American Asylum For Greeks.

Washington, April 19.-Special interest
Is being taken by the Washington au-
thorities in the Greco-Turkish war by
the announcement that the Greek gov
ernment has invoked the American min
lister to Constantinople for protection of
Its citizens in Turkey.
When reporter called upon Secretary
Sherman last night, he was shown a
cipher dispatch which he had just re-
celVed from Minister Terrell. He stated
that this dispatch relates to the decla-
ration of war by Turkey and to the re-
quest of the Greeks for the protection
OIL the American flag.
AS to the request that the American
minister at Constantinople be required
10 look after the Greeks domiciled in
turkish territory. Secretary Sherman
SAID there Sould be no objection to Min
lister Terrell complying. Even without
definite instructions he believed that
precedent would justify the minister in
giving protection to the Greeks in the
absence of a representative of their
government in that country. He said
1t was a common practice, fully recog-
hiTed by international law, for for
eign ministers when called upon to pro-
tect aliens whose country was at war
with that in which they resided

Only Two of an Expedition Escaped Mas
sacre by the Abyssinians.
Paris, April 20.-The Temps publishes
a story saying that an Italian expedi-
tion under Major Bottego has been
annihilated in southern Abyssinia. 1t
appears that the Ethiopian general
commanding at Baro requested Major
Bottego to halt until the expedition
was authorized by the negus to pro-
ceed.
The Italians, it is stated, fired on the
messengers bearing the flag of truce
and killed them. In the fight between
the Abyssinians and Italians which
followed only two of the latter sue
ceeded in escaping.
In consequence of the peace nego-
tiations with Emperor Menelik, 1t was
supposed the Italian campaign against
the Abyssinians had been ended for
the present.
An Egyptian expedition had
been sent to the aid of the Italians
holding Kassala.
Germany, Austria and England all
advised King Humbert's government
to conclude a peace with Menelik. Then
negotiations were commenced for bring
ing the strange war to close. The
conditions proposed were the establish
ment of the status quo ante" the
boundary of the line of the italian
possessions being drawn at the Moreb
river. Tiger was to form a buffer state
under Ras Makonnen. The ruler of
this state was to be named by Italy
and Abyssinia acting together

the victory at Adowa, invaded the

uated by the Italians.

FIGHTING ON FRONTIER.
The Greeks Meet the Turks In Battle at
Prevesa and Reveni.

Prevesa and Reveni.
Athens, April 2O.-The situation at
the gulf of Arta and in the vicinity of
the Albanian frontier has become
more favorable for the Greeks. The
bombardment of Prevesa has contin-
ued, with but feeble replies from the
Turkish batteries at Hamidieh and
Pantocratoros. The position of the
Turks is untenable, and it is believed
the town will fall into the hands of the
large Greek force in the vicinity, which
Is waiting for the demolition of the re-
naming batteries. The Greek battle
ship Spetzai has taken the lead in the
bombardment.
1t is feared that massacre has taken
place at Prevesa during the lombard
ment.
The Greeks have occupied several
strategic positions around Damasi, in
Guiding Viglia. Three thousand armed
peasants have Joined the troops. II
Is alleged that $4,000 Turks attacked
Reveni.
General Smolenitz is in command of
$4,000 Greeks at Reveni, not far from
Tyrnavo, northwest of Larissa. At
this point Edhem Pasha closely press
ed, was nearly taken prisoner His plan
was to force the pass of Reveni, to
enter the plain of Larissa, to cut off
the retreat of the Greek army with his
cavalry and thus to take Larissa with
out resistance. But this plan was de-
feated.
General Demopoulos, at the head of
one Greek division, forced the Turkish
line at BogaZi, close to Tyrnavo, and
General Mavromichalis broke through
at Koniskos. The two generals united
their troops near Damasi.
The news of this success at Reveni
and of the imminent fall of Prevesa
has changed the dismay caused at
Athens by the loss of Milouna into the
widest rejoicing.
The fighting at Menexa, the key to
the Milouna pass, continues desperate.
with no definite results yet reached.
The losses on both sides have been
very heavy.

AN INDEMNITY CLAIM
The Case of the American Sailors
Imprisoned In Cuba.
SPAIN WILL NOT OPEN The MATTER.
Some Nominations Sent to the Senate by
the President-van Cott Gets New
York Postoffice-Senate Further
Considers Morgan's Resolution.

