Athuns, April 23.—It is reported here
mat the Greek fleet is proceeding to—
ward the Dardanelles for the purpose
of meeting the Turkish fleet stationed
there.

A. dispatch received here from Arts.
today announces that Major Sontzo,
“with twp squadrons of cavalry, has

captured three villages which were oc-

A third squadron of cavalry has oc-

Arts..- The Turks retreated, leaving
three cannon and a quantity of dyna-
mite in the hands of the Greeks.

Heavy Fighting at ‘Miloum.

Headquarters 01‘ the Turkish Army,
Mllouna Pass, April 23.—Very heavy
fighting has been in progress since
dawnyesterday, the Greeks having en-
deavored to take by storm the Turkish
position on the hill opposite the en-
trance of the ravine. The Greeks were
repulsed upon each occasion, with tre—
mendous losses. The engagement is
still proceeding. The Turks have a
strong reserve force ready to be
brought into action if needed. During
yesterday’s fighting in the same local-
ity a Turkish general of brigade was
killed.

Preparing to March on Larissa.

Vienna, April 23. — The Neue Freie
Presse publishes a dispatch from Con-
stantinople saying that Edhem Pasha,
the Turkish commander in chief, has
telegraphed to the sultan announcing
that his advance guard is within an
hour’s march of Larissa. The Turkish
general adds that he has a force of
35,000 men with him; he estimates the
Greek army opposing him to number
40,000 men and expresses the hope that
the fall of Larissa, “with the help of
God, is imminent." ,

Bulgarian Raid Feared.

Sofia, Bulgaria, April 23.—The Turk-
ish authorities, fearing a Bulgarian raid
into Macedonia, have re-enforced the
Ottoman troops holding the passes of
the Rilo mountains. ‘

The Macedonian junta has its head-
quarters here and has decided not to
act until the result of Emperor Francis
Joseph’s coming visit to the czar is
known. The junta expects important
developments from this visit.

The Situation at Damasi.

’Athens, April 23.—The latest advices
to the government from Larissa as to
the situation at Damasi indicate that
the earlier reports of the fighting there
were inaccurate in important details.
1 battle has taken place on the Damasi
plain. The Greeks approached close to
Damasi, but thus far have failed to
capture it.

On the Dobrudscha Frontiers.

London, April 23.—A telegram from
Bucharest, Roumania, says theRou-
manian minister for war has ordered
the garrisons on the Dobrudscha fron-
tiers to be reinforced by two battalions
of troops. The king of Roumania has
postponed his foreign trip.

Greek Positions Taken.

Larissa, April 23.—The Turks have
occupied several Greek positions near
Nezeros.

Very severe fighting occurred west-
ward of this place during the morning.

Reason For Izzet Bey’s Disgrace.
Constantinople, April 23.—The Turk—
ish squadron still remains in the Dar-
danelles. There is much comment

here on the disgrace of Izzet Bey, until-

recently the favorite adviser of the sul-
tan. Izzet is reported to have been ar-
rested. One cause of his disgrace, ac-
cording to report, is that he withheld
from the sultan two of Edhem Pasha’s
dispatches informingthe sultan that
the position of the Turkish army in
Macedonia was intolerable, owing to
the incursions of the Greek irregulars,
and asking for authority to advance.
Izzet’s object, it appears, was to gain
time with the view of bringing about a
pacific settlement of the Cretan ques—
tion with Greece direct. :

Another account of the disgrace of Iz-
zet Bey has it that the Turkish minis-
ter for war, Riza Pasha, insisted upon
Izzet Bey’s discharge because the lat-
ter ordered the. director of telegraphs,
'Ali Effendl, to deliver to him all of Ed-
hem Pasha’s dispatches. '

M. De Nelidoff, the Russian embassa-
dor, has advised the Turkish govern-
ment not to expel the Greeks from

however, are already leaving.

An official notice just published or- i
ders alLvessels flying the commerCIal,

ensign of Greece to leave Ottoman wa-

ters within a fortnight from Saturday,
last. April 17, the day of the severance ,

of diplomatic relations between Turkey
and Greece. By the same order all
Turkish vessels in Greek waters are re-
quired to leave them within the same
period. Finally, at the expiration of

the fortnight the services of the Turk- '
ish lighthouses in .the gulf of Salonika j_
will be suspended, and the gulf itself~

will be closed at night to navigation as
:long as the war lasts.
A Menace From Bulgaria.

