New York, March ia special cable
dispatch to the Journal from thens says:
The great pan Hellenic Society has decided
to give the signal for a general uprising of
the Greek race in the Ottoman empire. 1t
is also known that most OF the officers of
the Greek army now massed on the froI-
tier have bound themselves by oath not to
return without fighting. The army is now
practically beyond the control of the King
Civilized peoples of the world will recog-
niZe in few days that the combined Euro
pean powers have deliberately forced the
Greek nation into war to escape dinhonor.
Yesterday the minister OF foreign affairs
notified the Chamber of Deputies that the
six powers had informed the government
that on Sunday morning at O'Clock an
active blockade of the whole island of
Crete would begin, and after that no YES
sci carrying the Greek flag viii be per
united to pass the line of the blockade
Vessels OF other nations will only be
allowed to enter the line after being
searched for war materials. The shameful
feature OF this scheme OF coercion is that
Turkish vessels are not shut out, but may
pass the blockade on even terms with those
of other nations.
The excitement in Greece is beyond de-
scription. Itis plain that Russia is leading
the powers to force the Greek government
into an involuntary and hopeless war.
Russia stands ready TO advance and seize
whatever she can when the crash comes.
The powers refuse TO see that they are
leaving Greece no option but to fight.

The Turkish army in Macedonia occupies
a commanding position, with 10000 in
fantry massed on the hills facing the noun

FROM THE FAR SOUTH SEAS.
The Tropic Bird Brings News of the
Rebellion I'm Tahiti.

San Francisco. March 19.-The barken-
tine Tropic Bird has arrived from Tahiti
after fair run OF thirty days. Two days
before the vessel sailed the gUnboat Du-
quay Crousin arrived from the seat Of war
in Raiatea and Tahae. She reported that
the rebels are being steadily drivep back,
but nevertheless more men and ammunition
were required, and the gunboat had come
for them.
The French flag, which had been torn
down at the commencement Of the rebellion,
had been replaced, but the natives were
still in force and seemed determined to
hold out to the bitter end. Many con-
flicts between the rebels and the French
troops have occurred, but thus far the losses
have not been great.
From the men on the Troptc Bird 1t was
learned that the fighting was regular bush
warfare. and that the rebels were fairly
holding their own. II driven from one
point they took quarters In another, and
awaited another opportunity to descend
upon the troops. All the volunteers and
thereseryes had been ordered out, and were
to leave for the scene OF action at once
on the gunboat. Troops have been brough ht
from New Caledonia, and most vigorous
attempt.is to be made TO put down the re-
bellion onoe and forever.

mjstic Regarding a Clash.

London, March 19.-The Chronicle to-
day states that its special commissioner,
Mr.. Henry Norman, has returned to Athens
from Thessaly. He records that the Greek
officers in command OF the troops on the
frontier are calmly determined. They
have no optimistic illusions regarding the
Turkish forces which may at any moment
be pitted against them They fully real
ize that IL it comes to war the forces of
Greece may suffer defeat. They do not
display the slightest sign of bravado, but
are prepared TO sacrifice their lives at the
behest of their country.
Hitherto Mr.. Norman says, the feeling
OF the Greeks toward the powers has been
surprise and pain that they should attempt
TO defeat the aspirations of Greece. Now
it is one Of bitter resentment and anger.
He advises the German cruiser Kaiserin
Augusta to avoid the vicinity OF the Greek
fleet in the event of hostihties occurring,
which, he says, a blockade of the Greek
ports will certainly precipitate. A Turk
ish torpedo boat and a torpedo boat
destroyer, which are believed to be off,
cered by Germans, are off one of the north
ern islands OF Greece A Greek fleet is
watching them, and il events warrant their
capture, the German officers will receive
short shrift.
Mr. Norman asserts that the Greek and
Turkish armies on the frontier are nearly
equal in numbers. The Greeks have a
slight advantage in infantry, but the Turks
have a material advantage in artillery,
though they are lacking in horses. Some
OF their guns are drawn by oxen.

from the Cass district court the court
declares:
Contracts for grain. where the intention Is
merely speculation on the chances of the rise
or fall of the market and no delivery is intend
cd are gambling contracts AMI void. 1t is not
enough to render the contract void that the
buyer intends 1t as gambling contracts, unless
the seller participates in that intention That
Is, II in the case ut the bar the defendant, In
ordering the purchase OF oats only intended
speculation upon margins without the delivery
OF grain, and the plaintiff purchased the grain
for actual delivery, 1t would not be gambling
