The consuls are also under orders to

evory reason to bellows that the next
move made by President Mckinley
will be in the direction Of arording re-
lief to those non-combatants. The adj
m~inistration's policy will be developed
along this line, and there is no proba'
bility that the President will sign the

The Republican, OF the House pro-
pose to get over the blockade of the

stantinc:
Our right wing. under Colonel Mas.
trapas, has been compelled to retreat.
1t still holds Voussi. but may find IL

1t was necessary to bring up all tho

attacks Of the enemy. The conduct OF
the army was praiseworthy."
The Daily Chronicles correspondent
at Athens sends the following official
account OF the fighting:
"Over $4,000 Turks simultaneously
and continuously attacked our whole
line. Our artillery and infantry did
splendid work. Twics all the rcxi,
ments of the enemy wavcred and fled.
though their attack was soon renewed
with fresh forces, which in turn VIZ
were able to hurl back.
THE stubborn resistance and SPLEEN

PEELED the enemy to give way alto,

were similarly repulsed.
ION our right we did not fare ST.
well. The first attack of the enemy
was repulsed, but they massed in inn.
tense forces for the next attack. Our
first line wavcred and was broL en-,
and the wing would have been turned
but for the timely arrival Of tho
reserves.
"Still the enemy had gained ground
which 1t was then impossible to re.
gain, and we, therefore, fell back Oh
Bousi.
"The Turks mad 5000 troops, with
$4,000 reserves. Our force was only
$4,000. We have lost heavily. but tho
enemy must have lost t~housands."

Changes In Civil Service System Probable
Urged BY the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, May 10. - President
Mckinley and members of his cabinet
have had several protracted discussions
respecting the proposed modification
Of the civil service rules and especially
regarding the extensions made during
the last year Of Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration. 1t is known that MIR.
Mckinley Is extremely reluctant to
make any move which would seem
like q step backward in civil service
reform. At the same time he Is being
strongly urged by members Of his cabi-
net to permit notifications Of the last
order, which will allow the choice by
heads OF departments of officers hold
ing confidential positions, both in
Washington and under bonded officers
elsewhere. II is likely that some
changes will shortly be announced,
but their character and scope has not
yet been decided upon.

MASON RIVALS MORGAN
Tho Now Illinois senator Makes .
Lively speech for Cuba.

WASHINGTON, May {. --The Morgan
Cuban resolution was taken up in tho
Senate at 2 o'clock this afternoon. and
Mr.. Mason OF Illinois spoke in its sup.
port. He read President McKinlcy'i
message to prove that n state OF wac
existed in Cuba. He referred to Scna.
tor Wellington's reference to thu
United States indebtcdnes So TO England
md said he acknowledged the iudebt.
cdncss. THANK God" he exclaimed,
''we settled q small part OF it at Bun.
ker Hill Another part Of it we settled
here in the Senate two weeks ago"
This latter remark was directed at tho
defeat of the arbitration treaty, and
was the FIRST public reference to 1t in
the Senate.
Mr.. Mason said that this country
was so considerable Of the feclings o.
the Spanish minister as to be willing
to hum late American citiz.n in
Cuba by making them the subjects OF
charity. whether the United States
shall int 'rfcre or not" he said, "un.
der the providence of God Cuba shall
be free and there shall be NO slaves Cd
tho hemisphere"
Mr.. Mason had an extract from q
newspaper letter written by Carl
Decker read, and in reply to a ques.
ton by Mr.. Wellington said that it
was necessary TO take the best infor-
nation obtainablc.
Mr.. Wellington said that Cuba's was
q government on paper, and Mr.. Ma.
son retorted:
"As good a government as was be-
hind Washington at Valley Forge"
Mr.. Wellington replied with some
warmth saying that he would not per-
init himself to be misreprcsented or
American history falsifed.
Mr.. Mason stood by his original
proposition, saying that without La
fayctte's aid Washington's government
was not worth q continental damn"
What the United States should do
would be to give TO Cuba what Lafay-
cite gave to Washington. During the
last campaign he had felt the pulse of
thousands of people and was satisfied
there was q deep general interest
among the people in the interest of
Cuban freedom. Hc was for Cuba, not
for commercial reasons or for the &C.
QUESTION Of territory, after the Eng.
lish fashion, but for better reasons.
He predicted that this country would
yet develop q Lafayette for Cuba.
