Resulted in a PANIC.

Havana, May 1.-THE decision OF
the government against the exchang-
ing of the bank bills for silver coin has
caused a panic. Prices of bread, milk
and other necessaries of life have
doubled within the past few days. The
working classes, as well as all govern
ment employees, both civil and military
openly express their dissatisfaction
with the action of the government in
paying them in scrip which is 90 per
cent below par 1t is believed that the
government will no longer accept pa
per money in payment of taxes. In
that event a further depreciation of
the paper money may be expected.

TURKEY is CRAFTY.
EVADES COMPLIANCE WITH RE-
QUESTS OF THE POWERS.
The Porte Delays Answer to the Powers
Request for an Ar nistice-Demands
Cessation of Thessaly and
Heavy Indemnity.

Constantinople, May l7.-The porte
has replied officially to the note of tn,
powers and declines to agree to an
armistice until the following condi.
tions are accepted:
The annexation Of Thessaly, an in.
demnity of go. 600, 600 Turkish and the
abolition of the capitulations. The
porte proposes that plenipotentiaries of
the powers shall meet at Pharsala TO
discuss the terms of peace, and declare
that if these conditions are declined
the Turkish army will continue to adj
vance
The demand for the annexati ton of
1hessaly is based on the fact that the
province was originally ceded to Greece
on the advice Of the powers with the
object OF ending brigandage and Greek
incursions into Ottoman territory. the
porte believing at that time that the
cession would attain these objects, but
the recent incursions of Greek bands
and the events Immediately preceding
the war have proved TO the contrary.
This is the substance of the reply.
The ambassadors met today to con-
slider the porte's answer, which is re-
garded as raising an extremely grave
issue. 1t is believed that representa-
tions will be made TO the sultan per-
sonally to induce a modification of
these terms, but it is foreseen that this
will be very difficult, owing to the at
titude of the powerful Old Turk war
party.
If the porte should prove obdurate
European conference is not improba-
bic, although at present Russia is OPP
'osed TO this. 1t is regarded as quite
certain the powers will not consent to
recession of Thessaly. Even Ger
many is believed to be resolute on this
'oint, because it would involve a VIC
alton of the Berlin treaty and imperil
he peace.

STOCKMEN IN TROUBLE.
News of Stockmen's War in the Big
Horn Basin.

News of Stockmen's War in the Big
Horn Basin.
Cheyenne, Wyo,, May 14.-News has
reached here of big stockmen's war
in the big Horn basin. An effort was
recently made to amicably divide the
range between sheep and cattle-grow-
ere which failed. Sixteen mounted cat
tlemen forcibly drove the foreman of
J. d. Woodruff, a big floekmaster of
Lander, from the country where his
sheep were ranging, and moved his
camp twelve miles.
The cattlemen asserted that sheep
herders had been killing cattle for
coyote bait. Mr.. Woodruff was in Cas-
per when the news reached there and
at once took rife and started for the
scene of trouble. He will arm his herd
ers and proposes to keep his sheep on
the range without regard to conse-
Quences.

Louisville, Colo. May ia mob OF
400 miners marched to the Rex mine,
gave Superintendent Hutchinson a Sc

prevailed and the mob dispersed. The

than the coal can be put ON the cars
by any other mine in the district. 1t is

Berlin, May During the past
week a definite understanding was per-
fected by which the cabinets of Ger
many, France and Russia will soon
reach the solution of the Egypt and
Transvaal questions and this will be
done Systematically in an anti-British
sense. AS soon as the Graeco-Turkish
trouble is settled, this subject will be
jointly taken up unless Great Britain
in the meanwhile precipitates matters,
in which case she will encounter the
united open hostility of the three con-
tinental powers The ultimate object
Of the agreement is to force the evacu-
ton of Egypt and the notification of
the Pretoria convention in 1886. France,
in the settlement of the peace condi-
tions with Greece, win persistently side
with Russia and Germany in spite of
the strong current of public opinion to
the contrary.

MISSIONARY KNAPP's CASE.
Minister Terrell Asserts He was Not Eek
PEELED, But Ran Away.

Washington, May Ex-senator Mills
has received a letter from Minister
Terrell, who says that all the talk OF
the Turks expelling Missionary Knapp
from Turkey is untrue Mr. Terrell
says Knapp was frightened into leav-
ing his post at Bitlis, near the Russian
border. He was told that the Turks
could not protect him against the
Kurds. Armenian Christians accused
him of exciting revolution. The porte
wanted him to remain in Turkey, but
at different post. When Knapp left
Bitlis, Secretary Olney demanded that
he should be escorted back, but it was
not done because the missionary lead
ers at Constantinople feared he would
be killed if sent back, and he remained
in Constantinople until September last,
when he left that place for Germany.
Mr.. Terrell says Knapp can return tc
Turkey when he pleases.

Laws Ever Placed on Statute Books.
Frankfort. Ky, May 14.-Turnpike
raids, murder from ambush. mob lynch
ing in Kentucky, especially the def
ant continuation of the raiders, have
driven the legislature to desperate

statute books. 1t requires jailers and
other officers holding persons threat
ened with mob violence to arm the
prisoner, that he may defend himself.
and to protect the prisoners with the
aid of a posse. 1t makes it mandatory
upon the county Judge to furnish not
less than ten armed guards, sum
moned from among citizens, who are
under heavy penalty to pro-
tect for thirty days any toll-gate or
other public or private property
