WAR 18 PREDICTED.
Trouble Between Russia and Turkey I
in the Spring Probable.
St. Petersburg. Feb. 28, via Kydtku
hnen, German Frontier. March 2.—
Some publicists are of the opinion that
only the sternest language towards
Turkey can prevent a war between
Russia and Turkey in the spring
They believe that Turkey will pursue
bands of Macedonian revolutionaries
across the Bulgarian frontier and that
public opinion will compel Russia to
Interfere.
The Russians thoroughly understand
that a war with Turkey will be a more
severe one than that of 1878. Officers
are quoted as saying that the Turkish
army is the best in the world owing
to its German organization and arma
ment. There is an inclination here to
anticipate German financial support of
Turkey, and, in the view of the situa
tion forebodings of a clash with Tit
key are freely expressed in private, al
though they are carefully suppressed
in the newspapers.
Constantinople, March 2.—Advices
from Bulgaria, Servia and Macedonia
reflect the disappointment felt here re
garding the illusory nature of the Aus
tro-Russian scheme of Macedonian re
forms which the sultan has agreed to.
Consular dispatches from Salonica re
IK>rt serious encounters between Turk
ish troops and bands of Bulgarians in
the Uskuh district, manv being killed
on both sides.
Condon, March 2.—The Geneva cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle tel
egraphs that news has been received
there of an engagement between Turk
ish troops ami bodies of Macedonians
and Bulgarians near Monastir. The
Turks suffered a repulse. After the
fight ?,2 dead and many wounded men
were found.
GEN. WM. J. SMITH DEAD.
He Was One of the Prominent Figures
of the Late Civil War.
Philadelphia, March 2—Gen. Wil
liam Farrar Smith, Wetter known as
“Haldy” Smith, om1 of the prominent
figures of the civil war, died nt his
home in this c ity. Ho was in his 80th
year, and was born in St. Albans, Va.
He entered West Point at the age of
>7. and when the civil war broke out
he was made commander of the Third
Vermont regiment. Ho rose* rapidly
and became one of the leading figure:;
in that struggle. Fifteen years ago
lie* became engaged in the work of im
proving t he- rivers and harbors in'Del
aware and Maryland, tun) made hi:s
home in this city. About a year ago
lie retired from this work and last No
vember lie took a cold from tv hich he
never recovered, lie* is survived by a
daughter and a son. who is an as>,;>t
ant naval constructor. The funeral
of the general will be- held on Tuesday
morning. Gen. Smith’s death, it is
said, reduces the number of living
corps commanders of the civil war to
four.
