GREEKS RETREAT. Scenes of Confusion and Panic It Was a Mad Stamped and Free tied Bash. company of foot-sore men to halt. but thousand continued their rush to Lirisso. There was a blockade at the bridge across tne Salambra river, at the entrance of Larissa Another terrible scene was there presented, of guns, men and horses mixed np in a struggling and fear ful mass. In the streets of Larissa there was indescribable confusion. Troops of all arms were mixed together, and threw themselves down in ntter ex haustion, hetdless of the calls of trumpets and bugles, summbning them to fall in. The inhabitants, rushing about the streets, intensified the confusion. The mere mention of the Turks was sufficient to create a frenzied rush. When the moon ros9 and the neighborhood of the town could be made out with some distinction, matters became calmer, and at dawn the excitement, had been reduced to a restless movement from street to street and an anxions discussion of the future. Some estimate of the number of deaths which occurred during the stampedes and indiscrim inate firing say that from five to six hundred persons were killed. But your correspondent thinks these fig ures are exaggerated, though the people declare they have seen many wagons bearing the dead to to Lirigaa. The five newspaper correspond ents, who were in the stampede, all had miraculous escapes from death. The first hours of daylight were spent by the Greek effisers in as sembling their scattered troops and sending them to Pharsalos. The troops continued to march without any refreshment, and is alleged that many of them had not tasted food since Friday morning. When it be came known that Larissa was to be abandoned, there was another panic The women and even the children went about drawing their hands across their throats, showing what they expected of the Turks, and in an incredibly short time the roads leading to Pharsalos and Volo were crowded with rejple, vehicles and animals, the latter bearing all kinds of household effects. RALEIGH, N.,0., THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1897. CM3PAIGN FOR FREE CUBA. HOW IT IS WAGED BY GOMEZ AND HIS PATRIOT COMMAND. THE WOMEN'S EXPOSITION To be HrM at Charlotte Promises to be Grand Succef a Am Outline of Some of Tbo Leading Attractions. 8pccial Cor. the Ciiucaian. Charlotte, N. (, April 24. The comprehensive and attractive pro gramme for the Women's Exposition of the Carolinas is nearly complete. The doors will be thrown open the evening of May 11th, with a recep tion to the public. Mrs. Sallie South all Cotton, one of the South's lead ing women, "whose address on a Na tional training school at the Moth er's Congress at Washington attract ed such wide-spread attention, will deliver the address, A number of addresses by prominent Southerners, and entertainments of various kinds will extend through the entire month. "Gala Week," the week of the 20th celebration, will be crowd ed with events. In addition to the numerous attractions afforded by the Exposition, the fastest bicyclists in this country will be here at the week of the National racing circuit; the competitive firemen's races and dis plays, and various other organiza tions will have a place in the celebration. Special rates have been granted the Exposition from all points in North and South Carolina and near by points in the neighboring States. The rate including Norfolk, Suffolk, and Danville is one fare for the round trip. For May 19th, and 20th, as low rates will prevail as have ever been given in the State, the rate being one cent a mile. This will enable all to attend. The Cent nry Poster exhibit, probably the finest in the world, including all the private collection of Mr. Ellsworth, Secretary of the Centnry Company, all works of the fines' French artists have arrived. Athsv8, April 28. The retreat of the Greeks after the battle of Mati developed into a rout before many miles had been covered.1- The Laris sa correspondent of the Associated Press, who was with the retreating troops, has arrived here, and his story of the fight is full of interest. While soldiers, villagers, women and children were marching along, all hopelessly mixed up and the soldiers anathematising their officers, a dozen horsemen and as many ride less horses appeared. The cry went np, "the Turks are upon us," and the stampede began. ' The frightened soldiers and villagers began to fire in every direction, and the terror of the animals added to the confusion. The correspondent, who narrowly escaped being shot by an irregular, says the mad firing kept np for half an hour. Men, women and children were killed, and the scene was ter rible. The way was strewn with ammunition boxes, broken carts and furniture, the . bedding of soldiers, blankets and tin pat s. The latter rattled under the horses' feet, blank ets became entangled in themt and the hordes, frantic with alarm, gal loped about among the flying crowds, many of them riderless. Guns and ammunition, wagons and carts, added to the obstruction. The traces had to be cut, in order to enable their drivers to mount the horses attached to them and seek safety in flight. There were many struggles between the fugitives for the possession of the horses. In this manner the affrighted crowd struggled on for several miles, pre senting a most vivid picture of dis aster and fear. Some of the Greek officers, it is true, did their duty. They ordered the bugles and trump eters to sound "cease firing,7- and rode about calling upon the fleeing Longress asssembled, That soldiers to halt.