Washington, April 81. - Secretary
Sherman has sent to the senate in re-
sponse to resolution the correspond
ence in the case of two American sail
ors, Gustav Richelieu of Boston and
August Bolten. who asked of Spain
$4,000 indemnity each on account Of
their Imprisonment for three weeks at
Santiago de Cuba.
The sailors claimed that they were
shipwrecked on the coast of Cuba on
Feb. 16. 1894, having left Port au
Prince to fish for queen turtles. No
charges were preferred against them,
and after three weeks they were re-
leased, one having contracted rheuma-
tism in prison, the other yellow fever.
Their attorneys presented claims to
the state department, and the case is
still pending, although Spain has
twice refused to pay indemnity. Sec
retary Olney, in a letter to the attorney
for the sailors, Mr.. David Gordon of
New York, dated June 49, 1895, informs
him that the revolutionary disturb
ances in Cuba and the mot unreasona-
BILE suspicion" that the sailors were
connected with a filibustering expedi-
ton might make it difficult to secure
indemnity.
In presenting the case to Minister
Taylor, Secretary Olney said that the
treatment of Bolten was in violation of
treaty stipulations, which provided for
the hospitable reception of American
citizens driven upon Spanish territory
under stress of weather and that citi-
zens of the United States taken with
out arms should be tried by the ordi-
nary civil tribunals
Spain Claims Arrest Was Warranted.
The Spanish minister of state in Sep
tember, 1896, replied to Minister Tay-
lor that the appearance of the sailors
in boat without clearance papers at
about the time of the first filibustering
expeditions warranted their arrest and
that the proceedings against them were
the shortest permitted by the laws;
that their statements did not agree and
were evidently false, and finally that
his majesty's government finds itself
obliged to rejeGt in an absolute manner
the demand ttr an indemnity consid-
ering this case finally and irrevocably
ended"
March 1, 1897, the Duke of Tetuan re-
fused again to open the claim, stating
that many small craft similar to the
boat in which the two sailors were
found had brought munitions of war to
Cuba and that their detention was pre-
ventive and not penal. Referring to the
treaty of 1895, the duke asks, who will
maintain that those benefits are abso-
lutely unconditional and that they ex-
tend to those who bear hostile inten-
tions?" and adds, 1.-THE application of
the treaty did not suffer any alteration,
but only justified delay, which was
followed by the full and immediate ap-
plication of the treaty as soon as it
was possible to do so''

greeks Ready For the Fight.

Athens, April ia late special
sitting of the legislative assembly
was held last evening. The public gal
leries were crowded. Amid intense eX-
citement M. Delyannis, the premier, an
nounced that the Turkish government
had notified Greece of the rupture of
diplomatic relations on the ground of
the aggressive attitude of the Greek
government. In cool but most delib-
crate speech he reviewed the recent
events to show, on the contrary, that
Turkey had been the aggressor, that
her troops had attacked the Greeks and
attempted to occupy neutral positions
and that her batteries at Prevesa had
sunk the Greek ship Macedonia.
Turkey" said NJ. Delyannis, de
clares war against us. We accept it,"
This statement was received with pro-
longed cheers from the galleries and
the floor of the chamber.
The premier then read dispatches re-
citing the events which had happened
on the frontier, and with reference to
the reported capture of Menexa he said
that the batteries at that important po-
sition had been brought into action, but
he knew nothing as to it's alleged cap
ture. He added that the Turks, after
repeated attempts to force passage at
Reveni, which commands the road to
Larissa, had been driven back.
The leader of the opposition, amid re-
newed cheers from all parts of the
chamber and from the galleries, elo-
quently indorsed the patriotic declara-
tions of M. Delyannis.
Assim Bey has handed to M. Skouzes,
the Greek minister of foreign affairs,
the following note:
I'm consequence of the aggressive at
titude of Greece, diplomatic relations
between the king of the Hellenes and
his imperial majesty, the sultan of
Turkey, and their respective govern
ments are hereby broken off.
1.-THE Greek minister at Constantine
pie and the Greek consuls have been
ordered to quit Turkish territory. For
the same reason the Turkish consuls in
Greece have been recalled to Constan-
tinople. Within a fortnight from the
date of this announcement all Greek
subjects must leave Turkish territory.
Ottoman subjects now on Greek terri
tory have been invited to leave it with
In the same period"
The government has addressed note
to Assim Bey expressing surprise at the
allegations contained in his note to M.
Skouzes and pointing out facts proving
that Turkey is the aggressor. The gov
ernment disclaims all responsibility for
any events that may now occur.
The metropolitan of Athens has or
dered prayers in all the churches for
the success of the Greek arms.

Constantinople, April 19.-The council
of ministers after long session at the
palace declared that war had broken
out on the frontier owing to the incur
sion by the Greeks on Turkish territory,
and Edhem Pasha, the Turkish military
commander was ordered to assume the
offensive.
The council of ministers also de-
cided to recall Assim Bey, the Turkish
minister at Athens. and give passports

Ister at Constantinople.
The situation is summed up in a de-
tail circular sent to the Turkish repre-
sentatives abroad. This circular recalls
the weeks invasions of Turkish terri
tory and states that the newest incur
sion was participated in by Greek
troops, thereby establishing war, which
has broken out. The circular expresses
the hope that the powers in a spirit
of Justice will agree that the entire re-

Turkey has no idea of conquest, the
circular adds, and as a fresh proof of
pacific sentiments the sublime porte
offers to retire the Turkish troops on
the frontier, if Greece will retire her
forces from the frontier and from Crete.
