Oreek troops were landed to-day at
Katarlna. on Turkish territory. ln tlie
Golf of Salonlca. and about sovetity
miles from the fortreos, accordlng to a
newg aeein-y dtapateh from Conatantl

Accordlng to ono rutnor two thou

four thouaand wounded ln a despernte

A Constantinople dlspatch, sent about

the Turklfih troops advancing and the

The Montenegrlns apparently are

that the bombardment of Tarabosch

From unofth'ial BOurcea !t was
learned that General Diaz, the rebel
londer, and Genoral Beltran, the fed?

The flghting to-day waa said to have
been Bccompenled by little ios.s <?n

ouiniimbered tlie rebel*. Who did not
attempt ? atubborn reaiatance.
other reporta say it is the ixpecta
lioii that Diaz will abandon tho cily
before to-morrow and tiy to eaCBpa bjr

Demand for Burrender Msde.
A demand for the mirrender of tha
t.ity waa nent by General Beltran
yesterday. Tho lotter was brought to
the rebel llnes by Captaln Limon. anrl
was couched ln most polltc torms, ion
rlnding wlth the Intlmatlon that If ihe
rebela did not aurrender duty would
nbiige the federal coanmandef to nae
force. When th*- loyal emissary
entered the city ho ,-mbraoed the revo
lutlonary curnet who met him. They
had been schoolmates.
General Fellx Dlaa, repiying, thanked
General Beltran for tha polite form of
the communieatlon and aald he waa
aorry the situation obllged him to offer
a forclble dofen< e. At the same time
he asked General Beltran to flx the
longest posslble time for the evaoua

The federal commander nddressed

not atiack the elty before tho iipse
of twenty-four hours, and dur.ng that
time Amerlcan* should seek safety."
Genoral Dlaz has slnce askod Gem-ra!
Beltran to name tho time ind place
at whlch non-combatants coi ld pass
both lines. Captaln Hughea 'onfetred
with Commodore Azuota. tbe federal
naval commander, as ts what would be

Decision Somawhat of a Surprit*.
The dectaBOfl bf the defendant's law?
yers not t" put Beck.-r on the witness
stand came um somewhat of a surprise.
Whlle tt would have opened the d4j4ir
to the Dlstrlct Attorney for an almost

lt was thought the chance would be
taken ln a last effort to bolster up what

fence. Becker himself was anxious to
tell his st4,ry to the jury, he said, but
willingly l)4,wed to the veto of his