Of the newspaper eorreaoondenta who have visited Cuba daring the past few months, probablv no on is batter qualified than Mr. Stephen Bonsai to speak intelligently of the progress of the war. Mr. Bonsel contributes to the Review of Re views for May an able and dispas sionate study of the whole situation. from which we quote the following paragraphs: "In the country which the insur gents command hat is, in at least four fifths of the island into which the Spanish columns do not venture except in large force, food grows on every bush and every root is edible for the Cubans who know how to prepare it. There are bill-lock' d valleys which the Cuban forces hold, and where their cattle graze in safe ty. Here they have even planted quick crops, like sweet potatoes, which ripen five or six times a vear. Gomes and his leaders have, one and all, availed themselves of the advantages presented by the nature of the ground to the fullest extent. Indeed, the campaign has shown Gomez to be not only a man born to command, but one who is abreast of the military science of the day, so far as it can be applied to the pecu liar welfare upon which he is en gaged. His masterly circular move ments never fail to puzzle those who would bring his army to bay, and worn ont by the chase, the Span ish columns never succeed in cor nering him. The half grown and immature boys, the raw recruits which Spain has sent to the island, serve as but fodder for fevers and other diseases to feed upon. With half rations, scant clothing, and lit tle or no pay, and that in a depre ciated currency, the soldiers are only capable of doing one day's work in seven, but the wonder to me is that they are able or willing to shonldei a musket at all. "The result of the campaign is. then, that the life-blood of Spain is flawing from every pore. The price less lives of her sons and all her bor rowed treasure are being poured out upon this thirsty island with as lit tle result as though it were all pour ed into the Carribbean Sea. Cer tainly tbo campaign closes without the patriot army having placed to their credit any exploit which can be compared to Maceo's wonderful march from Camaguey to Pinar del Rio in the winter of '95-96. But even had it been possible, the repe tition of such a movement would have been useless, and, unlike the Spaniards, the Cubans never waste man or a cartridge. STARVATION VS. FIGHTING. "The campaign has been one of starvation rather than of fightic;, and out of this the patriot forces have emerged successfully. They have with them cattle sufficieent for several years to come and crops growing in places where the Span lards are unable or do not care to go to destroy them. In the Cienaga de Zapata, or the great salt swamp on the south coast, which the Spaniards has never dared to penetrate, the Cubans maintain their hospitals, their factories for the repair of ri fles, their depots of stores, their tan neries, and their salt wells. Indeed, with the exception of the question of ammunition, which is not overabun dant, they could stand isolation from the outside world much better than could the Spanish forces. Were Cuba to be blockaded by a hostile power, within two weeks the Span ish army would be compelled to evacuate or to surrender, as almost everything that is necessary for the support of the army, even in the or another haodred millions, which iinow bemr Bad in Paris, giving vum iodic eo ana said monopolies aa fwnnty, is sneeeasfal. Spain will nave money enough to atai stain her present position on the island uotil the beginning of the next year. THE GREAT STRIKE OF 14. Artoot mt V.

They have very lit tie more to win, and a great deal to lose, and so, in the main, they con fine their operations to harassing the Spaniards as much as possible with the least expenditure of men and ammunition, and to the hus banding of their not overabundant resources, and they do well.

Not only the meaner structures, but fine residences, store buildings, a large cotton gin and other large struc tures went into ruins and floated away down the stream. On many buildings were men, women and children. From hundreds of trees came piteous calls for help. With the first rnsh went every bridge in the city. A few boats were crushed or carried away and nothing could be done to help many who fell or were swept from places of refuge and were drowned before the eyes of horrified, but powerless spectators. By 9 o'clock the water was thirty feet above the normal , level of the river, and the once placid stream was a raging torreat across the en tire valley. It seemed that soon the people in trees and on roofs would be swept away, and desperate meas ures were taken to help them. Geo. Willis and H. A.

Rot that a larr mat wity of tho eotntaittew had decided ttat it was neither wie nor eipedient to hold such a e"nfrence at this tiao. and that tbo Reform Press tVaait- teo in proreedir g to Lold a eonfer- enco did so in d;sregard and J flsnco of tho judgment at d diiioa of tho Cirial crcaunttion of tho I'eot.Iea P.tty. Theso wre the sentiment 1 es pressed, and if I was reported otb t rwiso then the interview was to that extent incorrect. I am euro that you would nut t urpooely misrepre sent me. Therefore, I will ask you to make th.s correction. Ia eonclaioo, termit tne to say that I regret eieeedinply that your committee, after rpesting that this question of a eonlereoco be sub mittid to tbo national committee, should now refuse to observe tbo judgment and deeision of tbo party organization. For your cotbuiilteo to proceed to call a conference un der these eiremmstauces is peculiarly unfortunate. You could bavo very properly and justly etiticiwd mo if a majority cf tho national commit! had decided for a cod fere-tee and I had disregarded and d fied their de cision. Then why should not tho action of tho committee be. looked to and estimated tbe evil results to oar party that mast necessarily follow, tbe coarse you art pursuing. In stead of uniting tbe party, it will caus''b!re friction and fteab dis cord. When Cn call upon 1 bos in any county and towfciil'P ho may agree with job, though in St tB' nority to proceed to organic " send delegates, regardless ot committees as well aa the nstu committee, you do that which at once can so divisions and start ai!w figlt amt nr. onr people in nearly e aho4 ery county and towashif in tbo Uoi- i mates. This will bo deplorablo. Since replying to your eomaitteo ofli ially stating tbe p-sitioaof tbo national committee, I bavo received answers from seven additional men- brs of the committee. Five of these oppose a conference wbtlo two favor a conference. This makea more than a msjority of tho whole national committe voting against the coherence, oven if every mem ber cf tbe committed who bat not been heard from would vote in fa vor of it. Under theso circumstan ces, surely you will not persist ia a courso that can mean nothing leas than disruption and disorganization of the party, to a greater or let a es tent. Yoors respect ftl'.

The goldbug papers have been re joicing all the while at the fight tbe middle-of-the-roader (so-called) were making against chairman Butler.

But they are m . . a -m realizing tne zact tnat Butler, as chairman, is carrying ont the wishes of a large majority cf the commit tee who ought to know the sentiment this will be tbe last government ship-1 of the people, and henee, is with his I Xen. ratea by Hag.
