XOT RBADY TO TREAT FOK PEACE IJosiuiiptloti of Fighting 1.V Oreo Us in KpiriiM Hurts tho l'rocreis or I'ciU'u N'Etliitloiis. Losno.v, May 15. The sultan's reply to the note of the ambassadors at Con stantinople, ofl'ering mediation, saying he would be ready to discuss the mutter after the greater Kairam festival, which ends on Sunday night, justifies the fear that the powers have lost ground that will not be easy to get back. Abdul Humid 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-omcial press of the Continent show that the in- ... t..n nF M.n nll-n !ti crease in uiu jiikhi-ikc m ouuuu , the chief concern of the 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 future. The Journal des Debats declares that the result ut the war has been to place ! rl..i Knn rtt K..1.1 lUrKUy 11J 11 piirjlLlun ma uo ijwl urju for the past half-centurv, adding: "Her tremendous military effort is largely in excess of what the struggle against Greece required. It waB done to refute the allegation of decrepitude and to demonstrate to the sultan's own sub jects and to those of the smaller states and to the great powers that Turkey is able to hold her own." The British, Eussian 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, the postponement of the sultan's reply until after the great er Bairnm festival is interpreted as mean ing that his majesty intends that his army shall continue its victorious ad vance until every strategic point oil the Otlirya mountain range is in the hands of the Turks, and that only then will Edhetn 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 the progress of the peace negotiations. The cabinets are also occupied with the dillicult problem of how Greece will pay the war indemnity which Turkey seems certain to demand. M. Delynnnis, tho 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 Bimilar Turkish commission is mooted. The commission would, it ia proposed, sit at Athens and take over the Greek customs for the purpose of liquidating the Greek debt and possibly for the war indemnity. NEW oitK'S DESTINATION. Tho CruUer ISelug Hurriedly Prepared (or a Long Sen Voyueo. Kkw Yokk, May 15. Orders have been eent 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 iip with coal to her full capacity. The haste with which she is to prepare for sea may be judged from the fact that, although she needs about 170 tonB to fill her bunkers to their full capacity, this amount of fuel will be hurried on board tomorrow. Tho New York's engines have been taken apart, and she is undergoing a thorough overhauling of her motive ma chinery ut her mooringe, off Tompkins villo, S.

It does not seem possible that the 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 it target practice and gun exercise were all that was intended, but there would be no necessity for filling up her coal bunkers. With about 1100 tons al ready stored, the orusier could remain at sea a couple of weeks without running short of fuel. The rush to get the re mainder of her coal on board indicates a long voyage. It has 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, but the belief among navy officers is strong that the New York is to bo held in complete readiness to go to Key West at a moment's warning. Tho Shakers have made a discovery which is destined to accomplish much good. Realizing that three-fourths ol all of our sufferings arise from stomach troubles, that the country ia literally filled with people who cannot eat and digest food, without subsequently suffer ing pain and distress, and that many are starving, wasting to mere skeletons, because their food does them no good, they have devoted much study and thought to the subject, and the result is this discovery of their Digestive Cordial.

There are indications of a possibility of serious trouble between France and Morocco, owing to the 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. The French cavalry is being massed on the frontier of Morocco and two companies of zouaves and a number of tirrailleurs, with several field pieces, have been ordered to hold them selves in readiness to leave Oran, the port of Algoria nearest to Morocco. A rum or is also in circulation that 30 spahis (Arabian cavalry in the French service) were surprised by Moors nenr Magnhia, who fired several volleysat them. One of tho sapbis was wounded.
