SOFIA. August 16. It is alleged that
the primary cause of the fighting at
Ahiolu on August 12 was the conduct of
the Greeks in trying to forcibly prevent
a Bulgarian meeting there, peasants
from outlying villages assembling for
the meeting beting received with rifle
shots from the Greek. The Bulgarians
returned to their tillages, procured arm
and then attacked the Greeks who wen?
vreed to withdraw and barricade them
selves within their church.
Fighting continued around the church
the whole day. The police vainly ap
pealed to the Greeks to cease firing while
they dispersed the peasants. A Greek
priest in command at the church, it is
alleged, incited the Greeks to continue
hostilities. Five hundred houses were
destroyed by the fire started during the
fighting. Altogether eleven persons per
ished, five of the victims being Bul
garians. The Greek bishop, who was sup
posed to have been incinerated, was
found hiding and was arrested as being
principally responsible for the outbreak.
Minister of the Interior Petkoff has
gone to Ahiolu to organize relief and to
stop the anti-Greek movement.

Local Steamers AH Busy,
T P"""
With the departure of the British
steamship Comerk? for Australia from
Portland yesterday, there are only three
British craft remaining in that harbor.
They are the steamship Beckenham and
the ships Galgate and Brabloch. The
Comeric carries a cargo of 2.800,000 feet
of lumber for Port Pirie. She finished
loading several days ago, but waa de
layed waiting for advices from home a
to her destination. Of the other British
vessels, the Breekenhani is loading lum
ber for the Orient and the Brabloch is
loading wheat at the Oceanic dock for
the United Kingdom. The Galgate is
on the disengaged list.
According to advices received yester
day by Captain Guerie, of the Frenen
shin Laennec, now in Portland, ship
Vauban, which called at this port last
vear, and which was en route from F.u-
rope to San Francisco, was wrecked by
striking a reef off the Asore Islands.
Captain Guerie received a letter from
Captain LeDantee, of the Yauban, which
does not state the date of the wreck,
and it is presumed to have occurred a
few weeks ago. AH hands were rescued
and taken to Barcelona. The letter also
conveyed the intelligence of the loss of
the French bark Cassard, while en route
from Sydney, N. S- W., to Falmouth.
The S. E. Slade Lumber Company of
Portland is to inaugurate a new experi
ment In the shipping line, as they intend
to have schooners loaded with lumber
towed to San Francisco by tugs. In this
manner they hope to save much time en
route, as the vagaries of the wind when
trusting to canvas sometimes requires
from three to four weeks to make the
trip down the coast, whereas the tow
ing of the vessels to San Francisco can
be accomplished within a week or 10
days.
The Harvest Queen fastened on to
the four-masted schooner Prosper yes
terday morning, and departed for Van
couver, where the latter vessel will load
out lumber for some port yet to be de
termined. The Prosper' crew was paid
off here at the custom house, the sum of
$1000 being required for the purpose.
The barkentine Jane L. Stanford was
hauled to the O. It. & N. pier yesterday
morning, by the Harvest Queen, and will
take on the balance of her deck load of
lumber. She is completely re-rigged and
in fine shape for her long voyage to
Sydney.
The steamer Lurline left up last even
ing in good season with the following
people registered on her cabin list: F. E.
Coulter, J. A. Dippel, F. S. Dimmit, Mr.
and Mrs. R. D. Rhodes, and Miss E. B.
Melville.

"THE DANITES."
Large Crowd Last Night at the Star
Theatre.
The production last night came up to
everyone' expectations, lx-ing a most
remarkably strong comedy drama, anl
one of those pleasing bills where there's
sufficient comedy to sustain and enliven
the story. Mr. Willard as Sandy shows
to great advantage, as the romantic
Western character suits most admirably,
and the portrayal of such a different
character, from Zeze Fortune of Wednes.
day, illustrates his wonderful versatility.
The great beauty of this actor's work is
naturalness in every detail. Mr. Willard
has made good in every character he has
assumed and as "Sandy," he is indeed
strong. Mr. Morton's "Parson" was an
exceedingly good piece of acting as was
Mr. Blanchard, as the "Judge," with his
"glorious climate of California." Our
friend "Washee," the Chinaman, wns
handled most cleverly by Mr. Elton.
Mrs. Shepard as "Nancy Williams" and
"Betty Piper" has a hard part to sus
tain, but carried it most admirably. Miss
Gerschel, as a widow, portrayed her part
very creditably, as did Miss Bell, Mr.
LaytonV Danite" is a very nice concep
tion and in the scene at the bar not
much is said, but there seemed a great
relief throughout the audience, when thi
door closed without some one dying in
their boots.
