The Fighting Described.

London May 1S.-The Daily Chroni-
cle's correspondent at Athens gives the
following official account of the fighting
yesterday:
Over $4,000 Turks simultaneously and
continually attacked our whole line. Our
artillery and infantry fire did splendid
work. Twice all the regiments of the
enemy wavered and fed though their at
tack was soon renewed with fresh forces,
which, in turn. we were able to hurl
back. The stubborn resistance and
splendid vigor of our troops compelled
the enemy to give way altogether. All
the attacks on our left were similarly
repulsed. Our right did not fare so well.
The first attack of the enemy was re-
pulsed. but they massed an immense
force for the next attack Our first line
wavered and was broken, and the wing
would have been turned but for the
timely arrival of the reserves. Still the
enemy had gained ground, which it was
then impossible to regain, and we there
fore fell back to Bousi.
The Turks had $4,000 troops, with 30
GOO reserves. Our force was only $4,000.
We have lost heavily. but the enemy
must have lost thousands.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1897-05-20

against an arrangement which, he held
Disseminated against the people of
Utah. Mr.. McRae of Arkansas and Mr.
Underwood of Alabama spoke against
the plan. complaining that the royalty
was too small.
Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin declared the
interest of Mr.. King of Utah in the mat
ter was explained by the fact that his
partner ex-senator Brown of Utah, was
interested in the lands.
II deny that" replied Mr.. King.
Thereupon Mr.. Cooper read from off
cial reports of the army officer, who is
III charge OF the reservation as Indian
agent, the statement that Thomas LLOYD.
the state mining inspector, had located
on the lands on the 4th of March last
as agent for Governor Wells. Secretary
of State Hammond and Senator Brown.
In response, Mr.. King defended these
officials, declaring them all to be poor
and honest men.
The house rejected the conference by
Il vote of 36 to 73.
Mr.. Lacey's amendment was proposed
in the form of Instructions to the con-
ferces. but was lost.
The speaker reappointed the cOnferees
for another conferences.
The conference report having been dis
posed of, Mr.. Hit asked unanimous con-
sent for consideration of the resolution
passed by the senate for the relief of
American citizens in Cuba.
Thereupon Mr.. Bailey said there
would be no objection if resolution
for the recognition of the belligercncy of
Cubans could be considered as an amend
ment.
I'VE will attend to one thing at a
time" Mr.. Dingley said.
you'll attend to both of these at once
before you attend to either" Mr.. Bailey
shouted back.
as this an objection?" queried Mr..
Reed.
Not if the amendment can be consid-
ered.' answered Mr.. Bailey
"An objection is an objection" ruled
the speaker.
Mr.. Bailey spoke up: "'hen I ask
unanimous consent for consideration of
both resolutions"
But the speaker refused to notice the
request of the democratic leader and rec
ognized Mr.. Dingley, who made a motion
to adjourn.
This stirred small tempest.
Mr.. Bailey called to Mr.. Dingley: 'Is
the gentleman afraid to meet this ques-
tiony' and the democrats forced roll
call on the motion to adjourn.
The motion to adjourn was carried by
party vote, the republicans voting for
it and the democrats and populists voted
against it, the total being 80 to 90. and
at $40 p. IN. the house adjourned to
Thursday.

House Proceedings.

Washington. May 17-No sooner had
the journal of the last session been read
than Mr.. Simpson (pop.) of Kansas and
Mr.. Wheeler (dem.) of Alabama shouted
objections. Mr. Wheeler was trying to
repeal his constituent objection raised
last week amid the objections of several
republicans. when the presidents secre-
tary, Mr.. Pruden. appeared with large
document and announced:
"a message from the president"
Mr.. Wheeler continued to speak. how
speakers table
The speaker ruled. in response to the
objections. that Mr. Wheeler should be
heard, and that gentleman spoke for fif-
teen minutes. Most of the democrats
and popuists voted against approving the
Journal, and Mr.. Simpson forced the
speaker to count quorum.
Then the presidents message on Cuba
was read at 1890.
Mr.. Hit, former chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign affairs, at once intro
duced a bill for the appropriation of
$4,000 for food and transportation for
the Cubans. substantially the same as
the senate bill, though not identical in
wording. The consideration of the bill
was very brief. Mr.. Dingley, the repub-
lican leader. and Mr.. Bailey, the demo-
cratic leader, were at once on their feet.
Mr.. Bailey waved aloft a document
81 will not object to consideration" he
announced. eff the amendment which l
hold can be offered
81 will have to object to that" Mr..
Dingley replied.
81 hope there is no objection" replied
Mr.. Bailey.
as there any objection?' demanded
the speaker.
81 object spoke up Mr.. Dingiey.
objection is made" the speaker an
nounced, "and the gentleman from New
York presents conference report on
the Indian appropriation bill"
This passage consumed but minute.
Members crowded about Mr.. Bailey and
learned that the amendment he proposed
to offer embodied Senator Morgan's res
ency of the Cubans.
The conference report on the Indian
bill recommended the compromise on the
GilsOnite lands of the Uncompahgre In
dians in Utah. providing that the govern
ment retain title to the land and they be
mined under regulations prescribed by
the secretary of the interior, the govern
ment to receive royalty of IS cents per
ton on the gilsOnite mined Opposition
developed at once. Mr.. Lacey. former
chairman of the public lands committee.
criticised it on the ground that it did not
apply to asphalt lands and did not guard
against the control of the lands by a
trust.
Mr.. Lacey proposed an amendment to
make 100 acres the amount which any
corporation could secure by assignments

