for the celebration tomorrow of the an-
niversary of the declaration of GreekIndependence in 1S12 have been com-pleted. A public meeting will be heldhere to protest against the action of thepowers toward Greece and pledge sup-port of the Greek government in anyaction it may think fit to take in thepremises. In this connection there hasbeen a belief that the celebration of to-
morrow would be followed by a decla-ration of war against Turkey. Thisfeeling, however, is not general. Tues-day in Greece is regarded as an un-lucky day to enter upon anything ofgreat importance and for this, morethan for other reasons, political or mil-
itary, is based hope that the independ-ence celebration will pass off withoutfrontier incidents likely to precipitatethe struggle for which Greece has beenpreparing for the past two months.
Although this week is likely to be afateful one for Greece, the orders ofPrince Constantin. the crown princeand commander-in-chie- f of the Greekforces in Thessaly, are most strict that '
anything in the shape of a demonstra- - :
tion in the direction of the Turkishfrontier must be suppressed. The sol-diers and armed peasants, however,are in no mood to be curbed, and no-body would be astonished to hear of anaggressive movement at least upon thepart of the Greek irregulars. :
The Turkish commander-in-chie- f, Ed-he- m
Pasha, is fully alive to the diff-iculty and dangers of the situation and j
has already strengthened the frontieroutposts, besides taking other meansto meet any contingency which mayarise. Fifty thousand Turks, with afew hours notice, can be sent across the j
Greek frontier- - and, according to un- - t
biased military experts, the Turkishflag might be Hying over Tarrissa a fewdays later. The Greeks, while ani-mated by fierce enthusiasm and desirefor war, are not nearly so well dis-ciplined as the Turkish trooos. and the

(Charleston News and Courier.)Savannah, Ga, April 4. A special to
The Morning News from Fernandlna,Fla., says: The Vesuvius arrived herelate last night from Jacksonville, andin coming over the bar spoke the tugAlexander Jones, of Wilmington, andtook her in charge and brought her tothis port.
An officer has been placed aboard ofthe tug, and captain J. J. Atkins, of the '
Jones, has protested and left the tug inthe government's hands, and notifiedthe officials that he would hold themresponsible for every minute he was de-- '
tained by them, as he holds contract forwork in the harbor which he was on hisway here to do. j
The Alexander Jones belongs to theWilmington Pilots' Association. It isthought In official circles that this boatwas to have taken an expedition outhere last night, but there are no signsof arms and men to be found in thevicinity. It Is also rumored that therepresentative of the Spanish govern- - 1
ment has made a big mistake.The Vesuvius is still in port, and has
the port well guarded against anythingof a filibustering nature. The tug Alex- -ander Jones Is lying at the railroaddocks with her steam very low. j
Jacksonville, Fla., April 4. A tele-phone message from Fernandina toThe Times-Unio- n states that the tugAlexander Jones was brought in therelato last night in charge of an officerfrom the cruiser Vesuvius. The gov-ernment vessel came in today. The tugwas seized on Cumberland Sound onsuspicion of being a filibuster, but asnothing suspicious was found on hershe was held on the charge of violatingthe navigation laws, being withoutlights when seized by the Vesuvius.The cruiser was out all night, and herappearance spoiled a large expedition ,
that was ready to sail from that place. ;
The tug Panama was lying at the dockthere at midnight with several largebarges alongside of her loaded witharms and ammunition. When theJones came in they took alarm, and thebarges were run off up the St. Mary'sriver and hid, so that when the Vesu-vius came in she found nothing sus-picious on the tug. As the tug wasfired up, and had a big lot of coal on,she was viewed with suspicion. TheJones had a lot of coal on, it is said,and a very large crew for so small avessel 1.
