L BLOODY CONFLICT ON BETWEEN THE GREEKS AND TURKS. •GRECIAN CONGRESS WELL PLEASED Prime Minister Delyannis Declares That Turkey Is Responsible For The Outbreak. The correspondent of the Associated Press at headquarters of the Turkish army in Macedonia, under date of April 18th, states that a tierce battle between the Turks and Greeks is now going on at Karya on the Greek fron¬ tier. The correspondent left the Turkish headquarters on horseback Saturday morning and arrived at Karya three hours later. The battle was then pro¬ gressing and the correspondent was enabled to watch the tight from a point near the tent of Hamid Pasha,, who is in command of the Sixth army corps, the Turkish force there en¬ gaged. Hamid Pasha, surrounded by his staff, was watching the movements of the opposing forces. The combatants were posted on the faces of two hills, overlooking a small valley, at a distance of about a mile. It appeared that the Greek force, which was evidently composed of reg¬ ular troops of Greece, crossed the frontier and advanced upon the valley in the neutral zone, which led to the encounter on Friday between the Greeks and the Turks. This, it is added, was used at Consfansinoide as a reason for ordering Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-ehief, to assume the offensive and led to the rupture of diplomatic relations between the countries. The so-called outrage of Prevasa Sat¬ urday morning when the Turkish bat¬ teries there sank the Greek steamer, Macedonia, further justified Greece in the minds of Athenians in waging war to the death against Turkey. Little news of a reliable nature has been seceived or allowed to leak out regarding what has really transpired on the frontiers. It is known, how¬ ever, that the whole frontier of Thess¬ aly lias been blazing with murderous firing ever since early Saturday morn¬ ing and that the Greeks have captur¬ ed a fortified position at Menexe, in Macedonia. According to the general under¬ standing the Turkish plan of campaign is a concentration of the Turks near the important Greek frontier town of Tyrnavos, with a view of forcing the mountain passes going towards Lar¬ issa. One report, which is generally credited, has it that Edhem Pasha, at the head o.f 12,000 men, has already begun this movement, and rumors in this respect arc flying, the substance of them being that the battle which is expected to be fought at 6r near Tyr¬ navos has already commenced. Greek Congress Hears News. A late special sitting of the legisla¬ tive assembly was held at Athens Sun¬ day. The public galleries were crowd¬ ed. Amid intense excitement M. Del- yannis, the premier, announced that the Turkish government had notified Greece of the rupture of the diplo¬ matic relations owing to the aggres¬ sive attitude of the Greek government. In an elaborate manner ho reviewed the recent events to show, on the con¬ trary, that Turkey had been the ag¬ gressor ; that her troops had attacked the Greeks and attempted to occupy neutral positions, and that her batte¬ ries at Prevasa had sunk the Greek ship Macedonia, “Turkey,” said M. Delyannis, “de¬ clares war against us. We accept it.” This statement was received with prolonged cheers from the galleries and the floor of the chamber. Greek Steamer Sunk. The Turkish batteries at Prevasa, on the north shore of the entrance of the gulf of Arta, where, according to the treaty at Berlin, the Turks had no right to erect fortifications, fired on and sank a Greek steamer, the Mace- donia, Sunday morning while she was attempting to leave the gulf of Am- bracia. The crew of the steamer were saved by boats from the shore, but the ■captain of the Macedonia was severely wounded. DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS END. Atffiim Bey Tells Greeks To Leave and Calls Home Turks. A special of Sunday from Athens states that Assim Bey handed to M. Skouzes, the Greek minister of foreign affairs, the following note: “In consequence of the aggressive attitude of Greece, diplomatic rela¬ tions between the king of Greece and his imperial majesty, the sultan of Tur¬ key, and their respective governments are hereby broken off. “The Greek minister at Constanti¬ nople and the Greek consuls have been ordered to quit Turkish territory. For the same reason, the Turkish con¬ suls in Greece have been rect lled to Constantinople. OFFICIALS INDICTED. Indianapolis Street Car Managers Sum- panned to Appear In Court. Indictments ha'e been returned by special -session of the grand jury at Indianapolis against President A. L.

