CAUSED GREAT SURPRISE,
Reply Of the Porte Unexpected Ivy thu
Ambassadors.

Reply Of the Porte Unexpected by the
Ambassadors.
CoNsTANT1NOPLE, May l7.-The am-
bassadors met during the day to con.
slider the porte's answer, which is
regarded as raising an extremely grave
issue. 1t is believed that representa-
tons will be made to the sultan per-
sonally to induce modification OF
these terms, but it is foreseen that this
will be very difficult, owing to the atti-
tude of the powerful Turkish war
party. j..
If the porte should prove obdurate a
European conference is not improbable,
although at present Russia is opposed
to this.
Opposed to Retrocession of Tbessaly.
1t is regarded as quite certain that
the powers will not consent to Il retro.
cession of Thessaly. Even Germany is
believed to be resolute on this point.
because it would involve violation of
the Berlin treaty and imperil the peace
of the Balkans.
Altogether the reply of the porte has
caused the greatest surprise. II ap.
pears that during the discussion of the
note from the powers by the council of
the sultans ministers, news reached
the council that 5000 Greeks had
landed at Palona and wero marching
to Janinn with the intention of CO.
operating with other forces from Arta.
This created bad impression among
the ministers.

Indian warriors, veterans of tho IL

lying. He hates only two kinds of people.

with them, and never fails to show his

meant by that was that the general. in

INGALLS, SPOTTED DOG.
His Owner Turned the Laugh on Gen.
Grant.


General Horace Porter. in his Cam
paigning with Grant" in the Century. re-
lates the following anecdote:
General ingalls, had just returned from n
trip to Washington. and brought with him
an English spotted coach dog, which fol-
lowed him everywhere through camp, and
attracted no end of attention. A dog OF
any kind was rather an unusual sight I'm an
army in the field. and an animal of the pc
cuiar marks and aristocratic bearing of
ingalls, companion excited widespread re-
mark. Every time the dog came to head
quarters General Grant was certain TO
comment upon the animal, and perpetratc
some good-natured joke at the expense of
his classmate. The dog followed the usual
canine custom, and expressed his feelings
by an agitation of his caudal appcndagc.
To describe his actions astronomically, il
may be said that he indicated anger by i'm
parting to his tail a series of longitudinal
vibra tons, and pleasure by giving II gen.
tie motion in azimuth"-familiarly known
wag.
One evening. as the general was sitting
in front of his quarters Ingalls, came up to
have a chat with him. and was followed by
the dog, which sat down in the usual place
at its masters feet The ANIMAL squatted
upon its hind quarters, licked its chops,
pricked up its ears, and looked first at one
officer and then at the other. as If to say:
Il am General Ingalls, dog: whose pup are
your In the course Of his remarks Cen
eral Grant took look at the animal, and
said: We'll. ingalls,. what are your real
intentions in regard to that dog? Do you
expect to take 1t into Richmond with you?"
ingalls,, who was noted for his dry humor.
replied with mock seriousness and an air
of extreme patience: Il hope to; 1t is said
to come from a long-lived breed" This
retort, coupled with the comical attitude of
the dog at the time, turned the laugh upon
the general, who Joined heartily i'm the
n,erriment. and seemed to enjoy the joke
as much as any of the party.