There

ity, for five additional Bulgarian bish-

-ops in Macedonia and for the appoint-
-ment of Bulgarian commercial agents’

.at Uskub and Monastir. The Bulga—
rian representative here, D. Markoif,

had an audience With the sultan on the .

subject and informed him that unless
the berats were conceded by Friday
"next Bulgaria would begin to mobilize
.her army on Saturday. ‘

The sultan promised to grant the
‘berats, but asked Bulgaria to be pa-
tient until the war with Greece Was
over. He also granted Bulgaria’s re-
quest for permission to appoint com-
mercial agents at Uskub and Monestir.
In spite of this the Bulgarian represent-
ative yesterday presented an ultima-
tum at the Yildiz Kiosk, and subse-
quently the Russian embassy informed
the Bulgarian representative that the
moment was inopportune for insisting
upon the sultan”s granting the berats,
adding that Russia would not support
the demand if the Bulgarian army was
mobilized, and that the responsibility
for the consequences would fall exclu-
sively upon Bulgaria.

Greeks Hastening Home to Fight.

London, April 23.—A dispatch from
Marseilles says that 200 Greek volun-
teers sailed for Athens last evening ac-
companied by 60 American Greeks. The
crews of the Greek merchantmen ev-
erywhere have been ordered home to
join their respective regiments.

Chicago, April 23.—Two hundred
Greek volunteers for King George’s
army will leave Chicago for Athens this
evening and as many more will follow
their comrades on Monday. All day
recruiting is going on in the Greek
church on Kinzie street. Greenbacks
and gold and silver are piled in front
of the altar. The aggregate of the col—
lections amounts to about $6,000. Arch-
bishop Feehan gave $25. Excitement is
at fever heat in the crowded church,
with many affecting scenes and epi-
The work will be kept up until
enough money is raised to defray the
transportation charges of every Chicago
Greek who wants to go home to fight.

“If the recruiting keeps on much lon-
ger at the present rate,” said Father
Phiambo, “I may as well pack up my
traps and go to the‘ front with the rest,
for my congregation and my occupation
will both be gone.”

Five hundred men, it is .said, will be
on their way from here to join King
George's army next week.

The Minneapolis contingent of Greeks

passed through the city last evening, as .

did also the recruits from Texas and
the southwest. The Chicago recruits

leaving this evening will sail from New .

York by a French liner.

 

The Situation Critical.

Paris, April 23.—The situation on the
Thessalian frontier, according to a dis-
patch received here from Athens today,
is considered to be highly critical. It is
feared that the Greek troops, exhausted
by three days’ hard fighting, will be
unable to resist much longer the furl-
ous attacks of the Turks.

Le Journal’s correspgndent at Odessa
telegraphs .that all the necessary meas-
ures have been taken at Sevastopol for
the eventual: intervention of Russia in
the war between Turkey and Greece.

The correspondent of Le Journal at
Athens telegraphs that in the advance
on Damasi, announcement Of whose
capture yesterday was premature, the
Greek troops suffered considerably and
the Turkish losses were enormous. At
Boughazi two entire Turkish companies
were annihilated while trying to cap—
ture the Greek batteries.

The dispatch says that the Turkish
fort at Viglia is surrounded by Greeks
who are trying to silence the six Turk-
ish batteries remaining in position.
Even these are not supported by infan-
try.

According to a dispatch received here
from Constantinople Greece has in—
formed the powers that she will aban—
don her claims to the island of Crete if
the powers will force Turkey to cede
her Epirus and Mount Olympus, accord-
ed to her by the treaty of Berlin.

Greeks Massacred.

London, April 23.—According to a dis-
patch from Athens massacres of Greek
citizens have taken place near Prevesa,
the Turkish town at the entrance of the
gulf of Arta. The Greek troops have
stormed five villages occupied by the
Turks.

The Greek legation here has received
a dispatch from M. Skouzes, the minis-
ter for foreign affairs of Greece, in
which, referring to the order for the
expulsion of all Greeks from Turkey at
the expiration of a fortnight from Sat-
urday last, the date of the rupture of
diplomatic relationsbetween Greece and
Turkey, he says their expulsion is con-
trary to the principles of modern civil—
ization. He adds that Greece’ desires
all Turkish subjects residing within

Greek territory to remain as long asl

their conduct does not afford ground
for complaint. '

Major Anzolinos, who gave the order
for the abandonment of Gritzovali by
the Greek troops and who was replaced
by Colonel Papastavro for 'so doing, be-
ing held responsible for the loss of that
place, according to a dispatch from
Athens, has committed suicide at Tyr-
navo.

A special dispatch from Athens says

'that offers of help are reaching the

Greek government from all quarters
and the military authorities expect to
have 40,000 volunteers enrolled before
the beginning of next week. ‘

The Epirotes at Athens are preparing
to leave that city in order to assist the
Greeks in capturing Epirus.
