LONDON , May II The correspondent of the limes at Athens says : "The resumption of offensive operations In Eplrus greatly complicates the situation and tends to hamper the negotiations for peace. The evident Intention of the Greek com manders Is to capture thc < Turkish positions thcro In order to show that they have not been defeated , "In an Interview today M.

We cannot allow our ac tivity to bo confined to The. saly , where the Turkish are preponderant.

MAY SEND A MESSAGE TO CONGRESS Senator Iltirroun I'olnlM Oitt Hint Cf- fortw to Uollcvc DlMtrcrm Would , lie Kutllc n ml Onlj Alii the WASHINGTON' , May 14. President Me- Klnlcy has under earnest consideration the advisability ot sending a message to con- grcsa nett week on the Cuban question , but has not } et come to a decision In the matter , though he Is nt present Inclined to send to the legislative branch a communication BUK- gcstlng that measures be adopted to relieve the distress among American Uhldcnts In Cuba. The message , If It goes In , will bo cntliely pacific 1m tone , and It can be stated on good authority will not bo ot a warlike or sensational tenor. In order to have the factt on which to predicate a message , Mr. McKlnley has had cablegrams sent to ever } consular ofllccr In Cuba asking each of them to give cxac' ' Information as to the status of affairs In hla district and to tele-graph replies at once It Is understood todaj by some members of the senate committee on foreign iclatlons that this Information no doubt would bo communicated to the senate , but whether It would be accompanied by a mca- sago recommending action was jet a matter of doubt. The piospccts arc , however , that considerable opposition may develop In the senate to , i klnglc proposition of relief Sena tor Burrows of Michigan today pointed out the objections to such a | rocedure. "Aro we going to feed the Spanish army and assist We > ler in his campaign ? " he asked. "The dlstilbutlon of relief Is almost Impossible ) and the scheme thoroughlv Im practicable. How Is the citizenship of the people asking relict to bo determined and must there be an Investigation of the citizen ship of every starving woman and child who asks relief ? Wo will bo prevented from tak ing care of the Americana In the Insurgent lines and cannot relieve distress even In the Insurgent hospitals We shall simply bo helping Spain feed her hungry people " The cabinet met at 10 o'clock this morning an hour earlier than usual , to discuss the Cuban situation. Secretary Sherman brought over from ! the State department a number of documents , presumably reports of Consul General - oral Lee. After the meeting had convened Assistant Secictary of State Diy arrived with some additional papers. The Cuban situation was gone over In detail , as shown by the latest reports from the Island. It was an nounced after 11 o'clock that a message on Cuba would not ba sent to congress on Monday , but whether or not ono will be scut In later In the week Is not yet settled. NO OBJECTION TO UELIEF WORK. The Spanish minister , Depuy do Lome , called at the State department shortly before noon today and conferred for some time with Assistant Sccretarj Day relative to the re ported Intention of this government to send relief to American sufferers In Cuba. The minister gave assurance that the Spanish government would bo In s > mpathy with any benevolent movement nnd would lend every aealitanco to It It was recalled by the min ister that four months ago he had written the olllccrs of the lied Cross soelctj giving , In oehalf of his government , full authority for extending aid to the sufferers In Cuba. Since then , however , no steps toward relief have been taken. The Spanish minister does not question the existence ot misery and suffering In the Island , but declares that It Is such only us accompanies Insurrection and war , heightened In this case by the dlseas ° s peculiar to trop ical countries. U Is stated that these con ditions have existed for months and 1me be on well known. As to the severltj of the nifferlng. It Is said , It consists only In the lick of adequate food , medicine and nursing for the sick and destitute. The statements that the people- are djlng In the streets are not admitted at the legation , but are dis credited , and as to the Americans , It Is paid that there are n number of well-to-do Ameri cans In Cuba who would icllove any ex treme distress on the pait of their fellow countrjmen The manner of sending relief to Cuba , If It shall be decided upon by the president and congress , has been discussed among ofllclalfi and In some quartcra tt Is felt that the dis patch of a vessel would be Inadvlsibl" It In said that the quickest and surest way would bo to send relief by the ordinary freight routes which have facilities for reaching the various portb and Interior points In Cuba The centers of suffering aio widely separated , so that a relief vpt > scl to any ono poit would eicounter maiiv dela > s and dlf- tlcultleti In giving eneedy relief to the people needing It MATTERS AIIE MORE QUIET. The fact that the senate was not In session toJay and that comparatively few scnalors woio at the capital had a quieting effect on Cuban affairs There was still , however , much Interest In the course that the matter ma } take on Monday. Sonalor Morgan said the message of the president , it it should onlj apply to tcllef measure.s In the way of food and clothing , would not cause him to deviate from his purpose of pressing his resolution for the recognition of n state of war as ho had given notice ho would do before It was assumed that the president would send In such a message. The friends of thoMoigan resolution will not antagonl/co measures contemplating temporal'relief , but they am not disposed to accept such meas ure's In place of a moro general and fur-reach- Ing declaration.

