CHICAGO, ILL, March Five hun
dred Greeks in this City are eager to
respond to the call to arms issued yester-
day bv NJ. Skouzes, Greek Minister of For
eign Affairs. A mass meeting was held IN
the Greek Church this afternoon, at which
fiery speeches were made. Father Fiam-
bolis, who two weeks ago stirred the
Greeks OF this city by an eloquent appeal
in behalf of their fatherIand, presided at
to-day's meeting. He told his country
men that it was first necessary to get
money. as lack of means stood in their
way. Yesterday a telegram was sent to
the ConsuLGeneral in New York concern
ing the matter of funds, but no reply has
been received.
The Greek headquarters on Dearborn
street was swarming with the Hellenes to-
night, who are anxious to leave at once to
enter, into the fight against the Turks.
Two hundred and fifty have already en-
listed and stand In readiness to leave at a
days notice if the necessary funds can be
cured. Many are able and willing to
pay their own way TO Greece. but the
great ajority are without money.
II is asserted that an army of 500 will
leave this city alone if the perplexin g
problem of funds can be overcome.

ABOUT TO ATTACK BRITISH BATTLE

When Vondergoltz Pasha, the German
-eneral who was lent to the Sultan, or
ganized the present Turkish army, left
the Turkish service, it was understood
that he was thoroughly oisgusted
with the way things were going, and that
the severance of his relations with the
Turkish military department was ap-
proved by the German Emperor The
Sultan has paid so high tribute to the
services OF Vondergoltz that he mas re-
Gently besought him to resume his posi-
tion, assuring him that he would be the
virtual com mmander-in- chief of the Otto
man army. The German Pasha declined
to return, but in reply to the Sultan's in
vltation he has sent plan of operations
to oe put into force upon the Greek
frontier, based upon his profound knowl-
edge OF the conai aitions under which a cam
paign against Greece must be conducted.
As Vondergoltz Pasha when he severed
mis- connection with the Turkish military
administration occupied the position of
second chief of the general staff of the

BALTIMORE, Nd, March THE huge
steel fish with lungs OF bronze and cleo
tricity in its fins and tail, which is to be
launched in this city in few days, will
spit from its mouth while under water a
torpedo which will tear a hole in man-of-
wars bottom, or she can ram the enemy
with a stout fin she carries on her back.
She can see and breathe while under the
water. This new engine of destruction
can run on the surface of the sea at a
greater speed than most vessels; she can
hide herself and move along under the
water at any depth from an inch to seventy
feet, or can lay, if necessary, on the bot
tom for days. 1t is next to impossible to
sink this mechanical diver or drown her
crew. This S5-foot fish has a body shaped
like cigar. 1t is II feet inches in width
and depth. The hull has an inner and an
outer skin and on the back of the craft
there is an armored turret.
This realization of ules Verne's dream
of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the
Sea- is best described by sending her
forth to fight an imaginary battle with
the English battie-ship Royal Sovereign.
The tiny submarine is manned by but ten
men and cost but $i50,000 She weighs
only 13S tons. The Royal Sovereign car
ries crew of 500 men and cost 81 ,O00. 900.
The Britisher weighs 14,000 tons. Little
David has five torpedoes, while Goliath
carries four l3-inch guns, ten 6-inch guns
and twenty eight rapid-tire guns about
her decks. About her sides is an armor
belt Is inches in thickness. She is float
ing fortress $50 feet in length and rs feet
III width. The submarine is lying in the
harbor of some great sea coast city when
news is received that the British battle
ship is approaching the coast with the in
tention OF bombarding the place and lay
ing tribute upon the inhabitants. The
petroleum fires under the boiler of the lite
tie fighter are lighted-she does not burn
coal-and steam is up in jiffy. She is
soon steaming out of port with two sets of
ouadruple engines backed by 1925 horse
power, sending her skimming along the
surface at sixteen-knot gait to meet the
dreaded thunderer from abroad.
Far out across the water there is puff
of white smoke, a flash of red fire ana the
boom Of a cannon comes in from the sea.
The Britisher has seen the little American
and has cleared his ship for action. The
shot dropped just ahead of the torpedo
boat. She was not yet within range OF

forces, the Mustafuz, CORES spondfng to the
German landsturm or second draft of
those liable to military duty, have been
called to arms in several districts near
the Greek borders. The ostensible reason
for summoning this contingent is that
the ordinary rediffs or reserves which
were lately called out have been deficient
in mum bers, but the summoning of any
part of the Mustafuz is regarded as omi-
nous of the Sultan's expectations that
something of very serious nature is i'm
minent.
The attitude of Servia and Bulgaria &C.
cupies the serious attention of European
diplomacy, and it is the opinion in official
circles here that the conferences which
have taken place between King Alexander
of Servia and Prince Ferdinand of Bull
garia lave resulted in an agreement to
make sim ultaneous attack upon Turkey
when the time Tor such action shall seem
opportune.
Ronmania is looked upon as having the
intention TO take an active part in any
scheme OF rearranging the Balkan boun-
daries that may be put into operation.
King Charles of Roumania, as a mem ber
of the Prussian family OF Hohenzollern,
may be relied upon to have the support Of
Germany. In view of eventualities the
works at Kustendjie. on the Black Sea,
and the deienses at Gallatz and Braille, on
the Danube, are being strengthened and
extended.

