Constantinople, May 14. Official
dispatches from Larissa dated yesterday
sav the Turkish divisions- which are
marching upon Domokos, Greek head
quarters, occupied the villages of Hadk-
jioamar(Hadzi Amari.Bekrilo, Karalar,
Founar and Vardali. Vardali is only
about five and one-half miles north of
Domokos, and a little west of Sarissa.
Consequently today the Turkish forces
should be before Domokos. Even the
Greek sailing vessels, which, with their
careoes. have been captured by the
Turkish war vessels, have been brought
into the Dardanelles.
Greek Keoccupy Almyros.
Athens, May 14. Advices from bead
quarters of the Greek army at Domokos
announce lhat the Turkish forces are
executing movements which are believed
to foreshadow an attack upon the Greek
position. It -s reported the Turkish left
wing has evacuated Almyros, and is mov
ing toward Pharsala, to the right of the
rear of the place.
General Smolenski, commanding the
Greek right wing, Las reoccupied Almy
ros, restoring telegraphic communication
with Greek headquarters. Unless the
rearward movement by tbe Turks is the
result of the action of the powcsrs.it is
believed to indicate that'Edhem Pasha

paratory to making a general attack

Bis Attorneys Plead With Governor
Budd for a Pardon.
San Francisco, May ,14. Theodore
Durrani, through his attorneys, will ask
Governor. Budd today to pardon him, on
the ground that the real murderer of
Blanche Lamont has at last confessed
his crime. The lawyers declare that
they have not been hoaxed, nor is it
their purpose to impose on the executive.
They insist that in the person of John
Rosenberg, a convict at San Qui n tin
prison, they have discovered the man
who is guilty of the horrors in Emanuel
church.
John Rosenberg has made a sworn
confession before a notary public and in
the presence of several witnesses that
he killed Blanche Lamont at the insti
gation of a stranger, and in consideration
of the payment of $700 for my bloody
work. It is with this sensation that the
attorneys will strengthen their case at
Sacramento today.
The story and its details is one of tbe
most remarkable that has developed in
the case. - Rosenberg is a Russian sailor.
and arrived here on a sailing vessel from
Hamburg daring the last week of March,
1895, or on the first d'av of April. He is
now serving a term for horsestealing,
and appears to be sane. . . r
Tbe Confession Is False.
San Francisco, May 14. The alleged
confession of Convict John Rosenberg,
of San Quintin prison,' that be murdered
Blanche Lamont is utterly discredited
here, no one placing the least credence
in it. - The police pronounce it a baseless
fabrication. .The ship Hospidar, on
which Rosenberg says he came -hither
from Hamburg, arrived according to
the records of the harbor commissioners,
in November, 1895, bnt the police say
- Bne arrived in June, 1895. in either
case, ner arrival was suDsequent to the j
murder ot Blanche Lamont, for which
Durrani ia to fce hanged. - one was
murdered in April, 1895, so Rosenberg
could not possibly be her murderer.

