LONDON , May 2. The TInico correspond
cnt at 1'atras , giving further details of th (
fighting at Pcntcptgdla , notes the neglect o :
the officers to provide for thu timely ar
rival of reinforcements , a matter so dlf
Jlcult In that wild section of the country , am
proceeds : "When the Turks opened tin
attack I realized that their fierce onslaught
might expel the mere handful of Greeks
but I did not realize that thU one blow wnuli
throw ; the entire Greek army In Eplrus Intt
a hopeless panic and cause the lorn of al
the positions gained since the opening ol
the campaign.
"Six thousand Turks scaled the mountain
covered as It Is with bushes and rocko , am' '
In the face of firing , which was rapid ant
continuous , they lostheavily. . In splto ol
the fact that two Greek guns were Inex
plicably removed from action shortly aftci
the fuullludo begun , the Evzones foughl
bravely , but were compelled to retire.
"Tim reel of the Greek positions have
been abandoned. There has apparently been
no stand anywhere and the whole army Is
crumbling without firing a shot. Wo en
tered Kumuzcades , which 3,000 men with
fllx guna had deserted , accompanied by the
terrified villagers carrying their property ,
and then wo descended the rough pass , where
for hours we met no one. The retreating
and panic-stricken troops were far ahead ,
About midnight we and our mournful pro
cession of villagers overtook the routed army
on the road , crowded and In utter confusion ,
packed with a mass of humanity tumbling
on through the darkness silently , for It was
a strange panic that had seized the men ,
sullen , unexcltcd. stubborn determination nol
to fight , but to prcas toward Arta In a slug
gish , Irresistible wave. The officers , like
their regiment , walked with gloomy ami
shame-faced expression , quite unable to gel
their men In hand.
"At Kanopnulo Colonel Dotzarl and hit
staff vainly tried to check the rout and tt
make a stand , but the mass continually
growing kept rolling along. Presently there
mingled with the troops the scared Inhabi
tants of the villages on the line of retreat ,
who , fearing Turkish vengeance for assistIng -
Ing the Greeks , wcro fleeing to Arta with
their families , their chattels , their cattle ,
sheep and goats , bellowing , bleating , tramp
ling and killing each other , while the glare
of the burning homes behind reminded them
of all that they had lost. "

II. DlNKraeefiil Retreat.
LONDON , May 2. The difficulty In recon
ciling the utterly conflicting accounts of
the fighting Is In no way diminished. It
Is almost safe to say that General Smolen-
skl'B victory at Velcstlno was much less
Important than It has been represented to
bo and unless the Greeks are able to make
a stand at I'harsalla another disgraceful
retreat Is Inevitable , Dcsplto previous tel
egrams , It appears extremely doubtful that
the Turks have occupied Vole ,
The correspondent of the Standard at Con-
staiitlnoplo will say tomorrow : "Saad Eddln
Pasha arrived at Janlna Thursday night
with eight battalions , Eighteen other bat
talions were expected on the following day ,
He Intends to assume the defensive and It
Is considered that the Greeks In Eplrus
have no alternative hut to surrender , with
the Tur-ka - advancing from both Janlna and
Trlkhala. I lulls I'asha complained bitterly
of thu lawlessness and pillaging of the Al-
banlanu and the palace council has , there
fore , decided to distribute other regiments
In that section. "
The Athens correspondent of the Standard
will say tomorrow : "Tho ministers of war
and the Interior arrived at I'harsalla at
noon today ( Sunday ) and Immediately re
viewed the troops , It was stated yesterday
that headquarters would bo transferred to
Vomokos , Thus far the Turks have cap-
turcd , It Is estimated , war material and provisions -
visions of the valuu of 4,000,000 drachma. "
It Is repartee ! that ns a result of the
queen's letter to the czar Itussla will Inter
vene In favor of Greece.

Wednesday , which says :
The Christians who are returning all say
that during the battle of Mllouna Crown
Prince Constantine was at Karadoc , at the
foot of the pass. The Greek array is de
scribed as behaving on that occasion like
a disorderly mob. All discipline was flung
to the winds and the soldiers fired even
on their own officers. It Is Impossible to

eral Callxto Garcia and 6,000 Cubans cvei
finco the Laurada landed Holoft's expedi
tion , has been recovered by the Spanish conv
blncd army and naval forces under Genera
Gomez Hubertc and Admiral Navarro. The
Spanish forces combined at Nipe and Gen
eral Gomez Hubertc formed his forces , con-
olstlng of two columns , 700 marines , 400 navj
and 2,100 Infantry. Uotn columns boardci
the Spanish licet under the command of Ad
miral Navarro , and , pr ( ceded by artillery
landed under a heavy flro from the Insur
gents' musketry , at Romano Point. Thi
troops had ono killed and seventeen wounded
Meanwhile , marine forcca 4n armed boat !
