government SEM ORDERS 20 the creek IN
the Gulf of Ambracia TO lombard Pre-
vesa. Consequently the bombardment
of Prevesa commenced at 8 O'Clock this
morning, and continues as this dispatch
is sent. Prevesa, which is in Epirus,
and IL miles from Arta, is strongly fort
flied.
The Turkish minister here, Assim
Bey, has asked for his passports and
they have been handed him and he has
left Athens for Constantinople. The
German minister at Athens, Baron Won
Plesson, has undertaken to protect
Turkish interests in Greece during the
severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries. The Greek
minister at Constantinople, Prince
Matrocordato, has been recalled.
The streets are crowded with people
eagerly discussing the outbreak of war
and the probable outcome. The gem
eral feeling is one of satisfaction at the
relief from the irritating tension of the
past few weeks which had gradually
become almost uncomfortable and which
is ended at last by overt acts, il is
claimed here upon the part of Turkey.
The Greeks hold that it was an at
tempt upon the part of the Turkish
forces to occupy a strategic position near
n cunt Analpisis. not far from Nezeros,
In the neutral zone, which led to the
encounter ON Friday between the
Greeks and Turks. This, it is added,
was used at Constantinople as reason
|, for ordering Edhem Pasha, the Turkish
commander in-chief, to assume the Of
fensive and led to the rupture Of diplo-
matte relations between the countries.
The so-called outrage of Prevesa Sun
day morning, when the Turkish batter
les there sank the Greek steamer Mace
donia, further justified Greece, in the
minds of the Athenians, in waging war
to the death against Turkey. The Greek
govern, therefore, Is warmly commend
ed for recalling the Greek minister at
Constantinople and not waiting, ac-
cording to she Greek version, until
Prince Maurocordato was handed his
passports.
1t is stated in some quarters that AS
sim Bey, the Turkish minister to Greece,
did not wait for his passports to be
handed TO him but, so soon as he re-
ceived the sum of 5000 francs, tele-
graphed to him from Constantinople
through the Athenian bank for travel
ing expenses, ETC.. he hastily quilted this
city.

of ministers have declared that war has
broken out, and have ordered Edhem
Pasha, Turkish military commander, o
take the offensive.
A detailed circular sent to the Turk
ish representatives abroad recalls the
weeks invasions, and states that the
newest incursion was participated in by
the Greek troops, which, therefore, es-
tablishes war. The circular expresses
the hope that the powers in a spirit OF
justice will agree that the entire re-
sponsibility for the war falls on Greece.
Turkey has no idea of conquest, and as
fresh proof of pacific sentiments offers
to retire the Turkish troops on the from

Tewfik Pasha. the Turkish minister
for foreign affairs, visited the foreign

that the Turkish frontier had been
crossed on Friday night by fresh bands
of Greeks, among whom were a number
of Greek regulars. 1t was this news

tate, George Harris, who is an Ameri-

MAS. eLIzAserA Triton DEAD.
Her Demise Kept From the Public Almost
Up TO the Time of Burial.


New YoP-y, April l6.-Mrs. Elizabeth
r. Tilton, the wife of Henry Ward
Beecher's accuser. died on Tuesday last
at her home in Brooklyn. The news of
her death was not made public until
yesterday. Since the famous Beecher
trial she had lived in strict retirement.
In recent years she had shared her
home with her widowed daughter.
Even the fact of her death was kept
secret, and there are no external signs
of mourning about the house where her
body lies.
1neouore Tilton, her husband, is in
Paris, where he has lived ever since the
Beecher trial.
For a long time Mrs. Tilton was al.
most totally blind, but less than year
ago she underwent difficult operation
and regained her sight. Then, about
month ago, she suffered paralytic
stroke, from which she was slowly re-
covering when, in the latter part of last
week, she was again stricken.
The funeral services were held last
night. Few were admitted to the house.
Malachi Exeter, preacher of the Ply
mouth Brethren, to which sect Mrs.
Tilton balonged, officiated. The inter-
ment took place today.

