Athens, April 26.——The Turkish .ad-
vance forces are now encamped in
sight of Larissa, which has been com-
pletely evacuated by the Greeks, who
spiked their guns in position and car—
ried away all :the movable cannon and
~munitions of war. The wounded re-
main at Larissa under the protection
of the Red Gross flag.

All telegraphic communication with
Larissa is interrupted, but it is under-
stood that the retreat of the Greek
army was conducted with the best of
order.

The excitement and disquiet at Ath-
ens because Of the sudden abandon-
ment of Larissa continues, but the
tranquility of the city is unbroken as
yet. ,
The newspapers counsel the people of
Athens to receive the bad news with
patience and .sangfroid, considering
t the army fought courageously in
de ense of the national honor, paying
the price by heavy sacrifices.

Special dispatches received from the
frontier assert that the Turks attack-
ing Mati were repulsed seven times
yesterday. At 6 o’clock in the evening
the .Greek forces were obliged to give
way. The Greeks retreatedin good or?”
der on Karaclas, where they are in—
trenched. From Arta the Greeks occu-
pied the heights of Pentepigadia. It is
believed that the military operations in
Epirus will soon be terminated. -

Prince Constantine, the crown prince
and commander in chief of the Greek
forces in Thessaly, and his staff have
reached ,Pharsales, where the Greek
troops are being gathered together.

The Greek army at present is suffer‘
ing from lack of medical supplies. The
chloroform is already exhausted and
nurses, medicines, clinical thermome-
ters, lint and surgical appliances are
needed. -

 

Osman Pasha’s Plans.
Paris, ,April 26.—It is stated in a dis-

‘patch from Constantinople that Osman

Pasha’s plan of campaign is to recall
all the Turkish forces in Epirus, leav-
ing only a strong garrison at Janina
and abandon the rest of the province.

The Turkish army in Epirus would
thus be able to effect a junction with
the Turkish army in Thessaly by
marching northward round the moun-
tains dividing the two provinces.

Osman Pasha would eventually have
the whole Turkish force at his disposal
and would be able to deal a decisive
blow.

The bombardment of defenseless
towns like Santi Quartana has excited
much adverse comment in Constantino-
ple. Similar criticism has been made

,. concerning the bombardment of Pre-

vesa, which was destroyed, although
the fire on the Greek fleet was from the
forts. ,

An extra session of the cabinet is be-
ing held at the Yildiz kiosk.

The French military attache at Con-
stantinople has gone to the front for
the purpose of reporting the progress of
the war to his government.

The departure of volunteers from
Italy for Greece is being prevented by

, the police of the various towns.

The Red Cross society in Switzerland
is organizing ambulance corps for the
purpose Of assisting the Greek wounded.

Captain Chermside, in command of
the international forces at Candia, has
asked for rerenforcements. The insur—
gents are closing around the town, and
the Turks are abandoning their posi-

- tions around, the fort. There areGreek

regulars among the insurgents, who are
commanded by Chief_Korakas. \

From Athens it is stated that dis-
content exists there at the fact that
King George has not yet started for the
front. His reserve is considered ex-
cessive. . .

The feeling at Athens against Russia
still runs high. The Greek government
has rejected Russia’s offer to protect
the Greek orthodox in Turkey, Rus—
sia’s eagerness to do so having caused
doubts as to her motives, and the gov-
ernment of Greéce has now begged
Great Britain t protect the orthodoxs.

It is unders ood that in a message
which the king is preparing he will in-
vite all Greeks throughout the world to
make sacrifices of money as well as
blood.

The Pope Against the Turk.
London, April 26.—Accordin'g to ad-

_ vices from Rome, relations between the

holy see and Turkey are-entirely sus-
pended. The whole interest of the Vat-
ican .is directed toward inducing the
powers to end Turkish rule in Europe,
with the view of a. great revival and
reorganization of the Christian eastern
churches.

A telegram from St. Petersburg says
the, fact that the war has not produced
discord among the powers and has not
modified the programme of the impe-
rial visits is regarded in ofl‘lcial cir' s
as a solid guarantee of the localizatiOn
of the war and as a safeguard of peace.

