Sharp Difference of Opinion Among
the Powers

London, April 80 D. MIN spite of
the fact that the hostilities on the Greek
frontier have caused but little excite
ment here communications have been in
progress all day long, between the foreign
office and Rome. France and Athens.
1t is reported tonight that among the
other matters considered is the expediency
of ordering the international fleets to
leave CTetan waters. and TO go in the di-
rection of Salonica and the Dardanelles
to watch the fighting. with view to
lovalizing it if necessary, by naval inter
vention.
Should this suggestion. which is UNDER
stood to emanate from the Italian for
eign office be acted upon ii is probab BILE
that only half the fleet of foreign war
ships would be withdrawn for such
purpose. the other half remaining to con-
time the Cretan blockade.
There is said to be a sharp difference
of opinion between the military powers
Russia. Austro- Hungary, and Germany
and the maritime Dowers-Great Britain,
France and Italy-as to the most ex-
peditous and least violent methods of
compelling a cessation of hostilities should
this result not be reached by the exer-
else of diplomatic pressure at Athens. and
Constantinople. The likelihood is that
the force to be employed by Europe if
a resort to force becomes necessary.
would be by sea. as the contine encies of
military Intervention might be more
serious than the hostilities now in pro-
gress. 1t is reported at the foreign
office that the communication received
here from the Marquis of Salisbury after
his interview with Queen Victoria at
Nice. support the theory that the British
government is using its utmost energy
to persuade both the combatants to make
a cessation of the conflict at the stage
which it has reached now.
NJ. Hanotaux. who received the Greek
minister to France today. is understood
to have assured him that while France
could not tolerate the indefinite prolonga-
ton of war. and would never consent to
any essential modification of the exist
ing territories of Greece and Turkey she
would continue for the present her policy
of non-interference except so far as inter
vention might be necessary TO prevent
the spread of the contest 10 other COM
batants.
The situation on the frontier has not.
according to the latest advices, been ma
terially modified today. Both the Turks
and the Greeks are resting from the
exertions of Friday. SATURDAY.

Cyclist VS.. PAGER.

san Francisco, April 19.-Allan N.
Jones, the cyclist, who made some SEN
sationai rides during the indoor tour
nament, in this city recently. is to be
matched for mile run against Flying
Jib, the great PAGER.
The race will be held on the stock
farm track Pleasanton on Saturday
next, and has created unusual inter-
est among the horsemen. Jones has
been training carefully at Livermore
curing the past fortnight. and is in
the best possible condition. He has
reduced his weight eight pounds below
that at which he rode in the pavilion
and is endeavoring to get down to $50
pounds stripped. His mentor, Richard
r Aylward, looks to Jones to make q
remarkable record on the path this sea-
son. He hopes to meet the cracks on
the National Circuit at the important
meets and with ordinary good fortune
expects TO make a creditable showing.
He is considered by many the fastest
sprlnter in the country. His best per-
1ormance recently was his victory in
the quarter mile race at Mechanics pa
vilion: He reduced the worlds indoor
record to 81 20 seconds, which with a
standing start, is very close to the time
made on an outdoor track. In this
race Jones rode completely around
orlando Stevens, who is himself crack
quarter miller. In his match with Fly
ing Jib, Jones will probably be allowed
tandem pacing which is customary in
races of this sort

CHANCE FOR A LEXOW
Persistent Rumors Regarding the
Street Sprinkling Contract.
REVIVED BY MRS. GRIFFIN'S
CHARGES AGAINST HER
HUSBAND.
Some Talk of Starting an Investiga-
ton at Tonight's Meeting of the
City Council.