Feeling against the company runs high. CREVASSE WIDENING. Water Uuuh Through Bigg ft Levee Like a Second Niagara. A special from Vicksburg says; “The crevasse in the Biggs levee, Louisiana, about six miles below this city, was 1,700 feet wide at last reports and rap¬ idly widening. The water is rushing and through with a roar like Niagara, all day long refugees have been ileeing to this city with their stock and other property. The water was fifteen feet deep against the levee when it broke, and men who were on the spot say that it poured through in vast circular massses or whirlpools twenty feet high. Three white persons, two men and a woman, passed twelve hours in the midst of the furious waters of the crevasse, perched in a tree. The water roused them from their beds, and they had only time to seek safety in its boughs when the mighty tlood was upon them. They were rescued by boats. The town of Delta is now inundated and the waters are spreading over the lowlands and will soon cover many fine plantations in Madison parish. All the convicts at work on the levee when the crevasse came have been safely put on hoard a steamer and so far no loss of life is reported in the vicinity of this last break. HUNTER ARRESTED. Franklin County Grand Jury Returns In¬ dictments Charging; Conspiracy to Bribe. The Franklin county, Ky., grand jury has returned true bills against Dr. W. Godfrey Hunter, the republi¬ can nominee for the senate; ex-Con- gressman John Henry Wilson, of the eleventh district; Hon. E. T. Franks, of the second district; Captain Noel Gaines,and his brother-in-law,Thomas Tanner, of Frankfort. Those named have been indicted for conspiracy to bribe. All are republicans wtitli the exception of Gaines and Tanner. The indictments w'ere all included in one bill and were filed in court at 10:20 o’clock. The news at once te- came public and created the greatest indignation among the republicans, all of whom denounce it as a conspiracy among Frankfort Democrats to defeat and humiliate Hunter. They claim that the indictments against Gaines and Tanner were returned simply as “savers,” to prevent the public gener¬ ally from gaining the impression that the grand jury had been made an en¬ gine of political persecution, and that they would be dismissed at the first hearing ou account of insufficient evi¬ dence. When the indictments had been re¬ turned, Judge Cantrill ordered that bench warrants be issued for the ar¬ rest of the accused and made return¬ able for the next term -of the court, which is in September. Bail was fixed at §250 in each case. The accused have engaged the best attorneys in the state to defend them. EDITOR DANA APOLOGIZES. Katlier Than Face a Libel Suit He Makes a Retraction.

LEVEE IN MADISON PARISH FI¬ NALLY GIVES WAY. DANGER WARNING IS SENT OUT Heroic Measures Were Taken to Prevent Crevasse But to No Avail. Supreme Test Is On. The Queen <fc Crescent train dis¬ patchers at Vicksburg, Miss., reported ut 12 o’clock Friday night that Biggs levee, in Madison parish, broke at 10 o’clock and that the break was one hundred feet wide in twenty minutes. The break is four and a half miles south of the delta, Louisiana, and one and a half miles above the upper end of Beed’s levee. The news was sent to the delta at once, the operator being roused out of bed and the message of warning sent along the line of the railroad west¬ ward. The levee is a very large one and has been engaging the special atten¬ tion of the levee authorities for weeks, or ever since the Mississippi crevasse. About six hundred convicts were employed on it in addition to other la¬ borers, and so greatly strengthened had it been made that until up to the time of the break it was believed to be safe. Advices from Natchez and other points below Vicksburg indicate that the supreme test in tho flood situation is at hand. The swift current "which is rising steadily is beating against the levees with such force as to cause the gravest apprehension at many places. At Natchez the river is near the top of the levee and everything possible is being done to fight back the rising waters. All kinds of rumors have been current regarding wholesale loss of life on Davis island, but diligent telegraphic inquiry fails to confirm * the stories It is known that three negroes were drowned on the island, but outside of ; these fatalities no further loss of life is known to have occurred. i At Vicksburg the river is rising at I the rate of four-tenths of a foot daily. The swift volume of water pouring out I of the Yazoo into the Mississippi, at a I point twelve miles north of Vicksburg 1 will continue for several days. The levees between Bedford, four J miles south of the delta, Louisiana, j and Duckport, six above, are in a preca- rious condition and every man and boy available was put to work strength- ning the embankment. At some points in this stretch of levee the water is washing over and the greatest alarm is felt. CARLOAD 0£ LIOUOR SEIZED. Constabulai r v of South Carolina Takes Charge of a Big: Shipment of Wine. A special from Charleston, S. C., says: The Stite constabulary met a tartar in the little schooner Saucy Lass, but it redeemed itself Friday by the capture of a carload of the finest liquors consigned to wealthy citizens for personal use. The carload consisted of ninety-two packages of the best wines from a San Francisco, Cal., wine house. 1 packages are m . barrels, half barrels, kegs and cases and are valued at a considerable amount of money. Chief Constable Bahr has telegraph¬ ed Attorney General Townsend of the seizure. The goods were consigned to a prominent banker of Charleston. There is a question as to Bahrls right to seize the goods and the case will doubtless go to the courts. The schooner Saucy Lass with 800 gal¬ lons, is reported to have landed her cargo up the Cooper river. YOUTHFUL SUICIDES. Two Boys, Aged Nine and Fifteen, Swallow Foison In a Fit of Anger. Two young sous of Mr. Herson, liv¬ ing at Greenland, Ark., aged nine and fifteen years, committed suicide while their parents were at Fayetteville, nine miles distant. The boys were angry because they were left at home. Both dressed in their best clothes, wrote notes to their parents, pinned them on the door, took strychnine and went to bed. They died before the parents returned home. The notes bade their parents goodby and expressed the hope that they would meet in heaven. RESEMBLED MYERS, But the Idaho Man Was Not the Youth¬ ful Murderer. Once more a rumored capture of Will Myers, the condemned murderer who escaped from the Atlanta jail last year, has been dissipated.

