Fedie and 1 were going home
from England, and mamma and the
maid were so seasick they had to stay
down in the cabin, but we children
sat in steamer chairs on the deck, so
miserable and with nothing to do to
amuse ourselves. And then little
bit Of dog that belonged to the lady
sitting in a chair next ours jumped
down from her lap and came over
and stood in front of us, and stood up
on her hind legs and began to sneeze.
We all began to laugh, and then we
said how exactly she was like papa's
little dog that he used to tell us
about, and she used to sneeze too,
and they were the only dogs we had
ever heard of that did. And then we
said we wished we knew what the
dogs name was, and the lady it be-
longed to said it was Lassie, and then
we couldn't help but cry out, oh,
how strange!'
Then the lady asked US what was
strange, and we told her about our
Lassie, and she told us about her
Lassie, and we found out that hers
was the granddaughter of ours. And
this lady, who had been one of the
Queens ladies in waiting herself,
could remember when Lady Jane
brought Lassie there.
THE Queen had liked papa's little
dog, and had always kept her, and
when her maid of honor left England
for Canada her Majesty had given
her one of Lass;e's puppies to take
with her.
Before the ship reached Quebec
we all got to be great friends, and
just the last day out the lady called
me to her, and said, My dear, I'm
going to make you a present of this
little dog if you'll take her. My maid
doesn't like dogs, and Pm not strong
enough myself to take care of her.
And is was Lady Jane that carried
your fathers Lassie away, and it
shall be jamie that brings her back. ;"
"Yes, because the oldest girl in the
MacAlpine family is always named
Jane" put in Tom.
"And then when papa came down
to the wharf to meet them" said Alec,
there was jamie standing on the
ship and waving to him, and under
her arm was a bundle and pair of
bright eyes, and there was Lassie
