BREAK AWAY BY BOSS BUCK.
HE is TO SAIL FOR JAPAN ON THE
29TH INST.

He Will Have to start For Frisco
Some Time Next Week-A Big Row
in the Republican Camp Over the
Distribution of the LOaves and
FIshes-JudsOn Lyons and the Boss

RucIer Also on the War Path over
Bucks Attitude Toward the Inter-
nnI Revenue COlIectOrship.
Washington, May f3.-There is a big
row IN the Georgia republican camp over
the distribution of the Toaves and fishes.
and It Is said that Col Buck and Judson
Lyons have had a mix-up. It was an
nounced to-day that Col. Buck will start
for Japan much earlier than he origi-
nally intended, and the trouble arose over
some of his farewell Endorsements. He
still wants Maj. Smyth to be collector of
internal revenue, and the organization in
sists that Rucker, who was promised the
place, shall have the appointment.
The sudden determination OF Col. Buck
to sail from San Francisco on the 29th
instant renders 1t necessary that he shall
start across the continent some time next
week, because he desires TO spend several
days in San Francisco.
AS soon as 1t was known to the hungry
pie brigade that the colonel was making
ready to leave the country. every office
seeker here from Georgia made a break
for the colonels headquarters, and de-
manded that the Georgia pie should be
carved before the colonel started for

expecting daily to see his name among
the list Of presidential nominations. has
finally become aroused TO the idea that
Col. Buck may not want him to get ths
Augusta postmastership. The interview
between Col. Buck and Lyons is said to
have been quite animated.
Rucker is also on the war-path, because
he fears Col Buck intends to request the
President to give the internal revenue COL
lestorshp to Mai. Smyth Col Bucla
blandly denies that there is any trouble
in his political household, and explains
that he was obliged to change his plans
about starting for Japan because the
President and the Secretary Of State wish
him to stop at Honolulu on his way to
Japan, and look into the Hawaiian ques-
ton. It is reported that the Japanese
government Is anxious to annex the Ha-
walian Islands, and Secretary Sherman is
anxious that Col. Buck should familiar
ize himself with the situation before he
reaches Japan.
Howell Sewel. who has just been ap-
pointed United States minister TO Hawan.
sails on the 18th, and It Is desirable that
Col Buck should go with him. The
United States government has no idea OF
allowing Japan or any other nation to
annex Hawaii, and by calling upon Col.
Buck to aid Minister Sewell In looking
after Americas interests In those islands,
the administration pays the Georgia lead-
er a pronounced compliment.

The Greek Troops to Abandon Their

Turkish Army From COmmunica-
ton With EIassOna-War Prepara-

Scale at COnstantinOpIe Which Is
No Way to the Liking of the Pow
ers.
London May 1.-THE correspondent of
the Morning Post, at Domokos, under yes
terday's date says: 'It has been decided
to evacuate this position, and a large
number of troops have already left. 1t Is
freely asserted that the war is over.
am about to start for Athens"
The correspondent of the Standard at
Constantinople says: "Edhem Pasha has
wired to the porte that he is quite certain
of being able to capture Domokos and the
Greek army as we'll; and in response press
ing orders have been sent to the Turkish
staff to go ahead with the greatest energy,
regardless of diplomacy.
General military preparations continue
here on the largest scale"
London, May IA, a. m.-The situation
at the scene of hostilities appears to be
that Turkey is determined to occupy Do
mokos before consenting to an armistice
and that Greece is convinced Of the i'm
possibility of holding out against the Sc
rious attack which Edhem Pasha is pre-
pairing to deliver.
1t has been decided 20 evacuate Do
mokos and to fall back upon the old
frontier This plan will probably be car
lied out tomorrow, if it has not already
been accomplished and thus the way will
be opened for peace negotiations. The
powers are in no mood to yield to the de-
mands of Turkey. The war has had quite
an unexpected effect in revealing an
amazing military vitality IN the sultan's
dominions, which. is in no way to the HUI
nor of Russia or the other powers.
Hence the sultan will be reminded that
It was his original misgovernment that led
to the war; that only the influence of Eu-
rope has prevented general blaze in the
Balkans, and that it is therefore advisa-
bic for him to accept reasonable terms.
The activity of Turkish military prepara-
uons, which is no way abated by the dip
lomatic negotiations. may possibly be ex-
planned by the following statement of a
nigh Turkish official: "The Russians are
putting high price upon the moral sup
port they extended TO us during the Ar
menian troubles, but the demands now
made upon us are so exorbitant that their
acceptance would be tantamount to re-
signing our title as free nation"
