this point she is determined rot TO

the situation created would be most
detrimental to the Greek peace; the
Turkish population would inevitably

THE FINAL BATTLE.
Terrific Firing and Greek Bravery on


Domokos. May 17.-Delayed IN trans
mission. THE real fighting began be-
fore this place about II o'clock today.
1t was nearly 8 o'clock in the afternoon
before the preliminary skirmishes were
over and the terrific combat commenc-
ed. The skimishers increased the rap
idity Of their fire, the main bodies OF
the Turkish troops advancing, their
movements being governed by the fire
of the artillery. soon the engagement
was general, the musketry fire inereas-
ed in fury, and the booming Of the
held pieces became incessant.
The guns Of the Greeks were splen-
didly aimed and succeeded in putting
one Turkish piece out Of action, but
the Turkish artillerymen revengei
themselves by Pumping a shell into the
Greek caisson. filed with ammunition,
and it blew up.
During the artillery duel the main
bodies Of the Turkish infantry opened
fire at long range in order 10 discover
the positions occupied by the enemy.
The Greeks were not long In replying
No sooner did the Turkish commander
feel the enemy accurately than he push
ed forward his irregular troops to the
attack. The latter advanced with great
spirit and in the face Of hot fire drove
the Greeks from some of their advanced
positions.

and desperate on both sides up to the
present. II was still more so from this
time on. The firing on both sides De-
came really terrific. The sun was get
ting near the horizon and both sides
realized the importance Of achieving
decisive results before nightfali. Long
lines Of flame and smoke opposed each
other. The Turks continued to pour
a hail Of lead at the Greeks In their
lntrenched positions, the latter replying
with a continuous volley Of leaden mis-
siles. Both the Turkish and Greek bat
teries meanwhile were belching forth
neyer-ceass1g storm Of shells and
shrapnel.
II was then O'Clock In the evening
and neither side had gained any very
great advantage. The Greeks stubborn
ly resisted the advance Of their enc
mics. but the soldiers Of the sultan had
gained ground. and were lighting with
as much dash and briliiancy as when
the hrst cannon shot announced the
opening Of the engagement.
The sun finally disappeared and dark
ness spread slowly over the blood
stained country. but the fierce combat
ragged on uninterrupted. and with un-
abated vigor.
Toward O'Clock the Greeks, having
gaIlantly held their entrenchments
against superior forces and having Civ
en- proof Of the greatest courage, de-
serving Of all praise. began to slacken
their FIRE. The firing Of the Turks at
the same time also abated. and soon
Il ceased altogether on both sides.

SPANISH MINISTER PLEASED.
Spain Satisfied With McKinley's Mes
sage and Proposed Relief.

Washington, May 19-In an unau-
thorlzed interview the Spanish minister
Dupuy de Lone broke his diplomatic
silence and said:
'I am going at once to call on the
president and express my gratitude for
his splendid action and kindly consid-
Grafton shown In the wording of his
message. Notwithstanding the activity
of the papers that are hostile and I'M
just, our cause has again triumphed.
We are stronger today with President
Mckinley and Secretary Sherman than
we ever were with the Cleveland adj
minlstration Spain has no objection
whatever TO the United States helping
her own citizens now resident in Cuba
and alleged to be in distress. The way
that the charity IS distributed is en-
tirely the affair of the United States,
and not that of Spain. This govern
ment expressly states that only Amer
leans are TO be relieved; therefore no
authority is asked 10 feed the subjects
of the king of Spain If Americans
have suffered through exigencies Of
war. it is their misfortune to be in
Cuba at this particular time. Spain
does not care If the United States man
tains her citizens in luxury, so long as
she contributes her bounty through the
consular agents and only in the towns.

DEPARTMENT SECRETS
Consul Lees Report d--Excitement
Prevails as a Result.

Washington, May ig-Thc secret ar
chives Of the state department. which
have held the consular reports Of the
Cuban war from the public, were par
TALLY disclosed today by Senator Fora
ker.
During the past week the senate has
been pregnant with intimations and In
nuendoes Of reports from the United
States officials In Cuba held at the
state department, which If published
would disclose condition on Cuban soil
which would Influence opinion I'm n de-
cided manner. The facts therefore,
which Senator Foraker announced, with
out stating from whom they came,
caused decided stir. Especially start,
ling was the letter from Secretary o.
ney In which this country offered ne,
diation to Spain and refusal NJ that
country TO accept the preferred aid.
While one of the consular reports was
read. without the name Of the author
being disclosed II is stated TO be a
communication from General Lee which
fully sets forth his idea OF the condi
tions which exist In Cuba.
An extract was quoted as follows, no
date being given;
II cannot understand the truth Of the
claim that all the provinces Of the
island are pacifed, except that of San,
tiago de Cuba, because there are more
insurgents under arms at this tlsrc than
at any period since | first reached the
island, some ten months ago, and I do
not think 1t fair inference to draw
from the existing conditions that The
war Is approaching termination, be-
cause in pursuance Of an established
policy the insurgents avoid, as far as
possible. all serious engagements.
II conclude. therefore, that the war
viii drag It's weary length along so
long as the insurgents can dig susie
nance from the ground on the one side,
or money can he obtained by the other,
with the continued result Of untold nu-
man suffering, loss of human lie, inur-
der of innocent men, women and chill
dren by both sides, and the frightful
havoc which disease makes In the ranks
of soldiers, particularly among the un>
acclimated Spanlards.
THE poverty and distress Of the peo'
ple are increasing and the loss Of prop
erty Of all sorts is daily becoming
more enormous"

the same energy which built the house
