not what they should be. they re-
marked on the great Improvement
they have noticed in the last few
years Mr.. o. NJ. Wells said the
thing to do was to get the main
arteries from town to town in good
condition and then work on the
feeders to these" In his opinion
the best roads for this section would
be the sand and clay. A road should
not be too wide but have Just room
enough for two wagons to pass and
repass, say twenty-five feet.

Athens. March THE surrender of
Janina was preceded by a fierce bonn
bardment. lasting without cessation
for two days and two nights. Every
available gun. including a number Of
heavy howitzers lent by the Servian
artillery, was brought to bear on the
forts defending the beleaguered city.
No fewer than 10000 shells were
fired by the Greek guns during the
first day. Gradually the Turkish bat
teries at Bisani, Sakni and elsewhere
were silenced.
The Greek commander, by a feint,
led the Turks to believe that their at
tack would be made from the right.
AS soon as the attention of the de-
tenders had been distracted the Greeks
hurled large bodies of infantry against
the Turkish left.
The Ottoman troops, utterly sur
prised, fell back in disorder.
Batteries Are Silenced.
The batteries on the heights Of Bis
ami, the mainstay of the defense, had
been unable to stand the pelting of
the shells and were reduced to com
plete silence.
The Greeks pushed their forward
movement and occupied the Turkish
batteries on the Sakni and Elias hills,
capturing all the guns and ITO artil-
lerymen. Then the Greek battalions
gradually deployed on to the plain in
front of the city itself.
The Turkish flight Immediately be-
came general, despite all the efforts OF
the Ottoman officers to rally their men.
Whole detachments succumbed to pan
ic and Joined in a mad race into the
city. The Greek troops followed in
hot pursuit almost to the walls.
With all the defending batteries in
the hands of the Greeks and the
Hellenic soldiers at the gates of ia.
nina Essaad Pasha, the Turkish com.
mander, sent messengers under a flag
of truce announcing the surrender of
| the city and all troops therein.

Tug RuShes to Assistance Of
Burning Steamer.
DYNAMITE CARGO EXPLODES
At Least Forty Men Are Killed in Bal
Injured, Some Fatally.

Baltimore, March S.-William E.
Van Dyke of Baltimore. captain of the
wrecked tug Atlantic, lost his life in
heroically rushing to the aid of the
imperiled British seamen i'll the
doomed Alum Chine and his vain eff
fort carried with him to death many
members of his crew.
When curling smoke from the bow
of the Alum Chine warned members
in loading her and the crew of the
Atlantic alongside. that fire a rag
ing in the coal hunkers there was in
slant realization that flames soon
would reach the 500 tons OF dynamite
stored in the Alum Chimes hold and
the barge roped beside her.
Instantly there was a rush to the
ships side. Fourteen members of the
crew and four of the ~stevedores
Ieaped I'VE the rail and tumbled pell
nell into the launch Jerome. which
had a moment before brought two fire
men aboard the i'll fated ship. All Of
the other members of the crew and
~stevedores who could reach the deck
leaped for the decks of the Atlantic.
The tug and launch, cutting hawsers.
were sped away from the scene of the
impending catastrophe, the Jerome
picking up speed first and rushing to
safety.
Piteous Appeals for Rescue.
The Atlantic had proceeded a few
hundred feet when two frantic figures
were seen clambering from the Alum
Chine hold. They were sailors who
had been left behind. Reaching the
sides Of the vessel they shouted pit
eous appeals for rescue.
Captain Van Dyke, despite the
knowledge he must have had hat a
hail of death 0 o would be pouring
over the harbor, needed the call of
the imperiled sailors. The engines
were stopped, the Atlantic wheeled
and rushed again to the fire doomed
vessels side. She reached it in safe
ty. The two sailors jumped aboard.
Again the Atlantic wheeled, Cap
tain Van Dyke standing in the pilot
house, gave hurried orders, which
again sent the tug toward safety. But
it was too late.
The Atlantic's nose had scarcely
been turned toward open water when,
with a oar like the eruption of a vol
cano, the death laden vitals of the
Alum Chine exploded.
Tug a Human SHAMELESS.
The conclusion hurled all before it..
A dense pail Of smoke enveloped the
waters and when it cleared away the
ship and barge had disappeared and
the Atlantic, a dismantled hulk, help
less on the surface of the bay, had
become a human shambles.
Death in dreadful form had de-
scended from the sky. The Alum
Chine had been torn into shreds and
boxes of dynamite mingled with the
flying fragments of steel and timber
filled the air. These fell on the packed
decks of the Atlantic, the dynamite
exploding as it fell, and sweeping
them as a charge Of shrapnel levels
charging troops.
Mems heads and limbs were torn
from their bodies. Blood was every.
where. From ships and launches
nearby were seer dismembered bodies
flung across and tumbled about the
Atlantic's decks.
The injured number more than six.
ty, of whom twenty are SO frightful
