Chapman will surrender himself to Marshal Wilson, of this district, under whose direction lie will be taken to jail to serve out his sentence. The actual amount of time he will be com pelled to remain in jail will be 25 days, as the law provides for a remission of five days in the case of good be havior. In an interview Mr. Chapman expressed himself as follows: ' There is nothing more to be said A1TTS TO AOTEX THESSALT, And in Add i t ion the Defeated Greeks Must Pay an Indemnity of 10,000, 000Xhe Powers Will Probably Op pose Any Extension of Territory.

The porte , proposes that pleni potentiaries of the powers should meet at Pharsalos to discuss the terms of peace, and declares that if these con ditions are declined the Turkish army will continue to advance. Tvie demand for the annexation o Tliessaly is based upon the fact that the province -was originally ceded to - ' 'v- .v.v:; made public. Believing; we were right, we took the case to the highest courts, and now that we: are beaten, I am dis posed to accept the situation in" a philosophic way. I expect to serve out the 25 days of my sentence." " Messrs. Henry Havemeyer, the presi dent, and J. E. Searles, the secretary, respectively, of the sugar trust also reached here last night. The trials of their cases is set for tomorrow. ., With them was Messrs. John E. Parsons,. Mr.' Havemeyer's attorney, and ex- . Senator Edmunds. The probability is that an attempt will be, made to! secure ! a postponement for a time, on the ground that counsel are not ready, to Washington, May 17. An enthusias tic audience of men and women, many of them well known Washington, packed the Columbia theater to its doors yesterday afternoon at a mon ster meeting held in behalf of the cause; of the Cuban insurgents. Seated on the platform and participating in the exercises were Senators Gallinger and Allen, ex-Senator Butler, of South Car olina; Rev. Hugh Johnson, pastor of the , Metropolitan Methodist church; Revl Howard Wilbur Ennis, and a number of others identified with the in terests of the insurgents. (General William Henry, Browne, president of the !Cuban league, called the meeting to order, and called Senator Gallinger , as the presiding officer. Later he made a brief address and read 'a number of . Castoria isso well adapted to children that I recommend it a5 superior to any ircscriptioa known to me." ' IL A. Archer, M. D., ; 111 So.

Greece on the advice cf the powers, TRAIN ROBBERS' GOOD HAUL v Proceeding In the Approved Fashion, They Secure About $10,000. San Antonio, Tex., May 15. The west r bound Southern Pacific passenger train ' was held up by masked men and rob- I oed about 250 miles west ot here early Kith the object of ending brigandage; . th mornint, As the train' nulled and Greek incursions into Ottoman ter- ; out of the fluIe ton of Lozier three ritory.. The porte believed at the time, 3uinped aboard, and pointing pis- that the cession would attain these ob- tolg at the en?ineer and fireman com jects, but the recent incurious, of , pelled the former to stop the train Greek bands and the events immedi- j ,about and a half west of the town, ately preceding the war have proved j After forcing the doors of the express to the contrary.

The local of Volo and Preyesa be kept open for vessels carrying food supplies to the Turkish troops. H The ambassadors met yesterday to consider :the porte's answer, which is regarded as raising an extremely srave issue. It is believed that representa tions will be made the sultan person ally to induce a modification of these terms, but it is foreseen that this will T . ,1 f be verv , difficult, owing to the atti tude " cf the powerful old Turk war party. If the porte should prove ob durate an European conference is not improbable, although at present Rus sia is opposed to this. It is regarded as quite certain . that the powers will not consent to a retro ceirioiv of Thessaly. Even Germany is believed to be resolute oh this point, because it would involve a violation of the Berlin treaty and imperil the peace of the Balkans, f Altogether the reply' of the porte has caused the greatest surprise. It ap pears that during the discussion of the note from the powers by the council of the sultan's -ministers news reached the council that 3,000 Greeks had . land ed at Palona and were marching to Janina with the inLention of co-operating . with other forces from Arta. This created a bad' impression among the ministers. ; Edhem Pasha's plans for the capture of Domokcs are being rapidly perfect ed. Reinforcements are arriving, and all the Greek positions are carefully watched. The bad condition of .the roads and the. he ay rains delay opera tions fcr which the. Turkish officers are anxiously waiting, but a general advance began at dawn yesterday. A Murderous Maniac. Philadelphia, May 17.

A. R. Senator Chandler sent a letter of re gret, which was in part as follows: j "As I wish, to see the United States declare and maintain the independence , of the island, as France did that of the-' American colonies and made the Uni- ted States a nation, of course I shall, ..; as a practical friend, vote for every j minor method tending to the same ben- j pfiri'pnf r-nrl T hnnp and believe that congress and the president will soon fcrmallly recfignize a state of war and Cuban belligerency. This step, follow ed as It will be. by all the other inde pendent nations of the western hemis phere, cannot fail to insure the Cuban independence which is sought for. "Moreover, .without delay, we ought to send ;a fleet to enter the harbois j and an army to land; upon the soil cf j Cuba first to orotect the lives and ! property of American citizens, and sec ondly' to str;i the atrocious and un civilized methods of warfare' adopted by the' Spanish generals. . ' "In, advocating all these measures I am conscious of no passionate; hostility to Spain. In 1861 she recognized the southern Ccnfedera-cy within less than three months after its military struggle began, and surely if she cannot hold Cuba without making it one vast des ert and graveyard by , driving the in habitants into the cities to starve, and by hanging, shooting or garroting Cu ban officers and soldiers! for rebellion and incendiarism, she ought to lose the island. "President McKinley willingly recog nizes the binding force of the platform upon which he was elected, and will soon do his part toward making Cuba free and independent. He mav pro ceed with what will seem, to impatient spirits to be- undue caution, but he will not fail to be ; faithful to his pledges aud he will be fore' long register the decree which' went forth in his tri umphant election." Mr. Earl Decker, of Washington, who, as correspondent of the New York Journal, spent some A time in Cuba, much of it with a branch of the Cuban army in Santa Clara province, gave a description of the condition ot atiairs existing, and of the plight of many people suffering for the necessities of life. He ridiculed the claims sent out hv General Weyler that the island has been pacified. I In the course of some interesting re- J marks Senator Allen, of Nebraska, humorously declared that there was no division in the Perulist ranks on the question cf Cuban liberty. In this whole matter he thousht4 there had been too much sacrifice to a spirit of commercialism, and it was time this government had a little more human ity and a little m'jie Americanism. , W A lliiklilPJL vy II co 1 . - GEO.