were sent to reconnolter at the entrance ol
the Porto Uanes. They succeeded in secur
ing three wires , cables and torpedo. Th (
Neuvo Espano was the first boat to cntei
the Port of Uanes. The Llgera followed will
Admiral Navarro , General Uuberto and his
adjutants on board. The Spanish columns
then advanced , protected by the flro from th <
Neuvo Espano , which bombarded the Insur
gent heights and ultimately captured the
Cuban fortifications , with u loss of forty men
Tiio gunboats then communicated with San
tiago do Oplco , who , with fifty men , com
manded an Ironclad fort. Within thin forti
fication his men had heroically defender
themselves during a [ ouy-tlvo days' siege
The fort was constantly surrounded by the
Insurgents , who , however , failed , to read
the stronghold , wljlch was lo EOIIIO extent
protected by wire netting. The Cuban force :
were at all times too far removed from tlu
fortifications to do any sei'lous damage te
the formications. Thelt artillery was shorl
oi range.
Do Oplco denies having received any watci
supply from the Cubans and says that whet :
the Laurada entered Porto Hanso he senl
? n armed boat with twenty men out in the
harbor. He clalir.o that the Lauradji at
tempted to ram this boat and tilat the nicr
were compelled to sek refuge on an eli :
quay. The Lauruda then proceeded to the
Interior of the harbor , landing the expedi
tion out of range of flro , remaining In the
port twenty-four hours. The cruisers Mag-
alcncs and Neuvo Espano remained at nanec
for the purpose of protecting the town ol
Panes from further attacks. The forts built
In the interior of IJaties and the wlmrvcc
have been destroyed and will be recon
structed at the entrance of the harbor within
easy reach for defence and supply , thus pre
venting the future landing of expeditions.
The Cubans , In view of the combined attach
of the army and navy , abandoned theli
stronghold without further resistance , leav
ing a large quantity of ammunition.
The report that Qulntln Handera hae
passed to the westward and that he Is now
in camp between Alqulzar and Artcmlsa wltli
new rifles Is confirmed. They are awaiting
the arrival of bands of insurgents from
Matanzas and Santa Clara.
The government has strengthened the mil
itary forces In the province of Havana by
the addition of twenty-one squftdrons of cav
alry and fifteen battalions of Infantry. This
unusual activity on the part of the troop
in the province of Havana Is regarded ac
very significant. .
Editors of the Imparclal. Heraldo and Lib
eral have been seized by the government for
rcpublishlng the news sent out from Havana
by way of Key West.
The government is now six months In
arrears in the payment of the troops and
there Is much dissatisfaction in consequence.

NEW YORK , May 2. J. Van Alpen , post
master general of the South African repub
lic , now In this city as a delegate to the
Universal Postal union congress , was Inter
viewed at the Hollander house touching af
fairs in the South African republic. He
said :
"Tho South African republic desires noth
ing but the most friendly relations with
Great Britain , with whom we have an agree
ment by which Great Britain guarantees the
independence of the South African republic.
Slnco the Jameson raid in 1805 we have
taken measures to protect outselves from a
repetition of the trouble , as well as from
uprisings of natives. When I left Pretoria
several months ago four forts equipped with
the latest modern Improvements were nearIng -
Ing completion , and we have Imported can
non , guns and ammunition , Wo must bo
prepared for any emergency. A local com-
mltteo In Johannesburg had been elected ,
which will see that the English language
Is taught in the schools where the English-
speaking communities predominate. Instead
of the former government commissioner In
that city the people now have the privilege
ot electing their own municipal officers and
a mayor Is appointed by the government.
Notwithstanding the Ultlanders' complaint
that they have not voting power , yet few
of them s-ecni to avail themselves of the
right to become citizens. Out of 00,000 In
Johannesburg only 2,000 have renounced al-
leglanco to their native land and have be-

P1TTSBURG , Pa. , May 3. The greatcs
flro that has visited this city since the rccm
crabl-j one of 1SS-1 otarled shortly after mid
night In the immense wholesale grocery c-s
tabllsluncnt of Thomas C. Jenkins on Pcni
avemto and Liberty street , and at 2:30 : wai
still burning fiercely. Three largo blocko
extending from Liberty to Penn avenue an.
from Fifth street to Sixth street , have beer
rcducd to smouldering ruins , and whho thi
flro U now believed to have spent Its fury
It Is not yet under control. The Ices wll
exceed $2,000.000 and Is well coveted by In-
cur.ince. Amoni ; the buildings destroyed an
Jenkins' wholesale grocery establishment
Homo's six-story dry goods establishment
Home's offices building , the Duqucsno thuatei
and the Methodist Book Concern.
