LONDON , April 1U. In spite ot the fac
that the hostilities on th Greek frontlei
liava caused but little excitement here , com
munlcatlons have been In progress all da ;
long between tlio foreign ofllce and Rome
Franco and Athena.
It Is understood tonight that among tin
other mattcro considered Is the expedient
of ordering the International fleets to loavi
Cretan waters and to go In the dlrcctlo ;
of Salonlca and the Dardanelles , to watcl
the flithtlng , with a view to localizing It I
necessary , by naval Intervention. Shouh
this suggestion , whlcli Is understood to om.i
nate from the Italian foreign olllcc , be octet
upon , It Is probable that only half the flee
of foreign warships would be withdrawn fo
such a purpose , the other halt remaining ti
continue the Cretan blockade.
There to said to be a sharp difference o
military opinion between the military pow
ers Russia , Austria-Hungary and German !
and the maritime powers England .mi
Italy as to the most expeditious and le.is
violent methods of compelling a cessation o
hostilities should the result bo not rcachec
by the exercise of diplomatic pressure a

If a resort to force becomes necessary , wouli

if ft Is understood at the foreign ofilco thai
the communication received here today fron
the marquis of Sal'sbury ' , after his Inter
view with Queen Victoria at Nice , support
w the .theory that the British government Is
using Its utmost enemy to persuade botl
Iho combatants to make a cessation of the
eonlllct at the staye which it has no *
reached. M. Hanotnux , who received tin
( irock minister to France today. Is under
stood-to have assured him that whllo France
could not tolerate the Indefinite prolonga
tion of war , and would never consent to ans
ts'sential moaillcatlon ot the- existing terri
tories of Greece and Turkey , she would con'
tinuo Jfor the present her policy ot non
intervention , except so 'far as Intervention
might bo necessary to prevent the spread ol
the contest to other combatants.
TURKISH AUMV RESTS.
Tho.situation on the frontier has not , according -
cording to latent advlres , been materlallj
modified today. Both the Turks and the
' . tremendous ex.-
Grecki > 'urri n-itlng from the.
fttions of Friday , Saturday and Sunday
Tl'o'troopa ' of Edhem Pabha. were half deael
with fatigue and hunger \vlicn the flrlnp
slacked laat nl ht. Most ot them fluns
themselves down on the bare ground if
tilccp. The Turkish commander-in-chlcl
prudently decided toi allow his army to resl
today.
As.dotnlle come In It becomes more and
morn apparent that the fighting In Milouna
pass wns of the mcst stubborn and savage
character. The Turks fought like devils ,
and the Greeks resisted In the spirit of their
ancestors. The more Inexplicable fact In
connection with the whole engagement Is
the comparatively small number of killed.
All the special correspondents agree on thle
point. The Turkb appear to have fired as
wildly with their rifles at Mllouna pass as
thry did fit Arta , where the fighting con-
blstt'd of ni : artillery duel between the rival
batteries on Oaci : fide of the river , lasting
about fnur huurt In the afternoon. There
they llrtul only ono of five shots with effect ,
nnd their batteries were soon silenced by
tlm GrreU.i. whoso marksmanship was very
much superior. The Turkish losses at Artn
uro believed to have been very heavy. On
tint Greek sldo there was not n man killed.
EDIIEM PASHA NEARLY CAPTURED.
Later (9 ( p. m. ) General Smolcnltz , ex-
minister of war , IE In command of 14,001
Ort-oks at Itbvenl , not far from Tyrnavo ,
northwest of LarUsa. At this point Edhcni
Pasha , closely pressed , was nearly taken
prleoncr. His plan was to foico the pace ol
Reveal , to enter the plain of Larissa , and k
cut ofl1 the retreat of the Greek army with
his cavalry and thus take Larlssa without
resistance. But this plan was defeated. Gen
eral Dcmopoulos , at the head of ono Greek
division , forced tlio Turkish line at Doughalz ,
dorp to Tyrnavo , nnd General Mavromo-
chalo hroko through at Konoskoa. Thn tut
gcnprnlfl united their rrocpj near Damazl. The
news of tills success at Revcnl and of the Im
minent fall of Provosu has changed the dis
may caiiffd at Athena by tlio loss of Mllouna
Into Iho wildest rejoicing.
The latest advices tonight are that the
Creole troops are advancing to reoccupy their
positions at Mllouna and at Grultzovall , the
latter of which. It Is allefied , was abandoned ,
owing to a iiilnunderstandliig by the general
In command , who Interpiftcd as an order to
retreat what was really Intended as an older
tu advance.
Captain Tagardo , who was wounded at
Grultzovall , shot himself In order to avoid
falling Into the bunds of the Turks. The
Greeks report that the Turks lost 7,000 killed
and wounded at Hevenl , but this estimate Is
probably excessive. The Greek engineers con
structed a brldgo at Pachyskulos to enable
their troopH to mis3 the river. H Is said
that the Turklxh forces attacking Hcvenl
numbered more than 10,000 men.