(.w asmngton 'ost.;Jacksonville, Fla., April 4. The j
cruiser Vesuvius prevented a Cuban ex-pedition from leaving Fernandina lastnight, and captured the tug Alexander j
Jones, of Wilmington, N. C. Thecruiser left here suddenly yesterdayyesterday afternoon upon informationfurnished by -- Spanish Vice consulPotous that an expedition would leaveFernandina at 12 o'clock at night. Thecruiser went down the river and an-chored off Fernandina bar. About 12o'clock a tug with only two lights burn-ing at the masthead was seen to ap-proach, and the flash light of the Vesu-vius was thrown upon her. The tugproved to be the Alexander Jones, andthe captain gave as an excuse for hisjue&eiiee iiictt iitr was waimig iui lows.An officer from the Vesuvius wasnlaced aboard, and then the rrniserwent out to sea in search of the Ber- - ,
muda, which was expected.

nals displayed as those of the Jones. !
The Hash light was again used, at j
which the steamer turned and startedin another direction. A signal from theVesuvius brought the steamer to astandstill, however, and it was seen to i
'be the Bermuda. The Bermuda, how --
tever, was outside the three-mil- e lim
mr'Sthority to detain her. The Bermuda !
apparently had no cargo on board, ;
standing very nign out oi me water.The Jones was escorted into the port
of Fernandina and turned over to Co-llector of Customs Baltzell, who placed !
a deputy aboard. The tug will proba-bly be lined for a violation of the navi-gation laws in having only two lightsdisplayed. i
The plans of the Cubans were for j
General Sanguilly to leave this city J
with a party of Cubans for Fernandina.A small tug was then to tow two light-ers loaded with arms and ammunitionand the men out to the bar where theywere to be met by the tug Jones withcoal and provisions aboard, and every-thing was to be transferred to the Ber-muda. The quick action of the Vesu-vius prevented their plans from beingcarried out.
(By Associated Press.)Jacksonville, Fla., April 5. The tug
Alexander Jones, which was seized bythe Vesuvius at Fernandina Saturdaynight, is still detained; but no chargehas been preferred. The captain deniesthat he was doing anything but waitingfor tows, although suspicions indicateotherwise. The tug will probably befined for violation of the navigationlaws, for not displaying the properlights. The Vesuvius returned here to-day, but reported nothing new. Cap-tain Pillsbury evidently made a mis-take in not waiting for the Bermuda tospeak the Jones, when it could havebeen caught as well.

Hundred of People See It It "Wan Uril-liant- ly
Lighted and Moved "West look-ed Like It Had Rlgglng-Se- en In CitiesOut West.Hundreds of people were out on the
streets and wharves last night, look-ing at a brilliant floating mass in thehfavor.s to the west of the city. Itwas moving very rapidly, and manypersons saw net-wor- k about the aerialwonder. Some of our very best andinoht reliable citizens saw so much ofthe heavenly stranger that they hadnot the slightest doubt but that it wasthe air ship which has been reportedfrom other cities. The ship moved tothe west at a rapid rate. It seemedto have something like a search-ligh- tfacing earthwards, and created a sen-
sation among all classes of people.The ship appeared to come from thv
ocean and passed opposite Markrstreet dock, going in the direction ofthe .Vavassa guano works. Some gen-tlemen who saw the ship throughHeld glasses inform us that they couldBee wires and ropes and rigging aboutit. To the naked eye many coloredlights were visible. Kven those wholooked at it without glasses admit ofno doubt but that it was an airship.
OMAHA SEES AN AIR SHIP.Omaha, Neb., March 31. During the
last six months an alleged airship hanbeen obse rved floating in the heavensin different sections of this state. Forthe last three nights it has been seenhovering over Omaha. The unusuaoccurrence has led to the opinion thatan inventor of a real .airship has beentesting his machine in Nebraska pre-paratory to placing it before the public.The indications are that John CPreast, of this county, is the author ofthe mysterious machine, though hevigorously denies that such is the case.Preast occupies his time at his countryresidence, near Omaha, in experiment-ing with airships, constructing models,etc., and has been so engaged for thelast ten years. Some time ago he toldseveral persons that he would surpristhe world with a working model in1M7.
