EDHEM PASHA DISPLACED.
Osman Pasha Will Now Have Com-
mand of the Turkish Forces.

Europe—A Statement From the Greek
Minister of Foreign Affairs—The Turkish
Invasion of Thessaly, “mere bEven the

Interference — The Retreat From
Constantinople, APpril 24.—An addi-
tronal force of redifs, .or army reserves,
has been called out to re-enforce the
'Turkish troops operating against the
Greeks. They consist of the Koniah
brigade, from Cesarea, a division from
Smyrna, belonging to the Third army
corps; three brigades from the Fourth
army corps and a division of the Fifth
army corps. These men will total up 72
additional battalions of troops, number-
ing 50,400 men.
It is now definitely announced that
Osman Pasha; the hero of Plevna, has
519355 OSMAN PASHA. —
been appointed commander in chief of
the Turkish army having its headquar-
ters at Elassona. Edhem Pasha has
been recalled.
In addition, Saad Edin Pasha has
been appointed to command the Turk-
ish army having its headquarters at
Janina, replacing Ahmed Hifzi Pasha,
who is also recalled.
The Turkish commanders started for
their posts at once.
Constantinople, April 23.—(Delayed in
Transmission.)—It is stated here that
one of the Turkish brigades which had
been pushed forward on the plain of
Larissa has been unable to advance
farther owing to floods caused by rains
and the consequent rise of the river
Salambria. ~
Edhem Pasha has telegraphed asking
for the immediate dispatch of pontoons
to enable the troops to cross the river,
the Greeks having blown up the bridge.
These reports have had a very de-
pressing effect here, taken in conjunc-
tion with the formidable resistance
which the Turks have met with around
Tyrnavo, and it is stated that Osman
Pasha, the hero of Plevna, is to be sent
to the seat of war in order to direct the
”military operations against the Greeks.
This report has since apparently been
confirmed by the statement that Osman
Pasha, who for some time past has had
the honor of being selected to taste all
the dishes served to the sultan and to
see that they are safely conveyed, un-
touched, from the kitchen to his majes-
ty, has actually been ordered to the
front.
In addition, the Turkish military au-
thorities are considering the dispatch
of considerable re—enforcements to the
frontier.
But, in spite of the difficulties en—
countered, no doubt is felt among the
Turkish military men here that the
Turks will ultimately occupy Larissa,
though it is admitted the task will be
‘ harder than at first imagined, the gov-
ernment having confidently expected to
capture the Greek headquarters by
Tuesday morning last.
A dispatch from Salonika admits that
the Greek forces have been successful
in their operations against a Turkish
division near Louros, Epirus, and an-
other message from the same place an:
nounces that a. squadron of Greek war-
"ships is bombarding Fort Karaburun,..
on the gulf of Salonika.
\Vho Osman Pasha Is.
Osman Pasha won great distinction
in the Russo-Turkish war by his de-
fense of Plevna against the Russians.
He was born a'; Tokat, Asia Minor, in
1832, and received his education at the
military schools at Constantinople. He
has had great experience as a fighter
and was in the Crimean war, the Cre-
tan campaign and the Serbo—Turkish
war. At ‘the outbreak of the war be-
tween Turkeyand Russia he was placed
in command of the Fifth army corps.
which did great fighting. He was de-
feated at the battle of Sceleritze, and
then intrenched himself in Plevna,
which he held from Aug. 31 to Dec. 10,
1877. He surrendered with 43,000 men.
He has since been minister of war sev-
eral times, and also occupied the post
of grand marshal of the palace. Osman
Pasha is in general appearance and
character a typical soldier of the Otto-
man empire, being fanatical and brave
and very frugal. He is regarded as one
«if the most invincible soldiers of Eu-
rope in a fight behind earthworks, be-
ing more of a defensive than offensive
general. .
.Oiiicial Confirmation.
Washington, April 24..—— Secretary
fiberman has received a brief cable-
I.