The flro started In the cellars of the Jen
kins building In a pile of baircls filled will
waste papers. The flames were discovered b ;
Watchman William Hunter , while maklnt
his rouuds on the third floor. He li.ic
Eincllcd smoke earlier In the evening , bu
believed that It came from ttie ouUidc , an.
had paid no attention to It. The flames li.i >
leaped rapidly up the. elevator shaft and hi
made a vain effort lo extinguish the lire will
buckets of walor. An air draft , used ti
ventilate the great building fanned the flame
and he found It impossible to do anything
He made- his escape from the building wltt
great dlfllculty , because of the Immense vol
uoio of smoke. The alarm was turned Ii
about the same time by Ofllccr Milton Bailey
who noticed smoke issuing through thu win
dow.
MAKES RAPID HEADWAY.
The flro made rapid headway after It had
started and by 12:30 : o'clock flames began
to pour out of the Penn avenue front. All
the flro departments of the city and Alle
gheny we're summoned and the firemen
fought bravely to check the progress of the
conflagration. The fire , however , attacked
the Immense quantity of barreled oil , sugar ,
molasses and flour that this building con
tains , and by 12:15 : o'clock the Penn avenue
and Liberty avenue fronts were one mass
of flames. The fire ute Its way so rapidly
that the firemen narrowly escaped falling
debris.
Flames filled Penn avenue completely and
shot Into the air 200 feet or more , pre
senting ono of the most magnificent sights
seen for years. The splendid buildings of
Joseph Home & Co. , opposite , caught and
the flromcn worked desperately to prevent
Its los" .
At 1 o'clock the Home building was burn
ing from cellar to roof , and Iho flames had
communicated to Home's Immense office
building adjoining. The structure was ol
stone and also six stories In height. It was
occupied by W. P. Grler & Co. , the Bor
.Marcho Glove company , Snaman's carpel
house an/1 scores of physicians. Buck's
cigar factory and Hall Bro.'s building nexl
fell and they wcro quickly followed by the
Duqussno 'theater , Methodist Book , conrorr
and the Surprise clothlnr ; store. The 1-itlei
was an Immense five-story building , running
back a deplh of 200 feet.
MAGNIFICENT GLARE.
The flro was a magnificent sight. Wbcr
the Jenkln-s and Home buildings had become
como enveloped in the conflagration , Pern
avenue was one mass of flames and sheets ol
flro with heavy columns of smoke were senl
200 feet into the air. The- glare of the
flames could be- seen for miles and Hie streets
for blocks around were brilliantly Illuminated ,
As goon as the lire attacked these building :
several streams cf water were turned 01 ;
them , but the water had no more effect thai
If it was not an extinguisher.
The flamca from tbc burning oil in the
Jenkins building rolled out against them
and In five minutes the two beautiful Home ,
buildings were burning briskly. The fire
men then left the Jenkins building to its
fate und used their united/ / and desperate ef
forts to save the Home buildings. All the
steams of water thai could be summoned
were turned on these buildings , but the }
wcro now one mass of fire. The fire depatt-
mnt then turned Its attention to the our-
rcundlng bulldlnga , but the raging flames
rapidly ate their way to- all sides.
At 3 o'clock the flro was finaly mastered
but was still burning with intense fury
within tbo limits of the blocks bounded
by Fifth und Sixth strccls east and west
and Liberty street and Penn avenue north
and south. The loss , It Is believed , will be
greatly in excess of the first estimates and
Is placed at about | 3,000,000.
A number of firemen were Injured by fallIng -
Ing walls and live wires , but none of them
Is seriously hurt. Fireman George Achesan ,
who was 'one of three men In Cecil alley
when the Jenkins wall foil , Is missing , and Is
supposed to be under the debris. The names
of the firemen ljurt are : Mike Daly , Elmer
Orocow , George Moelcln , William Erwln and
Robert Badger. All wcro taken to hospitals.

the lliuik tjUt1SH ! 1.0.1 Paid.
, on the Warrant.
TUo Omnha National bank Is to bo sued by
i the state of Nebraska for tbu sum of $201-
8SI.05 , this being the amount of money paid
' to cx-Troasurer J. S. Hartley on tlio now cclo-
br.itcil sinking fund warrant. Ilio papers In
the case arc now being prepared by Attorney
| General Smyth and will bo Hied with the
clerk of tlia district court In and for Douglas
county ai : soon as they run bo completed.
