TURKISH FLEET SETS SAIL.
Danger That 1t May Come in Conflict
with the International Fleet.


Constantinople, Aug. "a dispatch from
the Dardanelles late to-day announces
that the second naval division of the Turk
ish fleet, consisting of seven warships,
commanded by Hari Pasha, has sailed for
the island Of Crete. Fears are expressed
that the departure of the Turkish naval
division may lead to a collision with the
international fleet in Cretan waters, in
view of the announcement of the foreign
admirals that they have decided to OPP
pose by force the landing of Turkish re-
Inducements in the island of Crete.
The peace conference was in session
three hours to-day, and unexpected prog
ress was made with the negotiations
1t is said that everything has been ar
ranged except the question of the evacu-
alton of Thessaly, which is to be consid-
cred tomorrow.
1t is hoped that a solution of the whole
difficulty is now imminent.

YANKEE SAILORS IN A RIOT.
Lively Fight Reported With Japan
eSe Coolies at Kobe.

san Francisco, Aug. 3.-The steamer Bel
gic from Hong Kong via Honolulu brings
advices from Kobe to the effect that Sc
rious riot occurred there on July l, be-
tween number of sailors from the ships
yorktown and Boston, and a mob of Jap
anese coolies, on the occasion of a ball
game between a team from the warships
and the European nine of Kobe.
The row commenced with a coolie having
stolen a flask of whisky from a bluejacket,
who was caught and chastised by the lat
ter. The local police attempted to arrest
the sailor, but his shipmates refused to give
him up and marched in a body to a res
taurant, where they made a stand and
dehed them. An immense crowd assem-
bed and the attitude of the coolies was
decidedly menacing, but the police made
no effort to disperse the mob and the blue
jackets Determined to fight their way
through the mob to the water front
Stones and other missiles were exchang-
ed and when a reinforcement came ashore
some hours later, the police dispersed the
coolies and the sailors boarded their re-
spective ships without further molesta>
tion 1t is believed, however, that more
will be heard of tie incident in the near
future.
Washington, Aug. 3.-The latest advices
of the navy department from the Asiatic
station make no mention of any trouble
such as reported from Victoria between
the sailors of the Yorktown and Boston
with the japanese of Kobe and for that
reason the officials at the department at
tach no Importance to the report
A recently published statement of the
nl-treatment of United States sailors in
Honolulu turns out to have this fact for
a foundation. Some deserters We're cap
tured by the local police, and as they re-
sisted, it was necessary to tie them up
and deliver them in this shape aboard the
ship. The naval officers say there is
hardly any record of il-treatment of
American sailors in japanese waters.

He also says that the rights of the

been disputed, ard they are now disputed
and that large amounts of claims for dam

the respective ow ners should be settled now

sideration furnishes not only the best
means of doing this fairly and with justice
to all parties, but that 1t provided also a
means for acquiring the remainder of the

When this Is taken into consideration, and at the
same time We find hosts of people still willing to
be led astray by the hundred and nostrums
which irresponsible traders try to foist upon them
on the preteXt that these preparations las good
as Paine's celery compound (but really because
they make big profit on such preparations), it is
time for every one who detests fraud to warn lis
neghbors, and take the warning to himself, that
when he goes to get bottle Of Paine's celery
compound he must not be wheedled into taking some
other remedy.
faine's celery compound makes people well.
These other things work harm.

Its formula is given freely to every physician.
These trashy stuns that you are asked to buy are
made up Of ingredients that should never be taken

These ordinary nervines, tonics and sarsaparillas
are no more to be compared with Paine's celery
