Athens, May 9.-The correspondent

promised in their replies to use their

AS a matter of fact, Turkey continues
to send troops from Salonica homeward,
and it is probable that Osman Pasha
has returned to Constantinople from
Salonica. In view of both facts, 1t may
be assumed that nothing serious is ex-
pected, but the continuance of state
of war is regarded as the very best
means of fastening the efforts of dip
lomacy.
Without doubt hopes have been raised
in Turkey that the Ottoman govern
ment might annex Thessaly and restore
the old frontier of 1881. But the sultan
is not inclined to risk such a step. On
the contrary, he opposes l. uncompro-
misingly, and will not yield to the pres

TURKS OCCUPY TOLO,
Edhem Pasha Promises to Protect the In
habitants Who Remain.

Volo, May 9.-The correspondent of
The Associated Press, describing the
entry of the Turkish troops says;
"Edhem Pasha sent a flag of truce
with a proclamation that he would pro-
tect all inhabitants remaining in the
town. A touching scene ensued. In
the principal street an i1nnlt nse crowd
gathered, with anxious upturned faces
listening to the reading of the procla-
nation which was to decide their fate.
When the reading was finished, a mur-
muir of intense relief was heard
throughout the dense throng, quickly
followed by frantic shouts of Long live
the Sultan,
but there still remained cause for
the most serious anxiety; for the ques-
ton was, then, whether the Greek ad-
miral, whose ships were lying off the
town and in plain sight, would accept
Edhem Pasha's terms. A single gun
shot from the fleet would have COM
PEELED the Turks to treat Volo as hos
tile.
Three newspaper men, myself among
them, were appointed deputation to
go on board the flagship and get the
admiraPs reply. We bore a white flag.
At the quay, however, we met the cap
tains of the foreign warships with a
written communication from the ad-
miral saying that he intended to remain
In front Of the town until assured that
it would be occupied quietly.
"To this the Turkish commander re-
piled that only one battalion would en-
ter the main army going into camp
outside, and he again requested that the
Greek fleet be withdrawn, as otherwise
he could not be responsible for what
might occur"
London, May IA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Volo says that as a
result Of the proclamation of Edhem
Pasha to use one battery on condition
| that the Greek fleet be withdrawn, the
Greek admiral has been ordered to
leave forthwith. Volo has been occu-
pied by Turkish force of six thousand.

TIME BICYCLE RACES.
The Sunday Contests in San Francisco
Well Attended But Very Tame.


Well Attended But Very Tame.
San Francisco, May 9.-The bicycle
races at the Veleodrome to-day were
well attended, but the sport was rather
tame and with the exception of the
two-thirds mile, professional, failed to
arouse enthusiasm on the part of the
spectators.
The final of this event resulted in a
spirited contest. Zeigier was the first
to catch the pace-maker, closely fol-
lowed by Jones and Davis. The latter
two by clever manouvering, succeeded
In dislodging the Little Demon" from
the coveted position on the fifth lap
and before the latter could straighten
himself out for the final sprint Jones
and his team mate We're a dozen yards
in advance of him. Jones Won by two
lengths, while Davis just lasted long
enough to beat Zeigler for the place.
The two mile post race, professional
proved a farce. Zeigler Immediately
secured the first four posts, but Jones
and Davis resorted to team work, and
as a result Davis secured a lead of fully
half a lap. 1t was practically impossi-
BILE to catch him at this stage and he
secured the six posts and won.

members of the dismissed staff. With

the army to remain on the defensive;
but the staff considered that defen-

secured by advancing to certain points.
The officers positively denied giving the

They explained that the retreat began

with reference to the retreat in
Epirus the papers print the following
extraordinary telegram from Colonel

question for court martial to decide;

THE LE0NA'S FEARFUL TRIP

One of the Mallory Line Boats-Her Cargo,

New York, May 10.-The Mallory line
steamer Leona, which left her pier on
Saturday, bound for Galveston, put
back and arrived in port to-day with
sixteen coEpses on board. The dead
were thirteen steerage passengers and
three of the crew on the steamer which
succumbed in terrible struggle dur

dead were penned up below decks, and
although frantic efforts were made by
the officers of the vessel to save them
the fire had such terrific headway be-
fore the flames were discovered that all

The steamer carried among her car

started in some jute bagging in the
foreward hold, and when it was dis
covered the flames burst forth with
such fury that it was impossible to
reach the steerage. Even then the
steerage passengers apparently were
unmindful Of the danger, or else the
smoke and flames had not reached
them. The saloon passengers We're frs
aroused, and in such a manner as tc

apparent that the fire had cut off the
steerage passengers the captain ant
his men poured great quantities of wa

eight of the steerage passengers made
their escape.

Washington, May 9.-There Is no GER

the senate during the present week.
The Morgan Cuban resolution probably
will be taken up Monday, and it may
lead to prolonged and spirited debate.

agreement of the conference will be
generally acquiesced in.
The house program of three days ad-

The sundry civil appropriation bill has
passed the senate and now returns to
the house for action on the amendment.
The program pursued when the Indian
bill came back to the house will be fol-
lowed in the case Of the sundry civil
bill. That is, the amendments will be
considered in the house before the bill
will be sent to conference. There is a
good deal Of bitter feeling among the
house factions which may break as
soon as opportunity for debate is given
and some very lively oratorical displays
are expected. The conference report on
the Indian appropriation will also be
ready for consideration before the week
closes.

Necessity.

Athens, May 9-The telegraph is still
working to Domokos, and the latest
dispatch says that the Turks are half
way between Pharsalos and Domokos,

The union between Crete and Greece
is now an actual fact, and nothing is
lacking but the consent of Europe. The
foreign admirals recently asked my au-

beyond the zone previously occupied.
The powers may do what they like. The
union of Crete and Greece is inevitable
and a necessity"

vorable auspices.
Sandy Hook was passed and the

time we passed Barnegat Light, at II
o'clock, all the passengers were in bed.
The passengers in the steerage had
also retired to their hunks. The watch
going off at IL o'clock reported every
thing well and no suspicion of any fire
or any trouble. The sea was very
smooth and there was no wind. The
moon was shining brightly.
First Mate Wallace was pacing the
bridge about 2 a. M, when he thought
he smelled smoke coming from the fore
castle. He went down the forward to
the companionway and opened the door
TO the steerage. The moment he did
this there was burst of flame which
burned his face.
Wallace turned and ran on deck and
cried the alarm of fire to the forward
watch, telling him to awaken the stew

ed as quickly as possible. The steward
did this in a quiet manner. He said
