LONDON, ENG, June 2-The situation
with reference to the Turko-Greek war is
still unsettled and neither side seems
willing to agree TO the terms of peace
proposed.
The Turks are evidently working for de-
lay in the hope that disagreements will
arise among the powers and cause them to
quarrel among themselves.
There is but one thing on which the
Turks seem to have definitely decided,
and that is to hold Thessaly They claim
that it is theirs by right of conquest and
they will not yield it up unless the powers
make q very determined stand.
All reports concur in stating that an
agreement 10 prClong the armistice be-
tween Turkey and Greece throughout the
peace negotiations will be signed to-mor-
row, after which negotiations will open.

nation received by the steamer Saltwater
from Guatemala and Honduras, as late as
last Thursday, is to the effect that every
thing is quiet in Honduras. General
Drummond, the insurgent chief, has not
been demanded by the British man-of-
war, as reported, but is prisoner at San
Pedro. He says he is a citizen of Hon
duras and don't claim any foreign protec-
ton. He thought his life would be spared
by his captors.
The insurrection has been suppressed
for the time being, but it is understood it
Will break out again soon. Its failure was
due to the fact that the promised uprising g
of Salvador and Nicaragua failed to ma
terialize. If the movement had been
sim ultaneous the Nicaragua troops could
not have relieved Porte Cortez and the in
surgents would have been successful.
The suppression of specie payment by
Guatemala has had no appreciable effect
upon trade or prices.

EPSON. ENG, June 2-The Derby was
won to-day by J. Gubbins' brown colt,
Galtee-More, by Kendall, out of Morgan
cite; VeIasquez was second and History
third.
The expectation that the crowd which
would be present at the Jubilee Derby, as
the race for the Derby stakes this year has
been termed, would eclipse all records in
point of numbers was not realized. The
weather was unfavorable and Galtee-
More's victory was a foregone conclusion.
The stakes are 5000 sovereigns, 800 to the
second and 200 to the third. The course
is a bout a mile and half.
Prime Minister led until half way down
the hill, when Oakdene drew to the
front, followed by GaItee- More. After
crossing the road Galtee-More assumed
the lead and won in a canter by two
lengths. Eight lengths separated the
second and third horses. Velasquez and

Oakdene, was fourth. 1t was anticipated
that Velasquez would get second place.
The rest of the starters were far below the
usual Derby form.

More seemed to be sailing home alone.
| VelasqueZ however, continued to gallon
on and got closer and closer TO the leader.

resignation tonight, gave an interesting
piece of news in stating that Canovas had
submitted = new and much more extern
sive scheme of home rule for Cuba than
any yet published.
He said it was such a form of Govern
ment as he himself would indorse for the
island, and that the Cubans would do
well to accept it. He said that Sa-
gasta himself could not offer any
broader scheme of political reform,
and it was possible that Sagasta
would put the project into execution, al
though it was originated by his prede-
cessor- Sherman said all pending nego-
tiations would be continued as though
the Ministry was unchanged.