J
gram from' Minister Terrell at Constan-
tinople under date of yesterday stating
that Osman Pasha. the old .hero of the
Turkish defense of Plevna, has left
Constantinople to assume command of
the Turkish army in the-field. The ca-
blegram is regarded here as significant
of some change of plans on the part of
the Turks.
0n the Thessalian Frontier.
London, April 24.—The Greek charge
d’affaires here has received a dispatch
from the Greek minister of foreign af-
fairs, dated from Athens today, giving
the exact situation on the Thessalian
frontier, from the Greek standpoint. It
is as follows: _
"In Thessaly, in the direction of Re-
veni and Boughazi, our forces have
penetrated into Turkish territory and
have advanced toward Damasi.
“All the attacks of the enemy have
been repulsed in the direction ofGritzo-
vali.
“Our army has occupied a strong po-
sition at Mati, where there has been
fighting since yesterday. The Turkish
attacks have been repulsed.
“The Greeks had to retire from Ne-
zeros, falling back on the bank of the
Derchi, a strong position which they
are now defending. ‘
“In Epirus our army is advancing
and has captured Fort Imaret, Filli-
piada and several villages.
. “The Greeks have also occupied Sala-
gora, capturing three cannon, a number
of guns and a quantity of ammunition
and provisions. '
“The army is now advancing north-
ward. “SKOUZES.”
According to a special dispatch from
Athens, fighting has occurred in the
olive groves near Prevesa between the
Turks and native Christians.
The Greek forces, it is said, while on
their way to Fillipiada, passed a num—
ber of charred corpses.
/
The inhabitants of Lakka and Sam-‘
arina have risen against the Turksland
have welcomed the Greeks with en-
thusiasm.
Turkish Supplies Captured.
Athens, April 24.—A dispatch from
Larissa dated yesterday says that after
the Greeks had fortified‘Mayryc'hori, to
which place they retreated after evacu—
ating Nezeros they reoccupied Ratnitza
and Hegani which, when abandoned by
the Greeks, the Turks failed to occdpy.
The retreat of the Greeks from Neze-
ros to Mayrychori is regarded here as a
most important movement. It is about
20 miles south, in the direction of Lar-
issa. _
After the bombardment of Katerina,
on the gulf of Salonika, during which
the custom house and public buildings
were destroyed, the Greek squadron put
to flight two battalions of Turks and
the inhabitants of thatplace. A de-
tachment was landed. and it was found
that the Turks had left behind them
large stores of provisins destined for
the armies of Edhem Pasha. These val-
r‘ible stores had been left almost un-
g't'otected, owing to the belief of the
"‘urks the-t e blockade of Greece by the
fleets of the powers would prevent the
“ireek flee‘ from attacking the Turkish
towns on the gulf of Salonika which are
near the railroad to Salonika and which
have been used as points at which to
land st"res.for the Turkish army and
forward them to the front.
The capture of these towns, not to
‘mention the loss of the stores, places a
serious difficulty in the path of Edhem
Pasha. and it is stated here that as
soon as theTurkish commander in chief
heard the news of the capture of Plat-
amona and Katerina he sent 10,000 men
toward the coast of Macedonia, fearing
a flank attack from the gulf of Salon-
ika.
The Greek fleet, in returning from the
capture of Katerina, bombarded the
port of Litchoron. -
In the villages abandoned by 'e
Turks the Greeks found a. considera ’le
quantity of ammunition.
x-The excitement here continues to be
most intense.
Advices received here today from
Volo say that even the women are arm-
ing themselves to do battle with the
Turks.
The Campaign In Epirus.
Arta, April 24.—The Turks have aban-
doned Kiafa and Kosnitzadeson on the
left bank of the Arachphos. The in-
habitants left precipitately, leaving
their belongings.
All along the route to Fort Imaret~——
captured by the Greeks—there were evi-
dences of the hasty flight of the Turk-
ish households. The belongings of the
Turks were everywhere scattered about.