The Griffin divorce case with its SEN
sauonal suggestion of bribery in con-
nection with the awarding of the street
sprinkling contract was about the only
subject discussed in municipal circles
! yesterday. There YVES such a degree of
interest that it is not improbable some
action will be taken at the meeting of the
CITY council this evening for the purpose
| of investigating the charges of boodling
A few developments that are now
nlghly interesting came to light yester-
day. 1t may be stated right here that
rumors of boodling in connection with
the letting OF the sprinkling contract
have been in circulation ever since the
contract was let, nearly a year ago. Now
that revival to those rumors has taken
place with the prospect of ventilation in
lance.
announced thar Mrs. Griffin in her cross
complaint would mail probability charge
her husband with resorting to bribery
of certain members of the city council 10
secure the street sprinkling contract the
impression seemed to have been created
that Mr.. Griffin paid for the '.infiuence''
of those members and thus secured the
contract regardless of the amount of his
bid. This is far from being the case. AS
matter. OF fact Mr.. Griffin's bid was by
far the lowest of all those submitted and
there was nothing for the council to do
but Il, award the contract to him.
The crooked work is alleged to have
taken place before the bids We're turned
over, and became the property of sthe
council, and went into the charge o. the
city recorder. The custom or law is to
allow the committees to solicit bids for
contract work. Thus on April % last
year. the council authorized the commit
tee on sprinkling to solicit bids for one.
two and three year contracts. On May 10
the bids were opened in open council and
Mr.. Griffins bid proved to be the lowest;
Now the charge IS that Mr. Griffin in
some way had access to all the sealed
bids while they were in the hands of
the committee, and thus was enabled to
underbid every competitor for the con-
tract.
What might have been merely coinci-
decce was the fact few moments prior
TO the o9ening of the bids Councilman
Buckle. ever watchful. walked IN to the
city recorders desk and closely scrutin- /
lied every envelope ostensibly for the
purpose of detecting Il they had been
opened. Whether or net that had any
connection with suspicion in his mind |
at the time that something was wrong |
is wholly matter of conjecture.
After the bids had been opened City |
Recorder Emery took charge of all the |
pa pers and what may ont be another |
was the fact that he decided /
to preserve the envelopes IN which the /
proposals were submitted. Whether Mr.. !
Emery had any reason for so doing he |
now refuses 10 state. but 1t is ver:- evil |
dent he had suspicious that something |
might turn up in the future

wnen the firing slackened last night.
Most Of them flung themselves down
where they stood on the bare. ground to
sleep The Turkish commander-in-chief
rest today.
As details come in, it becomes more
ana more apparent that the fighting in
milouna pass was of the most stubborn
and savage character. The Turks fought
IKE devils, and the Greeks resisted in the
spirit of their ancestors
The most inexplicably fact in connection
with the whole engagement is the COM
paratvely small number of killed All
this. The Turkish appear TO have fired
as wildly with their rifles at Milouna
pass as they did at Arta. where the
hghting consisted of an artillery duel be-
tween the rival batteries on each side
of the river. lasting about four hours in
the afternoon There they fired only
one out of five shots with any effect, and
their batteries Were soon siienced by the
Greeks, whose craftsmanship was very
much superior. The Turkish losses at
Arta are believed to have been very
heavy. On the. Greek side there was not
a man killed.
Later-9 p. m--General Smolenitz. ex-
minister of war is in command of 1900
Greeks at Reveni. not far from Tyrpavos.
northwest of Larlssa. At this point
Edhem Pasha. closely pressed, was nearly
taken prisoner. His plan was to force
the pass OF Reveni. to enter the plain of
Larissa, and to cut off the retreat of the
Greek army with his cavalry and thus
take Larlssa without resistance But this
plan was defeated
General Domorpoulos. at the head of
one Greek division. forced the Turkish
line at Rougha.z. close to Tyrnavos. and
General Mavromochale broke through at
Koniskos.
Tho two generals united their troops
near Damasi. The news of this success
at Reveni and of the imminent fall of
Prevesa has changed the dismay caused
at Athens by the loss of Milouna into the
widest rejoicing. The latest advices to-
night are that the Greek troops are adj
vancing TO reoccupy their positions at
Milouna and at Gritzovali. the latter OF
which It is alleged was abandoned owing
to misunderstanding by the general iII
command who interpreted as an older to
retreat what was really intended as an
order to advance.
Captain Tagardo, who was wounded at
Gritzovali, shot himself in order to avoid
falling into the hands of the Turks.
The Greeks report that the Turks lost
1000 killed and wounded at Reveni. but
this estimate is probably excessive. The !
Greek engineers constructed a bridge at |
Pachyskalos to enable their troops to
cross the river.
1t IS said that the Turkish forces at
lacking Reveni numbered more than |

NOT ENCOURAGING.
Minister to Greece Snowden Is Not
at All Sanguine.

