SHORT ON SHIPS.
Lack OF American Vessels TO Garry
Aid to India.

Al0
Washington, May 10.-The navy de-
partment has had so much trouble in
securing ships to carry the contribu-
tions of grain from this country to
India that IL now has under considera-
ton the propriety of appealing TO con
gress TO amend the resolution under
which IL is proceeding. That resolution
requires the grain TO be carried in an
American vessel il happens that there
are very few American steamers cut
side of the regular lines. and the de-
partment is unable TO comply with the
terms of the act unless Il turns TO
sailing ship. Such ship could not
reach Bombay in much less than 80
months, by which time the famine suf-
ferers for whom the relief is intended
might be expected 10 be either starved
to death or in possession OF new crops
of rice. Unless, therefore, an Ameri-
can steamer can be procured Mt New
York within the next few days IL is
probable congress will be asked to re-
move the injunction and allow the de-
partment TO charter n steamer OF an
other nationality, which may be al
lowed to carry the American flag for
the occasion.

THE FAIL or DoMoKos.

GreeI1s Sustain Another Crushing
Defeat at Hands of the Turks.
London, May 1s.--The Turks have cap
tured Domokos, utter one Of the fercest
battles of modern times. About 10000
troops were engaged. The fighting con-
tinued from noon until nine o'clock
Monday evening. Reports thus far re-
ceiyed are from Greek sources only, but
it is feared that the left wing Of Prince
Constantine's army has been destroyed.
London, May 1s.-The Daily Tele-
graphs special correspondent with the
Turkish forces In Thessaly says: Ed
hem Pasha has moved on from point to
point and finally occupied Domokos.
The Greeks have sustained crushing
defeat.
Says Turks Were Hepulsed.
Athens, May 49, - Dispatches sent
from Domokos say that the Greek left
wing has fallen back toward the center
before thrice the number OF Turks The
battle continued after sunset, but, de-
spite the yielding Of the left wing, the
Turks were finally repulsed. Gen.
Aiavromichalis was wounded.
A Foolish Move.
London, May 1s.-The latest news
from the seat Of hostilties, by way OF
Athens, shows that the battle Monday
ceased about nine o'clock in the even
ing, but will probably be resumed this
morning Thus far no account of the
fighting has been received from the
Turkish side. 1t is evident from the
Greek account that the Greeks have suf-
fered a serious defeat, and IL the left
wing has given way, as appears prob
able, Edhem Pasha may be able to cut
off Greek retreat and separate Gen.
Smolensld, at Sourpi, from the main
army.
This is Edhcm Pashn's reply 10 the
foolish attempt OF Col. Manos TO snatch
victory in Epirus II Greece had pre-
vented Manos from playing this last
card of gambler. Turkey might per-
hnps have ceased hostilities. AS il is
now, shcisin full possession OF Thessaly,
and the powers will find the task OF
protecting Greece more difficult than
ever.
The dispatches from Athens repre-
sent the populace as astounded when
the news Of the fighting came. They
had hoped to the last that the powers
would prevent Turkey from going fur
Their. One report represents the Greek
government as threatening TO take cx-
treme and desperate steps unless Eu-
rope arrests the progress of the IN
vaders.

GREENCASTLE, Ind, Oct. M.-The game
of football between De Paw and Notre
Dame, at Notre Dame on Saturday, which
resulted III a victory for the latter by the
small score of to 0, gives the De Pauw
supporters great encouragement In the
first half Notre Dame did not score, though
they outweighed De Pauw an average
of from twelve to fifteen pounds to the
man. In the second half Notre Dame
kicked off and sent the ball to near the De
Paw goal line, where it was fumbled, and
with but few yards to gain Notre Dame
pushed the ball over for touchdown, miss
ing goal De Paw presented a crippled
team, Williamson as tackle and Medley as
full back back being out on account of in
juries and illness. With these in De Paw
might have won, as the fatal tumble was
made by one of the men taking Neeley's
place.
The negotiations between Purdue and De
Pauw for another game, to be played at
Indianapolis, is off, Purdue declining to
play again. This is regarded by De Paw
supporters as being done largely through
fear of the Methodists, as the Purdue team
is receiving some unmerciful drubbings this
season, and De Pauw is confident she can
finally take a fall out Of the boiler makers
If given another chance. The De PAW
players regard the Notre Dame team as
stronger than Purdue, and the fact that
Notre Dame was enabled to score but once
is received here with great satisfaction. The
next month will be put in by De Paw in
active practice and in good hard games
preparing for the final Thanksgiving game
with their old rivals, Indiana University,
to be played in this city.