This statement, however, forms a
contrast with the news~ from Toulon
announcing that the entire French
Mediterranean squadron was taking
aboard provisions, coal and ammuni—
tion in order to sail for the Levant, if.
necessary, tomorrow.

The attitude of the various Balkan,

states is closely watched in political
circles. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria
is playing his own,game and is deter-
mined to profit to the utmost by Tur-
key's stress, apparently heedless of ad-‘
vide even from Russia; ..

The Servian minister at Paris, in an
interview, describes Servia’s attitude
as being one of strict neutrality. He
added: “Bulgaria is in the same posi-
ftion’asourselves. She is more insistent;
[but there is no danger, as it is in the
interest of'l'the porte to grant what we

flask.” The Servian minister did not;

. I

 

 

 

‘think the rwar would last long. He said

the Greeks mustnot reckon upon a. rls-;

:ing in Macedonia. ‘ ,

'The rumor -in.Athens that the Greek
warships were preparing to make a
ndaSh rt-hrough.the Dardanelles caused
:much interest in military and naval
:circles. It. was pointed out that the
bombardment of small ports on the Al-
banian and Macedonian coasts does not
require powerful ironclads such as the
Psara, Hydra and Spetzal, and these
:may ‘try to :run the gantlet of the
’Turkish ships and forts in the straits.
If only two of them succeed in getting
through, the effect of their appearance
'in the Bosponus would be incalculable.
'Itiis quite “certain that with their pres-
:ent :armament the Turkish warships
“would be ,powerless against them.

The .Kaiser Wants Peace.

:Eerlin, April .26.—Empcror ITilliam
arrived at Carlsruhe yes:erday. He
‘was received by the burgomaster and
the .other officials of the town and
cheered by thercrowds of people who
filled the streets. In replying to an ad—
dress Of’welcome by the bui‘gCIILaster
the emperor said:

“I can assureyou that peace will be
2maintained, ,noLonly for Germany, but
for .thc whole of Europe. The best basis
for the maintenance of peace is a strong
.army and a strong navy. I hope that
the German people will support my ef-
forts to preserve these means for the
maintenance of ,peace.”

The war between Greece and Turkey
monopolizes public attention in Ger-
many. The opinion is expressed in po-
litical and diplomatic circles that the
war “will not finish soon and that it will
not remain localized very long. It is
stat-ed in government circles that Ger—
many’s interests "have already been vi-
tally engaged, and it seems to be a
foregone conclusion, whatever the final
outcome of the present troubles, that
the political readjustment of the orien-
tal question will also lead to a readjust-
ment of the powers’ alliances. The en-
te'nte between Germany and Austria.
on one side and Russia and France on
the other will, it is believed, become
much closer in the near future.

A diplomat who was a member of
Emperor William’s suite during the trip
to Vienna. said to your correspondent:

“The efforts of the powers will be di-
rected to keeping the war confined to
narrow limits, but :the success of their
endeavors is doubtful. If Turkey ut-
terly routs Greece, all will be well. But
if Greece meets with even temporary
success all will be chaos, as there are
good reasons to suspect that Bulgaria,
Servia and Montenegro are only wait-
ing for a chance to break loose, espe-
cially Bulgaria, which is hankering
after Macedonia herself.”

The visit of Prince Ferdinand of Bul—
garia to Berlin was an event Of more
than ordinary importance. The prince’s
audience with the emperor was not sat-
isfactony. His majesty strongly dis-
suaded the prince from engaging in
warlike enterprises and plainly warned
him of the unpleasant consequences.
Prince Ferdinand, however, was ap-
parently not discouraged, for he en-
tered into negotiations with Berlin
financiers for raising a Bulgarian loan,
and he also entered into negotiations
with the Krupps for a supply Of quick
firing and heavy guns.

Edhem Pasha Not Deposed.

Washington, April 26.——Mustafa Bey,
the Turkish minister here, has re-
ceived the following cablegram from his
government: “Marshal Edhem Pasha
telegraphs that the Hillock of Lesvaki,
which is the principal point command-
ing Tyrnavo, was taken on the 23d
inst. by the Ottoman troops. Hamid
Pasha’s division, which started from’
Cozkeny, n‘f‘ade a junction with the im-
perial troops at Milouna. The town of
Tyrnavo, situated, two hours distant
from Larissa, was occupied today by

Elassona’s army corps. Our forces con- "

tinue to advance toward the plain of
Larissa."