There is no doubt that the light seenin different parts of the state is thasame, sinee the descriptions oy thepersons who have seen it always agree.The light is about as large as a loco-motive headlight and it seems to boturned up or down, right or left at th.twill of sojne human agency. Sometimesit is seen rushing through the air at avery high rate of speed, and again isobserved stationary or moving slowlythrough the heavens about half a milehigh. The two times in the last weekthat the light has been seen at Omahait disappeared near Preast s home.
KANSAS CITY STARTLED.Kansas City, Mo., April 4. The lighl
that appeared in the heavens over thi:eity last night was watched for morethan an hour by thousands of excitedpersons, who crowded the streets orsought places of vantage on bluffs andhouseops. The light was about the sizeof a locomotive headlight, but wa ibrighter and apparently electric. Itappeared soon after 8 o'clock on thewestern horizon, and swiftly approach-ed the city until it rode in the sky lika wonderfully brilliant star, at an angleof about forty-fiv- e degrees. Then itmoved rapidly from north to south, dip-ped down toward the earth and roseagain.
As the light rose it became quite dirrrbut when it was falling or stationary orsweeping horizontally it blazed outbrilliantly again. Many persons wereeotivinced that it was the search-ligh- tof an airship. About 9:lii o'clock thrlight suddenly grew small and red andswept off to the horizon in a north-westerly direction and disappearedAbout an hour later telegrams fromEverest, a litle town in Brown countyKansas, about sixty miles northwestof Kansas City, announced the appear-ance of the same mysterious light thathad puzzled Topekans, including Gov-ernor Leedy and many other conspicu-ous men. a few nights since. One ofthe dispatches said:
"At !':or tonight the light appearedin the southwest so brilliant that it at-tracted attention almost immediately.As the airship came over the city thofull power of the wonderful lamps wa tturned on, and the city was Hoodedwith light. The entire population wassoon outdoors watching the aerial nav-igator as it n eared the earth, or withthe velocity of an eagle darted upwardand again in an instant would sailaway into space until the light.?merely twinkled. Then reversing, itwould sail back over the heads of theastonished spectators. For five minutes at one time it seemed to skirt thelowest edge of a cloud that hung lowin the heavens, and it was then thatthe powerful lights were reflected onthe clouds and the outlines of a shipalxuit thirty feet long apparently weroclearly distinguished.
"For one hour and twenty minutesthe airship was never out of sight, and,while passing back and forth over thocity, it made maneuvers, remainingstationary at different points. At onotime, while the shin was motionless,immediately alnwe the throng, witha clear sky for a background, the lightdisappeared and nothing was seen but.a black mass for about ten seconds.Then the lights flashed out and theship moved away to the right. In or-
der to vouch for the accuracy of thefacts set forth. The Times correspondent here obtained this affidavit:
" "This is to certify that we, the un-dersigned, saw and watched for somotime tonight the movements of largeand brilliant lights that travelled at va-rious heights over this city, and thatwe believe the same was seen at va-rious other points, and believe it to boan airship.' "
The signers of the affidavit are J. EGunn. proprietor of the Commercialhotel: E. E. Mason, of the roller mills;A. L. Stout, a capitalist; Cleve Mc-Greg- ar,
of Lyons Brothers, and T. El-lington, all men of repute.
Kansas City people are nonplussed,there is a variety of explanations, butas to the light itself there is no ques-tion.

C. T. Bailey has the endorsement ofSenator Pritchard and CongressmanPearson for the position of postmasterhere in Raleigh. He will have to waita year, though, as the term of Post-master Busbee does not expire untilApril 1, 1898.
Governor Russell will ask the railroadcommission to rtduce railway and tel-egraph rates. He will ask it to makothe first class rate 2 cents per mile, in-stead of Zi cents, as it is now on allroads whose gross earnings are $5,000per mile.
