THE WILSON ADVANCE: MAY 6, 1897. VICTORIOUS TURKS. LYNCHING GENSEAL SOUXHEEH NEWS. v Nc Declaration of Peace, but the ; War ' Practically Ended. -y. THE GREEK ABUT CEUMBLDfG. Undi sniffed Ketreat of KInar George's ; SoldlersBeibre the Advancing Tnrk- j isli Forces A Greek Oflicer Admits the Futility of Continuing the War. London, May 3. Dispatches from the j. seat of war ia Greece give no indication I of a cessation cf hostilities, though there is still much talk of intervention I by the great powers. A Constantino- j 1 pie dispatch says that war prepara tions go on with unabated vigor. Two commissions1 composed of officials , of . the ministries of the public works and ; of war have been formed for the pur- ! pose of inspecting railways and facili- ; tating the dispatch cf troops to the frontier. After remaining inactive for two j days the Greek troops on' Friday re invaded Kpirus. The Sixth 'regiment advanced. and occupied Fhilippiada for the third "time without fighting. The . Turks are still at Pentepigadia and Imaret has been fortified, the military ; bridge over the' river Arta having been destroyed. The streets of Arta pre- j sent a strana'P spptip with thp onntin- uous exodus qf citizens and the steady incoming of the peasantry, who camp out in the streets around fires, with thousands of sheep and cattle. y The Times correspondent at Patras, giving further details of the , fighting at Pentepigada, notes the neglect of j the officers to provide for the timely ; arrival of reinforcements, a matter so j difficult in that wild section cf the country, and proceeds: ; "When the Turks opened the attack I realized that their fierce onset might expel the mere handful of Greeks,' but I did not realize that this one blow would throw the entire Greek army in Krirus into a hopeless panic and cause the less cf all the positions gained since the opening of the cam paign. i. . '. .'"Fix thousand Turks scaled the mountain, covered as it is with brush and rocks, and in the face of firing which was rapid and continuous. They lost heavily, in spite of the fact that two Greek guns were inexplicably re moved from action shortly after the fusillade began. The Evzones fought bravely, but were, compelled to retire. 1 "The rest of the Greek positions have'U been abandoned. There" has been ap parently no stand anywhere, and the whole army is crumbling, without fir ing a., shot. We entered Kumuzades, which 3.C00 men' with six guns had de , serted, accompanied by the terrified villagers carrying their property, and then . we descended the- rough pass, where for hours we met no one. The , retreating and panic stricken ' troops were far ahead. - "About midnight we' and our mournful- procession 'of villagers overtook the routed army on the -road, crowded and in utter confusion, packed with a mass .l xiuixidiiiLj Luiiioiing on inrougn tne vio.irviic.-3o, niiuuui nuiiy a,nu silently, for it was a strange panic that had seized the men, a sullen, unexcited, stubborn determination not to fight, but to press on toward Arta in a slug gish. irre?itr: IiIa wqt-o TVia n-m - ' ' - - Aii UillCl O, like tnir regiments, walked with gloomy ana shamefaced expression, quite unable to gCt their men in hand. - At Kanopoulo ; Colonel Botzari and his Btaff vainly tried to check the rout and ! to make a stand. Captain Rabbek, of King George's perbonai sian, wired here from Athens Saturday that the rlk'ht wing of the Greek rmy had repulsed the Turks, but that the ''left'" .wins' had retreated behind the old. frontier , line t6 avoid . being circumvented. Captain Rabbek actus: .me Greek army in Epirus, after defeat at Pentepegadia, has re tired to Arta. AM hGDe of continuing the war is now virtually abandoned. The fleet has returned to Volo for the protection of the inhabitants." A dispatch from Lamia says: v"Since Friday the whole bodv of Grepk tmn-n near Pharsalos and'Domokos has been -drawn up in order cf battle, but at this hour there has been no fircrhtins- T'na tj inhabitants of Pharsalos have", aban ' doned the town in fear of a Turkish attack, and an" exodus has begun from Domokos in the. dirpr rinn' rf T.omio fVia ' . v.. - -.v. . i i vti refugees pitching their tents in the open country. ""A band of 2,000 irregulars is .about to start for the front, their standard bearer, a 19-year-old girl named "Helen Constantinidis,' dressed in the same. unitorm as tne men. The latest dispatches from Athens tell of the downfall of the old cabinet and the formation of a new ministry, with M. Ralli as premier. Demetrius. - Ralli, the, new premier, was the leader, of the Opposition. He has been minister of justice and min--, ister. of - interior, and is well known throughout the country " as an able lawyer and orator.

Suspicion pointed to the four Thomas boys, and they confessed to. having 1 committed - the theft, saying they had given $30 of the money to Henry Daniels. Daniels spent the money, and on Sunday even ing last the Thomas boys, according to their confession, decided to either collect their $30 or kill Daniels.. They carried ou"t the latter part of the pro gram. Daniels, an old negro, lived in a lit tle hut with his stepdaughter, Marie, and a-7-year-old child. . On Wednesday night the house was broken open, Marie Daniels and the 7-year-old child were - ravished, and old man Daniels clubbed to death while trying to pro tect those in Ms charge. Then Daniels and his stepdaughter were thrown Into the house and the child thrown into the well. The house was set on. tire, and the men left, thinking that they had. covered up. their deed. . . ? The fire had not attracted much at tention, but when Daniels and his peo ple did not show up the charred lo cation of the house was searched and the terrible truth discovered. The burned remnants oLiiuman bodies left no doubt in neydirection,,. while the blood stains ajdut the premises indi cated the murder. The local officers Went to work with a will, and were ably assisted by. the best citizens of the neighborhood. The bloodhounds from. Steel's plan tation were secured, arid they were hot long In finding the right track. Before night they went straight to the place where the ' Thomas boys resided, and tne by one, they were secured. Fayette Rhone, 21 years old; Will Gates, aged 35; Louis Thomas, 20; Aaron Thomas, 13; Jim Thomas, 14, andBenny Thomas, 15 years old, were placed under arrest. The last four are brothers. Later Will Williams was captured. When taken they were smeared with blood, and a bloody shirt was found hidden away. After the. boys were confronted with the . evidence .they owned tq rommitting " the; crime, and laid the killing to Louis, the oldest. Ail seven of the prisoners . were under guard Thursday midnight, when the guards were overpowered by a strong body- of men and the prisoners taken toward the Brazos bottom, north of here. A little later 40 or 50 shots were fired. and all was quiet. Yesterday, dangling from the limbs of a large tree, Were founcl the bodies of six negroes, limp and lifeless. Hun dreds of people from . OVer the coun- 1 try . are surging bclc and forth, with the tree as the center.of atraction. AH of the bodies are there, except that of Williams, and he is not to be found, but the' shots probably explain his ab sence." He' Was evidently riddled with, bullets While attempting to escape, and his body probably secreted. At a late hour last evening the six bodies were still hanging from the tree. As far as can be learned the mob was composed of white, and .black men, with the colored element largely pre dominating. .
