Lo.n'dok, March 8. The reply of
Greece to the identical notes of the pow
er', delivered at Athens Thursday last,
insisting upon the withdrawal of the
Greek troops from Crete and the Greek
fleet from Cretan waters, was received
here at noon. It conforms to the fore
cast cabled exclusively by the Associated
Press. A cabinet council was immedi
ately held, after which the Marquis of
Salisbury went to Windsor to consult
the queen. There was great animation
in the foreign office. Nearly every am
bassador called during the day.
The rcplr of Greece -to the identical
notes of the powers is regarded in offi
cial circles here as of a most favorable
nature. It is believed the .crisis will
soon bejpast, as the Greek note at least
furnishes a basis upon which a compro- j
mise satisfactory to all concerned can be
speedily reached.
The stock exchange here and the
bourses on the continent reflect the con
fident feeling.
Cemeteries Desecrated.
Caxea, March 8. Turkish officials are
allowing the Mussulmans to desecrate
the cemeterieB and monasteries. Coffins
are being forced open and remains being
thrown into fields, the object being to
Eteal valuables buried with the dead.

date, the Greek minister here, on the

cials with a party of Greek engineers
repairing a road near the frontier, in
Thessaly, Tewfik Pasha, tha Turkish
minister of foreign atlairs, assured the
prince that orders bad been sent to the
authorities on the Turkish frontier to
avoid snch provoking incidents.
AVIll Fight for Kmc George.
Sax Fiuncisco, March 8. In response
to queries relative to the number of
Greeks resident upon the Pacific coast
who are ready and fit for active service,
the president of the local Hellenic
Society eays :
"There are about 1000 Greeks on the
coast. They are engaged in various
business pursuite. Out of this number
at least COO are willing to serve their
country, and here in this city 150 men
have notified the consul that they are
ready to leave for Greece or Crete at a

WETLER'S WAY OF MAKING WAR.
Complete Devastation of Cuba His Ul
timate Object.
New Youk, March 8. Sylvester Sco
vel, the World's Cuban correspondent,
in prison at Sancti Spiritus, writes from
his cell under date of March 1 :
"Some idea of how Spain is making
war here may be gained from Weyler's
own words. Two weeks ago this captain-general
of all Cuba had the alder
men of the town, and the townspeople
assemble in the public square. Address
ing them, he said :
" 'Last year Gomez and Maceo went
west, destroying right and left; this
year I am coming east to fiinish what
they left, I am going to make grim war,
and before I get through ihe country
will be as bare as the palm of my hand.'
"The troops in the town have acted
like vandals. They are in many in
stances quartered on private families.
Twenty were allotted to the house of a
mulatress of good repute. I am inform
ed that they horribly abused the hostess.
Although General Weyler has hitherto
sternly prohibited and mercilessly pun
ished such atrocities of his soldiers, they
have been rare. Cattle for this large
number of Boldiers have been killed on
the public streets and their entrails left
to fester and rot under the hot Cuban
sun, spreading disease.
"'Bobbery by soldiers has become
prevalent. At last a Spanish clerk in a
Spanish store pursued one thieving sol
dier who had stolen a hat and killed
him. The clerk will, of course, be shot.
He is in jail now.
"All about town the skies are dark
with the smoke of burning property.
Five newly built houses of American es
tates at Tnincue, near here, have been
devastated. All the corn was burned by
the troops four days ago. Farmhouses
were razed to the ground. As I have no
means of verifying them. I make no
mention of the stories of wholesale
slaughter of farmers in the country
around about.
"Whoever the Cuban chief near here
has been, he has been in some hot fight
ing. Fully 500 wounded have been
brought back to town by ox team. I
can Bee hospitals from my cell window,
The Spaniards and Cubans have been
maltreated here."
Railroad Train Cannot Be Stored.
St. Paul, March 8. Minnesota and
North and South Dakota are in a ner
vous condition over the prospects of the
next few davs. It has.Bnowed every day
Hiid month. Sunday's storm being the
greatest in -veeks. Railroad trains are
tifid in everv direction and inauy small
branches are abandoned. The legisla
ture at Pierre, which adjourned on Jfri-
day, is tied up as tightly as if under
siege. Npt a train is running into or

out of Pierre. There is almost the same
state of things at Aberdeen, Blount,
Gettysburg, Millbank and Chamberlain.
General Superintendent Harding, of the
Great Northern, came in last night from
a trip to the Pacific coast. Speaking of
the snow, he said :
"In all my career I never 6aw any
thing like it. A conservative estimate
would place the snow in North Dakota
at three feet on the plains. It is proba
bly nearer four feet."
Telegrams indicate another storm is
on.
A Walk-out In New York.
New York, March S. The first of a
series of strikes that will probably in
volve 10,000 mechanics of the building
trades was ordered by a committe of the
board of walking delegates at the new
Columbia college buildings. Over 500
workmen quit. The committee pro
ceeded to other large buildings to order
strikes.
It is said work will be stopped on
every large structure now in course of
construction in this city. The strike is
the outgrowth of a dispute between
labor organizations as to which should
control the work on elevators.
Dangers of the Grip.
The greatest dangers from La Grippe
is of it resulting in pneumonia. If rea
sonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
ten? of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, we have yet to
learn of a single case having resulted
in pnenmonia, which shows conclusively
that this remedy is a certain preventive
of that dread disease. It will affect a
oermanent cure in less time than any
other treatment. The 25 and 50 cent

The Flood in Illinois.
Carlisle, 111., March 8. The river
is still rising. The water is now at a
stage within one foot of the unprece
dented flood of 1892. The suspension
bridge across the river at this point is
threatened with distruction. An ad
ditional rise of two feet will sweep away
the bridge, and will entail a loss of $25,
000. Thousands of logs and rafts are
lost in the swift current. One hun
dred thousand bushels of corn which is
stored in cribs in the overflowed district
will be a total loss.
Thomas Coiult, Missionary.
Beloit, Wis., March 8. Thomas
Condt, aged 90, is dead. From 183G to
185G he was a missionary to the Ha
waiian islands. He was the last of a
company of 30 missionaries who left for
the islands in 1836. He was the first
white person the natives of Maui island
ever saw.
Indian Sealers Strike
Victoria, March 8. Indiana on the
west coast are reported to ha7e refused
to ship as sealers for less than three
dollars a skin. Nearly all the schoon
ers are tied up on the coast trying to
arrange matters.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proyen catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrah Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It iB taken internally In doses from ten
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure, bend for

Something to Depend On.
Mr, James Jones, of Ihe drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that
last winter iiis wife was attacked with
LaGrippe, and her case grew so seriuus
that physicians at Cowden and Puna
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she be
gan to get better from the first dose, and
half dozen dollar buttles cured her sound
and well. Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it. Free trial bottles at Blakeley &