Philadelphia, April lex Minister
to Greece Snowden said today that he
had recently received the following re-
ply TO message sent to King George
approving the attitude assumed by
that monarch:
Hearty thanks for your approval.
Precious TO me. Have six powers
against us. GEORGE"
Continuing. Mr.. Snowden said:
There never was so i'll an opportun-
ity as the present for Greece to have
a conflict with Turkey. Up to two or
three years ago an advance of the
Greek army into Thessaly would have
meant a general uprising of Roumapia,
Bulgaria Servia and Macedonia, and
the overpowering of the Turks. for
Roumania alone has a larger and bet
ter equipped army than the sultan.
Now. however the situation is very
different. Roumania has practically
established an allegiance to Germany
by having a Hohenzollern upon her
throne: Bulgaria has almost become a
Russian province. and Servia's king is
the son of a daughter of a Russian
colonel. so that unless the people of
these countries act contrary to the in
fiuence of their leaders, there is not
likely to be any combination against
Turkey.
me TURKS can ana no QOuDt Will
drive the Greeks back over the from
tier The Turkish army outnumbers
that of Greece two to one and is bet
ter equipped. The entire army of
Greece including reserves, consists of
about $4,000 troops. and l do not think
it has been possible for them TO have
been equipped with the most modern
munitions of war.
Greece has a deplorable financial
condition and cannot stand pro-
tracted conflict. I very much fear she
will be badly whipped, but l do not
believe the powers will allow the sui
tan to overrun Greece or to take pos
session of Athens"

/ New York. April 19.-Colonel Francis
". Greene. United States army. re-
tired. who was sent by this govern
ment to Russia during the last Turk
ish war to represent the war depart
ment, told of his observations of the
Turkish army while in battle.
The Turks are individually good
| lighters" said Colonel Greene. They
are fine soldiers. very obedient, fanat-
&c IN their religion, and fatalists. The
Turk fights up TO a certain point. and
when he thinks matters are going
against him he will run Not for any
lack or courage, however. but because
ne thinks fate is against him. The
turkish soldiers are well armed. Dur
ing the RusSo-Turkish war the Turks
were better armed than the Russians.
They were we'll clothed, but the COM
missary and transportation systems
were fatally defective. In numbers
the peace strength is $4,000 Greeks
ana $4,000 Turks. and these can prob
ably be increased to three times as
many on each side. In 1877 the Turks
put 100000 in the field in Europe and
100000 in Asia, and they made a very
much stronger resistance than the Rus
SLAMS anticipated. I think Russia put
nearly half million men in the field
before the war was over. Turkey is
bankrupt. but so was she in 1877, and
that won't stop her from fighting.
They will probably manage to borrow
enough money TO buy guns and am
munition, and they will get food out
OF their own country.
The Turks 20 years ago fought an
entirely defensive campaign. There is
no reason why they should do so now.
Their plan was to seize some impor-
tant point and throw up Notifications.
which they constructed with remark
able skill. and then wait to be at
tackled behind their breastworks. They
collected large amounts of ammunition
and provisions In these forts and
awaited attack Some times their po-
sitions were turned. They were COM
PEELED to retreat and then they would
abandon all their ammunitions and
stores and fall back on another line
of Notifications 20 or so miles in the
rear
Colonel Greene was asked his opinion
as to the relative strength of the ar
mics of Greece and Turkey.
There is no question" he said, that
the Turks are more than a match for
the Greeks. but the whole question is
what stand the great powers will take.
They are all extremely anxious TO keep
the peace, because if war is once
started among the great powers it is
impossible to say when it will end
