GREEKS DEMAND WAR.

Anxious for Hostiiittes.

LONDON, April 5.-The Times prints despatch
from Athens saying that the popular impa-
tience with the present condition OF affairs
Is increasing, and that demands are made
from various quarters for an immediate DECLARE
tion Of war by Greece against Turkey. The
Kings inaction is denounced by those who arc
anxious for the opening of actual hostilities.
The Government journals continue to enjoin
patience, but they have little effect. The oxcit-
able populace which has set its heart upon war,
will not be balked In its desire.
The murmurs are becoming ominous 1t is
whispered that IL tho Government delays much
longer to effect tho national mandate, the pent-
up tide Of patriotism will burst not on tho from
tier, but in Athens.
The seed Of discomfort is sown by enemies OF
the Government, who circulated the rumor that
a humiliating surrender is meditated. Even the
King despite the sympathy felt for him and the
popular feeling in his favor, docs not escape
malignant criticism
Tho daily arrival of volunteers adds fuel to
the flames of excitement. These volunteers arc
really a source of weakness and add TO the en-

Our Duty to Protest Against such n Vioin-
tion OF the Rules OF Civilized warnare.
WARRINGTON. April 5.-Tho resolution offered
by Mr.. Allen Pop, Ncb.) on Thursday last in
regard TO the drumhoad court-martial on Gen.
Rus Rivera in Cuba, caused quite an animated
Cuban debate in the Senate to-day. Mr.. Aliens
resolution declared 1t to be tho duty of the
United States to protest against this violation
OF the laws Of civilized warfare.
Mr.. Hoar (Rep, Massl declared that tho whole
resolution was founded on rumor. misunder-
standing, and prophecy; that tho Senator from
Nebraska had no facts to go upon except news
paper rumor.
MIR. Allen retorted. with some bitterness, that
In the four years he had sat in the Senate he had
never been once able to introduce resolution
which had met the approval of the senior Senator
from Massachusetts. For his own part he felt 10
strongly on this matter that he would grind
into million infinitesimal bits the hearts OF the
brutal Spaniards unless they relaxed their
cruel treatment of the Cubans. And yet, because
he expressed these views in true Western style
and not in the conservative manner of Massa-
chusetts, In the Judgment Of the senior Senator
from that State, he (Mr. Allen) had acted under
the impulse Of heated imagination.
Mr. Hale (Rep., Me- moved that tho resolution
DO referred to the Committee ON Foreign Relar
uons. Lost-21 to 27.
Two suggested amendments of phraseoloey
were adopted by Mr.. Allen, and the resolution
was adopted by vote of Al yeas and no nayp.
1t reads as follows:
Whereas, Information has come to the Senate that

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, April 5.-On Sunday
night the r. l.. Mabey OF this city left en- route
for the st. Johns bar. Ii had been rumorcd that
the Maoey would take a cargo of arms and am-
munition out to the Bermuda which was seen
on Saturday night off Fernandina bar by the
cruiser rVesuvius,apparently waiting for the tug
Jones to tow out two lighters from that place.
A large coal supply was taken aboard the
Mabey before nightfall, and at 9 o'clock she
steamed down the river with a numerous crew.
Capt ki!Sore OF the revenue cutter Boutwell,
observed the move on the part OF the Mabey
and tried to put n man aboard, but at
first the commander of the Mabey pretended
not to see the signals made by the cutter. and
the Boutwell's guns were trained upon the
craft. A halt was ordered and the Mabey COM
pliod and an officer placed aboard the
steamer. After this the Mabey proceeded to tho
bar. turned around, and returned to Jackson
vile without having had opportunity of
transferring the arms.
quantity Of arms and ammunition has been
stored on the banks OF Sisters Creek near May
port, for some time. The Cubans at Fernandina
signalled the Bermuda from the shore that she
was to wait in the neighborhood OF the ST.
Johns River.
After returning to Jacksonville the cutter
officer was called away from the Mabey. Tho
Mabey is said to have been connected with
many Of the filibustering expeditions. She was
halted with solid shot off Mosquito Inlet in 90
tober last.
NASSAU. n. p, March 31.-H. NJ. 8. Partridge,
which arrived here on Sunday night, reports
having seen a steamer off Watling's Island on
March 27 which the officers believe to have
been the Bermuda.
When first seen the Bermuda was within mile
and half OF the shore steaminR slowly. She had
no colors up and appeared to be very light, as II
in ballast. The moment she discovered the
Partridge she altered her course to the south
east and put rapidly to sea, and as she was much
more speedy than the man-of-war tho latter did
not pursue. being also very short Of coal. The
Partridge is now coaling here and will go on Q