The prefect of Arta has reached Fil-
lipiada. He was received with acclama-
tion by the population. _
A number of Greek wounded have
been brought to Fillipiada. The dead
were left unburied along the route.
The headquarters of Colonel Manos,
the commander of the Greek forces in
Epirus, are at Stina.
A lively fusillade continues between
the Greek and Turkish outposts around
Arta.
In the villages abandoned by the
Turks the Greeks found a considerable
quantity of ammunition.
Another Greek Victory.
'Larissa, April 24.—The latest news
from the di :trict of Kurtsiovali (prob i.-
bly identical with Gritzovali) is that
the place has been recaptured by the
Greeks. .
Berlin, April 24.—The Frankfort Zei-
tung publishes a dispatch from Con-
stantinople, dated at midnight, saying
that news of a Turkish defeat in, Greece
has just reached that city. The dis—
patch says that Osman Pasha, the hero‘
of 'Plevna, has been dispatched to the
frontier.
Of Course the Powers Will.
Brussels, April 24. —It is announced
that all tht powers have given their
assent to the note of the Russian nin-
ister for foreign affairs, Count Moura-
vieff, assuring the Greeks and Turks of
the friendly interference of the powers
in the present struggle So soon as asked
for by either side.
GEEEKS ENCOURAGED
Editor \‘Iasto Gets Information of Success
For the Hellenic Arms.
‘New York, April 24.—Solon J. Vlasto,
editor of Atlantis, who gets more pri-
vate'advices on the progress of the
Greco-Turkish war than any other
Gree in the" United States, received a
cablegram today from his trusted and
reliable correspondent at Athens which
'read: \,
“Do not believe reports of Turkish
victories. We are winning.”
Mr. Vlasto places complete depend-
ence upon this statement. He saysit is
not what his correspondent wishes, but
' Small Pill.
what is, and that it made clear how far
the truthfulness of war news coming
through British sources was to be de-
pended upon. The sudden action of
Bulgaria in threatening to mobilize her
army if certain concessions were not
made interested him greatly, and he
instantly realized the importance of the
situation. “To ask Bulgaria to wait
until the war with Greece is ended,”
said he, “is, of course, stupid. and it
was never expected that Bulgaria
would wait. Otherwise the sultan Would
not throw a force against the frontier
to repel a threatened invasion of Mace-
donia. That news is good news for the
Greeks. Bulgaria is able to oppose the
Turk with 200,000 men, all good fight—
ers. She is under the Turkish suze—
rainty, but she hates the Turk as much
as the Greeks do. Everything is“ shap-
ing itself in our favor thus far.”
From Chicago Mr. Vlasto received
this fervid message from the Sparta so—
ciety:
“Entire Hellenic community, with
great enthusiasm, sends 200 sturdy
young Greeks to the assistance of our
fatherland.” .
All the way from Omaha two young
men send word that they are anxious
to offer up their lives‘to Turkish scim-
eters if need be. Leonidas G. Schris
and Constantine Demakos telegraphed
Mr. Vlasto as follows: “Can you ar-
range ,transportation for us? We are
anxious to fight for our native land.”
Kimon Nicolaides wires from Wash-
ington that a bureau will be opened in*
that city to receive subscriptions to be
used in defraying the expenses of those
unable to pay their way hom‘e. Michael
Iatros of Lowell, Mass, telegraphed to
know the cost of a passage from New
Yorkvto Marseilles and whether a berth
could be engaged. Two dispatches from
Birmingham, Ala., and Nashville ask
for information as to sailing time and
expefises. Another dispatch from Bir-
mingham announces that 15 Greeks had
left there for New York, with the in-
tention of going immediately to the
front.
And these are samples of what is
coming from other points. There are
few weaklings among the Greeks, and
they are neither frightened by defeat
nor made mad by victory. The reversal
of their fortunes in battle seems to call
for their assistance. A success seems
to call for more men to go forward and
make the success the greater.

The Canton Man “’ill Be First Assistant

Washington, April 24.—President Mc-
Kinley has decided to nominate Wil-
