Greece VIII Have to Sne for Peace

London, May 6.-Evidently it was Edhem
Greek armies which led to the speedy re-
treats that are the beginning of the end.
The Greek accounts say that both retreats
wore orderly, but such news comes only
from official sources in Athens, which are
VIGOROUSLY unreliable. 1t is Just possible
that so far from being orderly they may
both have ended in a panic, as was the
case at Larissa. Edhem Pasha will almost
certainly follow to prevent General smolen-
ski from reioining the main army.
In any event, General Smolenski is now
cut OFF from all chance of embarking on
The Greek vessels at Vilo. He must sur
render to the Turks or endeayor to reach
Lamia by the difficult mountain paths.
so that everything now indicates that
Greece will be compelled to sue for peace
in order to save the remainder of her
army from destruction.
The absence of Greek cavalry at Phar-
sala left the Greeks in complete ignor-
apoo Of the movements of the Turks. and
it is another Illustration Of the general
incompetcncy of the Greek staff. General
c-ta..uj h3reatf Inns admitted that long
habits Of guerilla warfare have made the
Greek arm helpless against modern mill
tary strategy.
II is NV believed that the end would
come sooner but for the difficulty the
Turks have experienced in bringing ale
ouated supplies of ammunition for maya
zinc rifles and modern artillery over the
mountain passes.

JAPAN 5 PROTEST IS HERR
OPPOSES ANNEXATION UNTIL
TROUBLE is SETTLED.
Minister Shimamura Will Visit For
eign Office This Week-Special Com
missioner Akiyama to Return HON =

The PeIing brought instructions to
japanese Minister Resident Shima-
mura from his country to make for
NAL protest to the Hawaiian Govern
ment against the annexation of these
islands to the United States until, the
complications at present existing be-
tween Hawaii and Japan have been
amicably settled.
a similar protest will be filed with
Secretary of State Sherman by the
Japanese Minister Resident at Wash
ington. The instructions were sent
from the japanese Foreign Office at
Toxic by Count Okuma.
The protest, together with another
letter from Minister Shimamura
touching on the immigration contro-
versy, will very likely be deposited
with Minister of Foreign Affairs
Cooper before the present week ex-
pires.
Minister Shimamura is extremely
reticent regarding his third commune
cation to the Foreign Office on the
present trouble and on which he is
at work now. 1t is quite safe that It
will be a sharp and vigorous appeal
for a settlement of the affair.
One thing Minister Shimamura made
public today. He has been command
ed by his Government to make salts.
factory settlement of the existing
trouble as quickly as possible.
It is known that Minister Shima.
mura has his final instructions, but
the sudden development of the an.
nexation boom has been a great sur.
prise to the japanese legation. While
it is believed that Minister Shimamura
is not required to communicate with
his country regarding any further di
plomatic procedure, still Counsellor
Akiyama of the Foreign Office ant
| Special Commissioner from his O.,
ernment, will return to Toxic by tn,
Rio de Janeiro, sailing from Honolu!,
next Saturday evening.
'It is extremely probable that will
be able to leave for Japan on the Ri'
Janiero," said Councillor Akiyama t.
a Star reporter at the Japanese lega
ton this morning, "My original plan
were to remain here some few month
but if ! can get up certain work il
time I will leave and convey to m
country complete report on the pres
ent status of the diplomatic relation
between Minister Cooper and Minis
ter Shimamura. 1t is quite likely tina
I will return to Honolulu very shortl
with further word from my Govern
ment to the legation here"

ANOTHER wARsHIp.

The Yorodzu says: Though out
wardly the trouble is between Japan
and Hawaii it may be said that in
reality we are dealing with America
first sprung up, the Government i'm
mediately despatched the Naniwa, and
now the Kiyei has been instructed TO
proceed to Honolulu. Now, on the re-
ceipt of report that Hawaii had re-
fused to accept Japan's claim, the
Mainichi, Government organ, ad-
vises the authorities to send more
warships to Hawaii, while communi-
cations between the Government and
the Minister at Washington have be-
come more frequent. We are greatly
surprised at the unskilful diplomatic
ability of Count Okuma. Should he
fail to take any decisive measures IN
account of the United States being at
the back of Hawaii, the people will
laugh at Japan being humiliated by a
small island such as Hawaii.

OPINIONS OF THE vERNACULAR.

