ElassOna, Headquarters OF the Turk
ish Army in Macedonia, Thursday even
ing, April 15.-(Delayed in transmits
sion). The representative of The AS
sociated Press at the Turkish head
quarters has just seen a prisoner who
was captured by the Turks during the
fighting which has taken place at
Krania with the Greek irregulars. The
man was dirty, wore tattered clothes
and had on his head a helmet upon
which was the badges of the Ethnike
Hetairaria, the National League OF
Greece. He declared that he belonged to
a band of irregulars which left Trik-
hala. after receiving an ovation from
the inhabitants of that place under the
command of a captain and two lieuten-
ants Of the Greek regular army, and
accompanied by medical officer, who
was wounded. This expedition, the
prisoner added, was organized by Off
GERS Of the Greek regular army and was
openly ordered to invade Turkey, not
to harm the villagers and to fight the
Turkish troops only.
After these statements, it is difficult
to deny that the Greek irregulars were
organized without the knowledge of the
Greek authorities. This confirms the
inquiries made on this subject by Sey-
foulah Bey, an officer on the staff OF
Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commando
in chief. formerly an attache Of the
Turkish legation at Athens, and, con-
sequently familiar with the personal
appearance Of many Greek officers,
some of whom he recognized among the
insurgents.
The whole matter appears to form
the basis for a grave accusation against
Greeces good faith.
The representative Of the Associated
Press has visited the greater part Of the
frontier line in this district and, after
inspecting all the passes. is convinced
that the Turks hold such strong posi-
tions that the Greeks will never be able
TO enter Turkish territory in force. In
fact the correspondent cannot even i'm
agine the Greeks will make any at
tempt to do so. while on the other hand,
the Turkish commander in chief could
send a mass of troops into Greece by
several routes and easily capture Lar
issa.

Somersworth, n. H, April 16.-While
resisting the entry of two desperate and
determined robbers, and during heroic
but futile struggle to protect S150,000
or more in money and securities in the
compartments of the open vault of the
Great Falls National Bank, at SOmers-
worth. this afternoon, Cashier Joseph
A. Stickney was struck down and bru-
tally murdered near the desk which he
had occupied for years. After killing
Stickney, the murdererS ransacked the
vault and fed with ali the cash it can
tanned with the exception of q five dol
lar gold piece. As near as can be esti-
mated. about $4,000 was taken, but it is
possible that the loss will considerably
exceed this sum- as no one but the dead
cashier knew the ez.Ct amount that was
i'm the institution at the time. The rob-
bers after knocking Stickney down with
a blackjack. cut his throat. The most
remarkable feature Of the robbery is the
fact that 100000 in bonds of the United
States. which were kept in one of the
drawers Of the big vault and which the
robbers evidently examined. hastily,
were not taken. Neither was any Of the
negotiable paper and securities of the
bGn6-in fact nothing is missing except
the cash.
No one was aware that there was any
thing wrong at the bank until nearly :
o'clock. or an hour after the murderous
work was done. The perpetrators had
ample time to escape and this evening
scores Of deputy sheriffs. marshals, po-
lice and citizens are securing this sec
ti0n Of the State and the adjoining
State Of Maine. which from this city is
Just across the Salmon Fsss river. The
men made their visit to the bank at the
busiest time Of the day in the locality
where the bank is situated. and so COM
pletelv and thoroughly did they accom-
Dlish the robbery that only an uucer-
tain clue and q very meagre description
of them was obtainable.
tt has always been customary for
Cashier Stickney and the bank clerk to
close the bank at u o'clock and not re-
open it until one. To-day the bank
clerk Mrs. Swezey. lef, her desk at
noon. The cashier. however, remained
looking over the banks accounts, and 1t
is thought he was preparing to go out
when the robbers entered.
The first suspicion that the bank had
been robbed was at . o'clock, when Mr..
e. p. Reed went mp the staircase Of the
bank building and found that the thick
plate glass in the front outside or hall
door of the bank completely shattered,
notified City Marshal Eaton, and they
broke in the door and found evidences
Of a desperate struggle. On the floor in
a great pool Of blood was the lifeless
body Of Stickney. His head had been
nearly severed from the body, and the
robbers having cut his throat.
The head was marked with several
deep gashes made by a heavy black
lack and the skull was fractured. The
body was covered with blood and the
walls and furniture bore additional evil
dence Of the terrible deed. Stickney had
died fighting desperately.

