Equipped Troops In Line Greeks
Have About 80,000 Itegnlars
and 20,000 Irregulars on
the Line.
Greek Invaders Defeated.
Larissa , Greece , April 17. The
Greek invaders under Chiefs Luzzo and
Zermos captured a village held by two
companies of Turks , killing eighty of
them and making twenty-five prison
ers. A strong Turkish force attacked
the 400 Greeks in Krania and after
a fierce fight they routed the in
vaders. Most of them were driv
en into the mountains , but some
escaped to Baltino. Chief Milonas ,
the leader , was wounded. It is
reported that the Ethnikc Hetairia
( national league ) has ordered the
Greek irregulars to retreat into Greek
territory , regarding further bloodshed
as useless unless the regular army of
Greece shall support the irregulars.
The Greeks have about 50,000 regu
lars and some 20,000 irregulars on the
frontier , but they count a great deal
on reinforcements to their armies
through risings in Epirus , Albania and
Macedonia.
The Turks have about 150,000 good ,
well equipped troops in line. Of these
fourty-four battalions are Redifs ,
raised in Roumelia , in all about 30,000
men , who are divided among two re
serve divisions. At Monastir flying
columns have been formed to watch
the Servian frontier , and all the sup
plies possible are being pushed for
ward to the three Turkish divisions at
Elassona , Grevena and Janninna. The
Turks are weak in cavalry , having
only about 8,000 mounted men on the
frontier. They are , however , very
strong in artillery and infantry. The
transport corps is well organized , field
telegraphs have been laid between all
important points , artesian wells have
been bored at Elassona and the broken
bridges in Macedonia have been re
paired as much as possible. The Turk
ish forces at Salonicahave constructed
a line of iedoubts round the gulf and
down the Aegean coast to Ivaterina.
Krupp and Armstrong guns have been
mounted behind those defenses and a
line of thirty torpedoes has been laid
across the bay from Cape Kara.
BIG BICYCLE SWINDLE.
Secured 850,000 Through an Alluring
Ad One Under Arrest.
New York , April 17. William S.
Thompson , who was indicted in Chicago
cage last October for carrying on
swindling { operations through the
mails , has been arrested here and is
held in $2,500 bail for hearing. It is
alleged that Thompson sent out letters
offering to send bicycles worth 100
upon ' receipt of S45. Persons who sent
money ' claim that they never heard
anything more from Thompson.
Thompson had been arrested in Chicago
cage i and furnished § 1,000 bail. The
concern i of which Thompson was the
head ' sent out circulars offering a prize
to 1 the person making the greatest
number i of words out of the letters in
the 1 title " "
"Empress bicycle. Later on
circular ( letters were mailed to those
.
persons who had failed to win the
j prize , offering them a $100 bicycle for
§ 45. In Chicago , Thompson was known
as "William S. Thompson" and in this
city ' as "C. Thompson. " ' Thompson

Cuba Will I > o Sent Hack.

information received here , when the
rainy season shall set in in Cuba . , 10 , -
000 Spanish troops will be sent back
to Spain , and soon afterward 30,000
more will be recalled.
The Spanish insist positively that it
means only that little or nothing of
the insurrection i emains ; that Gomez
has only about fifty or a hundred fol-
lowerers , and to watch these under
the conditions in which the campaign
has been necessarily conducted a few
thousand men are quite as effective as
the 180,000 men which have been main
tained in Cuba. The Cuban contin
gent , on the other hand , insist that
the Spanish financial resources are ex
hausted and that the troops are to be
tvithdrawn because of lack of money
to keep them in service.

the Democratic Proposition.
Wasiiingtox , April 19. The Repub

Senate agreed unanimously to accept ,
so far as it is .empowered to do so , the
uroposition made by the Democrats for
the reorganization of the Senate com

committee has agreed to accept pro
vides that the Bepublicans shall
fill all the committee places
which were filled by Republican
senators during the last congress
including the chairmanships vacated
by Republicans , and that they shall bo
given one additional place on the ap
propriations committee , vacated by a
Democrat , and that the membership
of the committee on postoffiees and
post roads shall be increased from nine

has written a letter to the Macedonian
leader. Captain Dampzes , in which he
says : "Under the present deplorable
scheme , all the British government has
the right to do , seemingly , is to plead
its opinions before a tribunal of two
youthful despots , the emperors of
Germany aud Russia , and to abide by
their help to execute their final deter
minations.
"Our disgraceful office seems to be
to place ships , guns , soldiers and sail
ors at their disposal for the purpose of
keepins- down the movement for the
liberty of Crete , and of securing to
these young despots , who have in no
wise earned the confidence of Europe , '
the power of deciding questions which
rightfully belong to the. Cretans. "
The Larissa correspondent of the
Times says : "Everyone here continues
to declare that an outbreak of war Is
inevitable within the next two or three
days , especially as it is now known
that , in high quarters at Athens , a
peaceful solution of the difficulty is
regarded as almost hopeless. "