BOSTON, April 5.-The battle ship Iowa had
her preliminary run to-day over tho Cape Ann
course. where she will have her final trial spin
on Wednesday.
The trial. far as it went, WAS thoroughly
successful, and Edwin s. Cramp, who represents
the builders, learned enough about the capabl-
ities Of the vessel to feel pretty sure that she
will win good bonus.
The Iowa was sent over the first half of the
course after she had done some jockeying to
warm up her engines. She covered the thirty
three miles in l hour 55 minutes and 81 sec
onds. or at the rate of III knots an hour The
conditions under which this was done were not
the most favorable, for although the seq was as
smooth could be wished, the wind was d-
rectly aft about the worst direction from which
1t could blow as far as the draught was concerned
Every one felt that the run back would bo
done in even better time, as the wind would be
much more favorable. Unfortunately. however
after the first leg OF tho return journey had been
covered at a ratting pace the vessel ran into n
dense fog bank, and speed had TO be reduced and

DETROIT, Mich, April 5.-Pingreeism has re-
ceived Its first setback in eight years In to-day's
election for Mayor. Arrayed against the Gov
crnor and his friends were tho corporate bodies
Of tho town, the banks, tho steam and street
railway interests, the real estate and insurance

the result shows that the combination was too

At Gov. Plngroos request Capt. A. f. Stewart,
an unknown quantity in political life. was put
up to combat ex-Congressman William c. May
bury, the most popular Democrat of tho town.
The campaign was bitter each side resorting to
incessant vituperation.
Pingree's majority Of 10000 eighteen months

cincts in tho town give Maybury plurality of

POLICY OF THE POWERS.
The Joint Declaration They Have sent to Greece
and Turkey.

LONDON. April 5.-In the House of Commons
to-day. Sir William Harcourt asked whether the
Turkish troops would be withdrawn from Crete
and whether the British forces would take part
In n blockade Of Greece. Upon these matters he
desired the Government to make n definite
statement and also to announce the policy OF
the Government In regard to Greece and Cret,
Mr.. A. J. Balfour said that the data OF tn.
withdrawal OF the Turkish troops from Creto
had not yet been fixed In the meantime. he
said, tho powers were making a joint declaration
to tho Government at Athens and to the Gov
ernment at Constantnope, as tho result OF
which II was hoped that peace would be main
tanned.
This declaration was that in tho event OF a
conflict upon the Greek frontier tho aggrcssor
would be answerabe for all the conseq quences
of disturbance Of peace, to which the powers
attached the greatest Importance and also
that whatever might be tho result OF n struggle
between Greece and Turkey the powers would
not consent that the aggressor should derive the
slightest advantage therefrom.
Mr.. Cursor. Under Foreign Secretary, said. in
answer to q question by Mr.. John Morley, that
all OF tho European powers except Germany had
landed troops in Crete. Germany, he added, had
not explained why she had refrained from send
ing troops the other powers had done.
Mr.. A. j. Balfour said that Great Britain
would not hesitate to participate In q blockade
of Greece If such action should become neces-
sary In the interest OF peace.
Sir William Harcourt said II was his desire
that the country should know the policy OF tho
Government more definitely than 1t WAS known
at present, and he therefore gave notice that he
would move an address to the Queen praying
that the forces of the Crown shall not be en-.
ployed against the kingdom OF Greece or the
people OF Crete. Liberal chocrs
Mr. Balfour said that the Ministerial majority

The campaign was acrimonious the church
people, all the law and order forces. and bust
ness and professional people on the surface
seeming to have united on Richter. Tho main
objection urged against Rice was his personal
bitter campaign against Mckinley last fall and
the looscness In municipal affairs under him.

offend Catholics and to identify Richter with
