I.arissa, March 20. - Crown Prince
Constantin, commander in chief Of the
Greek army in Thessaly, his wife, the
Princess Sophia. Prince Nicholas of
Greece and the Princess Marie Of
Greece arrived here yesterday. The
whole garrison was under arms to re-
ceive the osown prince and his party,
the streets were thronged with people
and the houses gaily decoratt with
flags. Many ladies threw flowers in the
path of the princesses. The prince was
welcomed by the military and civil
authorities, and later Prince Constan-
tin, amid the enthusiastic acclamation
Of the crowds present reviewed the
troops.
The school boys here are being armed
with rifles. bayonets and ammunition.
1t is no uncommon sight to see lads Of
13 and II fully equipped.
Ten thousand Greeks have been sta
toned at the east end of the frontier,
with their base at Rapsani, on the hill
sides north of the Vale of Tempe.
From this point they are watching the
Turkish positions from Platamone to
Elassona. The Vale of Tempe itself is
not fortified. as the Greek line Is drawn
from 10 to 20 miles further north. The
Greeks seem to consider themselves
only in the light of an invading force,
and not as a force occupying terri
tory likely to be invaded.
The determination of the Greek peo-
pie to accept no solution of the Cretan
difficulty but the annexation Of Crete
is increasing steadily. The cry is for
no surrender. All feeling Of despond-
ency has vanished, and the multitude
is eager for hostilities to begin.

Brady realizes that Corbett money
making powers lie in his attractivenes to
the followers of pugilism, and has advis-
ed an Australian trip Of about three
months duration, followed by quiet
summer at Asbury Park, to regain lost
vitality. Such course of treatment, he
thinks, would put Corbett in condition to
whip tho winner of the Maher- Sharkoy
fight. In pursuance OF this policy, Brady
has announced that CorbetI has already
gone into training in preparation to camp

This is straight offer on my part, and

get large purse, and it is u sure thing
that If Sharkey can defeat Mahcr he can
win plenty of money and cannot find any

Memphis, March 30.-The flood sit
uation in the vicinity of Greenville,
Miss. Is alarming. The reported break
at Wayside, nine miles south of that
city, is confirmed, and the latest re-
ports are that the water is pouring
through a crevasse 500 yards in width.
A telegram from Perthshire, 4S miles
north of Greenyille, and Immediately
at the head of the fertile Yazoo delta,
states that break has occurred In
the main levee. Special trains loaded
with laborers and sacks of sand have
been dispatched to the scene. II the
break at Perthshire assumes anything
like the proportions of the crevasse at
Wayside the destruction will be enor-
nous. The waters will sweep over the
rich farm lands Of Boliver. Washing

Ten thousand men line the levees
between Memphis and Vicksburg. The
warning from the weather bureau at
Washington Sunday night Is having
its effect. Many of the inhabitants Of
the delta have corraled their animals
on high strips of land, and moved
their families out of danger. At Mem
phis the river continues to fall slowly.
A dispatch from Gunnison, Miss.
says that break In the levee is ex-
pcted at Sunnyside, but 1t could no
doubt be averted If 150 men and mate
rial could be had at once. According
ly 100 white men were dispatched s1l
special train from this city to the
scene. The negroes at Ca.hp Congo
were offered 81 per da,s and all ex-
penses to lend a helJng hand. but.
with one exception the offer was re-
fused. There IS much Indignation
among the r.tizens at this action OF
the negro refugees.
A late dispatch from Greenville says:
A. o'clock in the morning the levee at
Dearfield, ten miles below Greenville,
succumbed. The levee and 100 yards of
the vast embankment gave way, and
torrents of water rushed upon the
Hogs and cattle were drown
ed, while the people, mostly colored.
rushed to the levee above and below
the break, and huddled together until
they were rescued. Thousands of
acres of the most fertile lands in the
delta already planted in corn or ready
to be planted in cotton will suffer.