WASHINGTON , April 19. After much ef
fort , owlni : probably to some confusion In
wire trai MrUrlon , the State department ofll-
clalshavo succeed ) d In translating the cipher
cable dl ; patch received by Secretary Sher
man last night from United Slates Minister
Terrell at Constantinople. The rrnult w-as
the following otl'.clal ( statement :
"Tho Department of State has received a
J dispatch from the United States minister to
Turkey concerning the rupture of relations
between that country and Greece and the
Turkish denilaiatlon of war.
"Mr. Terrell states thatt he minister from
Greece has been Informed that ho must
leave before next Wednesday , Ho Is not
permitted to communicate by telegraph wllh
the Greek gou-rnment. There are perhaps
40.000 men , subjects of Greece. | n Turkey.
All cubjocta of Greece are required to leave
Constantinople. wthln ( fifteen days. The note
of ( ho Porto to Iho foreign powers disclaims
uny desire for territorial acquisition. The
Greek minister tnformu Mr , Terrell that the
Greek government requires all subjects of
Greece of military ago reserved for military
duty. The Turklsli government asserts that
regular Greek troops seized and were fortify
ing A un lops la In violation of an agreement
prohibiting It , hence HU attack by the Turks
en the 16tb. Tuiklah troops are scattered
along the holders of ThcBsnly and can not
quickly concentrate for decisive battle. This
may enable the Greek army to fight them In
detail. "
The United Stairs navy Is prepared tn
do alt that Is necessary for protection of
American Interests. Admiral Selfrldgc , the
commander of the European squadron , con
sisting at present of four war ships , all In
the eastern Mediterranean , has been expect
ing an outbreak ot hostilities and from time
M time hns advised the Navy department ol
the outlook. He Is now under general In-
atructlono to look after American Intercuts ,
and no attempt has been made or Is likely
to be made In the Immediate future to give
him precliie directions as to his conduct. The
movements of the vctmels of the squadron
will be left entirely to his discretion , the
department believing that as ho Is at the
seat of war he Is better prepared than any
one * hero to act to ( Jin best advantage. The
first flgn that the admiral hae begun the
disposition of his little squadron to meet
the war epoch Was the receipt of a cable
gram at the Navy department today announc
ing the arrival of the United Stales cruiser
Minneapolis at Syria. This In an Island In
Ihe Greek archipelago , lying at the foot ol
the Aegean sea and at a point almost equal
ly distant from Crete , where war has been
actually going on for weeks , Athens and
the entrance to the Dardanelles , so that It
I * admirably nelected , In the Judgment of the
Department of War , as a place of observa
tion and a base of action In either direction
where an American war ship may be needed
The ofllclals of both the State and Navy dp.
partmcnts , however , have little apprchcnalor
ot 111 treatment ot Americans In either Tur
key or Greece , which Is regarded as about the
only possible cause of friction now. Pos-
elbly , at a later otage of the war , In the
event that the Turku are defeated , there maybe
bo rioting at Constantinople , or' some of the
larger Turklsli cities , but that is not feared
at present.
It has been suggested that the president
probably will bo called upon lo Issue a proc
lamation of neutrality , now that the war
has begun between Turkey and Greece. Thi
officials have looked Into the precedents In
ouch cases and have concluded that the con-
dltlorn at present do not require the Isssue
of such a notice- . The purpose ot a neutral
ity proclamation ! to guard American cit
izens against the consequences of Infraction
of the neutrality Impeded upon nations not
party to a war.
The War department Is preparing to col
Icrt all the technical Information that
may be derived from the war. Captain Scrlv
en , the military attache of the United Statcf
cmbatay at Rome , has already tclegraphc'l
the department for permission to go to Tur
key to watch the progress of the war , and
the necessary permission will be given him.
If ho finds It desirable that come one should
act In a like capacity with the Greek army
the department probably will send Major
Dorst , our military attache at Vienna , to the
scene.
Admiral Selfrldge has cabled the secretary
of the navy a request to have the crutaer
Clnclnnall , now at Morsinc , under orders tc
come home , remain at the Mediterranean
station for pome time. She was to have been
relieved by the Raleigh , but Secretary Long
has given Instructions that both ships shall
remain there. This will give Admiral Sol-
fridge a fleet of five ships , the San Francisco ,
the Minneapolis , the Marblehcad , the Cin
cinnati and the Raleigh , a number sufficient
to Insure the adequate protection of all
American Interests In southern Europe.

