EL.ASsoNA, Macedonia, April p
Bands OF Greek brigands have entered
Turkey at KranIa, in the vicinity Of
Grobina. Tho Turkish troops have been
engaged with them and the fight has
been proceeding since o'clock this
morning.
A dispatch received at the Turkish
headquarters here from Greyena says
that the fighting between the Greeks
and Turks continues. The Turks, fol-
lowing out the instructions OF Edhem
PRsha, have surrounded the Greek ir-
regulars and greater part Of the Turk
ish division stationed at Greysna, under
HAkld Pasha is not advancing.
II Is Impossible to distinguish wheth"
er the invaders are supported BY any
substantial portion Of the Greek reBu'
lar army, as the Greeks have taken up
n position In the middle Of forest, but
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press is informed that the moment the
Turkish officers ascertain the presence
OF the uniforms OF the Greek regulars
in the ranks OF the agEressors, Edham
Pasha Will order the advance OF the en-
tire Turkish army.
The situation IL most serious In the
meanwhile Edham Pasha remains at
the general headquarters awaiting
news. He has already notifled his gem
erals OF divisions 10 hold themselves in
readiness for instant action, and the re-
serves have already left the encamp%
ment here in order TO move closer to
the FIRST line Of defense.
GrevenR Ia eighteen hours march from
here and Krania Is ten mills southwest
ward Of GTevena.
The correspondent OF the Associated
Press was enabled this morning to make
n close investigation OF the Turkish line
Of defence. 1t revealed that everything
II in excellent shape OF preparation. The
transport service is excellent. Four
thousand pack horses are employed and
enormous masses OF war stores, pom
toonS, cannon. tents, medicines, ammu-
milton and In fact, everything needed for
a large army haa been gathered here.

TOLEDO, Ohio. Aprll 0.--In the Ar
buckle -Woolson Injunction suit, the cir
cult court to-day overruled plaintiffs
motion for u new trial and granted fifty
days in which to flle a bill OF exceptions.
The common pleas court some time
since dissolved the Injunction to re-
strain defense from cutting prices Of
coffee
The court reviewed the facts and
found that In all probability the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company or sugar
trust, bought the stock OF tho WOolBon
company. and did 80 for the purpose OF
rctlliating against the Arbuckles for
attempting to enter the sugar business.
The court finds 1hht the company Is be-
Ing run In the interest Of the sugar
trust and not for the benefit OF the
WoOlson company: that the declines In
coffee were made for the purpose OF
forcing losses on Arbuckle Bros. and
forcing them out OF the sugar business.
But the court held that the planting
are not prosecuting the case IN good
faith for the interest Of the WoolsOn
Spice company, but to protect thelr
greater interest as Arbucklo Bros, Cor-
fee roasters. and therefore, though an
