Turks Will Fight The
Next Time The Greeks
Attack Them.

New York, April IA dispatch to
the Herald from Constantinople says:
Prince Mavrocordato, the Greek min
lister to Turkey, went yesterday to the
Sublime Porte to take leave of the
foreign minister. He awaits orders
from his government to start for Ath-
ems.
The Sublime Porte has demanded
the return of its representatives in
Greece.
The Porte has addressed a note to
the great Powers, drawing attention
to the unreasonable action of Greece
and declaring that Turkey will main
tain a defensive attitude, but in case
of another invasion, such as that of
last Friday and which was evidently
prepared with the consent of the Hell
lenic authorities, the Porte will feel
obliged to command it's generals to act
in the same manner. The Porte al
luded to the enormous expenses in

Greece, and asserted it's intention of

proper quarters.
The Turkish official papers announce
that an imperial order has just been
given authorizing the Albanian volun-
teers who presented themselves for en-
listment at COssovo to receive arms.
The Vail has been commanded imme-
diately to expedite the passage Of
these subsidiary troops to the frontier.
Lieut.. Col. Baron De Vialiar, who
has been in command If the French
forces in Crete, returned here yester-
day an increase of the French contin-
gent necessitaing the appointment of
an officer of higher rank. Baron De
Vialiara asked to be relieved of duties
in Crete.
His opinion is that it is absolutely
necessary that the islanders should be
fully persuaded of the advantages of
the projects of the great powers re-
garding Crete and the urgency of ac-
cepting them. Also that unless a
striking proof of the seriousness of the
intentions and propositions of the great
powers be given to the Cretans no
lasting result can be obtained.

New York, April IA special to the
World from Madrid says:
Political and diplomatic circles in
Madrid are animated discussing the
improvement Of the propsects of Span
ish rule in Cuba. In consequence, it
is said by a native exchange that con-
fidential, but unofficial communica-
tions have been progressing between
the United States and the Spanish
governments ever since Mckinley and
Sherman took Office. 1t seems that
Spanish diplomacy has intimated at
Washington that Spain cannot enter
tain any suggestions of American med
iation to obtain the submission of the
Cuban insurgents and that Spain only
asks that the American executives.
continue to check and punish filibust-
ering expeditions and Separatist juntas
and propaganda whenever the Spanish
legations and consuls produce suffice
lent evidence of their existence, as was
done recently in the case of the New
York separatist junta's correspondence
with instructions to Cuban insurgents.
The Spanish diplomat was authoriz-
ed to give unofficial, but confidential
verbal assurances that If the American
government did that much, Spain con-
sidered herself equal quite to the task
of shortly reducing the rebellion to
such a pass that the Madrid govern
ment will be justified enough in the
opinion of the public in Spain and the
colonies to. carry out the home rule in
a very liberal spirit, and in its wake
would follow extensive tariff reforms
that would make a treaty of commerce
between the United States and Cuba.
In the same way the American State
department was given to understand
that Spain will deal more leniently
with the Separatists and that when
home rule is put in force a general
amnesty will be granted, to include
all rebels submitting within a certain
period and all political convicts, pris-
oners and suspects exiled or transport
ed to Spanish fortresses and penal set

Pascoaga, r. l., April 1.-THE house
of Edward Reynolds, at Oakland, a
farming village, a few miles, from here,
burned this morning, together with all
the outbuildings. 1t is thought to be

Reynolds body, INITIATED and blood
stained, was taken from her bed by
those who discovered the IRE. They
found blood stains and what is belieV-
ed to be traces of kerosene about the
room. They were prevented from ma

She Wants Large Sums for Goods
Ruined at the Worlds Fair.
Chicago, April 4.-Judge Grosscup
of the United States District court is
engaged in the final hearing of the
suits of the French government and
of the French exhibit at the Worlds
fair brought for damages to goods of
the exhibitors by reason of the ire
of January s, 1894, which destroyed the
Casino, Peristyle and Music hall,and
burned the roof of the Manufacturers
building. Juries had been waived and
counsel for both sides were willing to
let Judge Grosscup be both judge and
Jury. The suits ask for damages in
the amount of $S7,S5O.
The exposition based its refusal to
pay damages on its rules,a the slow
ness of the. French exhibitors in
packing their goods. Further claim
is made that the value attached to
the damaged goods is far in excess or
that given to the custom house when
the goods were entered for exhibit.
George r. Davis, director general or
the fair; Edmond BruwaeTt, consul gen.
eraI of France to the United States
and who was in direct supervision over
the French exhibit; Fire Marshal j.

sition department at the time OF the

In Colorado to Be opened This Sum-
mer.
Washington, April 1.-THE allotted
lands of the eastern end of the South
ern Ute Indian reservation in South
western Colorado probably will be
opened to settlement this summer by
presidential proclamation. Though the
alottments have been completed, the
question of opening has been deferred
for a long time, owing to what seems
to be conceded to be grave error in
fixing the 10th meridian of longitude.
Secretary Bliss has now taken. ac-
ton and has directed the director Of
the geological survey to determine by
astronomical observation, as soon as
the season permits, the correct lOca-
ton of the meridian. This work will
not require much time and though the
date has not yet been considered it
is probable the opening will be fixed
upon Immediately after the submits
sion of the directors report. 1t is
claimed and believed by the authori-
ties that the meridian is about five
miles too far west and the variance of
lines involves about $4,000 acres, which
may inure to the benefit of Indians.
The meridian probably will be estab-
lished late in May.

captured Baltino in Macedonia. The
Turks lost forty men killed. The in
surgent chief Davilis has occupied
strong position in the mountains near
Krania. His force was alter attacked

central force at Fassona with Janina,
Turkish headquarters in Albania.
In all the skirmishes and fighting
since crossing the frontier the Greeks
lost only five men killed and had Is
|mer@ wounded. Fresh troops contin-
ue to arrive here from the south. The
third brigade was formed today to
assist in the defense of the frontier.
Dispatches received here today from
the Greek eNpeditonary force say the
irregulars hare passed Kipuri driving

People Injured.

People Injured.
Yuma, Arizona, April 14.-La Grande
Fiesta De Yuma wound up Sunday
night with wild west soprts and Span
ish bull fights, which constituted a
crowning feature of the five days rev.
elry. The feature of the show which
drew the crowds was the Spanish bull
fight, headed by the renowned bun
fighter, Capt. Carlos Garcia, from
Juarez, Mexico Captain Carlos Gar
cha and his troop of toreadors and plea
doris, including La Carlota, a female
bull fighter, displayed wonderful skill
in fighting fierce animals, but magni-
fcent black bull, Porfiro Diaz, proved
himself almost invincible and before he
was dispatched in the third fight, in
which he was used, he caught Captain
Garcia upon his long slender horns
and ripped open the mans jaw. Capt.
Garcias wound may prove fatal.
After goring and badly mutilating
Captain Garcia the bull, stung to fren-
zy by the torments of the toreadores
and picadors, charged full at the bull
pen and though it was strongly built,
after several desperate attempts he
smashed into kndling wood the panel
of the pen and charged into the ground
surrounding the amphitheatre, which
was filed with people. Many were in
jured. The roulette table, stacked
with gold and silver coin, was tossed
high in the air, and the money scat
tered in the dust. Straight through
the crowd the enraged animal sped,out
into the main street of Yuma, but for
tunately no more people were in the
way. After a long chase and hard
work the bull was returned.