Relative Strength of the Two Armies
About to Meet Each Other.
WASHINGTON, April 19-The Turkish
minister here has received a cablegram
from the Turkish minister of foreign
affairs at Constantinople confirming the
dispatches that Turkey has broken off
all diplomatic relations with Greece and
has instructed the Turkish commander
in-chlef to protect Turkish interests ON
the frontier. When seen at the legation
the minister. in reply to a question,
made the following statement:
1.-THE Greek troops having contrary to
the rights of nations crossed the boun-
diaries at several points and opened hos
tilities without any provocation, and the
relations between the two countries be-
ing thus broken, the commander-in-
chief on the frontier has been ordered
TO take all necessary steps for the de-
Tense of the rights of the Ottoman gov
eminent and her territory. The Turk
ish minister at Athens and all Ottoman
agents in Greece have been recalled.
The representative of Greece at Con-
stantinople and all the Greek consuls in
Turkey have been requested to with
draw"
The army of Greece is small when
compared with that of Turkey, but is in
better fighting shape, The total peace
strength of the Greek army is estimated
at $4,000 men, as follows: Infantry.
II, 700; cavalry, 1916 artillery, 1920;
engineers, ETC., 1924. In the first re-
serve there are $1,000 men, and the en-
tire reserve numbers l04, 500 men of all
arms. This makes a total strength of
126,500 men. But. in addition to this,
there is what is known as the territorial
army, or second reserve, which has
146, 900 men. With all of these troops
modified Greece could put a total force
of 272, 900 men in the field.
The Greek army is much weaker than
that of Turkey in artillery, but is as
strong or stronger in cavalry, and all
her troops VII h.ht with desneration.
aided by the peasantry, now being rap
idly formed into battalions.
The Turkish government declares that
the effective combatant strength of its
army, including the reserve, is 200, 800
men, comprising 5S3, 200 infantry, 90, 800
cavalry, "a, 720 artillery and 400 engi-
neers.
This seems large army, but the num-
Der of men which could be sent to fight
the Greeks in Crete and on the Macedo-
Mon and Albanian frontiers would be
scarcely half of that; for from the ag-
gregate must be deducted 80 battalions
of heavy artillery required to man the
coast Notifications and the big garrisons
which the sultan is obliged 10 keep in
Constantinople, Jerusalem and all large
cities of his domains, both in European
and Asiatic Turkey. In fact, so far the
snltan has ordered only $4,000 soldiers

HAVANA, April 19.-As a result of
the reconnoitering and fighting. which
has recently taken place, Captain Gen.
eral Weyler infers that it can be con-
sidered that the province of Santa Clara
and part of the province of Puerto Prin-
cipe, west of the military line, have
been pacified. He says he does not care
whether Maxine Gomez and Quintin
Bandera remain or do not remain on
the other side of the military line, as
both of them, if they fail to cross, are
likely to be surprised and captured at
any moment, as was the case with Ruis
Rivera and Eacalloo Then again, he
says, the presence of Gomez and Ban
dera in Santa Cara means nothing, as
they have neither men nor resources
with which to do any serious harm.
Based OH this outlook the captain gen
eral said that he was not asking for re-
Inducements nor for substitutes to take
the place of losses.
During number of skirmishes which
have taken place recently in the differ
ent provinces the insurgents have lost
1902 men killed, including Leoncio Lam
adrid, the insurgent governor of Ma
tanzas, and three officers. The troops
also captured "a prisoners, and the in
surgents retired in every case, taking
with them number of wounded.
These, of course, are the official reports
They add that 10 armed insurgents,
including Captain Carlos Delgado have,
surrendered to the Spanish authorities
at Matanzas.
Finally the Official reports say that in
these engagements the government
forces only lost two men killed and had

Turks Have Entered Greek Territory.
CoNsTANTINoPEE, April 19.-The porte
has received a dispatch from Edhem
Pasha, the Turkish communicative chief
at Elassona, dated Saturday, saying that
in consequence of an invasion of Turk
ish territory by the Greeks, his troops
have seized the heights Of Perner and
Velschko. The fourth division, from
Elassona, under Haida Pasha, and full
brigade, under Nam Pasha, have en-
tered Greek territory.
