a
Rich Haul.
CUBANS SPURN SPAIN'S OFFERS
Otraei Bays: "The OnlT .Exchange for
Peace, Is Liberty and Independ
ence. These or Nothing."
Athens, April 23, 9 a. m. After' the
bombardment of Katrina. on the Golf of
Salonica, by the' Greek squadron, : had
pat to flight two batallions,of Turks and
the inhabitants of that place; the Greek
fleet landed a detachment and found the
Turks bad left behind immense stores of
- provisions destined for the armies of Ed
hem PaBha. These valuable stores had
1 been left unprotected in the belief by
the Turks that a blockade of Greece by
. the powers would . prevent the Greek
fleet from attacking the Turkish town
. In the Gulf of Salonica, which is near
'- the railroad to Salonica, and which has
; been used as a point to land stores for
the Turkish arinv and forward them to
the front.
The capture of these stores, not to
mention the loss of the stores, places a
serious difficulty in the path of Edhem
. Pasha, and it is stated here that as soon
as the ' Turkish commander-in-chief
beard the news of the capture of Plato-
mona and Katarina be dispatched 10,000
men towards the coast of Macedonia,
fearing a flank attack from the Gulf of
Salonica.
The Greek fleet, in returning from the
capture of Katrina bombarded the post
:. of Litchoro.
- A dispatch from Larissa says yesterday
after the Greeks fortified Mayrevchori,
to which place they retreated after evac
uating Nezeros, they reoccupied Ratzina
and Hegania, which although abandoned
by . the Greeks, the Turks failed to
occupy. ; ' - ':- " """' : -i ' r

Weyler OTertures- for Peace' Treated
With Contempt.
New Yoke, April 23. A letter to the
World from' Havana, dated ; April 14,
says:
' General Weyler has put down his last
card here and lost. His commission has
"l reported tobim that General Gomez will
not receive it. The members are Senora
Marcos Garcia, of Sancti Spiritus; Spor
tuno of Trinidad, and Fernandez, of
Cienfuegos. They sought to carry to the
rebel chieftain a message that if he would
, end the war Spain would grant the most
' perfect autonomy to Cuba under the
safest guarantee. General Gomez sent
. - word that they could not eater his camp;
bis sole exchange for peace J was liberty
and independence.
The World courier saw General Wey
ler on the deck ot a steamer at: Tnnas
last Monday night, ordering the guardia
civil to clear the pier of the crowd wait
ing to take the road. The soldiers club
bed the people with guns, but the crowd
did not move fast enough to suit the gen
eral. He swore (earful oaths, calling
the people vile names, and finally : sent
. Escribano, his chief of staff, to make the
people go away. Escribano with a club
''- laid about him knocking down "several
of the quietest and most influential citi
zens of the district. -Petro Lopez, a
' cattle owner, shipping cattle, was knock
ed down a hatchway by one of Weyler's
lieutenants.
Weyler went to Jocairo, returning at 5
a. m. He refused to go in the cars to
Sancti Spiritus, but went on horseback.
As he passed along he drew soldierB from
the forts. Some of the soldiers were
- overcome by the heat, and the dead were
left along the road. Weyler crossed the
road at the spot where Quinten Bandera
had crossed with a large force cf Cubans
the day before. ,
' Gomez, Bandera and other . patriot
- leaders were camped near Sancti Spirit
us. Their location was well know, but
Weyler made no effort to attack them.
' Bandera then with perfect ease crossed
the trocha and is now in Puerto Principe.
Signs that Spain is bard pushed are be
coming more and more manifest. The
troops guarding the imperial ways are
being withdrawn and the garrisons of
the interior towns and cities are being
x registered. . Soldiers by hundreds ' are
leaving for Spain by ' every " steamer.
Their places are taken by ' forces trans
r ferred from the country. Thus the in
terior is being rapidry abandoned, the
porta are more strongly protected and a
considerable number of. toroops sent
.back home. ' ,
All of these are moves in the desperate
game Spain is now forced to play. She
must have money and to raise a, loan is
impossible as long as the war in Cuba
continue. General Weyler, therefore, is
getting ready to declare the island paci
fled. As a Droof it will be annonced
that there ts no longer use for a larg
army, and consequently il is being r re-
daced. ' - ..-'.'.