NEW YORK , April 19. Colonel Francis
V. Greene , U. S. A. , retired , who wao sent
by this government to Russia during the
last Turkish war to represent the War de
partment , last night told of his observations
ot the Turkish army while in battle.
"Tho Turks are Individually good fighters , "
said Colonel Greene , "They are fine soldlere ,
very obedient , fanatics In their religion and
fatalists. The Turk lights up to a certain
point , and when he thinks matters are going
against him ho will run. Not for any lack
of courage , but because he thinks fate la
against him. The Turkish soldiers are well
armed. During the Ruspo-Turklah war the
Turks were better armed than" the Russians.
They are well clothed , but the commissary
and transportation systems were fatally de
fective.
"In numbers the peace strength Is 125,000
Greeks and 1SO.OOO Turks , and the\se can
probably be Increased to three times as many
on each side. In 1877 the Turks put over
300,000 men In the field In Europe , and over
100,000 in Asia , and they made a much
stronger resistance than the Russians antici
pated. I think Russia put nearly 500,000
men In the field before the war was over.
"Turkey Is bankrupt , but so It was In
1877 , and that won't stop It from fighting.
It will probably manage to- borrow enough
money to buy guns aud ammunition , and
will get food out of Its own country.
"Tho Turks twenty years ago foiinght an
entirely defensive campaign. There Is no
reauon why they ahould not do so now. Their
plan was to seize some Important point and
throw up fortifications , which they con
structed with remarkable skill , and then
wait to bo attacked behind their breast
works. They collected large amounts of am
munition and provisions Iti these forts and ,
awaited attack. Sometimes their positions
wcro turned. They wore compelled to retreat
and then they would abandon all their am
munitions and store : ) and fall back on an
other line of fortifications , twenty or fifty
miles In the rear. "
Colonel Greene was ? asked his oplpr > rn"
to the relative strength of the armies of
Grceco and Turkey.
"There is no question , " he said , "that the
Turk's are more than a match for the Greeks ,
but the whole question Is , what stand the
great powers will take. They are all ex
tremely anxious to keep peace because If the
war Is once started among the great powers )
It Is Impossible to say when It will end. "

PiHILADELPHIA , Pa. , April 19. Ex-Mln-
Istcr to Greece Snowden raid today that he
had recently received the following reply tea
a mereaRo Kent to King George , approving
the attitude assumed by that iponarch :
"Hearty thanks for your approval. Pre
cious to me. Have six powers against us.
"GEORGE. "
Continuing. Mr. Snowden said ! "There
was never to 111 an opportunity as the pres
ent for Greece to have a conflict with Tur
key. Up to two or three yearn ago an ad
vance of the Greek army Into Thessaly would
have meant a general uprising of Roumanla ,
Bulgaria , HervU and Macedonia , and the
overpowering of the Turks , for Roumanla
alone has a larger and belter equipped army
than the sultan.
"Now , however , the situation Is very dllll-
cult. Roumanla has practically established
an allleghnco to Germany by having a
Hohonzollern upon her throne ; Bulgaria has
almost become a Russian province and Ser-
vla's king Is the son of a daughter of a
Russian colonel , ra that unless the peoples
of these countries act contrary to the In
fluence of their leaders , there Is not likely to
be any combination against Turkey.
"The Turks can , and no doubt will , drive
the Greeks back over the frontier. The Turk.
lnh army outnumbers that of Greece two
to ono and IB better equipped. The entire
army of Greece , Including reserves , con
sists of about SO.OOO troops , and I do not
think It ban been possible for them to have
been equipped with the most modern muni
tions uf war. Greece has a deplorable finan
cial condition and cannot stand u protracted
conflict. 1 very much fear ube will be badly
whipped , but 1 do not believe the powers
will allow the sultan to overrun Greece , or
to take possession of Athens , "

The Turkish losses thus far are reported
to bo slight thirty killed and fifty wounded.
The correspondent of the Associated prero
counted 100 Greek corpses on the hill opposite

on Trlkhaja and Phnjiurl. If these nso are
captured Turkey couhi compel Greece to
comply with the demands ot the powers.
The Turkish fleet , however , Is still In the
Dardanelles , where It.Is . likely to remain as
long as the Greeks .continue active. H Is
reported that the powers , so far from block
ading Greek ports , w.111 cvcm allow Colonel
Vassos and his army to rctiirn to Greece If
ho desires to do so. In any case the Greek
fleet would be able to harass Turkey at
many points , besides keeping open the sup
ply line for the Greek army.
The latest advlcoH from "Arta show that
the rains have been followed by six days
at hot , flno weather and the-rlver Arakophos ,
which alone separates the opposing armies ,
Is rapidly shrinking. The bill roads are Im
proving. It Is at this point that the se
verest fighting Is expected.
Another cruestlon of dominating Influence
Is whether the Greeks can engineer an up
rising In MacedouUw and ) the Sporadcs
Islands , nussla aud'1 Germany are mean
while content to see Greece and Turkey crip
pling each other for many years to come so
long as the other- Balkan states are kept
quiet. _