RECEIVER TAKES CHARGE AGAIN. Southern Building anti Loan Association Ordered to Be Wound Up. Again the big Southern Building and Loan Association, at Knoxville, Tenn., is in the hands of receivers, and this time its affairs will be wound up in the courts.

Guiana. Information has been received at Washington that the president of the Swiss republic lias been selected as arbitrator of the boundary dis ut; be¬ tween Brazil and French Guiana. The territory involved exceeds that at issue between Great Britain and Venezuela and includes rich gold mining dis¬ tricts. It is thought that President McKin¬ ley would have been designated as ar¬ bitrator, but as France was one of the parties to the treaty, a European arbi- trator was, preferred, The dispute reached an accute stage a few months ago when a French war- B pjp wae dispatched to the territory in question. In one of the border con¬ flicts several French officers were killed. It is understood that the arbi¬ tration will settle the boundary aud also adjust the claims growing out of the border conflicts.

WRIT OF ERROR FROM HIGH COURT Which Act# as Supercedeas—Gun ram¬ bles Will Be Given an Indefinite Respite by the Governor. Mrs. Nobles, the Georgia woman sentenced to hang April 23, for the murder of her husband, has obtained a new lease on life. It eaiqe from Judge Harlan, of the supreme court of the United States, who allowed a writ of error in the case Thursday morn¬ ing to act as a supercedeas. It was presented to the justice at his resi¬ dence in Washington. The writ was granted on the repre¬ sentation of Mrs. Nobles’ counsel that she is insane, and will operate as a stay of proceedings and postpone the case fo- at least eight months. This move in the case came unexpectedly with and news of it will be received surprise. probably Governor Atkinson will grant an indefinite respite to Gus Fambles, her accomplice in crime,, since he has announced his intention of allowing the negro to live until the case of Mrs. Nobles has been finally settled. The news of the action of Judge Harlan in the Nobles case will come as a glad surprise to those who have been working for the old woman’s life since she was first sentenced to death. It was understood that the case would go to the supreme court of the United States, but the prompt action of Justice Harlan was entirely unex¬ pected and will encourage those who are at work for the woman’s life. The case of Mrs. Noble’s has un¬ doubtedly caused more interest and has had more influence brought to bear in it than any c«se ever before carried to the supreme court from Georgia. sentenced The fact that she was to die on the gallows caused those who are opposed to capital punishment for the sex to begin work for her life. Prominent attorneys were obtained and they did all in their power to stay the proceedings. The case went through every loophole allowed by lave. It went from the superior court to the supreme court and from the supreme court back to the superior court. It has shifted many times and a few weeks ago was finally decided by the state supreme court. Arrangements were made for the execution to take place on time. Those who had been working for the old wo¬ man were beginning to work desper¬ ately and despairingly. The last chance was the supreme court of the United States, and here it was intend¬ ed to carry the case. The case will not he reached until the second Monday in October. At that time a motion of advancement will probably be mado and the case will be heard in either January or February. This gives Mrs. Nobles about eight months of life.

A special from Frankfort, Ky., says: It is reported on what is believed to be excellent authority that there is a serious breach between State Senator Henry L. Martin and ex-United States Senator J. 0. S. Blackburn, of the silver democrats. Martin, who has worked like a Trojan for Blackburn during the past few years feels that he now has a chance to win the prize himself, it having been conclusively demonstrated that Blackburn cannot be elected. Blackburn and his lieu¬ tenants have so far declined to dis¬ countenance the movement, and have even gone so far as to bitterly de¬ nounce Martin for his alleged treach¬ ery. But all this was done in private, while openly the Blackburn men wex - e assiduous to Martin. At 9 o’clock Thursday morning Judge Cantrill, of the Franklin circuit court, ordered the grand jury to report at once on the bribery charges which it has been investigating. Later Judge Cantrill called the grand jnrors into open court and in¬ structed them as to their duty in the case before them. He said he regret¬ ted that the matter came up before the adjournment of the legislature, and felt that it was the duty of the legislature to wash its own dirty linen, but having attempted investigation, it was their duty to probe it to the bot¬ tom, and in so doing “I command you to not show any favoritism.” This unusual step on the part of a circuit judge was received with sur¬ prise by both republicans and demo¬ crats alike. The first ballot resulted as follows: Hunter, 58; Blackburn, 43; Martin, 10; Boyle, 6; Stone, 1, leaving Hunter still two votes short of an election. A motion to adjourn was lost, and the second ballot was ordered. The second and third ballots result¬ ed as follows: Hunter, 57; Blackburn, 42; Martin, 10; Boyie, 6; Stone, 1, A motion was then made that the general assembly adjourn, which pre¬ vailed. * LAST HONORS TO YOORHEES.