The minister said that he had been
authorizedsrby his government to deny
the published. statement that Edhem
Pasha, the commander in chief, had
been superseded by Osman Pasha, and
that Ahmed Pasha, the commander of
the army in Epirus, had been displaced
by Saadeddin Pasha. These reports,
the minister said, were wholly false in
every particular.

London, April 26.—A dispatch from
Paris says that official circles in that
'city have received confirmatory infor-
mation that Osman Pasha will act
merely as an advisor to Edhem Pasha,
who will retain his active command.

Constantinople newspapers describe
Osman Pasha’s position as inspector
general.

Turkey’s Military Strength.
Constantinople, April 26.—All war
neWS is being carefully suppressed here
by the authorities, the government
meanwhile seeking to account for the
lack of information from the front by
giving out statements that the wires

are broken, cutting off all- telegraphic

communication.

The fact is, however, that the wires
are in working order, and all dispatches
passing through Constantinople are be-
ing held back under the excuse given
above.

The cabinet council at the Yildiz
kiosk\yesterday discussed the enroll—
ment of volunteers and decided, as the
treaty of Berlin forbids the use of ir-
regulars, that all volunteers must wear
the Turkish uniform and serve under
regular officers appointed by the gov-
ernment. Out of 20,000 Albanian volun-
teers, One-half have accepted these con-
ditions, and the others, who refused,
have beer; sent home.

An ' official report gives the entire
number of Turkish troops under arms
as being 357,000, whereof 217,000 are in
European Turkey. _

The ambulance service contributed
by the ‘Ottoman bank, which has been
sent to the front consists of 50 beds in
charge of Dr. Lardy, a. Swiss surgeon,
and four assistant physicians.

HAY (GORDIALLY RECEIVED.

But Oun- mngflish Cousins Are Not Sure
That “’9. Love Them.

London, April 26.—The reception ac-
COIded to Coirnel John y,‘ the new
United Stat-es embassador to the court
ofSt. James. has been most cordial on
all sides. The newspapers have been

 

most eulogistic and it‘ is emphatically.

a case of '“Le Roi est Mort, Vive 1e Roi.”
There have been many allusions to
Colonel I—I-ay‘s dignified reticence, com-
pared with the volubility of his prede-
cessor, Mr. Thomas F. Bayard.

The Daily News, after the warmest
praise of Colonel Hay, says:

rather critical moment. A year ago
Great Britain and the United States
were on the brink of war, and the re-
ception of the arbitration treaty has
been a bitter disappointment to Amer-
ica’s best friends in England. Colonel
Hay of course cannot influence the sen-
ate; but, doubtless inform Secretary
She'rman' how strong is England’s wish
for its speedy ratification."

The Daily Mail remarks: “There is
something undignified in. the gushing
manner"we welcome every gentleman

the president is good enough to send.

Does Colonel Hay speak the truth when
he talks about the ‘affectionate greet-
ing of millions of our kindred across the
sea?’ We all know our kindred are
anything but affectionate, and if Colo-
nel Hay seems too friendly a hundred
American newspapers will call him to
order." '

SCHEME or SHEA—YA.

Plan to Unite Nicaragua, Henduras and
Salvador fiIay Cause “far.

New York, April 24.—Advices from
Managua, Nicaragua, state that the Of-
ficial Gazette declares that President
Zelaya of Nicaragua has written re-
cently to President Guterrez of Salva-
dor, urging a compact union of Nica-
ragua, Honduras and Salvador, instead
of the -.loosely , associated “republica
mayor” now existing.

If President Guterrez will agree, there
appears no question about the consent
of President Bonilla of Honduras, a
protege of Zelaya.

Then the latter will l‘f;Ome president
of the three states, anu civil war may
result between the grvcrnment and a
large percentage t.‘ the more intelligent
and wealthy of the people opposing a
combination of the three so called dic-
tators, Zelaya, Bonilla and Guterrez.
and the people,it is stated, will be prob-
ably assisted by the governments and
people of Guatemala and Costa Rica.
