this country was made Wednesday
from New York city, when the govern
ment by an agent sent by the agricul-
tural department shipped three.fourths
of ton of selected Nutter for sale in
Europe The result of this experiment
is of great importance to the agrlcul-
tural interests, as it is the first step in
an effort of the administration to ex-
tend materially the market for Ameri-
can butter, and gain some of the trade
with Great Britain in particular, which
Denmark now practically controls
with considerable profit. An incl
dental object is to determine what
improvements are needed in the trans.

now being sent abroad by private firms
but it is alleged to be of inferior grade
Unsatisfactory storage in crossing the
ocean and carelessness in leaving the
shipments on uncovered docks at
Southampton, before being loaded into

Constantinople. May 1.-THE porte
has replied officially to the note Of the
powers. and declines to agree to an
armistice until the following conditions
are accepted: The annexation of Thes-
sally, an indemnity OF E10,O00,0 ,0G0 Turk
fsh and the abolition of the capitula-
tions. The porte proposes that the
plenipotentaries Of the powers should
meet at Pharsalos to discuss the terms
Of peace. and declares that If these
conditions are declined the Turkish
army will continue to advance. The
demand for the annexation Of Thessaly
Is based upon the fact that the pro-
vince was originally ceded to Greece
on the advice of the powers with the OBJ
5ect of ending brigandage and Greek
tncursions into Ottoman territory, the
porte believing at the time that the ces-
sion 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 yesterday to
consider the porte's answer, which is
regarded as raising an extremely grave
issue. 1t Ia believed that representa-
items will be made to the sultan person.
ally to induce a modification of these
terms, but it Is foreseen that this will
be very difficult, owing to the attitude
of the powerful "Old Turk war party.
If the porte should prove obdurate a
European conference is not improbable,
although at present Russia is opposed
to this. 1t is regarded as quite certain
that the powers will not consent to a
retrocession Of Thessaly. Even Ger
many is believed to be resolute on this
point, because it would involve a vio-
lation Of the Berlin treaty and imperil
the peace Of the Balkans. Altogether
the reply Of the porte has caused the
the greatest surprise.
Turks Claim the Best Of the Fighting.
Official dispatches have been received
from the commandant at Janina, who
says that a division Of the Greek forces
approaching the town by a narrow
gorge from the direction Of Gremenitza,
charged the heights of Greiboro and
Kokonaria, but suffered heavily, losing
200 killed, while on the other side the
Greeks were driven back upon
Paraskevi. The commandant states
also that fighting has occurred at
Kumuzades. No further details are
given, except that all these battles last
ed until evening, and that the imperial
troops retained their position. The
Turkish commander at Luros rele-
graphs under Saturdays date as fol-
lows: "The outcome Of desperate
battle lasting two days against a force
of $4,000 Greeks is that the latter have
abandoned the position on the heights
they had previously captured and have
Withdrawn to the olive groves Of
Gremenitza."

To the Senate and House OF Repre-.

needs Of their own people, and al
together powerless to help our

General Lee estimates that 600 to

vision would be made at once to re-

under the direction of the secretary

TERMS CALLED "PREposrERoUs.



London, May 1.-THE preposterous
terms proposed by the porte must be re-
garded as the natural ard usual method
of Oriental bargaining. They would not
be serious did they not force a continu-
ance OF the fighting. With the failure
of the Greek dash into Epirus there isno
chance to make a further stand unless
at Thermopylae, which, by virtue of its
natural conditions, is an immensely
strong position from which the Turks
would have the greatest difficulty in
dislodging the Greeks. At Domokos the
Greek troops must be suffering severely
from the heavy rains, as they have no
tents.
The capture or evacuation Of the town
is only a question Of few days. The
Turks have been seen at the passes east
and west Of Domokos, and General
Smolenski has warned the crown prince
to expect an attack. The weakness of
the Greek position is in the great extent
of the line. The news Of the retreat in
Epirus serves to still further demoralize
the troops in Thessaly. AS to the terms
on which peace will finally be declared.
the general belief in official circles is
that they will be settled by European
conferences.
The Times correspondent at Athens
says: To-day (Sunday] NJ. Ralli, the
premier, visited the various legations
and obtained assurances that the DOW
ers would undertake to prevent any Of
fensive action on the part Of the Turks
providing the Greek forces maintained
a strictly defensive attitude. On this
understanding he Immediately wired to
the commanders Of the three Greek
divisions at Domokos, Sourpi and Arta,
instructing them to abstain from all
hostile action unless attacked by the
| enemy. The only Greek force now on
| Turkish territory is the band of Epirote
volunteers led by Botzaris, which land
/ ed at Prevesa and advanced along the
banks Of the Louros. This force will
now proceed westward along the coast,
where it will be taken OF by the Greek
| fleet
| THE losses at Griboro were the
heaviest since the beginning Of the war.
Seven officers were killed. I learn that
the advance was due to Colonel Manos,
who desired to regain the Greek army's
lost prestige. The government consid-
cred his plan a very hazardous one. but
finally consented. The fierceness Of the
lighting at Griboro requiring reinforce
ments, he was compelled to abandon
the original plan. and probably all have
now returned to Arta."
