for
Atiikxs, April L3, 9 a. in. After the
bombardment of Kiurhia. on the Gulf of
C.iImiiipo lie flip firpnb- finiiiirlrnn UnA
put to flight two batallions of Turks aud
the inhabitants of that place, the Greek
fleet landed a detachment and found the
Turks had left behind immense stores of
provisions destined for the armies of Ed
lieni Pasha. These valuable stores had
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 towns
in the Gulf of Salonica, which is near
the railroad to Salonica, and which ha3
been used as a point to land stores for
the Turkish army 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
I'nsha. and it is stated here that as soou
as the Turkish commander-in-chief
heard the news of the capture of Plato
mona and Katarina he dispatched 10,000
men towards the coast of Maoedania,
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 Larisaa says yeBterday
after the Greeks fortified Mayrevchori,
to which place they retreated after evac
uating Nezeros, they reoccupied Katziua
and Hegania, which although abandoned
by the Greeks, the Turks failed to
occupy.

Xi:w Yoiik, 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
reported to him that General Gomez will
not receive it. The members are Senors
Mai cos 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 moat
perfect autonomy to Cuba under the
safest guarantee. General Gomez sent
word that they could not enter his camp ;
his sole exchange for peace was liberty
and independence.
The World courier saw General Wey
ler on the deck ot n steamer at Tunas
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 fearful ontliB, calling
the people vile names, and finallv sent

lieutenants.
Weyler went to Jucairo, returning at 5

oancti Spiritus, but went on horseback.
As lie passed along he drew soldiers from
the forta. Some of the soldiers were
overcome by tho heat, and the dead were
left along the road. Weyler crossed the

leaving for Spain by every steamer.
Their places are taken by forces trans
ferred from the country. Thus the in
terior is being rapidjy abandoned, the
ports are more strongly protected and a
considerable number of toroops eent
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
fied. As a proof it will be annouced
that there Is no longer use for a large
army, and consequently it is being re
duced. The rebels are active in every prov
ince. They never were more powerful.

James rainier, Accused or Rilling Ell
Klgen, at La Grande.
J uliaett.v, April 22. This place was
considerably stirred up this morning by
the arrest of James Palmer by Con
stable J. R. Collins, acting under in
structions from Sheriff Hunter, of Mos
cow. Palmer is accused of the murder
of Eli Risen, June 19, three years ago,
at La Grande, Or. On the morning of
that day 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
i 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
Moscow.
Mrs. A. Inveen, residing at 720 Henry
St., Alton, 111., suffered with sciatic
rheumatism for over eight months. She
doctored for it nearly the whole of this
time, using various remedies recom
mended by friends, and was treated by
the physicians, but received no relief.
She-then used one and a half bottles of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which affect
ed a complete cure. This is published
at her request, as she wants others simi
larly afllicted to know what cured her.

Pout Towxsexu, Wash., April 22.
After being shut down nearly six years,
the Port Ludlow sawmill, one of the
largest on the Sound, will resume oper
ations the middle of June. The mill
and accesories will furnish employment
for 350 men. The starting of the mill
will be brought about by the increated
foreign demand for lumber.

First Vacancy Upon ilie Supreme Bench

Chicago, April 23. A Times-Herald
special from Washington says :
Although President McKinlev has
made no disclosures concerning the mat
ter, so far as known, there is an un
derstanding that when the first vacanrv
occurs upon the supreme bench, Attor
ney-General Mclvenna will be appointed
to a place in the court, and Judee Will
iam Day, of Canton, will be his sue
cessor.

their estate, which hns for some time

this post or that of solicitor-general,
which he was also urged to accept. It

muted to his care in Canton, it is be
lieved he will be willing to become
member of the McKinlev administra
tion.
Mr. McKenna, 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.
hether or not Justice Field will be
willing to retire next August, when his
term of service will exceed that of Chief
Justice Marshall, remains to be Eeen.
Among his colleagues on the bench there
is a belief that Justice Field has no in
tention of retiring, and that he will die
in the harness.
Something to Know.
It may be- worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
cently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges
tion aud is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. Trv it. Sold for
50c or .fl.00 per bottle at Blakeley &

King Huinliert'H Escape.
Rome, April 22. At 2:30 this after
noon, while King Humbert was on his
way to the races, a man named Pietro
Acciarito, an iron-worker, out of em
ployment, attempted to stab his majesty
with a dagger. The man was seized be
fore he could carry out his purpose, and
the king proceeded to the Campenelle
race course, seemingly unmoved. Ar
riving at the race course, his majesty
was greatly cheered.
Acciarito appears to bo a political
fanatic. He says he has'no accomplices.