The nnttIc Oncned nt Domokns.

Headquarters Greek Army, Domokos,
May l5.-5 p. m.-rhe Turkish attack
on the Greek wing began at = o'clock this
afternoon, but the flank attacks are CON
sidcred to be feints, and it is believed the
main attack by the Turks will be made
upon the Greek center, where Crown
Prince Constantine is in command.
The Greek cannon are doing great exc
cution on the principal Turkish column,
which is advancing through the hills.
The Turkish infantry at several points
is in contact with the Greeks.
1t is believed here that the attack on
Gen. Smolenski near Almyros is only
strategic operation and that the Turks
will endeavor to cut between the two
the Orthry mountains and thus cut Off
the retreat of the crown prince.

Greeks sufrered serious Defeat.

London, May ISL a. m.-The latest
news from the seat of hostilities by way
of Athens shows that the battle yester-
day ceased about 8 o'clock in the even
ing. but will probably be resumed this
morning. Thus far no account of the
fighting has been received from the Turk
ish side 1t is evident from the Greeks
side that the Greeks have suffered a
serious. defeat.
This is Edhem Pasha's reply to the
foolish attempt of Col. Manos to snatch
a victory in Eprus. If Greece had pre-
vented Munos from playing this last card
of gambler Turkey might perhaps have
ceased hostilities AS it is now, she is
in full possession of Thessaly, and the
powers will find the task of protecting
Greece more difficult than ever.
A dispatch from Athens represents
the populace as astounded when the news
of the fighting came. They had hoped to
the last that the powers would prevent
the war from going further.

Senate Proceedings.

Washington, May 17.-Cuba engrossed
the attention of the senate today. The
public interest in the subject was shown
by the great crowds which besieged the
galleries throughout the day. Among
The occupants of the diplomatic galleries
were Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, and Minister Hatch of
Hawaii, and in the reserved gallery was
Gen. Dan Sickles. ex-United States min
lister to Spain. Neither the Spanish le-
cation nor the Cuban bureau in Washing
ton were represented.
Two phases of the subject were pre-
scented. First came the question of re-
lief to destitute and starving Americans
in Cuba, and at 2 o'clock Mr.. Morgan's
resolution caused spirited debate.
The first question was presented in the
presidents message as soon as the ses-
sion opened. Immediately following its
reading, Mr.. Davis, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, presented
favorable report on joint resolution
originally introduced by Mr. Gallinger,
approprating $4,000 for relief of Amer
lean citizens in Cuba.
Immediately after the reading of the
Journal. Secretary Pruden of the White
House staff presented the message on
Cuba. it. was taken to the clerks desk
and read with the closest attention from
senators and spectators. Following the
reading of the message Mr.. Davis of
Minnesota. chairman of the committee on
foreign relations, favorably reported,
with amendments, the resolution intro
sduced by Mr.. Gallinger last Thursday
Nppropriating $4,000 for the relief of
Ntitute citizens of the United States in

Vigorously Protest.

st. Petersburg, May 1.-THE newspa-
pers of this city protest vigorously against
Iie excessive and unacceptable" condi-
tions which Turkey demands as the
price of peace with Greece. They de-
clare that if Turkey insists upon them
Europe will be obliged to abandon media
ton.
The Novoe Vremya says that if Turkey
insists upon the terms she has presented,
the powers will have to take practical
measures to preserve Greece from the
pretensions which threaten her national
existence"

THE LANGTRY DIVORCE.
Edward Langtry RidicuIes the
Power of the California Court.

London, May 17.-Edward Langtry is
quoted here today as saying that the
information which he has received of the
granting of decree of divorce to his
wife, the actress, Lily Langtry, by
California court, is that which has ap-
peared in the news dispatches. He ridi-
cules the power Of the California court
and says Mrs. Langtry can not remarry
without committing bgamy, and that If
she does so and comes to England it will
be within the power of the public prose-
cutor to indict her. Mrs. Langtry, how
ever, will not contemplate such step.
He denies the charges of desertion and
claims that he has been kind and fair
to Mrs. Langtry all along.
