CRISIS IS AVERTED.
No Changes in the Ger

WERE RENDERED,
Widest Rumors of All Kinds Afloat
in Berlin.

BERLIN, May S.-Throughout the
week the entire press has been full of
widest and most conflicting statements
have been published on the subject
The correspondent of the Associated
Press here learns on reliable authority
that the facts in the case are as fol-
lows: The designations of the i'm
perial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe,
and the minister for foreign affairs,
Baron Marschal Won Bierbierstein,
have been in the hands of the en-
been taken. On Wednesday his majes-
ty had a long conversation with Prince
Hohenlohe and later he received Baron
Marschall Won Bieberstein. Upon this
occasion the foreign and domestic po-
litical situation was discussed. Re-
garding the internal troubles, the Prus-
sian law associations and the military
trials bills were discussed, but no
agreement was reached. The emperor
also spoke Of the determined opposition
to the policy of Baron Marschall Won
Bieberstein upon the part of the Agrar-
ians, the Conservatives and even the
National Liberals and quoted the in
terpellation of the government on the
Of his remarks. Just for the moment
it is certain the present cabinet will
retain their posts. Both Prince Hohen-
lohe and Baron Marschall Won Bic
berstein will wait for a more opportune
moment to press their designations.

Krocher, Conservative, proposed that
the cost Of the monument which En-
peror William intends to erect to the
memory of his father, Emperor Fred
erick. should be betrayed from the
public funds although" he added, 'it
is hardly right to burden the tax
payers, during the present hard times,
when America is about to inflict a
serious injury upon Germany by
tariffs, to which the government has
passiyely submitted" Mr. MIGUEL, the
minister of finance, denounced the i'm
putation as being an unwarranted at
tack upon the government and upon
the minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Marschall Won Bieberstein.
Emperor William has been unusually
busy this week reviewing troops and
assisting at the test exercises with the
view of introducing the quick-firing can
ron into the army. This will be done
secretly and causiously for fear Of
arousing France and Russia. The new
field guns have been thoroughly tested
in three artillery regiments in this vi
cinity, another In SiIesia and one in
Bavaria, and they have proved emf
nently successful. They are of Krupp's
make and are lighter and of smaller
caliber than the old guns.
Emperor William has In no way
abandoned his naval plans. On May 20
Admiral Tirpitz, the author Of the Oft
quoted naval memorial and the pros
pective successor of Admiral Won Holl-
mann. as chief of the naval depart
ment, will arrive in Berlin from Japan
and will at once have an audience with
the emperor, who hopes Admiral Tir-
pitt will be better able to induce the
reichstag to grant the sum necessary
to carry out the naval scheme.
A new military march by Bizel, pre-
sented to Emperor William by the
French general, Boisdeffre has at once
been adopted for the German army by
his majesty. While, visiting the indus
trial school Of Berlin this week, the
emperor presented q number of books
to the school library and inscribed
on fly leaf the motto: MY strength
belongs to the world and to the Faith
erland' The emperor's recent decree
to minimize duels in the army has Just
been enforced for the first time in the
case Of Landrath and Won Reel, In
Posen, and the two officers settled their
dispute anicably by a council Of honor.

