and in killed, wounded and prisoners,
the Spanish lost $50 men.
News comes from Santiago de Cuba
that 200 volunteers headed by priest

The situation at Banes continues to

rebel force in and near Banes is esti-
mated at 5000.
General Weyler came quietly back
to Havana yesterday morning after
six weeks trip to Santa Clara, during
which, if he accomplished anything
from military standpoint, the fact has
been most effectually concealed. 1t is
now reported that he is going to Spain
soon, but the report is probably due to
the fact that his son sailed April 80.

Turkeys Terms of Peace.

New York, May 3.-A World special
from Washington says: The terms of
peace which Turkey has offered Greece
have reached the Washington legation.
They are as follows:
The restoration of the boundary fixed
by the treaty of 1881, which gave to
Turkey all of Thessaly, including its
extensive seacoast; the evacuation bv
Greece of Prevesa and other points in
the province of Epirus; the withdrawal
OF Greek troops from Crete and the
acceptance OF the plan of autonomy
offered the island by the porte, and the
payment of war indemnity large
enough to cover the expense of the
mobilizing of the Turkish troops.

The Flood of Revolutions,

Washington, May 1.-The quest
of whether business was to be done
the senate next week was raised tp
by Pettigrew, when the senate u!
Pettigrew proposed that the sem
direct conference on the Indian
preparation bill.
Chandler, however, gave notice D
he would object to any business be
done, because there was general
derstanding that none should be tai
up during the absence of SO many SCI
tors in New York to attend the o.
monies of dedication of the Grant md
ument. Other senators protested u
there had been no such agreen9
made. Thereupon, Quay sugge
that, before the passage of the Ind
appropriation bill was disposed
there should be an investigation
leases of oil lands of the Seneca
dians, remarking that the senate shO
know whether the Indians were BEL
robbed.
A message from the president, trrs
mitting the result of the commission
adjust the boundary between the Unis
States and Mexico, west of the B
Grande, was read.
Quay presented a resolution CALI
upon the secretary of the interior
information as to whether the leases
the Seneca's oil lands had been ma
in the usual manner, and whether th'
had been any corruption. 1t v
agreed to.
During the presentation of men
rials, Spooner offered one "from s.
eral thousand men who were work.
Tor wages in the lumber districts

OF the lumber schedule in the Ding
bill.
The senate was deluged with resO

FISHERMEN DROWNED.
One Capsized in the Breakers at
Clatsop Spit.

Astoria, Or, May 3.-The first
drowning of the fishing season occurred
about O'Clock this morning, when one
of Seaborg's boats capsized in the
breakers near Clatsop spit. In the boat
were John Hendrickson and his boat
puller, August Koshela. The wind
was blowing heavily at the time, and
when Hendrickson's boat overturned
few men had their nets out The boat
nearest the capsized craft went to its
assistance, and succeeded in rescuing
the boatpuller, but Hendrickson sank.
1t is probable the body will never be re-
covered. The deceased was a Russian
Finn, about 30 years old, and unmar-
ried. He had lived in this country
eight years, and had brother and sis
ter living in Astoria.
News was received here late this af-
ternOon of the finding of a body OF an
other fisherman. One of Kinney's boats
drifted up on Long Beach, near Ocean
Park. The net was fast to the boat,
and tangled in the web was the body OF
the unfortunate man. His name was
not learned. 1t is probable the boat
puller was also lost.
1t is reported tonight that one of
Booths boats capsized this afternoon
near Clatsop spit, and that both captain
and boatpuller drowned. FIRE report
is evidently true, although neither the
number of the boat nor the names OF
the men were given. The report was
brought up by fisherman, who had
learned nothing more.

War in Greece.

Washington, May 3.-Gcneral Miles
today received the formal assent of the
president for his projected trip to Tur-
key and Greece. The order read:
The president grants You permis-
sion to proceed, rs soon as practicable,
to the seat of war in the Levant, and
II authority therefor be granted to you
by the respective governments con-
cerned, to visit the Turkish and Greek
armies, or both, as, in your Judgment,

ther grants you authority, while in
Europe, to visit such other countries as

opportunity for military observation,
and at such times rs you may deem
most expedient
General Miles will be gone two or
three months, as in addition to max
ing a personal study of the military
features of the contest between the
Turks and Greeks, he proposes to in
spect the military establishments of
the principal European powers-Ger.

ton will be embodied in an official re.
port to the president.

why the Turkish Attack Eailed.

