WAR IS INEVITABLE
Peaceful Solution of the Difficulties
Regarded as Almost Hopeless.
TURKS DON'T WANT TO FIGHT
II Is Said That the Sultan Is OPP
posed to Active HostIlities
Progress Made In Prep
aration for an Outbreak.

London, April 1.-THE Larissa corre-
spondent Of the Times will say to-mor-
row: Every one here continues To de-
clare that an outbreak OF war is in
evitable within the next two or three
days, and especially as II is known that
In high quarters at Athens a peaceful
solution Of the difficulties is regarded
as almost hopeless. The authorities
here are seriously counting the cost OF
embarktng In such a struggle. but other
influences are urging them on. Mean
while II Is perfectly certain that the
lrregulars, unless restrained. will again
invade Macedonia In order to compel
the porte to declare war.
The Athens correspondent OF the
Times says: There Is little doubt that
the Athenians are fully awake to the
great danger OF the situation. There Is
a pessimlstie feeling In the air. The
desire for war Is not abated ON the
contrary, immediate hostilities are
wished for. but II is now realized that
the impending conflict will entail enor-
nous sacrifices and possibly a crushing
disaster. The Greek nation may be
compared tn a man who feels bound tn
fight "A duel in order to save his reputa-
tion. The Times correspondent at Con-
stantinople denies that there is any ef-
fective Turkish war party. He says
that the sultan. the ministry of war
and some Of the other ministers are
strongly opposed to active hostilities
with Greece

THREE PERSONS MURDERED.
A Horrible Crime Committed Near n New

cial to the Standard from Sacketr's
Harhor says a horrible crime was com
mitted In the vicinity Of that village,
where the Ninth United States infantry
Is stationed. about 10 miles from this

afternoon or evening George Allen. a
steward at army headquarters, hired a
carriage at a livery stable in Sacketl's
Harbor and took two women out driy-
ing, One was a young lady Of Sack
etts Harbor, Miss May DAILY, and the
other was divorced woman, Mrs.
Crouch.
At 4:3o o'clock this morning the horse
came back To the livery stable drawing
the carriage containing the dead bodies
of the two women. The proprietor of
the stable at once notified the author
ities. About this time Allen came stag
gering into the barracks In "A weakened
condition, and he, too Is expected To
die. He made an ante-mUrtem state
ment tn the effect that Crouch. the
husband OF the divorced woman, as
saulted the whole party. murdered the
two women and threw him tAllenD into
the creek. Crouch is under arrest.

Copyright 1897 by Associated Press
Elassona. Headquarters OF the Turkish
Army In Mecdonia, Thursday evening.
April l5.-lDelayed In transmissionl The
representative of the associated press at
Turkish headquarters has Just seen "A
prisoner who was captured by the Turks
during the fighting which has taken place
at Krania with the Greek irregulars. The
man was dirty. wore tatlered clothes and
had on his head helmet on which was
the badge of Ethnike Hetairia. the ma
tional league of Greece. He declared he
belonged TO a band OF irregulars which
left Trikhala after receiving AN ovation
frcm the inhabitants of that place. under
command of n captain. two lieutenants OF
the Greek regular army and accompanied
BY medical officer who was wounded.
This expedition. the prisoner added. was
organized to invade Turkey not to harm
villagers, and TO fight Turkish troops
only.
After these statements II Is difficult to
deny that the Greek irreguldrs were or
ganized with the knowledge of the Greek
authorities. This confirms inquiries made
OH this subject by Soyfoulah Bey, an OFF,
Ger on the stan of Edhem Pasha. Turkish
commander-in-chicf. formerly an attaehc
OF the Turkish legation at Athens. aud
consequently familiar with the personal
appearance of the Greek officers, some Of
whom he recognized among the Greek in
surIents. The whole matter seems to form
the basis for grave accusation against
Greece's good faith.
The representative Of the associated
press has visited the greater part OF the
frontier line in this district. and after in
spscting all the passes Is convinced that
the Turks hold such strong positions that
the Greeks will never lie able to enter
Turkish territory In force. In fact the cor
respondent could not Imagine that the
Greeks will make an attempt 10 do so.
while on the other hand the Turkish
commander-in-chief could send mass OF
troops into Greece by several routes and
easily capture Larissa.
