Rhodes is Honored.

New York. April pa dispatch to
the World from Capetown says: Cecil
Rhodes reception here on his return
from England was in the nature of an
ovation. He was presented with an
address by the citizens, which was in
part as follows:
I'VE take unbounding satisfaction in
assuring you that the feeling expressed
in the great demonstrations that have
taken place here have not only been
retained. but have deepened in the
hearts of the people. We cannot re-

the gravest apprehensions of political
movements within the colony, the OBJ

true and lasting peace. Your presence
is absolutely essential and we earnest
ly hope that your further services will
add brilliancy to your illustrious
career

CAPTURE OF DAMAsI.

It Puts the Greeks in a Particularly
Good Humor.
Athens. April 2O-The news of the
capture of Damasi puts a new COM
ples,ion upon the situation on the FROM
tier, and is a great encouragement to
the government and is likely to have
the most exhilarating effect upon the
spirits of the Greeks, who had been
greatly depressed by the reverses of
their troops at Milouna. This success
and the fact that the fall of Prevesa
seems imminent virtually offsets the
calamity of Milouna II the govern
ment divisions effect a union at Da-
mast. as is expected, there is almost
nothing in their way for a prompt ad-

army. This seems to have been the
object of Greek strategy.

seems probable. and occupy the town

with the bombarGing warships, the
royal road TO Janina wiz be open and
the Turkish troops in Epirus placed at
the most serious disadvantage. The
strategic value Of PreVesa 20 the Turk

as it remains in the hands of the 4
Turks It makes possible a steady line /
OF munitions and food supplies.
With Prevesa in the hands of the 4
Greeks this line would be promptly 1

Natchez. Miss, April 2O.-A dismal
tale of woe from Bayou Videl, in the
lower portion of Mission parish, has
reached here. The water from the
Biggs crevasse caught the people there
unprepared and unaware of danger.
Word was sent out from that locality
requesting that boats be sent there at
once as the people were drowning.
How many were actually drowned is
unknown. but Thomas Blackman. his
wife and infant are known TO have
been drowned and t. P. Kells came
near losing his life in attempting to
save them. 1t is believed others have
persisted. Boats have been sent to the
Inflated locality.

London, April 2O.-On good authority,
the Associated Press is informed that
the war between Greece and Turkey
will not affect the situation in Crete.
The powers having guaranteed the
safety of the Mussulnian population.
They will continue their Efforts to paci-
fy the island and endow it with auton-
omy. officials in the Turkish en-
bassy here believe from the wording of
EGhem Pasha's dispatches TO the Turk
ish government that the Greeks VIII
make no great stand until the Turks
reach Larissa, where the main battle,
it is thought, will be fought. This
seems probable, as Prince Constantine,
the Greek commandment -chief, has left
Tyrnavo for Larissa.
Several British officers, both on the
active list and belonging to the re-
serve, have or Hred their services at the
Turkish embassy one of them volun-

Billy Vernon May Die From the Re-
suit of a Blow.
Philadelphia, April 2O.-Billy Vernon
of Haverstraw, n. Y, was probably
fatally injured in a boxing bout with
Leslie Pearce of Camden, n. j.. at the
Olympic Athletic club, Athens, Pa. to-
night. The fight had been scheduled
for Is rounds and at the opening of
the fourteenth both men came up fresh
and smiling.
After sparring for an opening, Yer
non made a LETT swing. which Pearce
cleverly countered and both men broke
away. More Sparring followed. and
Vernon made a vicious left lunge.
Pearce ducked without attempting a
return, when Vernon suddenly collapsed
and fell heavily forward on his face.
He was counted out, but continued to
lay motionless after Pearce had retired
to his dressing room.
Vernon's seconds made an effort to
raise him. but he lay still. At late
hour he was still senseless and the
physicians gave but slight hope of his
recover.
Pearce was placed under arrest. but
every other person connected with the
affair managed to escape before the
authoritis got wind of it. There were
about 1000 spectators.
