He says it is best to have the boundaries follow the county bound aries. But the commissioner says the disease does not go according to county boundaries. The djsease is splenetic fever and it is in some way due to "ticks." There is a great deal of the disease within the infected districts. - ; An application is made to the secre tary of state for license for an insur ance company chartered in South Carolina, all the incorporators of which are Raleigh men.

Havana, May 6, The Spanish cruiser Maria Christina has captured at the mouth of the Mosquito river four light ers of American construction. They had apparently heen used in the land ing of a filibustering expediton. Troops ashore captured sixty-three boxes of cartridges belonging to the filibusters. The escort of a railroad train run ning between Tunas and Sancti Spir itus, province of Santa Clara on Mon day last, discovered another dynamite bomb on the rails with electric wires to it. Confirmation has been received in official circles of the death of Charles Aguire, the insurgent leader. He was killed in a recent engagement with the Spanish troops. " Important documents found upon his person, show among other things that General Max imo Gomez is in bad health. The Spanish gunboat Satelite, at Ga ney, near Tunas, saw a suspicious look ing steamer, making signals. The gun boat fired fifteen shots at the 'steamer, which eventually disappeared. Later, the Satelite returned and reconnoiter ed the coast in the vicinity of Guasinas, Paso Banao and harbor of Palo Alto. While so doing the gunboat sighted a detachment of insurgent cavalry, evi dently awaiting the landing of a fili bustering expedition. Fifteen shells were fired at the insurgent force, which thereupon dispersed. .

THE BATTIiE OF PHAItSALOS Described by the Correspondent of the London Daily Mail Splendid Fighting on Both Sides Steady Advance of the " Turks StuhbornResistance of theGreeks Before GiTing Way. London, May 7. The Daily Mail's correspondent with the Turkish forces at Pharsalos, telegraphing yesterday morning says: Yesterday's (Wednesday) battle was most, sublime, as a spectacle and the most decisive of the entire war. It was not intended at the beginning that the fight should be a regular pitched en gagement, but on the arrival of Edhem Pasha at the outposts, a furious firing began. The weather was cool and the sky somewhat cloudy, after a thunder storm. . The village of Pharsalos could be seen, huddled, as it were, under a line of low-peaked hills. Higher and round about were black hills rising behind the others, while between us and the vil lages ran the small stream known to the ancients as the Rapieus, crossed by a bridge at the railway. Between the stream and the village were the Greeks in an excellent position, well defended by earthworks. Their advance line consisted of two brigades and their re serves of two half brigades, altogether about 20,000 men. Against these were 50,000 Turks. The artillery began the engagement, the Greek practice being much better than usual; but after about two hours they began to retire across the river. This was a great mistake, as they were thus enclosed between the river, and the mountains with no room to deploy. The sight was superb. In many cases the Greeks fought with thecouragefih is accepted and they uuupmn iJ aicum !. iitattSCS, lOrill J don t CafOJ lldVC .ixj mi n uuim ing the rear guard to hold the bridge, covered the whole plain. The endur ance and dash of the Turks were mag nificent, too. I reached the battlefield with a regiment whose men immediate ly began to run forward, dancing under fire and shouting like children when they saw the enemy. The Greeks re pulsed them and followed up the re pulse. The Turks had formed in a semi circle of thundering batteries and crack ling battalions. The division on the ex treme right tried to cut off the retreat to Domokos, while the remainder of the force flung itself upon Pharalos. The battle was little like the battles described in books. There wars no firing of volleys, no bayonet assaults, no rush, no cheering, but only a steady, leisurely advance into the open, in per fect order. There was some individual firing and the soldiers shouted 'Allahr Allah, till the constant repetitions swelled into one heavy monotonous shout like the 'Hear, hear,' of the house of commons., I saw some men sudden ly fling up their hands and fall, face downward, but the Greek fire in the main was ineffective. Before 5 o'clock the last village north of the river had been taken. Then the village of Vasili and the en trenchments near the river were storm ed with considerable loss to the Turks