Hkui.i.v, Muy 20. A telegram received
from Constantinople this afternoon eays
the effort of the Turkish commander in
EpnuH to treat with the Greeks for an
armistice resulted in a failure, owing to
the Greeks having ignored the flu of
truce and having attempted yesterday,
with two battalions of troops to make a
fresh incursion into Turkish territory
The Greeks, it is further stated, alr-o

Evening.
San Luis Obispo, Calif., Mav 20.
About 7:I!0 last evening residents of the
country adjacent to iHoro Day were
etartled by a report like the rumble of
thunder, and ended with a louder blast.
A few days ago u similar report was
heard, and a mud geyser appeared in
the small arm of Moro hay, just opposite
the townsito of El Moro, as reported at
the time. This geyser has formed a
small island, which for a week past lias
been the wonder of tho people in the
county, and has been visited by ninny
Following the renort yesterday a sec
oml geyser sprung into existence, about
200 yards distant from the first and a
little farther inland. This last geyser is
an exact counterpart of the one formed
last Friday night. It is only a short
distance from shore, and tho people who
gathered last evening could plainly see
the small island of mud and sand which
li"d formed. Like the eruption of last
Friday, tho surface of tho second island
bears evidence of having a small-sized
crater, from which large quantities of
black mud aro slowly arising.

many members having returned to the
city in response to messages from the
chairman of the caucus.
Simpsonjot Kansas demanded the read-'
ing of the full journal, after it had been ,
read in the usual skeletonized form.
Under the rules, the speaker was com- ,
pelled to grant the request. Then
Simpson made a point thftt it was stated
by the journal that certain bills were re-
ici iuu iu committees, wnereas no com
mittees had been appointed. Simpson

rule for the consideration of the senate
Cuban relief resolution, providing for a
vote, after a two hours' debate. Bailey
thereupon endeavored to secure recogni
tion to present the views of the minority
committee. The speaker recognized
Dalzell to demand the previous question.
There was a sharp skiriuian between
Reed and Dalzell on one side and Bailey
on the other, in the course of which
Bailey remarked that he knew the Re
publicans did not intend to give the
minority any opportunity to be heard,
but advised them to carry out their pro
gramme with Borne degree of decency,
whereupon he was applauded by the
galleries.
Simpson shouted: "Don't ask for
decency from that side."
The proposition Bailey was attempt
ing to present was a substitute for the
consideration of Morgan's resolution for
the recognition of the belligerency of
the insurgents, which is now before tho
senate, after the appropriation for relief
had been disposed ot.

solidly for tabling and the motion
carried.

her impenetrable castle here yesterday,
while from .foO.OOO to .$100,000 lay theie

For half a century no human foot save
