Trouble on Montenegrin Frontier.
DETAILS OF THE ENGAGEMENT.
Invasion of Macedonia by Irregular
Greek Troops.

Invasion of Macedonia by Irregular
Greek Troops.
Athens, April 10-Dispatchcs received
here this afternoon from LariSsa give de-
tails of the invasion of Macedonia by Il
force of irregular Greek troops Three
thousand men, it is announced. crossed
the frontier on Wednesday, the day after
the celebration of the anniversary of the
declaration of Greek independence IN
1921. Tuesday, the day Of the celebra-
ton, was looked upon as likely TO be the
day the Greeks would select for opening
hostilities, but Tuesday in Greece is con-
sidered an unlucky day upon which TO
embark upon any undertaking of impor-
lance, and so the crossing of the frontier
was postponed until Wednesday.
The Greek expeditionary force is com
manded by ex-otticcrs and ex-noncommis-
stoned officers Of the regular army Of
Greece and includes the band of Italian
volunteers commanded by Col. Cipriani
The Go-called insurgents are all well
armed and have been equipped at the ex-
pense of the Ethnike Hetairia. the "a
nous and powerful Greek secret society
which has been the root and branch of
the present crisis, practically controlling
the country. The members of the exDe-
dition all wear the badge of the Ethnike
Hetairia and We're given an enthusiastic
send off by the Thessalans and Greek
troops
The latter. it is almost unnecessary to
add, made no attempt to prevent the de-
parture of the expedition, and therefore
it cannot be claimed that the movement
was unknown TO the Greek authorities.
Two Greek flags were solemnly entrust-
ed TO the Charge of the insurgents and
good arrangements have been made for
forwarding food and other supplies to
the eXpeditionary force. The news of
the invasion has caused the most intense
excitement here.
\ dispatch from Arta dated at II
o'clock last night announces that Adj
miral kriesis has assumed command of
the Greek squadron in the Gulf Of Am
bracia, hosting his flag on hoard the
irOnclad Spezia. He has had an i'm
pOrtant conference with Admiral Manos.
The telegraph line between here and
Janina, the headquarters of the Turk
ish army stationed there TO meet a pos
sible advance of the Greeks from Arta,
has been cut, but service continues via
Monsatari.
The Greek REGULARS crossed the from
tier ia the night time and surprised and
burned four Turkish outposts stations.
The Turkish troops are advancing to-
ward the point of attack from Diskata,
Isipilo and Metzoyo.
The villagers Of Isipilo say they have
heard the firing of big guns and suppose
that the Turks are engaged with the
Greeks.
Edhem Pasha again promptly wired to
Constantinople for instructions.
1t appears that Greece a few days ago
warned the Turkish authorities that in
surgent bands would probably attempt TO
cross the frontier and that the authori-
ties could not stop them, but it is believed
here that SO large a body of insurgents
could not have advanced into the Turk
ish territory without the knowledge Of

The Day of the Red Terror.

January 27, 1906, was the famous
Day Of the Red Terror" described by
medieval chroniclers. The dawn was
clear and beautiful, but shortly before
the sun rose the heavens became OBJ
scured in strange red blaze. 1t hid
the sun and the crimson glare fell upon
the earth Ike the reflection of some
great confiagration. Terror filled the
hearts of mankind everywhere The
churches of Europe were filed the whole
day long. Anchorites and hernits came
from their retreats and cried aloud that
the Day Of Judgment was at hand. In
the afternoon and evening some people
declared they could see the angels and
devils battling in the air and that the
blood Of the conflict rained upon the
earth. However, about midnight the red
pail disappeared before a wind and the
panic-stricken people recovered their
senses

WHEAT UP AGAIN.
Excitement in New YOrk-Price
Goes Down a Little Under
Heavy Selling.

New York, April 10.-The grain mar
kets were wild this morning. The first
minutes trading in wheat presented one
of the most exciting scenes during the
year Prices shot upward with an over
night bound Of 11a cent q bushel-May TO
72k cents. The buying orders were
urgent Offerings, however, were very
light and left an open gap for the buying
brokers to cover.
Traders stood in open-eyed wonder at
the sudden change from yesterdays de-
naoralization But there was quick
rally and a more exciting selling move
ment commenced. Prices dropped by
quarter cents q bushel, sometimes with
out transactions intervening, declining to
72A cents.
The trading was mostly local and real
izing and short selling were the features.
Lower consols and a speculative or
manipulated wild scare were the inVig
Grating influences. Foreign markets
were quiet and showed no concern, but
this fact was wholly overlooked. After
the first ten minutes all excitement had
abated and then a graduating dullness
prevailed.