Tlio filing of this suit will mark the cul
mination of ono of thu limit sensational fea
tures In ( lie exposure of the defalcations lu
the state treasurer's ofllco while It wa.s nd-
mlnlstcrcd by J. S. Hartley. Up to March 20
of the present yeur It was popularly supposed
that Mr. Hartley's tronbe : was duo entirely
to thu weakened condition of the Nebraska
banks with which he had deposited public
funds. Mr. Hartley evai'cd n prompt BCttlu-
ment with his successor on the plea that It
ho drew his funds from the banks In which
they were deposited the banks would bo
foiccd to suspend and thus hundreds ot
pilvato business men In all parts of Nebraska ,
would bo forced to the wall and a wide
spread panic preclpilato.l upon the state.
On March 20 , however , The Heo made a
complcto exposure of Mr. Hartley's action la
converting to his own. UGO the sum of $200-
000 , In round numbers , and furnished the cvl-
deuce for the first time to the people and tax
payers of Nebraska that the state treasury
had been deliberately looted.
HISTORY OF THE WARRANT.
Ill order that the merit of the suit which
is now to bo brought against the Omaha
National bank may be understood It will
bo necessary to review briefly the history
of the sinking fund warrant which lies at
the base of the present controversy be
tween the state ot Nebraska und one of
the leading financial Institutions of the
west.
The wrecking of the Capitol National
bank at Lincoln In 1S93 by Charlie Moshep
Inyolved a loss to the state of Nebraskt
of $230,000. Of this umoutit , $180,000 , la
round numbers , belonged to Jlio sinking
fund held by tlio state to repay iZu 'up
standing refunding bonds duo April 1 of the
present yeur. In order to reimburse the
Hluklng fund and thus uphold the credit
of the state the legislature of ISflS appro
priated the sum of ? ] SO,101.75. The warrant
for this amount was drawn by Eugene
Moore , then auditor of public accounts , but
now also under arrest for embezzlement ,
on the very day that the appropriation
became available. The warrant was drawn
on April 10 , 1893 , mid registered by Mr.
Hartley on the same date.
Mr. Hartley Immediately opened negotia
tions with the Omnha National bank look
ing to the salu of the warrant. It was
finally sold to tlio Chemical National bank
of New York City , that Institution , accord
ing to Its own statement , paying a pre
mium of several hundred dollars over Its
face value. The Chemical National bank
hold the warrant until last October , or Just
before election , and then returned it to the
Omaha National bank for collection. On
January ' 2 , 1897 , five days before ho waa
to go out of office , Hartley called In $300,000
of outstanding general fund warrants. The
call Included the sinking fund warrant held
by the Chemical National bank. On the
same day forwarded to the bank n check
on the- Omaha National bank for $201,884.05 ,
this being the amount of the face value
of the sinking fund warrant , together with %
accrued Interest at the rate of 7 per cent
per annum. Thu Chemical National bank
got the money and the books In thn state
treasurer's offlco at Lincoln show no record
of Its disposition by Hartley. The records
are therefore clear that Hartley sold the
warrant In April , 1835 , cashed It In Jan
uary , 1837 , and Hccrotwl the proceeds.
U/niLlTY OK THE HANK.
Attorney General Smyth contends on the
part of the fltaln that the warrant was Ille
gally drawn , that It Ijons an. Illegal rate of
nteretl and tl-at the Omaha National bank
: iad no right to pay It out of fundu belonging
to the state , oven although a cheek for the
amount bearing Hartley's Hlgnaturo was duly
presented. Hnnco suit Is to be brought In
.ho state courta to recover the amount. Tlio
case Is ono of the most Important over , filed
n the history of Nebraska , and Is bounxl
to create a stir In legal circles.
Hartley IH accused of embezzlement of Blalo
Funds and Is under bonds to appear In tlio
llstrlot court of Lancaster county during
ho present term of court , which commcnccn
it Lincoln today , The attorney general lit
nit yet apprised of the exact date upon which
ho criminal cane against Hartley will bo
reached in Lancaster county , HB Is , how
ever , ready for Immediate trial and can luke
ip the case at any data the court may fix ,
I'ho case In the criminal court will he prose-
: ulcd by T , C , Munger , county attorney for
Lancaster county , and ha will have the an-
ilstanco of Attorney General Smyth and hl
leputy , 13 , 1 * . Smith , The rlvll milts against
Jartley und the wuretles on Ills bond will bo
lonductcd by the attorney general In person.
Die last legislature appropriated $5,000 to
liable the governor to employ legal asulHt-
mco In prosecuting atate olllclals accused ot
imbezrloroent , but the attorney general will
lot avail himself of mstlataiicu In the caeca
igalimt Hartley ,