Some of the pro-Cubans take * the position that any supplies sent to Cuba nould mcrnly aid the Spanish cause , as they would practically amount to a contri bution to Spain Hence there Is a possibility of apposition to the proposed charity Senator Morgan has no purpose of chang ing the farm ot his resolution In any respect.

I think that ho has that right and I think that IT IS A DUTY THAT THK ASSOCIATED PHESS OWES TO HIM TO MAKI3 HIM SOME UI2PAUAT10N FOIl TH12 EXTRA MONEY HE HAS EX PENDED AND NOT TO ALLOW THE WOHLD-HEUALD TO COME IN HERE NOW ON AN EQUAL FOOTING WITH HIM , when this Associated Press Is In a better con dition than It c\er was before , come In on an equal footing , \\ltliout giving him some recompense for the tlino and money expended and the rhk ho has taken. "It wa said jesterday that the World-Horald lost $2I > ,000 bj losing Its franchise vvh n thn United Press wont down. Suppose the Associated Press went down , where would Mr. Hosewater's franchise ha\o been ? Ho would lm\o been out more than $23,000 , Includ ing the money ho had expended for tolls alid extra war funds. "Now I am going to do this. I am going to lot this restraining order stand hero Just as It is until after the meeting of HICHO stockholders In Chicago , which will occur In a week or two , nnd let Mr. Ilosewnter go before that board of stockholders and pre- edit his claim there and let them make some arrangements. If they don't malco some ar rangements I will It this ease Is tried bcforo me Uut the Atsoclated Press must give the World-Herald and the Lincoln Journal .1 franchise , glvo them a right to publish thin news ; put them on an equal business standing , so far as the Associated Press Is con cerned , and let them vvoi/c / out their own salvation hero In local matters. "Now It la eald , how can Mr. Ilceewatcr bo recompensed ? Who whall say what his damages 1mo been ? Well , In the llrst place n court of equity has got pretty liberal power In that regard , nnd In the second place an example has been set hero for this court. When Mr. llosewater came Into some association a few jears ago it has been stated tome mo hero that ho had to pay nine or ten thousand dollars to get In and that he had to pay as much tolls to these papers as the other two papers , the Omaha Herald and the Omaha Republican , were pajIng. Well , If this matter could ha\o been bettlcd then on a Just basis for the Herald and the Republican thcro Is no reason why It cannot be settled on a Just basis for The JJeo , and I do not see any reason why a court of eqult > cannot gel at It , and If a board of equity cannot get at it a court of equity can get within fl\o or ten thousand dollars ot It , and what Is five or ten thousand dollars to the Arsoclated Press when It has an Income , I am told , which is ono thousand dollars a day o\cr and ubo\o Its expenses It Is better to make a mistake against this Associated Press of $25,000 than to hamper nnd destroy the papers of this city and Lincoln , papers that have been built up at an enormous cost.
