This of Truce to Request a Cessation of
Hostilities For a Few Days—Cretan In-
surgents Refuse to Accept Autonomy.
Athens, May ~L—The diplomatic sit-
uation may be summed up as follows:
No request for mediation has been or
‘ 'will be addressed by Greece to the pow—
ers until the ministers of war and ma-
rine report upon the state of the Greek
forces at Pharsalos and elsewhere.
The powers have not offered media—
tion, although they do not conceal the
fact that "a. request for intervention
would be highly acceptable to them.
The minister for foreign affairs, M.
Skouloudis,- says the military situation
’has greatly improved in both Epirus
and Thessaly and that the victory of
the Greeks over the Turks .at Velestino
was brilliant.
Advices from Arta say that the chief
local authorities and about 100 inhab-
itants of that place have returned
where. Panic, hOWever, still prevails
at Arta.
the military authorities are said to be
contemplating further withdrawal of
Greek troops from that vicinity.
In the direction of Filippiada flames
are visible.
An armed Greek priest has been at-
tempting to restore the morale of the
troops at Arta by preaching a crusade
against the Turks in the public square.
The ministers of war and marine
have left Pharsalos for Athens, after a
long conference with Prince Constan-
Itine and the headquarters staff.
A dispatch from Arta .says that the
Turks _ have occupied the bridge at
Louros.
It is probable that no minister ever
better deserved humiliation and dis—
missal than M. Delyannis, the former
premier. A little more than three weeks
ago he declared everything was pre—
pared for war, but until the begin—
lng of the fighting no preparations were'
made to resist a possible invasion of
Thessaly. A few trenches were dug in
front of Larissa, and one or two earth-
works were erected, but ten days ago
(the date the dispatch left Athens is
not given) not a spade had been used
to erect batteries or earthworks to de-
fend the exits of the half dozen passes
leading to the Thessalian plains.
Ralli’s Plans.
Rome, May 4,—Official diSpatches
from Athens received here today say
that the Greek premier, M. Ralli, con-
tinues negotiations with the View of
«securing the intervention of France,
Russia and Great Britain in favor Of
an armistic'e.
“Change of Air” For George.
Paris, May 4.——An Athens dispatch to
Le Figaro asserts that King George is
suffering from cardiacal spasms and
that his physician insists that a change
of air to the island of Milo or to the is-
land of Syra is necessary.
. Concessions Tendered Cretans.
Candia, Island of Crete, May 4.—The
admirals commanding the; fleets Of the
foreign powers in Cretan waters had a
conference with the insurgent leaders
at Paleokastro and promised the latter
complete autonomy, including that the
nomination Of their ruler should be
subject to the ratification of the Cretan
assembly. The insurgent leaders, how-
ever, cut the discussion short and reit—
erated that their motto remained, "An-
nexation to Greece or death.”
“far Nearly Over.
Constantinople, May“4.—In some of
the influential Turkish circles the opin-
ion is expressed that the war with
Greece will soon terminate. They point
out that, while Turkey was forced into
the war by Greek aggression and the
counsels of certain Of the powers, Tur-
key will not gain any advantage by
crushing Greece for the benefit of the
Slav element in the Balkans, and it is
thought that the successes attained by
the Turkish troops in Greece are all the
Turkish government could desire; Fi-
nally, it is said that, under the circum-
stances, Europe might intervene.
It is Officially reiterated that the re-
ported Turkish reverses at Velestino
are unfounded.
',The commander Of the Turkish
forces at Janina, Epirus, telegraphs
that the Turks have recaptured and oc-
cupied Louros. '
In spite of the talk of peace, the prep-
arations for war show no signs of ceas-
ing. The'whole of the landsturm, or
mustahfuz (second reserve), belonging
to the Third army corps, stationed in
the Salonika district, has been called
out.
Edhem Wants an'Armistice.
London, May ‘4.—A speflal dispatch
from Athens announces that Edhem
Pasha has sent an officer with a flag of
truce to the Greek headquarters, asking
foran armistice of five days.
_ Another dispatch from Athens says
that it is- again reported that Bulgarian
lrré’gulars to the number of about 200
men have crossed the frontier into
Macedonia.
To Protect German Interests.
Berlin, May 4. ——A dispatch from
Rome says the Italian government has
instructed the commander Of an Italian
warship at Patras, west coast of Greece,
to protect German interests there.
The Battle of Pentepigadia.
