SHE WILL HEAR THE HAVANA
TOBACCO MERCHANTS
STORY. HOWEVER,
And Should She Find The American
Exporters At Fault Will Stop
The Expectation Of Cuban
Tobacco Other Cuban
News Items.

New York, May IA dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
Some of the Madrid papers comment
with anxiety regarding the mission of
w. ]. Calhoun in Cuba and the declar-
alton of Senator Foraker concerning
the intention of President Mckinley
to reserve an expression of opinion on
Cuban affairs until he receives ex-
plicit information from a reliable
source.
on the other hand it is said in Off
cial circles in Madrid that the Spanish
minister in Washington reports that
the relations between the United
States and the Spanish government
were never more cordial or the dispo-
sition of the American government
more friendly.
representative of the tobacco man
ufacturers of Havana has laid before
the minister of foreign affairs here
protest against permission being
granted Americans to export tobacco
from Cuba by virtue of the alleged
contract made before Gen. Weyler pro-
hibited all exports of tobacco except
that destined for Spain.
The Duke of Tetuan said the govern
ment was disposed to receive and duly
examine the evidence offered by the
Havana manufacturers with the un-
Outstanding that if is were as convinc-
ing and precise as claimed the pretan-
sions of the American exporters would
not be admitted.
The minister added that he felt con-
WINGED that the American government
would not back up the claims of the
American exporters if their preten-
sions proved to be unfoun6ed as both
governments aimed only at settling
the point according to existing treat
les and international usage.

TURKEYS DACNONS.
She Would Make Greece
Surrender Her Navy.
DEMANDS 1T AS A WAR NDEM-
NIFTY FROM THE BRAVE
LITTLE NATION.
England Does Not Approve Of 1t As
She Thinks It Would Only Be
Equal To Adding 70 PrHS-
Sia'S Mediterranean Ma
val Strength.

New York, May IA special to the
World from London says:
The apparently authentic statement
that Turkey intends to demand the
ceding of the Greek fleet as an essen
tial condition of peace, is eagerly dis
cussed here both by the press and the
politicians. 1t is conceded that if
Turkey gets the Greek ships it will be
equivalent to handing them over to
Russia, thus upsetting the balance of
the naval power in the Mediterranean.
Sir Charles Dixie said to a World
reporter who saw him in the House of
Commons: IF Turkey gets the Greek
fleets it will be tantamount to taking
it's value in money from Greece, thus
further embarrassing her, but with no
corresponding naval advantage to Tur-
key for the sultan will allow the ships
to go to ruin in three or four years
when they will be of no further use to
any power.
Il am intensely Hellenophile and
hate to even think of the suffering
Greece will undergo by reason of the
Turkish evacIfatiOns-
THE moral effect on Europe of the
subjugation of Greece, l regard as
ruinous, and especially damaging to
British interests. Greece is the only
country in Eastern Europe in complete
sympathy with our western ideas of
civilization and progress and the only
one which was at all likely to assist
England were eastern complications
to arise.
Ao g., IL, 10.
gallantly inspired struggle and as 1
have said the moral effect of her fail
ure is certain to make itself felt in
juriously in the future developments
of the eastern question"
Sir Charles Dixie expressed these
views with impressive earnestness.
The World representative next saw
Mr.. James O'Kelly, NJ. P, a close stu
dent of foreign politics, who expressed
precisely the same views. He said:
IF the Powers allow Turkey to de-
prize Greece of her fleet it will be a
grievous, almost an irreparable loss to
Greece; but the ships won't be worth
a six-pence in a year as they will be
totally neglected by the sultan's gov
eminent"
Several Liberal members with whom
the World representative spoke, declin-
ed to believe that the Powers will per-.
NIT Turkey to inflict such a great hui
initiation upon Greece. Some thought
the Greek commanders would be justi-
fed in sinking their ships rather than
surrendering them.
The feeling of the government mini
tiers in that Greece can expect no mer-
cy and should be profoundly thankful
for any terms the Powers may sue
coed in obtaining for her from her
cOnquerOr This spirit is reflected in
the conservative press which has now
nothing but derision for Greece and
unqualified condemnation of her action
from first to last.

SENATE BOASTS HOUSE.
REPRESENTATIVES MUST NOT RE-
TARD LEGISLATION FOR SALARY
If So Will Have To Legislate On Empty
POckets-GovernOr Guards Supreme
Courts Reports Plates.

Austin, Tex, May 14.-Special-There
was another futile attempt made in
the House this morning to take up
the text book bill.
The House granted the request of
the Senate for new free conference
committee on the fee bill.
The general game bill, as adopted by
the State Game association was passed
finally.
The Senate took a turn at the House
today, charging. the members of the
House with inactivity and inability to
legislate. The cause of the roast was
the passage of the House bill appro-
priating an additional $4,000 per diem
for the present session. The bill was
finally laid on the table subject to call
with the admonition to the House that
if they desired to retard legislation
they could do so on empty pockets.
The governor this morning sent to
the Senate veto message vetoing the
bill leasing to H. p. n. Gadmel of Aus
tin, the stereOtyped plates of the Su-
preme court reports from volumes 70
to 50. on the grounds that the state
should not lose possession of these
plates under any circumstances, and
further that the state would not only
not secure any revenue from such a
loan, but would assist in creating a
monopoly of which the state should not
be a party.

PREPARING FOR A BIG FIGHT.

Athens, May 14.-Advices received
today from headquarters of the Greek
army at Domokos, announces that the
Turkish forces are in execution of
movements which are believed to fore
shadow an attack upon the Greek po-
sitions. 1t is reported the Turkish left
wing has evacuated Almyros and is
moving toward PharsalOs to the right
rear of this place and it is further
stated that Gen SmOIenski, command
ing the Greek right wing, reOccupied
Almyros and has restored Geographic
