cONSTANTINE'S WARLIKE TALK.
Greek Commander-in-Chie Says He
Is Fully Prepared to
Make War.

New York April 1.-THE Press will to-
morrow print the following from its special
correspondent at Larissa, Thessaly:
II had personal interview with Crown
Prince Constantine, commander-in-chief of
the Greek troops. at lis headquarters here
this afternoon. The prince talked freely of
the situation now confronting the people.
He said: I am fully prepared to make war
when 1t becomes necessary. My troops are
in excellent condition and the warlike
spirit prevails in the soul of every man
under arms.
- If the Turkish army should make an
attempt to cross the frontier and attack us,
i should act promptly. L shall stand by
the decision, whatever may happen, but l
shall not do anything 10 force the crisis.
'' In the face of any popular demonstra-
tion favorable to declaration of war, l
am convinced that my soldiers would prove
true to their allegiances. and would obey
me. no matter what influence was brought
to bear on them. Therefore. / do not fear
any hasty action on their part without first
considering my orders. The incursion into
Turkish territory by several rebel bands of
armed Greeks was wholly unauthorized by
me, and absolutely against my. policy and
my instructions from the king. The at
tack upon the Moslems will, by no means.
be used as an excuse to begin war. and
shall do my utmost to prevent a repetition
of such violation of the neutrality laws.
Tho Turkish position captured by these
rebels will not be occupied by the Greek
army, nor will We aid the invaders in any
way.

Nerve to Stop Encroachments
of the Flood,

New Orleans, La. April 1.-THE river
gauge fuctuates between IS and 1872 feet.
This brings the record up to one-tenth
of foot higher than given by any official
data compiled. The river is certainly BOOM
ing and in spots the water washes over the
aprons of the levees. making extensive
deposits of mud. The authorities. how
ever, deny any additional apprehensions,
and are resourceful in combating any in
roads made by the river, rapidly applying
temporary barriers of sacks filled with
earth and such other devices as are most
eXpedient. In the adjoining parishes of st.
Bernard and Plauquemines, the levees suf-
fer most from wave washes, but the Of
fic:als charged with the duty of maintain
ing the embankments in good shape are
stfaining every nerve to keep out the
water. The present dry weather Is a God
send and the rainsoaked levees are drying
quickly, facilitating improvements. In spite
of the rising river the situation can be
described as satisfactory.

fact the majority of them. have rented

one crop in territory unvisited by the Mis-

A fear now entertained by the large
planters is that the gaps in the levee may
not be closed in time to avert the drowning

wide and the Hubbard and Westover

duration of the flood is uncertain. If it

time enough to make these repairs in the
levee, get fences up, repuild cabins and
make repairs necessary.

A PROTEST FROM THE PORTE.
Tells the Powers That the Regular
Greek Army Has Crossed the
Turkish Frontier

London, April 1.-THE Times will print
the following dispatch from :ts Athens cor
respondent tomorrow:
The porte in a protest to the powers
against the Greek invasion says that the
regular Greek army entered Turkish terri
tory near Grevana and committed acts of
hostility by destroying three posts.
The protest further declares that these
acts virtually constitute an act of aggres-
sion and a casus belli. and denounces
Greece az an aggressor in the affair
The choice of the moment to begin the
war does not rest with King George or
with the government. but with the Ethnike
Hetairia. The activity of this organization
has been centered mainly in Macedonia
and only incidentally In Crete. The rebel
lion in Crete was planned for March. but
was precipitated by the violence of certain
Cretan Mohammedans. and broke out six
weeks earlier than was intended. The
Cretan movement was designed to be sub
sidiary. The Macedonian was planned for
a much later date. owing to the greater
rigor OF the Macedonian climate. which is
not favorable to active operations much be-
fore May.
Events. however, have Travelled faster
than was expected. Even If the Cretan
question had been arranged there would
have been an attempt to carry out the
scheme for a rising in Macedonia.

evening it is 500. The leyees are in superb
condition. Engineer Thompson, who in
spected the line from Lake Providence
down Yesterday and to-day, as well as a
portion below the city, saws that IN but
two places is the line lower than two feet
above the river; that both of these have
large forces at work on them and that
plenty of dry material is accessible at all
points along the line, except a half mile
where the levee is very strong. Place a
thoroughly organized force behind such
lines of defense and it will be seen that
barring accidents they must hold it in

rising, and Engineers Richardson and

FROM CAMP AT KAKOPLEVEA.
Greek Irregulars Have Attacked q
BIockhouse, but the Fighting
lis Desultory.

London, April 1.-THE Daily Chronicle
will publish tomorrow dispatch from the
camp of the irregulars at Kakoplevea,
dated Friday. The camp is situated below
the snow line of Mount Pindus, on the
extreme North Thessalian frontier. The
Chronicles correspondent says that 1000 ir-
regulars in the service of the Etnike He
tairia crossed the frontier Friday morning
at Finika and burned several blockhouses.
They formed into three bodies and sur
rounded a strong Turkish station at Bal
tino. Nine prisoners were brought to Ka-
koplevea and decently lodged in school
house. The correspondent says: Il have
been to the scene of the action. The block
house is in the middle of a poor village.
The irregulars We're running around in un-
organized bodies, keeping up constant
fire at the blockhcuse, but apparently with
out much impression. When left at noon
to send this dispatch the Turks still held
out, but were firing over the heads of the
Greeks. They probably have been taken
prisoners ere this.
This movement is supposed TO be general
but yet l think only six Greeks have
been killed here. among them, however,
Mathis. the leader. But there have been
many wounded. The regulars did not par
ticipate in the fighting. This place is nine
hours distant from a telegraph station.
The Italian irregulars are suffering terribly
from cold and hunger and there is much
disease among them"
