THE BRUNSWICK TIMES. VOLUME 8, NO. 98. AT THERMOPYLJE GREEKS’ LAST STAND. The Overpowered, Outnumbered Heroes Will Make a Pinal Fight For Right. RUSSIA REFUSES TO INTERFERE. Yesterday’s News Confirms the Impression That the Christians Have Been Badly Worsted In One Week. Athens, April 26.—The Greek gov ernment has decided that if the Greeks are defeated at Pharsalos the army is to retire to Thermopylae and there make a final stand. Advices received here from the cor respondent of the Associated Press with the Turks at Larissa say that the quantity of military stores abandoned by the Greeks at Tyrnavos, and other places proves that they did not re treat, but fled precipitately. The Greek government has demand el of the directors of the Thessalian railroads that they continue the ser vioe of the Volo-Larissa railroad. If the directors refuse the government will occupy the line with troops. Three steamers have been sent from here to Volo to bring away the women and children who have sought refuge there. In official circles here it is not believed that Yolo is in danger at present and the Greek fleet is relied upon to protect the port in case of ne cessity. The excitement here is increasing and in many quarters a cabinet crisis is expected. RUSSIA REFUSES To Interfere Until More Blood Has Been Shed. New York, April 26.—A dispatch to the Journal from Athens says: “Al though Crown Prince Constantine hopes to assemble 30,000 men at Phar salos it is certain that he will be un able to give battle in that vicinity. Instead he will be forced to retreat to the Othrys mountains, about 20 miles nearer Athens. These mountains form a lower border of Thessaly. The powers have already exchanged views on the situation in Thessaly. Russia, however, has declared that no kind of intervention is possible before the Turks have established their posi tion. INTEGRITY OF TURKEY. Russia Will Guarantee It, But England May Refuse Consent. Paris, April 26.—The Berlin corre spondent of the Figaro telegraphs that it is semi-officially announced there that Greece will neither solicit nor accept the intervention of the pow ers and is preparing to negotiate di rect with Turkey. A dispatch from Berlin says: The T&geblatt announces that a definite agreement has been reached between Russia and Austria concerning Tur key. The terms of the agreement, it is said, are that the sultan shall re nounce Crete; that the czar shall be given a coaling station at Suda bay in that island, and that in return Russia shall guarantee the integrity of Tur key. The advantage of this arrange ment to the nations interested is ob vious. Russia in command of one of the most important ports in Crete will bo greatly strengthened in the line of her coveted advance toward the south. Turkey with the formidable power of the white czar behind her will have secured almost beyond possibility ol disaster a position from which she can rule her troublesome subjects without fear of revolt, encouraged by the hope of foreign interference. She would be more than willing that Russia should assume such a sort of protectorate over her empire. To this agreement France and Germany will give their consent. England alone has not made known her views on this question. In the Berlin informed quarters, however, it is believed that a very strong protest will be certain to come from the court of St. James. A special dispatch fromSalonica says that Edhem Pasha, the Turkish com mander in Thessaly, will probably at tack the port of Yolo, which is crowded with panic-stricken refugees from Tyrnavos and Larissa.