Il CANEA. CRETE, March Tt is believed
We're that the reply of Greece to the de-
mands OF the powers will be positive re-
fusal TO obey and that bloody struggle
i, therefore, inevita bic unless the powers
recede from their position. 1t is known
that colonel Vassos, the commander OF
the Greek army of occupation, has re-
ceived instructions from King George to
hold all the posts in the island nov occu-
pied by the Greek troops and 10 resist to
the bitter end any atlemp to dislodge
him. The information reaches here that
the Greek troops are enthusiastic over the
determination of their King not to order
their withdrawal from The island, and it
is believed it will take far stronger force
than their own to dislodge them from the
stragetic positions they occupy. The
events OF the next few days are anxiously
awaited
Last night the insurgents who are be-
sieging the blockhouse at MaIaxa. made
an attempt 10 blow up the place with
dynamite, but were frustrated by the
vigilance of the Mo,lem defenders. For
several hours after the failure of the at
tempt there was lively tusillade, but the
result is not known here.
A similar attempt was made on the
fort at Keratini. and here the insurgents
were more successful. Ihe explosion
made a breach III the walls of the fort,
killing four Turks and wounding many
eotbers. The Turks, though brave fighters,
have been made very nervous by he use
of dynamite by the insurgents, this being

the door open for further negotiations.
though she will not accept the conditions
laid down by the powers.
The paper gives discursively the prob
able terms of the reply, which are similar
to those contained in the dispatch to the
Central News.
Constantinople dispatch to the Daily
News says it is understood that Greece is
willing to withdraw her fleet from Cretan
waters, but suggests that her troops remain
on the island to assist in restoring order.
CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, March I.
The diplomats here have received the
answer of the Porte to the collective note,
presented on Tuesday last, setting forth
the desires of the powers regarding the
granting of autonomy to Crete under the
suzerainty of Turkey. The Porte assents
to the terms OF the powers, and says il will
be definite understanding between itself
and the powers respec ing the details OF
the autonomy to be granted.
The reply bears out the statement of the
United Associated Presses that the Sultan
is rather glad than otherwise to have the
long Cretan question settled, even though
he loses the island.
While a number of Greek engineers
were engaged in repairing the main road
near MeInn, on the Greek frontier, pre-
sumably for the purpose OF facilitating the
passage OF troops, they were stopped by
body of turkish troops. A rumor reached
here to-day that serious encounter be-
tween Turks and Greeks had taken place
on the frontier, but though inquiries have
been made it has been impossible to con-
firm the story. 1t is thought very prob
ably. that tie report originated in the
stoppage by Turkish troops of the work of
the Greek engineers a; Melun.

1t will recall that Greece in 1896 in de-

influence with the Cretans to induce them
to accept reforms by Turkey. 1t will
point out that the continued unsettled
state OF the island is proof of the fulfill
ties of reform.
With regard TO the autonomy of the
island, the reply will state that it is for the
rretans to decide whether they will accept
it or not.

powers are nowise agreed among them

omous administration of the affairs of the
island of Crete, nor are they in concert of
opinion as to how far Turkey shall be al
lowed ito provoke war in the Balkan PEN

Under the pretext OF self-defcnse the

no European Government would venture
upon without the backing of plethoric

military operations was manifested in the
case of the Turko- Russian war of 1857.

War, it will DE seen that his advice has no

which the Porte has andertaken within
the last month or two. Moreover, the
German officers who are still serving in
the Turkish army are known to be fully
capable of carrying Vondergoltz's plans
into effect, and the fact that many of the
important commands OF the Thessalian
frontier are now in the hanis OF German
officers may thus be accounted for.

HOW THE STATE LAW WORKS.

City Collector Max Sutor this morn
ing stopped his forced tax sale of city
property, homesteads and otherwise
before the County courthouse door, as
soon as he found that three represent
atives of Chicago capitalists were pres
ent and had been bidding in the home
steads and properties of the poor peo-
pie under protection of the recently
passed state law which protects the
purchaser who is delinquent in pay
ment of taxes.
Max will consult City Attorney Min
or before he resumes his sales, to learn
if there is not some way to give the
poor people who are delinquent, some
little protection from the foreign money
sharps and grabbers.
One hundred and forty-three pieces
were bid in by them this morning.
