THE EASTERN SITUATION.
Same Old Story Comes From
st. Petersburg.
GREECE ACCUSED OF lNVENTlNG
STORIES TO TURN SENTI-
MENT AGAINST TURKEY.
New Governor OF Crete Will Be A

Will Remain Neutral Block
aie Details Arrangei-JO-
Seph'S Speech Approved.

New York, April IA dispatch to
the Herald from St Petersburg says:
The Russian consul at Janina writes
that it is perfectly untrue that he has
been ~insulted by the Turkish troops
,and that this story Is probably a
Greek invention
In reply to the Greek assertions that
the Macedonians will rise upon a de-
claration of war, the wish alone is
father to the thought. The Prince of
Bulgaria and Premier Stoutliff are
perfectly satisfied that no uprising
place if they ca nehdhpPnrichoreca3
shall take place if they can help it.
1t is perfectly true that in Bulgaria
there is a certain popular feeling every
spring towards the stirring up of
Macedonian excitement, but it is said
from thoroughly reliable sources that
Stoutliff is able to hold his own
against the opposition party. He con-
Siders that the wisest policy is to sup
port the prince and staunchly aid the
Powers because of peace now, in or
der that Bulgaria may have a strong
er claim later.
Servia is pledged to follow Bulgar-
las lead. Only in case of massacres
taking place will either of these two
powers move.
1t is stated that the new governor of
Crete will be Spanish official. The
NOvOe Nremya pertinently says:
Russia and England are agreed, but
there is once again fatal delay in
waiting for the assets of the powers.
1t will be necessary to give the new
governor the military and financial
resources"
All the details of the Greek blockade
are arranged
The emperor of Austria's speech is
warmly approved here.

DANGEROUS ICE IAN

Chippewa Falls, Wis., April 3.-An
ice jam containing 100000 logs came
down the Chippewa river, causing the
flooding of the lower part of the town.
A portion of River street was flooded
and merchants on that street were
compelled to make hasty departure.
The river rose six feet in half an
hour, but two hours later the
water receded rapidly, leaving the
flooded streets in the lower part of
the city in a badly demoralized condi-
ton. The entire mass of logs and ice
is now lodged against the Wisconsin
Central railroad bridge which it will
surely break out when the jam moves.
Intense excitement prevails.

ZiPs Little Revolt

ZiPs Little Revolt
New York, April ga dispatch to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
The government has received from
the Rothschilds in London congratu-
lations upon its decision to pay the
national debt in full, principle and in
terest. The bankers state that such
action will prove an excellent thing
for the prosperity of the country.
The Herald's correspondent in Mon
tevideo, Uruguay, telegraphs that 500
men have crossed the Brazilian border
into Uruguay to aid the insurgents.
The forces of SAINTS and Sarivia, in
surgent leaders, it is expected, will
reach to the north near the Brazilian
frontier to incorporate their troops
with the new bands from Brazil.
The Herald's correspondent in Rio
Janeiro, Brazil, telegraphs that the
government had ordered the cruiser
Tiradentes to proceed to Monterejeda.
The pressof Rio Janeiro demands that
reinforcement be sent to aid the Fed
eral troops in Bahia, the fanatics be-
ing still uncOnquered.

SHERMAN PROTESTS.
He Will Not See a, Prisoner of War
Brutality Murdered.

He Will Not See a, Prisoner of War
Brutally Murdered.
Chicago, April "a TimeS-Herald
Washington special says:
Secretary Sherman will protest
against the execution of General Ruiz
Rivera. the Cuban leader in Pinar Del
Rio. who was recently captured by
the Spanish forces. President McKin-
ley and Secretary Sherman discussed
the Rivera case and the latter, at the
presidents suggestion. has communi-
Gated with Senior De LONE, the Span
ish minister.
Secretary Sherman did not make
formal protest against the execution
of Rivera, but at the same time Sec
rotary Sherman wanted the Spanish
minister and his government to under
stand that the execution of Rivera
would not tend to promote good feel
ing for Spain in this country. Already
public opinion is much exercised over
the threat to shoot the prisoner and
if that threat is carried into eXecu-
ton indignation throughout the Unit
ed States might be so great as to en-
barrass the government. 1t is not
doubted that Senior De LONE cOmmun-
icated the substance of this informal
protest to his government and there
is reason for believing that the Span
ish authorities will cable orders to
Havana which will save Rivera'S life.

WON'T GIVE UP THE PRISONER

New York, April 3.-Deputy Sheriff
w. s. Sheppard, of Lenawee county,
Mich, who is here with papers for
the eXtradition of Anton Christensen.
said last night that he had a telegram
from Prosecutor John Bird. of Len
awee country, assuring District After
ney Olcott that Christensen would be
prosecuted if sent back TO Michigan.
The deputy sheriff was asked by Il
reporter why Sheriff Ferguson did
not come for Christensen. He smiled
and said:
Il guess he does not want to be
bothered by n trial just now. What
he did was honest and fair and ac-
cOrding to the law in Michigan. CHS
Jensen had 81 400 with him, and all
the sheriff took from him was $500.
Half of that was to settle the embeZ-
element charges: the other half was
for expenses. If he and Assistant
Prosecutor Sampson were acting lille
gally they would have taken more
from Christensen. Prosecutor Bird and
Sheriff Ferguson are the best known
men in Lenawee county. They are
both wealthy and were elected to Of
flee last year. Both of them polled
more votes than Mckinley did in the
county and their Indictment by the au-
thOrites here has attracted a great
deal of attention in the county"
Mr.. Sheppard made practically the
same statement to District Attorney
Olcott who informed him that he had
no power to turn Christensen over to
him.

Capt. Simpson, of the c. & I. police force
at Jeanesville, arrived in town yesterday with
a warrant issued by Justice Baily, of McAdoo,
for the arrest of one George Adamscher. In
company with Constable ciblon he went to
VIM. Penn and arrested the man while he
was at work in the mines. The prisoner was
taken handcuffed to McAdoo to answer a
charge Of assault and battery preferred by
his wife. He beat the woman last Friday
night at VIM, Penn, giving her two fearful
black eyes. Saturday morning, after her hus-
band had gone to work, the woman left home
with her infant child and a few personal
effects and went to McAdoo to join her bro
Their. Upon arrival there the woman was
persuaded to prosecute her brutal husband.
1t is the third time since last october that
the man has maltreated the woman. Once
he was prosecuted before Justice Green, at
VIM Penn, and subsequently before Justice
Cardin, in town. In both instances the
woman settled the suits and returned home
with her husband. The third beating seems
to have been the straw for the woman's for
bearance,

The CoaI Trade.

The anthracite coal trade is in the condi-
ton of between seasons dizziness which
usually prevails at this period of the year.
The last week of December and the first
week Of January are generally occupied in
clearing up around the collieries, making re-
pairs to the breakers and in doing other
''dead-work" in and about the mines, and
consequently there is comparatively little
coal mined in those two weeks. The coal
dealers, both wholesale and retail, have
been engaged for the past fortnight in taking
account of stock and closing up their affairs
for the past year, and there has, therefore,
been little new business doing recently.
From now until spring the demand for an
thracite coal will continue to be regulated
wholly by the conditions of the weather.
While the prices for coal at competitive points
are being pretty well maintained by the
larger producing and transporting interests,
yet the needs of some operators, and the
excessive accumulation of stock in the hands
of others govern the amount of shading from
the circular prices that is being done and
which ranges from 20 to 70 cents per ton,
particularly at tidewater shipping points.