The Exercises Were Very Pretty And Pass ed Off Successfully. In the north end of Hanover Park, a platform and seats bad been erected, but the seats were totally insufficient for the large crowd. On the platform besides General Evans, General King and staff, and the veterans, were the mayor and council, and the three confederate se ries, thirteen wives of veterans, thir teen young married ladies and thir teen daughters of veterans, each se ries representing the states of the confederacy. Tins made a very pretty effect. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. Ed F. Cook. The vo cal sextette, composed of Mrs. A. J. Crovait,, Mrs. 11. H. Raymond and Miss Annie Hine, Messrs C. L. Candler W. A. Smith and R. E. LaMance, ren dered an appropriate selection. A chorus of school children then sung “Dixie”, After the speaking, General Floyd King called the roll of honor of Brunswickians who fell in battle. He also] introduced Mrs. J. M. Madden, paying her a deserved tribute as pres ident of the Ladies Memorial associ ation. Benediction by Rev. D. Watson Winn concluded the exercises at the park. GENERAL EVANS’ SPEECH. Introduced By General King He Ably Eulo gizes The Lost Cause. General Floyd King introduced the veteran orator, reciting the incidents of his life and eulogizing his noble career. He raised the “rebel yell” by alluding to the many wounds received by General Evans and asserting that in spite of all, he was with us yet. General Evans, whose personal pres ence 13 imposing and whose grayish hair and noble face would mark him among many as a leader, began his address by a happy acknowledgment of the invitation. He took occasion to pay a high tribute to tlie Bruns wick Riflemen, who went to war a large and sturdy force, and came back a corporal’s guard. Alluding to the Grant memorial ex ercises, the speaker said : “We send our patriotic greetings to the massive columns which will move tomorrow to the monument of General Grant, while the eyes of nations watch them. We did not envy his honors when he lived, we would not take one leaf from his laurel now that he is dead. His fame is our country’s, and therefore it is our own—and, by a parity of hon ors, tile fame of Lee is ours, and there fore our country's. (Great applause.) General Evans made a strong point in saying: “The decadence of memorial day, should it ever come, will not change the unalterable character of the men whose slaughter on hard fought battle-fields made possible and proper an occasion like 'this. The harpstrings which were struck by the fingers of our confederate dead were snapped at the last by tension and stroke but they have vibrated into all tune to come some symphonies of truth that will forever lure manhood to lofty actions. That which gives vi tality to this simple ceremony is the deep conviction felt now by the living that their own honor is inweaved among the tributes due the dead.” General Evans then addressed him self to an able exposition of the Amer ican theory of government and how that theory applied to the south. “The war was not a rebellion,because no attempt was made to overturn or change the government from which the states seceded. Neither was it a civil war, because it was waged be tween the organized armies of two organized nationalities. It was legal public was between two nations, one nation contending defensively for its life, which the other was striving ag gressively to destroy. Addressing the sons of Confeder ates, General Evans grew fervently eloquent, admonishing them to work for a reunited nation and its power for good in the world. “We are ready,” he said, “to banish the word south from the vocabulary of political terms, just as soon as the antipodal word north disappears from the lexicon of national policy.” He declared that “the socalled ani mosity of the south is a myth” and made a strong showing of this sec tion’s possibilities. After eloquently eulogizing the “daughters of the south,” the orator addressed his com rades fervently. His peroration was as follows : “When 1 recall the noble qualities of Folk, who feii at Kennesaw; of Jackson who bled at Cha'ncellorsville; of Stuart, who gave up his gallant soul at Yellow Tavern; of Albert Sidney Johnson, the pride of the ar mies of both nations, who met a pat riot’s death at Shiloh; of Bartow, who died at Manassa; of Cobb, who died at Fredericksburg; of Walker, slain at Atlanta; when I think of all our young patriots and their princely leaders, I must be firmly resolved to maintain the reputation of the Con federate people. “I do consider that there was one among us all whose wise and heroic action in battle, whose grand deport ment after defeat, whose service in peace and whose death in faith among his people who loved him placed him first in the hearts of his countrymen. While life can be kept I would be like that Confederate military chieftain, and when life must he surrendered how glad would I be to leave a record like that of Robert E. Lee.” The orator was loudly cheered, not only at the conclusion, but through out his address. Over the Graves. The parade moved to Oak Grove where the ladies and children strewed flowers on the graves and the Rifle men fired a military salute. Dress Parade. The two battalions, with Captain Ernest Dart acting as colonel, had dress parade at 6 p. m. on Newcastle street. The parade was an impressive one, the Marine Band furnishing the music. After the dress parade Gen eral Evans was escorted along the line by the officers and shook hands with every soldier on the field. An Elegant Monument. There is a drawing of a large mon ument to “Our Confederate Dead” on exhibition at the postoffice. The ped estal is surmounted by a standing figure of a hero in gray. It is a beau tiful design, perfect in every detail, and is the work of Brunswick’s irre proachable artist and sculptor, Reed E. LaMance. PRICE, FIVE CENTS.