The municipal campaign Is now drawing tea
a close. The contest has been very warm
and more than usual Interest has been mani
fested. Euch of the contending forces U
marshaling Its battalions for the final olrug-
glc , and the usual crowds of ward workers
have been congregating on the street corncra
and forming around the headquarters.
The republicans feel inure than hopeful ot
electing the entire ticket In spltn of the
preposterous claims that are being made
for llowcll and the bantering ot the gam
blers , who are trying to bolster up their can.
dldato for mayor by offering to put up money
on bets that ho will carry the city.
The greatest trouble that Iho republican
committee has hud to contend with has been
the lack of campaign funds. The assessment - ,
ment of catdldatcs has been very light and
no contributions have been made by anybody -
body outside of the candidates themselves.
On the other hand , the fusionlsts have had
money to burn. Besides the $1,000 $ which
Is contributed toward Howcll's election by
the gamblers , over ? 2GOO has boon milked
out of the brewera , liquor dealers and keepers
of lawle-ss resorts. These parties have been
unblushliigly bollclted In the name ot the po.
lice commiislon.
POLICE HOLD UP SALOON MEN.
Commlsr.loi'er Leo Herdman ban special
charge of this branch of the Howell cam
paign. In making the tour ot the saloona
and dives , the touching committee openly
promises that In the event of HovvcU's elec
tion the town will be run wide open , night
and day.
While the majority of the saloon men have
come down with the tin , a few who see far
enough ahead nnd scent the danger of a
popular uprising In favor of the rigid enforce
ment of law , have revolted against thla
holdup.
One man from whom the committee got
little satisfaction was Joe Karpclcs , who ,
with his brother Morris , runs a saloon at
112 South Fourteenth street. The mem-
berg of the committee arrived at Knrplcs'
place Saturday , and. .tried , to hold him up
for $10 , as a contribution' to 'tho ' Howclt
campaign fund. Joe 'didu't s e It that way
and asked them what was the matter with
Iholr collecting the money from their candi
dates. Ho asked them to tell who they
were , but they replied that their nninca
did not matter , but they represented Mr.
Howell. They added that If Howell was
elected the raloons would ho run on the
wide open plan and it wan for their Intcrcit
to help elect him.
Karpclcs answered that they were run al
together too wide open now to pult him. He
had to pay $1,000 a yar for a license , whllo
tliuro was a bar operated right over his
salcon by people who did not pay a dollar of
license. Ho grow somewhat Indignant at
this point and the touching committee cx-
lU'dly requested him not to speak EO loud , aa
tbsy did not want people to get onto what
they were doing. Karpclco replied that ho
did not care a red who heard him. He had
paid for his license and ho did not propose
to bo held up by any pulltlral candidate.
Thla settled It and the committee withdrew ,
WOULD NOT UK HELD UP.
Just before they visited Karpelea the mem.
bers of the committee dropped Into n North
Sixteenth iuloon and asked for a contribution
of $10. Hero they got a front that mad ?
their stay very brief. The ynloon man very
positively assured them tnat he paid $1,000
a year for his license and ho propjccd lo
run hie saloon CB bo BOW ( It. Moreover ho
proposed to vote for whomever he pleased
and In this case It would be Frank E. Moorcs.
The manipulation of the bircot cleaning
gang In the Interests of tlio gamblers' candi
date goes merrily on. Joseph V , Kaspar ,
ono of Street Commissioner Kaspar's fore-
nun , has been around to all the members of
the blue barrel brigade and asked them how
they proposed to vote. When ho found n
man who was for Moorcs ho attempted to
get him into line fnr Howell by assuring
ilm that If he would work for Howell ho
would see thai ho was retained on the pay
roll.

Pho room of the Ninth Ward Republican
club was filled with a ciowd of voters , who
worn entertained for nearly two hours by
ludgo Jacob Kuwcott and Assistant County
Attorney Phil E. Winter.
Judge Fawcctt made a very forcible talk
on the Importance of thn Issues of the pres
ent campaign. Ho warned all 'who had any
notion of voting the fusion ticket that the
ncn who had been elected to the leglsla-
uro on promises of protecting thu Interc-sta
of Omaha had violated every promise they
lad made , and It would bo foolish to trust
lie-so tame people a second time , The leg-
slatlon which had been enacted against the

vlowcd by thei speaker , and ho said that It

ow morning that the fusion ticket had been
elected thin city would b placed In the

peakcr declared that the quentloti at Usuo
B not ono of men , and hu reminded his
uearera that the voters of Omaha are about
lo enter Into a three-year contract with a
ict of man to bo their ofllclals.
Judge Fawcctt disposed of Howell In ft
very few words , saying that Howell had bo-
Iraycd the people of Omaha In the legis
lature and 'would bo likely to do the same
thing again , He then referred at uorao
length to his personal knowledge ot the af