and the battle ceased at night fall, the flanking division having established itself i behind the Greeks, and i cut off the best line of retreat to Athens. Roads Holding off From the Association. Chicago, May 6. Some of the roads that were good and consistent members of the Western Passenger Association before that organization dissolved after the promulgation of the supreme court decision, . are showing a reluctance to becoming members once more." They have no -fault in particular to find with the new agreement or with the manner in which, the affairs of the organization are managed by Chairman Caldwell; In fact, all of them admit that no pas senger association was ever handled better, but they have a reluctance ta put themselves in a position where the courts may get a jvhack at them in case the legal gentlemen of the roads, who have pronounced the agreement perfectly valid in all respects, should happen to have overlooked something or other. It is not expected that any of the roads that so far have failed to become members are withholding them selves from membership because of any desire to demoralize rates, but one -or two roads are not quite sociations are legal after sure that as- all, and some of their competitors 'do not come' in be cause they desire to be in a position to meet whatever rates ' their competitors may make That is, at least, the rea son given by some of the roads and yet the Western Passenger Association has nothing to do with the making or maintenance of rates and any road is as free to take individual action in the association as out of it. Strong pres sure is being brought to bear upon the lines that are still outstanding and it is likely that they will, in a short time, become members of both the freight and passenger associations. A Successful Safe Burglary. . Charleston, S. C, May 6. The large drygoods establishment of Kerrison & Co., was burglarized at; an early hour this morning. The safe was opened with explosives and $600 in cash taken. There is no clue to the identity of the rpbhers. . . . j 3ESSEISER THE Successful Trip With an Airship. - Nashville, Tenn., May 6. Professor Arthur Barnard, the physical instructor of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion, of Nashville, made a successful trip today in an airship constructed by himself. He started from the Tennes see Centennial expositon grounds. The ship moved off in perfect order and passed out of sight in a few minutes. I Mr. Barnard ' returned with his air j ship tonight. He says he has perfected a machine which will fly under ordi nary' conditions. He stated tonight that it was not perfect nor could it perfectly controlled but he that he could perfect it so believed that its course could be controlled. Jf ter disappearing from view this morning, the ship circled around, the navigator hoping to meet with a favor able current." At last the ship began topsail to the west. When it reached Watkins, a village fifteen miles west of the city it turned. When four miles from Nashville, the gas in the balloon attachment began to give out. Mr. Batnard then sought a safe place to descend and came down easily. While aloft a sudden gust broke one of the spans of the ship. No other damage was done. He was aloft one and a half hours. Jellco Coal Miners Idle. Knoxville, Tenn.. May 6. The coal miners of the Jellico district are all idle, awaiting their big conference on May 10th, when it will be decided whether or not the reduction of wages will be accepted for the next year. The miners are not in position to stay out of work any great length of time, as some are now in destitute circumstan ces. The operators say : they will not make contracts for another year unless summer, as they have enough coal mined to fill their orders during the summer. At Coal Creek contracts have been signed up and no. reduction was made. The miners at this place are deeply in sympathy with those of the Jellico dis trict and should a strike be ordered all would go out. Settlement was reached today in the Laurel district, fifty miles north of Jel lico, in Kentucky. The South and West Commercial Congress Kansas CityMo., May 6. The South and West Grain and -Trade Congress today heard reports of committees and addresses by Breedlove Smith, James A Smith, Thomas Richardson, Govern or Leedy of Kansas, Patrick Walsh, and E. L. Martin, vice president of the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf rail- way. Samuel Lapham, of Charleston, S. C, was made chairman of the congress. Breedlove Smith, of New Orleans, was made permanent chairman between sessions. Permanent vice presidents, appointd at Charleston, were