IRE FIGHTING HARD
Turks Pushing Their Way
Into Greece.
FIERCE BATTLE IX MILOUXA PASS
TurkUU Fiirt Are Silenced ty Klne
Georce'ti WarshipsThe Fighting
at Kirja--Kelntlous Severed.
Foot of Milocxa Pass, April IS. 10
a. m. A fierce battle raged in the pass
all night long. The Greeks entered and
descended toward the valley, encounter
ed four battalions of Turkish troops, who
drove them back, and at the point of the
bayonet rescued the force garrisoning the
Turkish blockhouses, which the Greeks
bad encircled before entering the pass.
Xehad Pasha, commanding the Fifth
division, occupied Mount Harnia, with
a great force, while Hairi Pasha, com
manding the Sixth division, prepared to
enter the the Tschaisahn pass, and Haida
Pasha, with the Fourth division, occu
pied the Milouna pass.
Before dawn Edhim Pasha rode out to
direct the disposition of the divisions
A general engagement ensued. The
battle still continues along the entire
pass, over 20,000 men being engaged
The combat turned on the possession of
the Greek blockhouse, which was most
obstinately defended. Several vigerous
attacks were made by the Turks, with
out success, but finally, about 9 o'clock,
by a magnificent dash, they took the
blockhouse at the point of the bayonet.
The Greeks are still defending their
positions on the eummit of the bill. At
the present moment four battalious of
Mendukh Pasha's division are advanc
ing to the frontier positions already tak
en. The Torks are fighting like demons,
the Turkish artillery doing eplendid exe
cution under t.fae command of Riza
Pasha.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press says :
"I regret to have to announce the
death of Hafiz Pasha at Milouna. The
battle is still undecided, but the Turks,
without cahing up the reserves, have
taken almost the whole pass. It is Im
possible to give details as to losses. I
saw many groups of wounded men, but
they were mostly on the bights. Am
bulances have been sent to bring them
in. I cannot say whether the Turks in
tend to advane on Lariesa."
lirutal MurtU-r of faciflcon.
Sew York, April 17. A World dis
patch from Havana by way of Jackson
ville, F!a., says :
A camp of pacificos near Manges,
Pinar del Eio, has been raided and more
than forty persons elain. The camp
sheltered refugees from San Cristobal
and neighboring places, driven from
there by the impossibility of getting
food. They had begun cultivating crops
for their own use. Colonel San Martin
heard of it from a spy, and sent Captain
earoa with twenty men to break up the
camp.
The camp was surprised at night, the
men tied to trees, their huts burned and
their crops destroyed. The men were
kept tied up a day without food and
water, while the guerrillas caroused with
and maltreated the women captives.
Then both men and women were shot.
Pive hundred Cubans ambushed three
battalions of Spanish troops on the Arte
Ua military road and killed nearly 200.
The Cubans lost nearly 100.
No ISreaks at Natchez.
Natchez, Miss., April 17. The gauge
here shows another rise ot four-tenths
during the last twenty-four hours. No
breaks are reported in the immediate
vicinity, but the best-posted and most
Miabie authorities admit that the
levees are standing a much greater strain
than had ever been expected of them.
Hundreds of refugees are filling the
c'ty, some being in a pitiable condition,
almost starved, and with nothing left
them but the clothes they wear.
Wheat Take A Jump.
Sew Vokk, April 17. The was tre
mendous excitement in the wheat mar
et today. Prices advanced four cente a
, aeLfcl in a Uttle ovr two uourfl. Deal-'
ln88 ran un into th mint. Th
up
shorts
tneir orders to buy flooded the market l
from start to finish. War news and '
foreign buying were the (actors which j
occasioned the tumult. The foreign
buying was bv far the heaviest ccen in i
long time. No limit was set on the ex-
Pinion oi toreign orders, which read
"Buy wheat, "and it was bought at any
figure. During the recular session May
went from 73l2 to 7S cents, and later on
the curb to 79,ls cents. To other in
fluences was added the export demand
at the close, Liverpool taking 35 loads.
The market was at fever heat all day,
and left off at its wildest point. Total
sales were between 0,000,000 and 6,500,
000 bushels.
The IMver at St. Loui.
St. Lous. April 17. The river here
this morning showed but a decline of
three-tenths of a foot for the past
twenty-fonr hours, and the prediction is
that it will change but little during the
next two davs. Above here, however.
slight rises are marked on the Missis-'
sippi at Booneviile and Kansas Citv, !
and on the MississiDDl at Hnnnihnl. I
Keokuk and Davenport, Weather Ob-1
server Frankenfield thinks the Missouri '
will continue to rise slowlv. and tht. I
upper Mississippi will also rise gently; j
but no danger stages are indicated south
of Keokuk with the water now in sight.
Canvos Says It Isn't So.
Washington-, April 17. Tiie Spanish
minister has received a telegram from
the president of the council of ministers,
Senor Canovas, saying that the report of
the recall of 30,000 men from Cuba has
no more foundation than the fact of its
publication in an opposition paper of
Madrid.
Minister de Lome says no soldiers will
be withdrawn from Cuba. Captain-Gen
eral Weyler has telegraphed that he does
not need any more reinforcements to
terminate the war.
Belief Work In Arkansas.
Little Rock, Ark., April 17. Gover
nor Jones today received a telegram
from his secretary, who is distributing
funds in the flooded district, stating that
a most deplorable state of affairs exists
In Monroe county. He estimates that
there are 2000 persons and 10,000 head
of stock in that county in need of im
mediate assistance to prevent starvation.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alterative is felt, A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi
cine will act more eureiy counteracting
and freeing the system from the malar