ince. They never were more powerful

First Vacancy Upon the Supreme Bench
- wU Be fll.
Chicago. April 23. A Times-Herald
soecial from Washington says:
Although President McKinley. has
made no disclosures concerning the mat
ter, so far as known, there is an un
derstanding that when the first vacancy
occurs upon the supreme bench, Attor
ney-General MeKenna will be appointed
to a place in the court, and Judge Will
iam Dav. of Canton, .will . be his suc
cessor. ..
Judge Day was one of McKinlev's first
choices for the cabinet, but Mr. Day
who is responsible to' the heirs of . his
wifeia father for . the . management . of
their estate, which has for some : time
been in anything but a satisfactory con
dition, did not think he could take either
this post or that of solicitor-general
which he was also urged to accept. It
is well known tbat Mr. ' MeKenna pre
fers to be upon the bench, and that . now
that Judge Day has succeeded in reliev
ing himself of a large part of the respon
sibiiity concerning the property com
mitted to his care in Canton, it is be
lieved he will be willing to become
member of the McKinley administra
tion. ' :.
Mr-MeKenna, it has been remarked
goes to the supreme court every decision
day and listens carefully to the proceed'
ings. Among his intimate friends there
is an understanding that he expects to
go on the bench within a year or two in
case there should be a vacancy.
Whether or not Justice Field will be
willing to retire next August, when i bis
term of service will exceed that of Chief
Justice Marshall, remains to be seen
Among his colleagues on the bench there
is a belief tbat Justice Field has no in
tention of retiring, and that he will - die
in tbejatness. . ..... '.':.

Risen, at La Grande.

stable J. R. Collins, acting under in
structions from Sheriff Hunter, of .Mos
cow. f aimer is accused of the murder
of Eli Risen, June 19, three years ago,
'at La Grande, Or. t On the morning of
that dav that town was awakened by
three shots fired in rapid succession
when soon afterward the body of Risen
was found lying on a crosswalk, shot
through the -back. The coroner's : jury
returned a verdict of .murder at the
hands of James Palmer, who had de
parted for regions unknown. ; The cause
of the quarrel, it is supposed, was the
attention paid to Palmer's -wife . by
Risen.' Palmer came here three or four
months ago, gaining a living by wood
chopping and other odd jobs, and was
generally considered a quiet and honest
man. He is apparently about 30 years
old, and took his arrest cooly. The con
stable and prisoner left in a buggy for

Report That She Will Soon Open Kego
tlations With Turkey.
Paris. April 26. The Berlin corres
pondent of Figaro telegraphs that it is
eemi-officially announced Greece , will
neither solicit nor accept the interven
tion of tbe powers, and is preparing to
negotiate direct with Turkey." , 1
, An A freemen t Reached.
New-Yoek,: April 26, A .dispatch to
tbe Journal from Berlin says:
The Taceblatt announces that definite
agreement bas lieen. reached between
Russia and Austria concerning Turkey.
The terms of the agreement.it is said.
are that the sultan shall renounce Crete ;
that tbe czar shall be given a coaling
station at Suda bay in that island, and
tbat in return Russia shall guarantee
the integrity of Turkey.'"
The advantage of this arrangement to
tbe nations interested is obvious. Rus
sia, in. command of one of the most im
portant ports'; in Crete, will be greatly
strengthened in the line of ber coveted
advance toward tbe south. Turkey,
with .the formidable power of the czar
behind her, will have been secured al
most beyond the possibility of disaster,
a position from whicu she ran rule ber
troublesome subjects without fear of re
volt encourged by the hope of . foreign
interference. She. would be more than
willing that Russia should assume such
a protectofate over her empire. .
To this agreement, Austria, France
and Germany will.jt is understood, give
their consent. ; England alone has not
made known ber views on the Question.
In the best-informed quarters, however,
it is believed that a very strong protest
will be certain to come from tbe court of
St. James. .,'-''
Emperor William's share in tbe pro
posed arrangement has been consider
able. I have learned that while in -
Vienna, he acted as intermediary be
tween Russia and Austria. Not the
least effect of his mediation will be the
approaching trip of Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria to St.. Petersburg.
Among diplomats, the visit will have a
determining influence npon the settle
ment of the Eastern crisis.
Bad Outlook for Greece.
Rome, April 26. Opiniono says semi
officially this morning: .
'The hour is a grave one for Greece.
Her abandonment of Larissa is more
than adequate as .a demonstration of im
potence and the consequences are incal
culable unless she bas the courage to ne
gotiate and withdraw her troops from '
Crete.".. '
