Terrltic Firing and Greek Bravery on Both Sides. Pom kos. May 17.-tlelayed In trans mission.! The real lighting began be fore this place about 11 o'clock today. It was nearly 3 o'clock In the afterm on before the preliminary skirmishes were over and the terrific combat commenc ed. The sklmlsahers Increased the rap idity of their fire, the main bodies of the Turkish troops advancng. their movements bemg governed by the fire of the artillery. Soon the engagement was general, the musketry fire Increas ed In fury, and the booming of the field pieces became Incessant. The guns of the Greeks were splen didly aimed and succeeded In putting one Turkish piece out of action, but the Turkish artillerymen revenge i themselves by plumping a shell Into th? Greek caisson, filled with ammunition. and It blew up. Poring the artillery duel the main I bodies of the Turkish Infantry opened ' lire at long rajige in order to discover the jiostftons occupied by the enemy. The Greeks vre not long in replying. No sooner did the i ui'Kisn couuim.iue. feel the enemy accurately than he push- el forward his Irregular troops to the attack. The latter advanced with great spirit and In the face of a hot fire drove the Greek, from some of their advanced positions. But, If the fighting had been gallant and desperate oh both side up to the prewont, It was still more so from this time on. The flrlnif on both sides pe carne really terrltV-'. The sun was net- ling near the horizon aii'l both sides realized the Importance r.( ''achieving decisive results before nlu-htfait. Long lines of flame and smoke opposed each other. The Turks continued to pour a hail of lead at the Creeks in their Intrenched positions, the latter replying with a continuous volley of leaden mis sile. Both the Turkish and Greek hut terlws meanwhile were belching forth a "never -c&Vi storm of shells and shrapnel. It was then 7 o'clock in the evening and neither side had galne j any very great advantage. The Greek stubborn ly resisted the advance of their ene mies, but the soldiers of the sultan had Kilne 1 ground, and were ng-hUng with as much dash and brilliancy as when the first cannon shot announced the ojH-nlng of the engagement. The sun finally disappeared, and dark ness spread slowly over the blood stained country, but the fierce combat raged on uninterrupted, and v.itb un abated vigor. Toward 9 o'clock the Greelcs. having gallantly held their entrenchment agairurt superior forces and having giv en proof of the greatest courage, de serving of all praise, began to slacken their fire. The firing of the Turks at the same time also abated, and soon It ceased altogether on both sides. SrLIT IN THE POPCLIST HANKS. The Prohibitory Law in Kansas Causes liw; Trouble. Topeka, Kaa, May 19.

HUNTINGTON WILL VISIT ASTORIA Is Expected to Arrive This Week Kith President A. li. Hammond. THE HOTEL FLAVEL MANAGER Vis Installed Testerdajr f orccj of Em ployes nd Supplies Readyfor the Opeaiig iitt'f. Private advices received yesterday tate that Mr. Colli. P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific Com jany, will in all human probability ar. rive In Astoria with Mr. Hammond be. fore the close of this week. He Is not coming for pleasure alone, and that he will be properly entertained while here is assured. It U underabjod that while here Mr. Huntington will be a guest of the Ho tel Flavet and make a trip over the harbor in a special boat, visiting alt points of Interewt, and will make an in spection of the railroad grade.

Locke, manager of the Hotel Flavel, with his wife and son, and Chief Clerk C. Dwyer arrived from Montana and were installed la the new house. A carload of groceries and supplies was laid In and the house will be opened to the public June 1. the grand opening taking place about July 1. Affairs are moving rapidly In Ast oral and the west aider, appear to be In the front of the procession. How many capitalists will be the guests of the new hotel remains to be seen, but Ute same energy which built the house in hari time, and ii the face of a cavil ling spirit will doubtless see that ome of the fine apartments are oc-upie-i by those who have an eye to buctnss and want an opportunity to plan: some of their money in manfactures In the com. ing commercial port of the N rt lie .vest. It Is quite certai-i that some of these visitors w ill neither come nor go a.vay empty fcaided.

SPANISH MINISTER PLEASED. paln Satisfied With McKinley's Mej sage and Proposed Relief. Washington, May 19. In an unau thorized interview the Spanish minister, Dupuy de Lome, broke his diplomatic silence and said: "I am going at once to call on the president and express my gratitude for his splendid action and kindly consid eration shown in the wording of his message. Notwithstanding the activity of the pajers that are hostile and tn Juat, our cause has again triumphed. We are stronger today with President McKlnley and Secretary Sherman than we ever were with 'the Cleveland ad ministration. Spain has no objection whatever to the United States helping her own citizens now resident In Cuba and alleged to be In distress. The way that the charity Is distributed Is en tirely the affair of the United States, and not that of Spain. This govern, ment expressly elates that only Amer icans are to be relieved; therefore no authority is asked to feed the subjects of the king of Spain. If Americans have suffered through exigencies of war, it is their misfortune to be In Cuba at this particular time. Spain does not care If the United States man tains her citizens in luxury, so long as she contributes her bounty through the consular agents and only in the towns." The Columbia Iron Works Is building a gridiron at the West Coast Cannery, and the Mayflower will be the first boat docked there.