HIS HEAD IS SWELLED
Attitude of the Saltan Dis
turbs the Powers! .
X0T READY TO TREAT FOR PEACE
Hesuinptlon of Fighting by Greeks. In
EpirtM Bart the' Progress of
Peace Negotiations.
Losdox, May 15. The sultan's reply
to the note of the ambassadors at Con
stantinople, offering mediation, eaying
he would be readv to discuss the matter
after the greater Baira'm festival, which
ends on Sunday night, justifies the fear
that tbe powers have lost ground that
iil not be easy to get back. Abdn
Hamid is cool to the point of insolence.
His attitude is that of a' sovereign with
a powerful army behind him, and he is
disposed to treat the powers cavalierly.
Articles published in the semi-official
press of tbe Continent show, that the in
crease in tbe prestige of the sultan is
tbe chief concern of fhe European cabi
nets and that the prospects of an effect'
ive enforcement of the .general reforms
for the Turkish empire'are thereby rele-
gated to the very distant' fntiue.
The Journal des Debats declares that
tbe result ot tbe war has been to place
Turkev in a position she has not held
for tbe past half-century, adding :
"Her tremendous military enort is
largely in excess of what tbe struggle
against Greece required. It was done to
refute tbe allegation of decrepitude and
to demonstrate to tbe sultan's own sub
jects and to those of tbe smaller states
and to the great powers that Turkey is
able to hold her own."
The British, Russian and Austrian
newspapers re-echo these remarks, and
it is generally felt that this fact will
have to be reckoned with in the negotia
tions upon the conditions of peace.
In the meanwhile, tbe postponement
of the sultan's reply until after the great
erBairam festival is interpreted as mean
ing that his maiesty intends that his
army shall continue its victorious ad
vance until every strategic point on the
Othrya mountain range is in the hands
of the Turks, and- that only then will
Edhem Pasha 'receive orders to stop
fighting.
The resumption of fighting by the
Greeks in Epirus is regarded as a foolish
move, and only furnishes Turkey with a
plausible motive for refusing an armis
tice. It also hurts tbe progress of the
peace negotiations.
The cabinets are also occupied with tbe
difficult problem of how Greece will pay
the war indemnity which Turkey seems
certain to demand. M. Delyannis, the
former Greek premier, in his newspaper,
sanguinely argues that Greece cannot be
expected to pay an indemnity because
the Turks "declared the war officially
without provocation." This view of
the question is not shared elsewhere, and
an international commission to adminis
ter finances of Greece on the lines of a
similar Turkish commission is mooted.
The commission would, it is proposed,
sit at Athena and take over the Greek
customs for the purpose of liquidating
the Greek debt and possibly for tbe war
indemnity. ' -'
NEW YORK'S DESTINATION.
The Cruiser Being; Hurriedly Prepared
. for a Zjong Sea Voyage.
New York, May .15. Orders have
been sent to Rear-Admiral Montgomery
Sicard to have his flagship, the New
York, made ready to go to sea from New
York, at a moments warning, according
to a Washington dispatch to the Herald.
She is to fill up with coal to her full
capacity. Tbe haste with which she is
to prepare for sea may be judged from
the fact that, although she needs about
170 tons to fill her bunkers to their full
capacity, this amount . of fuel will be
hurried on board tomorrow. ,
The New York's engines have been
taken apart, and she is undergoing a
thorough overhauling of her motive ma
chinery at her moorings, off Tompkins
ville, S. I., but the engineering force of
the Crosier is doubtless already at ; work
petting the engines together, and it is
believed that she will be ready for sea by
Monday next.
Concerning the flagships destination
nothing can be learned at the navy de
partment, but that her departure from
port has bearing on the Cuban cause is
denied by the secretary. It does not
seem possible that tbe recent routine
order regarding target practice cover the
case of the New York. Not only would
there be no haste in getting her ready
for sea ii target practice and gun exercise
were all that was intended, but there
would be no necessity for filling, np her
coal bunkers. With about 1100 tons al-1
ready Btored, tbe nrusier could remain at j
sea a couple ot weeks without running
short of fuel. The rush to get the re
mainder of her coal on board indicates
a long voyage. ... : V -
It bas been suggested that Consul-General
Lee has renewed ' his request that
a naval force be kept within a short dis
tance of Havana for the protection of
American citizens in that city against
mob violence. There is no corroboration
of this theory, bnt the belief among navy
officers is strong that the New York is
to oe neia in complete readiness to go
to Key West at a moment's warning.
More Trouble In Africa.
. Paris, May 15. There are indications
of a possibility of serious trouble between
France and Morocco, owing to tbe incur
sion of Moorish tribesmen into Algerian
territory. The Moors recently revolted
against the authority of the governor of
Cudida, a town-near the French frontier,
and on Tuesday attempted to sieze an
Algerian village. Tbe French cavalry is
being massed on the frontier of Morocco
and two companies of zouaves and a
number of tirratlleurs, with several field
pieces, have been ordered to hold them
selves in readiness to leave Oran, the port
of Algeria nearest to Morocco. A rum
or is also in circulation that 30 epahis
(Arabian cavalry in the French service)
were surprised by Moors near Magnhia,
who fired several volleys at them. One
of the saphis was wounded.

M'KINLEY TO THE RESCUE.
Rccommeudatlons , for the . Relief of
Americans in Cuba.
Washington, May 17. President Mc-
Kinley today sent to congress a message
recommending that an appropriation of
$50,000 be at once made, for the relief of
destitute Americana in Cuba, and the
removal to American soil of such as wish
to come but are without means to make
the journey. .
In accordance with the president's rec
ommendation, the senate passed without
a. division, a resolution appropriating
$50,000 for the purpose specified in the
message. .
In the house a similar resolution was
presented, but Bailey of Texas. objected
to its consideration without an amend
ment embodying Senator Morgan's reso
lution to recognize the belligerency of
the insurgents. The resolution was
therefore sidetracked.
The cabinet also considered the Cuban
matter today at a special meeting, and
indorsed the recommendations of Presi
dent McKinley regarding relief tneas
nres. The president's message to congress
was as follows :
"To the Senate and House of Represen
tative ot the United States
"Official information from our consuls
in Cuba establishes the fact that a large
number of American citizens in the isl
and are in a state of destitution, suffer
ing for want of food and medicines.
This applies particularly to the rural
districts in the central and eastern parts
of the island. The agricultural classes
have been forced from their farms into
the nearest towns, where tbey are with
out work or money. Local authorities
of the several towns, however kindly
disposed, are unable to relieve the needs
of their own people and are altogether
powerless to help our citizens. . .
"Tbe latest report from Consol-Gen-eral
Lee estimates that from 600 to 800
Americans are without means of sup
port. I have assured him provisions
will be made to relieve them. - To that
end, I recommend that, congress make
an appropriation of not less than $50,000
to be immediately available for use
under direction of the secretary of state.
It is desirable . that part of the sum
wljich may be appropriated by congress
should, in tbe discretion of the secretary
of state, also be used for the transporta
tion of American citizens, who, desiring
to return to tbe United States are with
out means to do so. , . . '''.
