The Statesman last week called at
tention TO the fact that the Herald
said sugar would advance in price,
and therefore it did advance-because
the Herald said it would. 1t now
behooves us to inform the Statesman
that the trainers of the Dingley law
builded more wisely than we thought,
in that although the tariff on sugar
was advanced more than half cent a
pound, there has been but very
slight advance to the consumer. II
is simply another case OF the foreign
er paying the tax. We trust our
friend as the Democrat says, can
now see the point.

CAPTAIN STRONG MURDERED
Another Victim of 81 Mountain County
Feud in Kentucky.

LEXINGTON, KY, May 9-Captain Will
liam Strong, leader of the faction that bore
his name in the Strong-Amos and Strong
Callahan feuds which have cost more than
fifty lives in Breathitt county, was found
on the roadside near his home to-day shot
to death with seven bullet holes in his body
Two weeks ago he met Ed Callahan, leader
of the opposing faction in Judge Days
office at Jackson. where they shook hands
and declared the feud ended.
Strong was seventy-two years old, a cap
tain in the Federal army. After the war
the Amos family and their friends tried to
exterminate Strong and his friends They
besieged Strong in his house three days,
when Strongs nephew, with dozen other
soldiers, came to his rescue. A few nights
afterWard Strong and his men met the
Amos faction in an open meadow in the
moonlight. A fierce battle enSued, which
resulted in the death of one Amos and the
wOunding of several more. only one OF
Strong men was wounded. The Amos
family removed to Kansas after several
more of their men were killed. When the
Ku Klux rode in Breathitt county last year
CAPTAIN Strong denounced them in unmeaS-
ured terms and when it was told to him
that the Galatians were the leaders he made
war on them. In this war three men have
been killed. and the authorities, realzlng
that Breathitt county would witness an
other bloody mountain war, summoned the
leaders on both sides to appear before
County Judge Day. with the result that
peace was supposed to be restored
Strong's friends will never rest till this
murder is avenged.

Crock Army Disrupted.

LONDON MAY t0.-The Athens corre-
spondent of the Standard says: m. RaIli,
the premier, said to-day in the course OF
an interview that the spontaneous interven-
ton of the powers might be regarded as
assured as it was impossible for the gov
ernment to ask Intervention while the
Greek army remained intact Sir Ellis Ash
mead Bartlett had an interview with King
George to-day and was treated with great
kindness. This evening he proceeded to
Constantinople.
"The foreign legion fought heroically at
Phersala, losing about forty killed and
wounded. With five hundred Evzones the
legion resisted three thousand Turks, but
was ultimately forced to retreat over the
hill On reaching the valley they found
that the main body had abandoned them. ;"
A dispatch to the Morning Post from
Constantinople says it is probable that Tur-
key will demand war indemnity of over
A special to the Times from CONSTANT
nople says: Turkey will certainly claim a
fair allowance of the rights of a victor
and in this claim she viii be supported by
Russia and Germany"
The Daily Telegraph's Athens corre-
spondent says that Colonel Vassos told him
he had great difficulty in leaving Crete, as
all the foreign war ships were on the alert.
He departed from the island, he says, on
dark night, after passing the two prev
ious nights in a cavern.
The Constantinople correspondent of the
Standard says: THE Turkish military COM
mssioners held a prolonged conference
with the Sultan to-day at the Yildiz
Kiosk and decided to increase the troops
in European Turkey to 49,, coo men, a de-
cision ratified by the Sultan. In view Of

TREACHERY IN GREEK ARMY.
Sensational Exposures Regarding the
Many Retreats.

LONDON, May 9.-The Times CORE
spondent at velestino says: when the
troops here heard of the retreat from Pher-
sala they pronounced it betrayal. Certain-
ly, it is unfortunate that Crown Prince Con-
stantine should a second time be obliged to
begin retreat"
The Athens correspondent of the Times
says: 80 great is the change in public SEN
timent that no opposition whatever is pro-
voked by the decision TO recall the army
from Crete. King George, who was be-
lieved to be unapproachable on this subject.
has finally yielded with good grace.
The Journal Akropolis publishes some
startling revelations. 1t sent a corre-
spondent to Phersala to investigate the
cause of the retreat from Larssa, and he
was allowed to question the members of the
dismissed stan. Without exception they de-
MED that they had refused 10 carry out the
orders of the Cabinet, save on one occasion,
when the government wished to remove
some superior officers from their command.
On all other occasions the staff was in COM
plete harmony with the Cabinet. The min
listers had indeed ordered the army to re-
main on the defensive, but the staff consid-
ed that defensive position would be
most etfectually secured by advancing to
certain points. The officers positively de-
MED giving the order for the general re-
treat from Matt, and declared that they
we're not responsible for the abortive at
tack on MeneXe. They explained that the
retreat began with wholesale GeSeruOnS
fl lCm the division of Colonel Mavromichalis,
facing the Turkish position at DereI. Then
the panic spread. The staff was powerless
to check it, and reorganization to defend
Larissa was impossible. Nj Raili came to
headquarters during the night and begged
the staff to save the army
with reference to the retreat in Epirus
the papers print the following extraordi-
nary telegram from Colonel Bolseari:
" 1t is a disgraceful slander to say that
1 ordered the retreat My brigade had adj
vanced VIGOROUSLY to the gates of Janina.
Why it Tetreated is a question for a court
martial to decide, and the guilty parties
should be punished with DEATH. "

NEW ORLEANS May 9.-The river
gauge tonight is 1915 and the water is
steadily climbing higher. The southern
section Of the State enjoyed fine weather
to-day, but the upper portion had storms
TO contend with. Nevertheless, the levees
held their own in good style, work being
kept up steadily when needed. The Burton
leVee troubles are not yet over. Saturday S
break was about closed to-day, but a new
one has developed at the extreme southern
END and the large quantity of water pass
ing through is causing uneasiness. Both
breaks, however, are said to be under con-
troll. The police jury and City Council of
Baton Rouge have voted appropriations
and mass meetings were held calling on the
citizens TO meet the emergency Governor

among the speakers.

however, we met the captains of the foreign

that only one battalion would enter, the
