 New York, April 24.-Four hundred and fifty Greeks sailed from here today for Havre en route to the scene of war be- tween their native country and Turkey. All night long the Greek colony on Roosevelt and Madison streets were a:tir and enthusiasm for the fatherland found vent in speeches, in songs and in cheers. A brass band played national airs at in- tervals and the war cy "Zeito polemcs" greeted every utterance of patriotic chara cter that became audible above the din. In addition to the 450 who took passage on board the La Champagne, there were many others anxious to go to the front, but for the time being there was no possibility oA providing them with transportation. They were prom ised that in a few days they would be sent forward to join their brethren. A large concourse followed them from the headquarters to the French steamship line a brass band playing the Greek national anthems.
 When the warriors had boarded the steamer they were lined up on deck, while James Patterson, the local repre- them an impassoned speech, breathing pnayer for the safety of the men going to the front and expressing the hope, that they would give a good account of them selves.

 pr. Clapp has had the contract for removing the debris from the old Cald- well hotel site and yesterday had a gang of men al work there. About 5:30 o'clock he went to the building referred to above and was never seen alive afterwards.
 When o'clock arrived the workmen left their work and looked around several places for pr. Clapp and, failing to find him, went to their respective homes.
 Shortly before 8 o'clock an employe of the Southern railway went into the toilet room and found Dr. Clapp stiff and cold in death He at once notified Officers Eager and Goggan and they called the Warner-Smiley company's conveyance. The body was removed to their morgue on Twentieth street, where over $20 was found in the pockets.
 A physician was called and pronounced the cause of death as appoplexy. There were no signs of violence on the body, but it appeared that Dr. Clapp had bled profusely from the mouth.
 Dr. Clapp was resident of Woodlawn and was well known. He leaves wife and one son, who is married. He will be buried this afternoon from his late resi-

Vienna and that Of Emperor Frarlcis Joseph to St. Petersburg.
 A diplomat. who was a member or Elm peror Williams suite during the trip 70 Vienna, said to the correspondent or she Associated Press:
 
 directed to keeping the war confined to narrow limits but the success of their emdeavors is doubtful. If Turkey utterly routs Greece all will be well, but if Greece meets with even temporary success all will be chaos, as there are good reasons to suspect that Bulgaria, Servia and NIont enegro are only waiting for chance to break loose, especially Bulga- ria, which is lhankering after Macedonia herself"
 The visit of Prince Ferdinand of Bull garin to Berlin was an event of more than ordinary importance. The prince audience with the emperor was not sat isfac55ry His majesty strongly dis suaded Lhe prince from engaging in war Nike enterprises and plainly washed him of the unpleasant conSs queuHces. Prince Ferdinand, however. was apparently not discouraged, for he entered into negosia- tioas with Berlin financiers for raising q Bulgarian loan, and also entered into ue- go. iations with the KruppS fer supply of quick-firing heavy guns
 Prince Bismarck has quite recovered his health, and has notified his Hamburg admirers that he will accept a reception and torchlight procession cn May 10. the anniversary of the Frankfort peace of 1871.
 German emigration for the mon h of March was again diminished by only 1,93S person, comrared with 3,120 persons dur ing March 1896.