OPINIONS OF THE VERNACULAR.
The Japanese Vernacular Press, and
especially the Nichi Nichi Shimbun,
the Hochi, and the Tokyo Shimbun,
all discuss the Hawaiian question. The
Nichi Nichi thinks coercion will simply
be playing the game of the anneXa-
tionists, who would find in it an eN-
cuse for throwing themselves into
Americas arms. The Hochi expresses
profound astonishment at the contu-
macious attitude of the little Republic,
and concludes that it must have some
backing not apparent to the public.
If America really does support Ha-
waii, Japan must act with boldness
and determination. The tone of the
article is high-almost defiant. The
Tokyo Shimbun traverses very strong
ly theory advanced recently by the
Yomiuri Shimbun, namely, that if Ha-
waii does not wish to have Japanese
immigrants, the best plan for the Jap
anese is to refrain from going thither,
since there are many other places
where they can find equally lucrative
employment. The Tokyo Shimbun
concludes that, in advancing such a
pusillanimous proposition, the Yo'
miru wrote to Count Okuma's dicta-
ton, and that the object of making
the statement was to prepare the pub
lie for a policy of ''scuttle" contem-
plated by the Count

LIGHT ON TUBERCULOSIS
SOME CAREFULLY CONDUCTED
INVESTIGATIONS.
Reports Made to the State Legislature
of Massachusetts Show That the
Danger is Not So Great as Supposed.

The subject of tuberculosis in cattle
is a very important one both to the
public and to the dairyman. At the
request of a prominent dairym1n Tie
Star publishes the following report
upon tuberculosis which appeared in
the Republican Standard of New Bed
ford. 1t is a very full and very able
exposition of the subject:
BOSTON, May 26.-The joint special
committee of the Legislature ap-
pointed to investigate and report upon
the post mortem examinations of GER
tain cows of Lowell and Dracut, con-
der of the Board of Cattle Commits
sioners, has made it's report, as fol-
lows:
Under authority of the order
adopted by the Legislature on April
9, the committee selected as experts
to assist in the examination of these
animals, DR.. H. G.. Ernst of Boston,
DR.. Theobald Smith of Boston, DR..
George H. Kinnell of Pittsfield, DR..
Charles r. Wood of Lowell, DIR. Frank
S. Billings of Grafton.
Your committee and these experts
were present at the slaughter of 130
of the animlas condemned as tubercu-
lous from the Lowell and Dracut
herds. All but one of these animals
had reacted to the tuberculin test.
Cow No. 10 was killed after condemna-
tion upon physical examination. OF
the 129 animals all but three were tu-
berculous, although large proper
tion of this number were so slightly
affected as to warrant the use of their
meat for food, if slaughtered and
dressed under proper supervision.
| After the examination of the con-
demned animals, the committee, act
ing under further authority of the
Legislature, in accordance with "a re-
solve passed in May, secured and
caused to be slaughtered all but three
of the animals from the four herds
from which the first lot of 90 con-
demned animals were taken, and
which had successfully passed the
tubercrli" test. AS will be seen by
the report of the experts, of these 20
cows. six were found tuberculous by
all of the experts, and seven by two
of the experts.
Your committee desires to call par
ticular attention to the fact that none
of the $50 animals examined had tu-
berculosis of the udder, although the
disease was found in two cases in the
lymphatic glands, closely connected
with the udder. If these cows are a
fair average of the milch cows OF
Massachusetts, tuberculosis of the I'D
der is not as prevalent as is sometimes
feared.
1t is apparent to your committee
from their observations at the investi-
CATION, that a reaction from the tuber-
| cullin test in no way indicates the ex-
tent to which the animals may be tu-
| berculous. This fact can only be de-
) termined upon post mortem examin-
, alton.
: 1t seems to us then that the testing
, of herds with tuberculin, as has been
t done in the past, and the slaughter oi
reacting animals, does not offer an alb
solute guarantee to the farmer OF
owner that the remainder of his cattle
are free from tuberculosis, or that
they might not be infected within a
comparatively short time, even though

JAPANESE ITEMS.
Clippings from the Press of Interest
to the General Reader.

The Japan Gazette believes that
Japan will break off diplomatic rela-
tions with Hawaii.
Most of the Japanese papers attrib-
ute the strong stand made by the IIa-
waiian Government in the emigrant
affair to its desire to refer the matte r
to the arbitration of third Power.
1t appears now that the laborers
who were returned from Hawaii and
who were to be sent to Brazil in the
Tosa Maru, refuse to go, and on
that account the agents of the Oriental
Emigration Company are recruiting
fresh hands in Hiroshima, Yamaguchi
and Kumamoto prefectures.
The news comes from Toxic that the
Hawaiian Government has demanded
of Japan the revision of the present
treaty.
The Mainichi states that Count
Okuma, Minister of Foreign Affairs
has sent further instructions
to Mr.. Shimamura, Japanese Minister
to Hawaii, by the Peking.
One japanese paper, in its eagerness
to supply all the news, printed on
July 12 that "the Hawaiian Govern
ment had agreed to pay the Japanese
$9s,000 in gold coin, with, however
some vexaxtious conditions" TIL,

The Mainichi understands that, ac-
cording to the nature of the future
development OF the Hawaiian compll-

be obliged to dispatch more war ships
to Hawaii. 1t may be thought some
what out of place to adopt such a
proceeding, especially when it is re-
