San Antonio Texas, Tuesday, May II, 1897

struck the shrine and demolished it.
The men in the rear of the column
were obliged to pray on the spot where
the shrine had been.
News came from the left that the
Turks had tried to turn the flank and
failed.
The Turks formed on the right and
moved slowly across the plain and the
battery of howitzers opened on them.
1 saw troops moving to the road to
prevent a possible flank attack in the
direction of Volo.
The fight on the plain to the right
began. Masses of Turkish troops like
shadows, moved slowly forward toward
the Greek trenches indicated by gray
line sof smoke. Shots began to rake
the trenches on the hill and to also
break the battery in the rear. hoped
the Greeks on the plain would hurry
and drive the Turks from their posi-
ton. They did it CALAMITY in a short,
ferociOus infantry fight. The bit of
woods where the fighting occurred,
seemed on fire. There was a great
rafting and banging and then the
Turks went out defeated. There was
general rejoicing all along the Greek
line, the officers walked proudly; the
men in the trenches grinned. Then,
mind you, just at this time, late in the
afternoon, after another successful day
came the order of retreat.
Smolenski had apparently received
the brunt of the fighting. Yet the CEN
ter and left near Karldjah and at
Pharsalia had again retired. No one
could explain it. we We're not aware
of the situation they faced, but it
seemed an extraordinary order.
They say Smolenski wept. l went
down to see the retreat. A curious
thing was that the Turks seemed to
understand the order as quickly as we
did. They moved up their batteries
whit startling rapidity
The retreat was not disorderly, but
the Greeks were sullen. A regiment of
Evzones, 1000 strong, came down to
cover the retreat and in the twilight
frightened by Turkish shells, the
Greeks slowly withdrew.

ton demanding the control of the ten

THE LEVEE SCARE.

New Orleans, May 11.-With a slight
ly falling river and fine weather the
levee excitement is greater than at
any previous time. The Baton Rouge
break at the Burton Lumber mills ma
turally holds first place. Another
break this morning will make it doubt
full if the levee can be built around the
danger spots or whether the whole of
the upper portion of the POntchertrain
line, running from Baton Rouge to
New Orleans will be in danger by back
water. The latest news from the break
in the Burton levee, received this
shows that a large force of
men are at work there and the hope
Is entertained that the flow of the riv-
er will be checked before night. The
situation in Bayou La Fourche, where
many rich sugar plantations are stu
ated, has grown more critical and after
today no steamers will be allowed to
enter this stream.

AFTER INSURANCE MEN.

Topeka, Kas., May 1-Webb Nc
Nall, state superintendent of insurance
has addressed letters to all general fire
insurance agents in Kansas informing
them that the respective companies

JUDGE LYNCH WILL PRESIDE
If the Three Escaped Prisoners are
Captured Again, as Public
Feeling is High.

NopNuiSu ASdlIs as tuDnC
Feeling is High.
Phoenix, Ariz., May 11.-Four posses
are now searching for the three es-
capped prisoners from the prison at
Prescott, who accomplished Jail de-
livery Sunday by shooting two officers
in their flight. Lee Norris, the young
assistant attorney, shot by the pris-
oners, died last night. His death has
greatly inflamed the public feeling
against the prisoners who will prob
ably be lynched if caught. This feel
ing is intensified on account of the
passing by the Legislature of a law
which virtually acquits all murderers
where the crime is committed prior to
the passage of the law. Two prisoners
now in Jail here who have been con-
victed and sentenced to death were
afterward granted a new trial by the
Supreme court and another whose trial
has not yet taken place will be clear
ed through the operation of the law.
The law was enacted defining murder
and providing punishment and all
form of laws are repealed without a
saving clause excepting the cases then
pending. From forty to fifty murders
have been committed in this county
during the past six or seven years
without extreme punishment.