c'.osen, with the exception of W. C. Davidson, from South Carolina, in whose place Charles Stanton was named. The name of the congress was changed to The South and West Commercial Congress. The next session will be at Tampa, Fla in February 1898. Cruelty in the Kentucky Penitentiary Frankfort, Ky., May 6. The state prison investigating committee heard testimony today about inhuman treat ment of prisoners and other things John Doe, a two year convict, released yesterday, related dozens of cases of brutal flogging of men, women and children,- of the rack, thumb stall, etc., giving names, dates and every detail and charged that one woman hung up by the thumbs, while enciente, died from the effects of the punishment. President Albine, of the Louisville Albine Company, a turned down bidder, when the prison chair contract was let to A. D. Martin, et al of Chicago and Cincinnati, charged that Attorney Gen eral Taylor had become the attorney for A. D. Martin, individually and for the contractors as a firm, while a mem ber of the prison board and attorney for the state. ' A Distressing Accident. - Christiansburg, Va,, May A. most distressing accident occuri r r-ar here this afternoon by 'which Robert Col lins, the 14-year-old son of jMr. H. R. Collins, lost his life, Robert and his brother Edward, who is 17 years old, were sent to the woods to' do some shopping, and had been gone but a short time when Edward came running back crying frantically that he had shot his hrother. Neighbors gathered Im mediately and it was found that Rob ert had been shot in the right eye. The ball lodged in the brain, causing in stant death. Edward is so much over come with grief that he has not been able to give an intelligent account of the accident. The Triple Alliance Renewed London, May 7. A dispatch to The Daily Mail from Rome aays that the pact of the powers constituting, the triple alliance was renewed for a period of six years. The right to withdraw, under the terms of the original agree ment, expired on May 6th, and Ger many has succeeded - in persuading Italy not to exercise the right of vith- 1 drawaL GREECE'S OTTER DEFEAT. 1 i London.

General Smolenski Entirely Cnt Off-Retreat of the Two Divisions Turks Oc- cnpy Pharsalos The Powers Call a Halt In Hostilities and Offer to Undertake So lution of the Dispute To Land Troops at Athens to Protect the Dynasty. Athens, May 6. 6 p. m. Fighting is proceeding between the Turks and Greek forces, at Velestinp. It is pre sumed that the Turks, noticing that General Smolensk! was preparing to retreat, attacked him in force. The Turks have burned Jwo villages. Larissa, May 6. A dispatch from Pharsalos, dated 11 a. m. today de scribes the battle- there which began yesterday as follows: "A Turkish corps first appeared on the summit of Mount Tekke yesterday morning and from a formidable in trenched position on the hillside attack ed the Fourth regiment of Evzones about noon. The latter made a strong re- sistance . but wer finallv onmnpllpfl in fall slowly" back. The Turks then ! then cannonaded and destroyed the village ' of Ordskoni, which Is about two hours' i march nort,h of Pharsalos. The crown prince, having ordered the entire army ; to draw up in line of battle, the Greeks advanced about 2 o'clock p. m. The 1 Turks numbering 30.000. immediatelv descended the slopes of Mount Tekke and planted batteries which began to bombard the Greek regiments. Owing to superiority of weight, the Turkish cannon inflicted heavy losses upon the Greeks, especially near the station. The Turks continued to advance until j they came- into close quarters, and' then the crown prince decided to retire to more commanding positions. j All the ammunition and supplies have been transported to Domokos, on the heights of which the Greek bat teries are prepared for action. The Turks have burned the village of Tatari and have massacred a priest and an entire family in the village of Dios- kani." Constantinople, May 6. Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander-in-chief in Thessaly, has sent the following dis patch to the ministry of war dated this morning: The imperial army, while marching to Pharsalos met the enemy in the vil lages of Soubathi, Souledji, Turcomanli and : Lamia. After a severe engage ment, lasting flfteeri hours, we dis lodged them from their positions and advanced to Pharsalos, which the im- lev wrmj hwu Jaicrt. Iviva tvuolJ XJ,-kja pied." - '. London, May 6. The Daily Mail's . -correspondent at Palias, under date of t Wednesday,, says: ; "The Greek battalion today attacked the Turks near Philippiada. The Greeks fought well, but their ammunition was soon expended and they were compelled to retire. "Officers and men in Epirus are bit terly displeased With the headquarters staff, and lately the soldiers have been plundering their compatriots. A very unsatisfactory condition of things exists." f Washington, May 6. The Turkish legation has received the following ad vices from Constantinople, dated today; , Edhem Pasha telegraphs that the four divisions of the Ottoman army which were marching in Pharsala have met the Greeks in the villages of Soubashi, Soulidje, Turcomanli and Lamia, and after fierce fighting, which lasted fifteen hours, they dislodged them and advanced toward Pharsalos The latter place has just 'been vistori- ously occupied by the imperial army. - j Athens, May 6. Austria and Ger- ' many have joined the other powers in proposing meditation between Greece and Turkey. General molenski is retreating slow ly a"nd in orderly fashion to Almyro, and Volo has been almost completely evacuated. v - The forces under Prince Oonstantine reached Domokos unmolested, and have not' heen attacked today. It appears j that the great massing of Turkish ' troops' and their movements lead to a suspicion that an attempt was being : projected to surround Pharsalos. A council of war was held-in the Greek camp and it was decided to retire to i- Domokos, which was reached this morning at dawn. The Greeks prompt ly occupied strong positions on tho mountain range overlooking Domo kos. ' : During Wednesday night the Turks 'continued to execute movements with a only discovered at daybreak this morn ing that the Greek army had retired. London, May 6. A dispatch to The Daily Mail from Berlin says it is re ported there that the powers have de cided to land troops at Athens to pro tect the dynasty, Greece having de clined the preferred meditation and Turkey being willing to negotiate on easy terms if Crete-is evacuated by the Creeks. Athens, May 6. A collective note will be handed to the Greek and Turkish governments this (Thursday) evening or tomorrow, calling upon them to l-cease hostilities oh the distinct assur ance that the powers will undertake the final solution of the pending diffi culties. - Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett, whose schoorrer was detained by the Greek fleet on the assumption that papers round on board or. ner alter nis inter- views with the Turks, were of a com- promising character, arrived torn gn t. He was met at Piraeus by M. Ralli, the premier, who ; conducted him to the British legation and requested Mr. Egerton, the British minister, not to allow him to leave the legation before nnittine- Athens, in order to nrevent- a demonstration.' . It has been decided to send Colonel Vassos to Thessaly, and Colonel Stra tos, with a new general staff, will re place Colonel Manos in Epirus.' Two transport vessels have been sent to Volo to remove the few remaining inhabitants. The ammunitions, stores and food supplies have already been taken to SJtylis. It Is rumored that the few wounded Greek soldiers who were left at Phar- ; salos have "been butchered by- tim f Turks. ' to the speedy retreats that are the be- ginning of the end. The Greek ac counts say that both retreats were j derly, but such news comes only fro sources in Atnens, which are? notoriously unreliable. It is just pos sible that, so far from being orderly, they may both -have ended in a panic as was the case at Larissa. Edhem . Pasha will almost certainly . follow to prevent General Smolensk! from rejoin-: ing "the main army. In any event, General Smolensk! is now cut off from all chance of embarking on the Greek vessels at "Volo. He must either sr render to the Turks or endeavor t reach Lamai by the difficult mountain paths, so that everything indicates .-"that Greece will be compelled to sue for peace in order to save the rcm : nan t of her army from destruction The Daily Telegraph's .correspondexA i at Patras, says: "The Greeks have not. obtained the slightest advantage since the Turkish advance ; began. The recall of the whole army to Arta far- the third time has caused intense dla j gust among the troops, whose spirit -r will be fatally jflampened unless they 1 are allowed to go ahead." . The Daily Telegraph prints a dis r patch from Vienna saying that the con , dition of the king of Greece is preca rious. Base Ball. Philadelphia, May 6. The Baltimore champions defeated Philadelphia to day in a rather loosely played, but in teresting game. Taylor was decidedly, off in his pitching and aided in th Baltimores' run-getting by four wild., pitches. Clark started to catch v for Baltimore, but he was injured in tho first inning and retired.'