London, May 4.-—A dispatch to The
Daily News from Patras,,on the west
coast of Greece and not far from Arta,
dated Sunday, gives a most graphic
account of the battle between the
Greeks and the Turks at Pentepigadia,
Epirus, and of the retreat of the former,
from that place; It shows that therout

All the stores are .closed and .
and panic of {he Greeks at Pentepiga
dia was as complete as the stampede
which followed the fighting at Tyrnavo
and the retreat on Larissa and Phar-
salos, in Thessaly. The Daily, News
correspondent says:
“The net effect of the Greek retreat
to'Arta is that each army is now in the
position which it occupied before war
was declared, but with all prestige
gone from the Greeks. The latter had
held the hill near Pentepigadia on
Wednesday evening against fierce
Turkish attacks. The Greeks obviously
needed to be re-enforced, but, although
considerable forces were near, no help
was sent. On Thursday morning the
Turkish fire was brisker and our guns
on the crest of the hill for some reason
were silent. The fury of the fire cul-
minated at 3:30 p. m. The Turks’ fire
was easily distinguishable by reason of
the sharper crack of the martini rifle,
and it developed in the space of a.
quarter of an hour into the most ter-
rific roar ever heard in any battle,
withering down to a fusillade in three-
quarters of an hour.
' The Turks Messing.
“The Turks in the meanwhile were
massing upon the slope-s on our right-
front, preparatory to rushing the hill.
Yet our guns on the central hill were
silent after 20 minutes and were with-
drawn.
“I asked a sergeant where the guns
were going, and he replied, ‘TO a. better
position.’
“As a matter of fact they were being
romped back to Hanopoulo as fast as
the mules could take them.
“The evzones on the crest of the hill
made a gallant reply to the murderous
fire and held out manfully, gsing 100
men, till 5 o’clock, when che S began
to mingle with the roar of the martinis.
A moment later the evzones tumbled
over the crest, firing as they came, and
the Turks following and firing inces-
santly as the kilted men ran down the
hillsides. It only. remained to make
good our retreat.
“The Turks continued to pour a smart
fire at the evzones, the latter eagerly
responding.
“Then some one gave an order, and
the evzones, with a groan of disgust,
left their position and moved sullenly.
though in perfect order.” '
The correspondent of The Daily News
then described the flight of the Greeks
before the Turks, numbering about 6,000.
men, who scaled the mountain, covered
by bushes and rocks, firing continu-
ously and rapidly and driving the ev-
zones and inhabitants before them, the
latter carrying off their portable prop-
erty. He then says:
“When I left Arta on Friday morning,
the Greeks had not a man left on the
Turkish side of the river Arakphos. I
have never seen men so demoralized for
so small a cause. Indeed, it was a case
of almost no cause whatever. They had
neither seen the enemy nor felt his fire,‘
yet 11,000 men and 40 guns melted
away. Had the Turks pursued the fu-
gitives muchflfarther, accompanied, as
they were, by the peasantry, women
and children and 30,000 sheep, besides
cattle, the massacre would have been
awful.”‘
Greeks and the Relief Fund.
New York, May 4.—The metropolitan
Of Athens cabled today to Ralli Bros.
to know if $3,000 collected by the New
York chamber of commerce could be
used otherwise than for Cretan refu—
gees, as the families of the Greek s01-
diers sent to the front were in urgent
need. Mr. Woodworth, treasurer of
the chamber of commerce relief com-
mittee, cabled in reply that the fund
could not be diverted from' its original
purpose. In view of this state of th’mgs
the Greek ladies’ committee appeal ur-
gently for more funds. They cabled
today $500 for general relief of Greeks
and $500 for Red Cross work.

“Kidney disease is probably the most
f Ital of all human ailments,” says Prof.
Munyou. “There is no disease that re-
quires more careful attention. The fol-
lowing are the principal symptoms: Pain
in the back, loins or groius, drowsiness,
dark circles around the eyes, swelling of
the feet and limbs, puffy, flabby face,
headache, blurred eyesight. swelling un-
der the eyes, bad taste in the mouth,
ness languid, worn-out feeling, loss of
flesh and strength, scanty urine, dark-
colored, milky or bloody rrine.‘ depCSIts
ired sand, gravel or mucus in the urine,
frequent desire to pass water and too
great a flow. I will guarantee that my
Kidney Cure will cure 95.per cent. of all
forms of kidney disease. When the dis-
ease is far advanced and there are other
complications, the patient had better
send a film ounce vial oftheir urine, with
full symptoms. We will then make a
careful analysis Of the water, and advise
the best course to pursue to get well, ab-
solutely free of charge.” . Prof , Munyon
puts up a separate cure for each disease.
