feat"
LONDON, May 18.-The Daily Chron-
icle's correspondent at Athens sends
the following official account of the
fighting at Domokos:
Over $4,000 Turks simultaneously
and continuously attacked our whole
line. Our artillery and infantry did
splendid work. Twice all the regi-
ments Of the enemy wavered and fed,
though their attack was soon renewed
with fresh forces, which in turn we
were able to hurl back.
The stubborn resistance and splendid
vigor of our troops finally compelled
the enemy to give way altogether. All
the attacks on our left were similarly
repulsed.
On our right we did not fare so we'll.
The first attack of the enem- we re.
pulsed, but they massed in immense
forces for the next attack. Our first
line wavered and was broken, and the
wing would have been turned but for
the timely arrival of the reserves.
Still the enemy had gained ground
which it was then impossible to regain,
and we therefore fell back on Bousi.
The Turks had $4,000 troops, with
&c, 900 reserves. Our force was only

demnity Of e1O,OOO,oOO (Turkish), and
the abolition of the capitulations.
The porte proposes that plenipoten.
tiaries Of the powers should meet at
Pharsalos to discuss the terms Of peace,
and declares that If these conditions
are declined the Turkish army will
continue to advance.
The demand for the annexation OF
Thessaly is based upon the fact that
the province was originally ceded to
Greece on the advice Of the powers
with the object of ending brigandage
and Greek incursions into Ottoman
territory, the porte believing at the
time that the cession would attain
these objects, but the recent incursions
of Greek bands and the events imme.
diately preceding the war have proved
to the contrary. This is the substance
of the reply.

WASHINGTON, May 18. President
Mckinley has sent the following mes.
sage to congress.
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives: ..
Official information from our consuls in
Cuba establishes the fact that large
number Of American citizens in the island
are in state of destitution, suffering for
want Of food and medicines.
This applies particularly to the rural
districts of the central and eastern parts.
The agricultural classes have been
forced from their farms into the nearest
towns where they are without work or
money. @,-..
The local authorities Of the several
towns however kindly disposed, are nn-
able to relieve the needs of their own peo-
pie, and are altogether powerless to help
our citizens.
The latest report of Consul General Lee
estimates 600 to 800 Americans without
means Of support I have assured him
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1897-05-22

low fever, smallpox and dysentery.
These diseases the natives Withstand
with comparative ease but they are
especially oppressive to the Spanish
soldiery.
The reports indicate that the Spanish
army is not so strong now as it was a
year ago, largely on account of these
ravages, while they indicate no dimu-
milton of the insurgent forces.
The reports upon which the sub.
committees brief was based were from
various consuls, including Consul Cen
eral Lee. They make no recommends
tions as to American policy but merely
give the situation as they see it.

DEATH OF JUDGE BdLDWIR
The Jurist Passes Away at Stockton
After an Illness of Two
Years.

STOCKTON, Dec. 4.-Judge Frank
Bald win, ex-Code Commissioner. died
this evening at his rooms in this CITY.
after an illness of two years. He wa,
stricken by paralysis on December 20
1895, while walking on Market street in
front Of the Palace Hotel in San Fran
cisco, and has been an invalid ever since
Occasionally he sIowed gns of improve
ment. but recently he wa, helpless and
his life was prolonged by stimulanl s.
He leaves a widow and two daughters.
Judge Baldwin was prominent LAWYER
of this county for many years and held
several political positions. In 1876 he was
elected BY the Democrats as Mavor of
Stock ton, and in 1882 was elected t. It e
State Senate. On the elevation of Jndre
Van r. Paterson to the Supreme bench in
1887, Mr.. Baldwin was appointed by Gov.
ernor Irwin TO fill the unexDired term on
the bench of the Superior Court of this
county. Judge Baldwin was one of the
delegates TO The national convention tina (
nominated Samuel Tilden for the Presi-
dency in 1876.
The funeral will be he'd Monday after.

erence to their treatment there and their
right to come into the United States from
there. l am opposed to reopening this
question, which has been set led.
Besides all this the inha bitants of the
islands ara not such as are desirable to be
incorporated into our Government. OF
their inha bIants only about 1000 are
Americans. while the residue are natives,
Japanese, Portuguese and Chinese, all Of
whom are thoroughly unsuited for citizen
ship. 1t would be more than n century
before these people could be educated and
civilized so they could be vested with
citizenship.
Thus annexation would mean either the
prolongation of territorial government
with all of the local affairs controlled
from Washington or else the admission
into this Union of these islandS as a State
l am opposed 10 this country acquiring
any terri DRY which is not intended very
soon to be formed and admitted as a State
into the linton. For territor al govern
ment besides being unsatisfactory 10 the
people of the territory is pernicious to the
Federal Government. The admission of
Hawaii as a State sim ply means the add
ton OF a rotten borough to staten God, with
two Senator'S controlled absolutely by the
few persons who control the sugar inter
ests of these islands. This would be a
great wrong upon the other great States
of the Union and can but be injurious TO
the best interests of our country. l favor
the formation of no more rotten boroughs
into States.
Thus L can see no practical benefits
which would come from annexation, but l
see much that is Objectionable and which
IS fraught with great expense and posi-
bilities of much loss to this country.
Sentiment and reed are the two forces
which favor annexation.
