NO DECISION FOR SOME TINE.
Assistant Attorney General Tyner tc
Consider the Wedderburn Cnsc

AHSfsfant AttOrney GenernI Tyner to
Consider the Wedderburn Case.
1t will probably be couple of weeks be-
fore Assistant Attorney General Tyner is
ready to make decision in the case of
Wedderburn < Co, who have been called
on to show cause why a fraud order, de-
priving them of the use of the mails should
rot be issued. The hearing of testimony
and arguments of counsel in the case was
closed yesterday afternoon.
Before an opinion is rendered General
Tyner will go through all the evidence that
has been placed before him, and as this
evidence is embodied in over a thousand
typewritten pages of testimony taken be-
fore the patent office, together with a
large number of exhibits, considerable time
will be consumed.

transIating the cy y T.ole dispatch

night from Unit& -ates Miniser Ter
ril at COnstantinOPIe. The result was
/ the following official statement:
The Department of State has receiv-
ed a dispatch from the United States
Minister TO Turkey concerning the rupt-
ure of relations between that country
and Greece, and the Turkish declaration
Of war. Mr.. Terrill states that the Min
lister from Greece has been informed
that he must leave before next Wednes-
day He is not permitted to cOmmuni-
cate by telegraph with the Greek gov
ernment. There are perhaps about 40
600 men subjects of Greece in Turkey.
All subjects Of Greece are required to
leave in fifteen days. The note to the
Porte Of the foreign powers dismlaims
any desire for territorial acquisition.
The Greek Minister Informs Mr.. Terrell
that the Greek government requires all
subjects of Greece of military age re-
served for military duty. The Turkish
government claims that regular Greek
troops seized and were fortifying Ano-
lipsis in violation of the agreement pro-
hibiCing it. hence an attack there by the
Turks on the 10th. Turkish troops are
scattered along the border of Thessaiy
and cannot quickly concentrate for de-
cisive battle. This may enable the
Greek army to fight them in detail"
Another and belated despatch from
AIr. Terrell was also given out at the
State Department. 1t bears date Of Sat
UrGay from Pera. the diplomatic su-
burb of COnstantinople. and in it Mr..
Terrell confirms the press reports of
the iniual stages of the breaking out Of

ties of troops from Greece had invaded
the Turkish province of Macedonia.

patch was sent.

here. communications have been in pro-
gress 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 Cretan waters and go in the direc-
ton of Salonica and the Dardanelles TO
watch the fighting. with a view to local
izing 1t if necessary by naval interven-
tion. Should this suggestion. which is
understood to emanate from the Italian
foreign Office be acted upon it is probable
that only half the fleet of foreign war
ships would be withdrawn for such a pur-
pose. the other half remaining to continue
the Cretan blockade.
There is said to be sharp difference of
opinion between the military powers.
Russia. Austria-Hungary and Germany,
and the maritime powers, Great Britain.
France and Italy, as to the most eXpedi-
tious and less violent methods of compell
ing a cessation of hostilities. should this
result not be reached by the exercise of
diplomatic pressure at Athens and Con-
stantinople. The likelihood is that the
force to be employed by Europe, if a re-
sort to force becomes necessary, would be
by sea, as the contingencies of military
Intervention might be more serious than
the hostilities now in progress.
Ii is reported at the foreign Office that
the communications received here to-day
from the Marquis of Salisbury, after his
interview with Queen Victoria at Nice
support the theory that the British gov
ernment is using its utmost energy to per-
suade both combatants to make a cessa-
ton of the conflict at the stage which it
has now reached

Terrell Not Asked to Protect Greeks

Terrell Not Asked to Protect Greeks.
Washington April 19. The President
is taking an active interest in the strug-
gle between the Greeks and the Turks,
and is being constantly advised by the
Department of State as to the latest
developments in the war. He wishes
to ensure the adoption of all proper
and usual precautions for the prOtec-
tion of all American interests in the
Mediterranean. Secretary Sherman
came over to the White House this af-
ternoon and the President Immediately
left all other business to confer with his
premier on the subject. Secretary
Sherman previously had a long talk
with Mr.. Angel, who, being about to
start for Turkey the latter part of May
is naturally deeply concerned in the de-
velopment of events in that turbulent
quarter.
With the feet of American warships
now off Inc Turkish shore, it is felt
that all prudence could prescribe has
been done. 1t may be that within
short time some question will arise that
will involve action of some sort on our
part. arising, perhaps, from attempts by
both Turks and Greeks TO blockaue
each others ports. which possibly might
interfere with the Introduction Of some
American products, but at present this
IS remote contingency.
None of Minister Terrell's cablegrams
so far received verify the assumption
that he has undertaken the protection
of the Greek residef1s in Turkey, ana
il is now believed that the basis was
misinterpreted cablegram. On the
whole. the authorities are glad that the
report is not supported, for though such
q request could not well be declined,
it is remembered that our ministers IN
China and Japan, and the State Depart
ment as well. became involved in mess
when they undertook the protection OF
the Chinese and japanese through the
killing of several Japanese students,
and there is always risk that trouble
NAV follow the assumption Of such re-
sponsibility.
Admiral Selfredge has cabled the
Secretary of the Navy a request to nave