London, May 3.-The Chronicles
correspondent at Pharsala telegraphs:
The Turks attacked Velestino juno
tion Tuesday night with four squadrons
of cavalry and battery of horse ar
tillery. The large force of Greeks beat
the Turks off, but not before they had
displaced half dozen rails and cut
the wires. The latter were repaired
and on Wednesday the train service was
resumed.
Fighting was renewed Wednesday
night, but without special results. On
Thursday night, the Turks assembled
in great force in the direction of Veles-
tino. The Turks made an attack before
dawn, but were successfully repulsed.
Three times in the course of the morn
ing was the attack repeated, each time
from different direction, and each
time the result was repulse. APP
parently it was intended that the at
tacks should be simultaneous, but this
plan failed, owing to lack of proper Or
ganization. The Turks, however,
pushed the attack with the utmost de-
termination for six hours, and only
abandoned the attempt to seize the
junction about noon.
The Greeks behaved we'll. The third
brigade and artillery particularly dis
tinguished themselves under General
Smolenski. The Turkish losses were
heavy. The Greek loss was much
lighter. Colonel Janninosta, with the
Eighth regiment, pursued the Turks
several miles.
Full-grown and mature men, we'll
armed, though without uniforms, are
arriving here with every train. They
are supplied with ammunition. The
transport service is improving rapidly.
Heliograph and night watching signals
have been established, covering the en-
tire territory occupied by the forces.
An excellent spirit animates the men,
who work hard from in the morning
until Z in the evening, besides Sleep
ing on their arms at night.

TOUGH ON AMERICANS.
Alien Miners in Rossland May Have to
Become British Citizens.

Rossland, B. c., May 3.-The pro-
posed law as to alien miners having to
declare intentions to become citizens
before they can take out a miners GER
titicate is causing much talk here, and
there are still hopes that it will not be-
come law, although it has passed the
legislature. Strong petitions against
it are going up from all parts of British
Columbia, the principal argument be-
ing that without American energy the
mining wealth of the country would
not have been discovered, and without
it this wealth cannot be developed.
Eighty-three Americans today applied
for miners licenses at fee of So each
per annum, some for one year, some for
two, and some for three years. There
are many prospectors from the Ameri-
can side who have previously taken out
licenses for several years, and these,
the new law, if it becomes a law, will
not be able to touch. There will prob
ably be rush of American miners at
other points to get miners certificates
before the law is signed.

THE GUTHRIE CALAMITY.
Five More Bodies Recovered From
the Debris.

Kansas City, May "a special to
the Times from Guthrie, o. T., says:
Five more bodies were recovered from
the debris left by Wednesdays storm
in West Guthrie. The bodies of
George Owen and Mrs. Charles Ruffins
were found on the west bank OF the
river The bodies of Henry Simmons
and Mrs. Watson and child were found
under pile of hay near the Cimarron.
Mrs Watson had her child clutched to
her breast, in which position both met
death. Scores of organized searching
parties are at work, but progress is
slow, since tons of debris must be dug
over in the search. 1t is believed the
rushing waters of the Cimarron conceal
many corpses. The Cimarron is two
miles north, and when the flood came
the waters of the Cottonwood Joined it.
The Cimarron's bottom contains quick
sand, and it is one of the most treacher-
GUS streams in the country. 1t flows
into the Arkansas in Pawnee county,
and it is believed several bodies. il not
buried in the sand, have been carried to
the Arkansas, which is also very high

Another Retreat Probable.

from Thessaly is unfavorable. Fight
ing at Velestino was resumed this morn

Gus cavalry charges, but their left was
compelled to retire. 1t is feared their
position at Pharsala will be outfianked,
thus compelling a retreat to Demokos.
