Many Buildings Destroyed and
More Badly Damaged

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Journal to-
morrow will say: Earthquakes are shak-
ing the islands of Guadalupe and Mont
serrat off the Leeward group in the
West Indies. The cable a few days ago
reported that number of persons had
been killed at Guadalupe. Details were
supplied by the Quebec liner Mariana,
which arrived here yesterday from Lee
ward island ports. When the steamer
reached Antigua. forty miles from Quad
alupe, on May 1st, every one in port was
discussing the shocks. The heaviest had
occurred two days before when fifty col
ored people had been killed by being
buried in the ruins of their houses. In
a brick church congregation of 200
people were caught by the collapse OF the
walls and fifty crushed to death. Those
in the streets saw the houses sway back
and forth and the walls of brick struc-
lures crack. The report also said that
twenty-five or thirty people had lost
their lives at Point "a Pietrie.
Twelve brick houses in Guadalupe had
been demolished and scores of others
cracked and scanned by the shocks
From Antigua the Mariana steamed

ODD FELLOWS
Forty-ffth Annual Session Begun at
San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO May 1.-THE
Grand lodge of the Independent Order
Of Odd Fellows began its 45th annual
session today Delegates from 800 lodg-
es were present. The greater part of
the opening session was devoted to the
consideration of the reports from the
grand officers. Grand Master Warboys
reported that during the year one sub
ordinate lodge had been instituted, three
lodges had consolidated with other
branches of the order. two had surrend-
cred their charters and had been dis
solved. The present membership is 22 100.
The loss of membership of 1864 during
the year is attributed to the business
depression. Warboys recommended a
reduction of the per capita tax, and also
that the minimum benefit be fixed at 81
per week. But if the order has had
numerical loss it's finances are in good
condition, Grand Secretary Shaw re-
porting that the receipts for the year ex-
ceeded the disbursements by $4,000.
The assets of the order have increased
$37 600 A simultaneous session of the
Rebekah Assembly was also held, Ma
rian Greenwood, Grand President, CIV
ing a report of the progress, and Mary
e. Donohue, Grand Secretary, announc-
ing 215 lodges with 10000 members, a
gain Of six lodges and 900 members.

TURKISH PLANS
LONDON, May ia dispatch to the
Standard from Constantinople says: 1t
is reported that orders have been sent
out for the mobilization of the Fifth and
Sixth army corps reserves, stationsed at
Bagdad and in Syria, and for the irlmc-
diate dispatch of fifty battalions to Ko-
nieh, from which point they will be TAX
en- to Ismeed. In Asia Minor.
These preparations, which involve an
expense that Turkey is quite unable to
bear, cannot be required against Greece.
and they excite anxiety as indicating
that Turkey Is preparing either to con-
front a more formidable foe or to place
herself in such a strong position that she
will be able to ignore the powers and
their plan Of mediation.
Three staff officers have been sent to
the depots of the Fourth army corps at
Ezeroum and Erzing to report whether
there is a sufficient supply of arms and
equipment to mobilize the reserves OF
that corps.
Six officers of the Turkish troops sta
toned at tJanina, together with the COM
fnandants at Louros, Phillipidia and
other stations, have arrived here in
chains They will be tried for neglect of
duty in the face of the enemy.

stating that fourteen villages between
Tolour and Kastrosykia have been burn
ed up by the Turks, after all the women
and children had been massacred except
q few who hid in the Businesses OF
Mount Zalongos, famous during the war
of independence, and few more who
concealed themselves in the marshes
along the shore and managed finally to
get aboard Greek ships, half dead with
hunger and fear.
The men fought like lions in defense
of the women, who sought refuge in the
woods and caves of Mount Zalongos, and
when chased by the Turks jumped over
precipices to avoid capture and dishonor.

Then, mind you. just at this time, late in

Smolenski had apparently received the
brunt of the fighting. Yet the center and
left, near Karadjah. and at Pharsala. had
again retired. No one could explain It.
We were awfre OF the situation they faced.
but it seemed an extraordinary order.
They say Smolenski wept. I went down
to see the retreat. A curious thing was
that the Turks seemed to understand the
order as quickly as we did. They moved
UP batteries with startling rapidity for the
Turks. The retreat was not disorderly.
but wrathful and sullen. A regiment Of
ephzones the killed men. 1000 strong. came
down to cover the retreat, and In the
twilight, frightened by Turkish shells,
the Greeks slowly withdrew.

THE GRAIN CROP
Prophets Differ Very Greatly in Their
Forecasts

STOCKTON. May 1.-THE Mail this
evening publishes the following regard
ing the crop prospect:
The prevalent opinion is that the grain
crop this year will be poor and some
think that it will not amount to 20 per
cent above an average yield. The sea-
son has advanced so far that rains do
only a limited amount of good now.
They would benefit late sown grain, but
injure the early sown crops by causing
them to lodge. Some dealers, however,
think that there would be very good
crop Notwithstanding the drouth and
that there will be heavy output from
this State during the coming season.