Suggestions to the secretary of War ke'

rarding Distribution of Provisions.
WASHINGTON. April 1G.-Secretary
Alger has received the following telegram
from one Of the inspecting officers at
Cairo. H.:
Have completed inspection upper por-
ton of my district from Ashport 10 caro-
and find the conditions slightly improved.
II Is IS suggested that a ten days supply
of rations be sent at the earliest practical
BILE moment to supply 1000 destitute per-
sons and 100 head of stocn Of Quitman
countv in which thirteen townships are
inundated. also for 5000 destitute and 500
head Of stock in Cohoma county. where
twelve townships are flooded; for 5000 des-
,it,te and 500 live stock in Bolivar county
where twenty-nine townships are inunda-
ted In the Arkansas side il IS reported
-bot there are 500 destitute and 400 live
stock in Phillips and Monroe counties re-
opirinr assistance. Thirty to forty days IS
the estimated period Of time before labor
ers can 20 TO work in the inundated area
but as this period will vary wiki the local
itv. the inspector recommends that no sup
plies be sent for a longer period than ten
days.
after ten days" he says, III the food
does not to some extent subside, the desti-
tu+fon will reach It's maximum and be
maintained az that until it becomes evil
dent that a crop this year IS possible, in
which event the number Of destitute Will
RAPIDLY diminish and then the presence Of
relief supplies in the district will be
positive drawback to the prosperity OF the
district. II. however t. becomes evident
that a crop this year cannot be made the
destitution and suffering will increase and
eventually extend 20 perhaps one-hah OF
the entire population Of the inundated
country.
IF the food subsidies by the middle Of
Nav. as now seems likely. the desutution
will be by that time relieved"

lC0nNrlEnf. fl,
Iarissa. Headquarters of the Greek
Army in Thessaly, April 16.-Seyere
6obting has occurred in Macedonia be-
tween the Greek irregulars and Turkish
forces. The column Of irregulars sent
to the right from Pigayitza, after having
invested and captured SitOvOn, contln-
ned its advance towards Kritudes, Plisla
and Kourduzi with orders TO hold Kour-
duzi AZ all costs. as it commands the
RIGHT approach to Grevena, the objective
noint. This column, commanded by
Chiefs. Zermos and LuZZO, attacked hrl-
tudes on Tuesday. The place was ue-
Tended by two companies Of Turks. Al
ter p severe fight. during which eighty
Turks we're killed and twenty-five were
taken prisoners, the position was cap
tured bv the Greeks, who also obtained
possession of $50 rifles and quantity
Of cartridges.
The Insurgents. however, suffered a
severe check in another direction. A
strong force of Turkish troops, from
Necoyon. with a number Of mountain
guns advanced en- Krania, which had
previously been captured by the Greeks
and attacked the four hundred lrregu-
lars of Greece who occupied an en-
trenched position. 1t is reported thaC
the fighting was ferOcious on both slues.
Tho insurgents eventually were COM
nalled TO retreat north TO the mountains.
Some of them. however, succeeded IN
braal,inp through the Turkish lines and
escansd 70 Ral.ino. the town just across
the frontier i'm Macedonia first captured
nv, the Greek irregulars and used by them
as a depot for provisions and ammunition.
The accounts given by the refugees Of the
Turkish losses are believed 10 be eXaSger-
a.a5 They saw that 265 Turks were killed.
while the irregulars only had eight men
l-ilrad and seventeen wounded. The lead
~ of the Greeks operating in that direc-
lion Chief Milonas. was among the wound

insurgents. This. it appears enabled the

regulars to retreat into Greek territory.

unless the regular army Of Greece sup