vantage from the opportunity.
The Turkish government, after many
futile attempts elsewhere, has conclud-
ed loan with the light house admin
istration for $2,5O0,OoO at per cent.
Part Of this money will be devoted to
war purposes. The impression now
prevails, however, that an armistice
will soon be arranged. It appears
that King George has asked the pow
ers, through the czar,. to mediate, and
it is expected that the Greeks will
follow Immediately with an official re-
quest for mediation. Greece will have
to yield in regard to the vacation Of
Crete. Germany strongly insists on
this point, considering Intervention to
be utterly useless while Greek troops
remain in Crete. France, Great Britain
and Italy are disposed to be more len
ient but Germany will carry the point.
The first step, therefore, in interven-
ton will be a renewed appeal to
Greece to evacuate the island of Crete,
and then it will depend upon the
Greek premier, M. Ralli. whether the
powers will or will not summon the
IOItC u WIIIlOldW IItS L III hlS4l S1I lily
from Thessaly. The negotiations will
be extremely difficult on account of the
question Of indemnity. All the cab
inets consider that Greece, as matter
of course, should pay Turkeys war ex-
penseS, but it Is doubtful If Greece
will be able to pay a cent. The sultan
wishes to keep Thessaly in pawn until
the money is paid or Europe guarantees
the payment of the indemnity. The
dicnncnd consent tn.
this, and Great Britain and Italy re-
fuse to entertain the suggestion that
the Greek fleet be delivered to Turkey
as a pledge for payment.
The powers are exerting their influ-
ence to maintain King George upon the
throne of Greece, and it is stated that
the Russian minister at Athens, NJ
Onou, has declared to M. Ralli that if
Greece remains loyal to her royal fam
lily, the powers will do their best to
lessen the full burden of war; but,
should the Greeks bring a catastrophe
upon the royal house, the powers will
unrelentingly let things take their
course.
vOLO, May 8.-A stirring incident In
connection with the battle at VelestinO
has just been reported. Gen. Srnolen-
ski. with something Of the magnetic
enthusiasm attributed to Skobeloff,
rode along the lines addressing the
soldiers and imploring them to remem-
Der the traditions of their race until
the sacred soil of Thessaly should be
saturated with their blood if need be.
It was like an inspiration. Both uni
formed soldiers and men with only
bandoliers filed with cartridges, the
belts around their native attire, cheer
ed and gripped their rifles more firmly
They gave another shout of determin-
alton and INDUCED in reckless, Wild
but sometimes searching shell fire. The
Turks fired volley after volley steadily
on their intrepid enemy. Then the
Greeks left the shelter of the trenches
and charged with wild shouts The
Turks quivered for moment and re-

mountain ridges. It WIS brilliant

ish consuls at Volo, accompanied by
the commanders of the French, Brit
ish and Italian warships, have had a
conference at Velestino with Edhen
Pasha, the Turkish commander. The
latter promised to respect the inhabi
tants and property at Volo, provided
the Greek squadron engaged to refrain
from hoStilities and retire beyond
range. The Greek admiral accepted
these terms. All foreigners at Volo
have embarked for other ports, and the
town is now empty.
Athens, May $3.50 q. m.-Coi. Vas
SOS has just arrived from Crete. 1t is
believed that an armistice of a fort
night between Greece and Turkey will
be agreed upon.
Constantinople, May S-The ambas-
sadors met today and discussed media
ton by the powers between Turkey
and Greece. The czar has informed
the sultan of the despatch of an ambu-
lance corps of surgeons, Red Cross
nurses ano 800 beds for the Turkish
wounded.
LARISSA, May s.-The report that
the Turks have occupied Volo is con-
firmed. The Turkish troops entered
that place this morning.
VeleStino, May s. The Greeks
have evacuated Volo. Detachments of
marines have landed from the British
Russian, French, Austrian and Ger
man war ships off that place to guard
the town. The forsign conSulS have
arrived to confer with Edhem Pasha,
the Turkish commander. AS this dis
patch Is being sent the Turkish troops

Washington, May S.-The Turkish le-
CATION has received the following from
Constantinople: "Edhem Pasha tele-
graphs that after a very serious bat
tie with considerable Hellenic force
concentrated at Velestino, the enemy
were completely put to rout, and the
city occupied by the imperial troops.
All the strategic points surrounding
Pilaw Tepe situated on the route Of
VolO, having been also occupied the
victorious army advanced toward
Vclo."
This advance to Volo is regarded at
the legation in Washington the most
important and decisive movement since
the war began. 1t is pointed out that
the result of 1t leaves the Greek army
cut in two, with Gen. Smolenski out
f1anked and unable to communicate
with the main body of the Greek army
under Prince Constantine. The Turk
ish forces now occupy line extending
from Milouna Pass southwark to Volo.
Gen. Snolenski's army is east of this
line, with a Turkish army between him
and Athens.
The Turkish legation tonight receiv-
ed the following cablegram from Con-
stantinople: "Edhem Pasha, who is
now at Velestino, telegraphs under
date of today, that the French
and British consuls of Volo
called upon him this evening
in order to state in their own
names and those of their colleagues
that the Greek troops had evacuated
the place, after having released the
convicts and they requested him to
send at once forces to occupy the town
and to secure the public order and

: LONDON, May S.-The news from
Thessaly has added fresh chapters to
the story of the Greek debacle. The
powers are now anxious that HOSTILE
ties should end. Turkey, however,
does not seem disposed to arrest her
army in the midst of its triumphs. The
war party at the Yildiz kiosk is very
strong, and wishes the complete humil
iation Of Greece. Therefore, it is urg-
ing the sultan not to stop his troops
until Edhem Pasha Is quartered in
Athens. The whole Of the Yildiz kiosk
encourage is represented as being at
the present moment in an extraordi
