LARIssA, Headquarters of the Greek
army in Thessaly, April 17.-Severe
fighting has occurred in Macedonia be-
tween the Greek irregulars and Turk
ish forces. The column of irregulars
sent to the right from Pigavitza after
having invested and captured Sitovon,
continued its advance toward Kri-
tudes, Plisia and Kourduzi with
orders to hold Kourduzi at
all costs, as it commands the
right approach to Grevena, the OBJ
jective point. This column, command
ed by Chiefs Zermos and Luzzo, at
tackled Kritudes on Tuesday The
place was defended by two companies
of Turks. After a severe fight, during
which so Turks were killed and %
were taken prisoners, the position was
captured by the Greeks. who also OBJ
tanned possession of $50 rifles and a
quantity of cartridges.
The insurgents, however, have suf-
fered a severe check in another direc-
ton. A strong force of troops from
Mecovon, with a number of mountain
guns, advanced on Krania, which had
previously been captured by the
Greeks, and attacked the 400 irregu-
lars of Greece, who occupied an en-
trenched position. 1t is reported that
the fighting was ferocious on both
sides.
| The insurgents, eventually, were
compelled to retreat north to the
mountains. Some of them, however,
succeeded in breaking through the
| Turkish lines and escaped to Baltino,
the town just across the frontier in
] Macedonia, first captured by the Greek
irregulars and used by them as depot
for provisions and ammunition. The
accounts given by the refugees of the
Turkish losses are believed to be eXag-
gerated. They say that 265 Turks
were killed, while the irregulars only
had eight men killed and II wounded

in that direction, Chief Milonas

LEvEE BREAKS S.
Big Crevasse About Five Miles South OF

4 Big Crevasse About Five Miles South OF
Delta-It Protected Plantations, and
Much Land Will Be Flooded.
VICKsBURG, Miss, April 17.--At mid
night dispatch was received from the
Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific rail-
way Office at Delta, reporting a big
.revasse about five miles south of Del
ia in the Biggs levee, which occurred
1T IL O'Clock. This is the levee on
which Bolivar Thompson has been
working for several days with
force of five hundred men, free
aborers and convicts. It is
high levee, said to be fully Is feet
nigh, but is built largely OF sand and
aas thin cross section with INSULT
cient slope. 1t protected fine planta-
ton country, and its back water will
food much plantation land. A desper-
ate effort has been made to hold the
Ievee, but there is no chance OF clos
ing the crevasse, or preventing its de-
velopment of a disastrous break.
There is a strip of swamp about
two miles wide Immediately behind the
Bigg's levee, but beyond that the back
water will run over cotton lands and
Secretary Lane, of the Fifth district
Ievee board. is of the opinion the back
water will flood Tensas and Concordla
parishes. 1t is thought the flood will
back up on the Vicksburg, Shreveport
e. Pacific road as far as Talullah or
farther. The officials of that road are
hurrying warnings 20 all stations
along its line.
1t appears impossible to find any 'one
here at this hour who knows anything
of the topography of the country
which may be overfowed by this
crevasse, but the general impression is
that its effects will be extremely dis

Loses One of Her Torpedo Shells While at
Target Practice.
New YORK, April 1.-THE battleship
Indiana, which lies anchored off Temp
kinsville, lost one of her torpedo shells
on the morning of the 14th, while at
target practice.
The torpedo shell was blank one,
is feet long, and was fred at an mag
mary target, 500 yards distant from
the battleship. When fired on Wednes-
day morning the mechanism of the
shell got out of order and the practice

posed that the air cham bers got out of
order. The torpedo shell cost 81, 500,
and several boats crews from the In
diana have searched the waters of the
upper and lower bay endeavoring to
locate it, but so far without success.

The Plain Facts.

The Tribune makes q laborious effort to
justify its betrayal of the Republican party
in this city and State at the late election.
The facts are very clear. That pretended
organ of Republicanism Joined in a Mug
wump assault on a regularly nominated
Republican ticket, not on any ground Of
objection to its composition. for its candi-
dates were beyond criticism and the best
in the field by all odds. 1t supported n
guerrilla ticket nominated by men who
persistently refused to confer with the Re-
publican party as to the selection of COM
mon candidates, although invited 80 to do
most courteously.
When the candidate for Mayor nominat-
ed by the Republican party offered to with
draw, 80 that third candidate agreeable
to both sides might be substituted, the
guerrilla candidate refused peremptorily to
follow his example, and thus defeated his
unselfsh purpose to produce requisite har-
mony. Thereupon the Tribune came out
fatty and joyously for the obstinate and
disturbing independent candidate who was
running avowedly against the party of
which it professed to be the organ.
These are the facts, and it requires few
lines only to recite them, but Mr.. WHITE
LAW REID finds it necessary to consume q
columns space in the effort to explain
them away. The sum and substance of the
whole is that he played the part Of traitor
for the qualification of his private ma
Lightly, and exposed the Tribune to all Re-
publicans as peculiarly nasty enemy of
their party, against whose treachcry they
must be on their guard ceaselessly from
this time forth, and more especially in the
election Of next year and the momentous
election in 1900.

end; and when that presumption ccases by
reason Of some occurrence on the trial, the
jeopardy is shown to have been incomplete
and does not suffice to raise the Constitu-
tlonnl barrier.
In Georgia tho Supreme Court has gone
so far as to hold that trial Judge can
properly discharge the jury in murder
case on account Of the death OF the mother
OF one OF the Jurors. That able but some-
what eccentric lawyer, Chief Justice
BLEcKLEY, however, dissented in cogent
opinion In which he said:
-The law presumes every man innocent untn the
contrary legally appears. when IN innocent man In
on trial for capital felony. his life s In peril The
duty Of preserving en- innocent Life is higher. both
morally and legally. than that OF attending any
funeral Whatsoever It follows that when the mother
of Juror dies pending the trial OF capital case the
truo necessity which arises s absence from the fu-
neral not absence from the trial The Juror being set
npart and dedicated TO the work OF delivering the
accused from deadly peril 10 TO be regarded as in
far country or confined In chains which cannot be
broken"
The authority Of Judge WILMoT NJ. SMITH
in the case of THORN to discharge the Jury
on account Of Mr.. LARsEN's illness, and to
order the trial to proceed later before q new
jury, does not seem to have been questioned
by the counsel for the prisoner.
The District Attorney was doubtless wise
not to enter into any arrangement for con-
tinuing the trial with the eleven remain
ing Jurors and o new juror In the box.
Since the decision by the Court Of Appeals
in the celebrated case Of CANcEMr that the
defendant In a criminal prosecution tri-
able by jury cannot lawfully waive trial
by twelve jurors, there is great uncertainty
as to what other waivers may legally be
made by or in behalf of the prisoner.

that luxury until the weather made II a
necessity. Tho twin-screw steamer Mon
mouth happened at that time to be making
one Of her regular trips to Sandy Hook.
She chased the yacht, but the length
of time that she took to overhaul
her was surprise to every one who

fender, near the Southwest Spit, she saluted
her in the usual noisy manner, and the
salute was Immediately followed by cheers
from the passengers. They were all de-

1t is to be hoped that there is some ex-
