European Press Unanimous That Turkey
Asks Too Much.
LONDON, May 19.-The harmony o.
the European press on the subject of the
conditions of peace is remarkable. The
semi-official papers, The Times, The
Novoo Vremya, The Temps, The North
German Gazette and The Fremdenblatt,
are as one i'll the vigorous terms in
which they denounce Turkeys preten-
sions. Now that the last obstacle to a
speedy armistice is removed by Ger
many, which temporarily blocked the
negotiations, having instructed her am
bassadors at Constantinople, Baron Won
a-Jeitsch, to join the other am
bassadors in pressing upon the
porte the necessity of. agreeing
upon an ar1nistice, it can he
taken for granted that, with the innu-
merable forms Of coercion ready to the
hands of the powers, the sultan will
yield to the inevitable within day or
two, especially as the capture Of the
Greek positions at Domokos will go far
to satisfy the Turkish war party. An
order telegraphed to Edhem Pasha to
cease hostilities probably indicates that
the Turkish government is about to
yield to the demands Of the powers.

Entirely False.

Arrive at Bismarck for
Safe Keeping
Officers of the Opinion That
the Evidence Will Hang
All Five Reds.

BISMARCK, N. D., May 19.-Dcfender,
the last Of the Indians arrested for COM
plicity in the Spioer murder was brought
to this city from Winona last night. Hd
has been in the guardhouse at tho
agency since his arrest, and has been
brought here for safe keeping. He is a
iull-blooded Indian, married and has
several children. He talked freely with
the officers who brought him here, and
denies all completely in the crime. He
says the story told by Holy Track is a
lie from beginning to end, so far as he
is concerned. Defender was brought
from Standing Rock in broad daylight
and was taken directly through tho
town of Winona, where the crime was
committed, but no violence was at
tempted, the residents Of that place be-
ieving that all the men will meet proper
punishment in court, and that it is best
for the law to take its course. The off.
GERS in charge Of the case stated that
they did not believe there was a particle
Of doubt that enough evidence would be
produced at the trial to convict all five
men Of murder.

Granting Of the .Ar,nistlce an Important
Step, Says Salisbury.
p LONDON, May 19.-Spealdng at tho
Junior Constitutional club Lord Salis'
bury touched briefly on the comphca'
lions in Southeastern Europe.
. :. The premier said he regretted that
political reasons precludcd him from
saying much on the subject Of foreign
affairs.
The armistice which had been de-
clared was due to pressure exerted by
six powers, especially Russia. 1t was a
very important step, giving time tor re-
Election and negotiation, but it did noS
seriously diminish the difficulties which
had to be faced.
"Tho popularity Of this strange cri'
sis," said Lord Salisbury, ''is that tho
war cannot be left to work out its nat
ural results. It is impossible that
Europe should allow Christian commu-
mites to fall under the s,lltan's govern

that, because this doctrine throws its

be free from all penalties attaching to

Notable Speeches on the Gu
ban Question Delivered
in the Senate.
Illinois Man Favored Reco9nl-
ton and His Colleague
Opposed 1t.
Conferees on the Indian Ap-
preparation Bill Roach an
Agreement.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Cuba again
occupied the foreground in the senate.
It drew large crowds to the galleries,
and brought two notable speeches, the
one by Mr.. Mason Of Illinois in favor Of
the Morgan resolution and the other BY
Mr.. Hoar Of Massachusetts in opposition
to it.
The Illinois senator pictured in fervid
terms the distress in Cuba, dwelling
particularly on the starving condition Of
COO United States citizens, as reported
by the president, and called upon the
senate to throw off its lethargy and pass
the Morgan resolution. Mr.. Mason had
several sharp tits with Mr.. Wellington
Of Maryland, the latter protesting that
He Was Being MisreYrescnted. y.-,
It led to considerable connection in the
galleries, during which Mr.. Wellington
declared that he could not be choked of
by the rudeness of the galleries. -
Mr.. Hoar spoke in his usual calm and
dignified style and took occasion to de-
ride buncombe appt$ls to constituents
and braggad0cio as to our national
strength. NJ. Hoar's criticisms, al
though impersonal, were clearly aimed
at Mr.. Mason. Senators Gallinger OF
New Hampshire and Hawley OF Con-
necticut also spoke, the former for the
resolution and the latter urging that the
United States should not rush into war
while our coast defenses are manifestly
Inadequate.
