Greeks Must Leave Ecypt.

London, April 20.-A dispatch to the
Times from Rome says that the Turk
ish government has called upon the
khedive to expel all Greeks from Egypt.
AS the Greeks number $4,000, and are
the chief promoters of commerce and
trade, their removal is desired by none
save the old Turkish party. It is prob
able that France will undertake to pro-
tect them, and thus the expulsion will
be avoided

Athens, April Observation-Disclosures
has just reached here that the Greeks
have captured and burned Damasi.
Viglia is still resisting, but another di-
vision of the Greek troops, it is report
ed, has traversed the Reveni pass and
captured three block-houses. This di-
vision has almost reached Damasi,
where it will effect a union with the
force that captured the town. The TO-
900 troops under General Smolenitz dis
played the greatest bravery.
Revent lies twelve miles northwest Of
Larissa. Edhem Pasha, with force
variously estimated at from 10000 to
$4,000 troops, led seven assaults against
tiara, but all were repulsed by the
Greeks.
The crown prince Constantin has tel
egraphed here that the Turks at that
point were completely and finally re-
pulsed.
In Athens greater attention has been
paid to the operations in the neighbor-
hood of Reveni than to those at Milou-
ma pass. The theory all along has been
that If the Greeks could establish en-
trenchments at Damasi their road
would lie open to Salonica. The exact
situation is somewhat in doubt. What
seems to have happened is that Tyrna-
vos was evacuated in order to send
troops forward to Reveni, and was then
occupied by troops returning from Mi
louna.
Athens, April 21.-1 a. m.-The report
of the capture of Damasi by the Greeks
is confirmed by official dispatches.
Official dispatches report also that
further heavy breaches have been made
to Turkish forts at Prevesa. The bonn
bardment ceased at nightfall, but will
be resumed this wednesday, morning.
The iron-clad Spetzia has left the
gulf of Arta to join the squadron which,
it is said, has an important mission.

LATEST ESTIMATES.
Operator Says the Strike viii be a
Failure.


/ Pittsburg. July according to esti-
mates of the miners officials. So rail-
road mines are idle and 26 are still in
operation They reported that in a
number Of cases they had heard no
news from certain mines and take ii
for granted in many cases that they
are in operation.
The miners of this state say the op-
orators Will claim a mine in opera ton
as long as there are but two men at
work
The operators claim that the Pan
handle mines. operated by NJ a. Han
ma, where the irOn-clad law is in force.
worked as usual today. The miners.
on the other hand. maintain that the
entire Millers and Thomas Run dis
tricts. where these mines are located
is out on strike. The opera tors them
selves admit that there were not the
usual number of men at work in the
SnOwden and GaStonville mines. oper-
ated by the Pittsburg and Chicago
company, where the iron-clad is also
in force.
4 fair estimate shows that there are
about 10000 to $1,000 railroad miners
now present. A list of the mines idle
along the rivers could not be obtained
here tonight and reports concerning
the river situation are conflicting The
operators assert that the river mines
are nearly all running. while the min
ers's officials claim they are all idle.

Hanna's Ideas.

New York, July Ga dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Sena-
tor Hanna of Chic, in speaking of the
coal miners strike, said:
owing to the existing conditions of
business no one can be expected TO
raise wages for the present anywhere
in any line of business, and therefore
the strikers have chosen a very I'M
fortunate time to make their demands,
whether the latter be reasonable or
not. With better times. greater con-
fidence and an increased demand for
the product of the mines it ought to
be possible to give laborers of all kinds
a better return for their labor.
That is what we mean by prosperity
an improved condition of business
when operations are carried on in a
safe and profitable way. The good
times are coming. but they will not
come suddenly, but gradually. and
when business does improve employers
of labor can listen to the grievances of
the employed. ] do not see that they
can be expected to do so before. 1t is
to be hoped that the men <-iH agree to
submit the matter to arbitration and
let their troubles rest for the present
in a reasonable manner. ACES of vio-
lence prompted by thoughtless passion
can never accomplish anything good"
