DID NOT ORDER A RETREAT.
Pharsalos’ Position, He Thinks, Is Impreg-

Turks Again After Valestino.
Tokat Massacre Trials.
Paris, May; 6.—The correspondent of
Le Journal at Pharsalos telegraphs a
report of an interview with Crown
Prince Constantine, in which the prince
denies that he supported the retreat of
the Greek army from Larissa, which he
declares was ordered by others and not
by himself. Vt hen he heard that the
retreat had begun he resolved to collect
his troops at Pharsalos, which, he de-
clares, is aImOSt imp1egnab1e. The
prince says that he was greatly dis-
tressed at the abandonment of Larissa,
but he was foxced into it. Prince Con-
stantine added that he believed it would
be better for the Greek army to again
take the offensive, but it would first be
necessary to make sure that the troops
had regained cenfidence and that the
government was able to furnish every-
thing needful for the campaign.
‘Jelestino Attacked.
Athens, May 6.-—A dispatch received
here from V010 says that the Turks re-
sumed their attack upon Velestino to-
day. No details are furnished.
Progress of the XVar.
London. May 6.—-It is believed in the
capitals that heavy fighting will not be
resumed between the Turks and Greeks
and that hostilities will come to an end
after a few more unimportant skir-
mishes. According to the most recent
reports the powers show a disposition
to intervene and prevent further fight-
ing. It is said to be a fact that Eng-
land is in favor of stopping the war and
restoring the status quo ante bellum.
In this France supports her, and it is
rumored that Russia, Germany and
Austria have given up the scheme not
to interfere until Greece asks them to
save her.
An Athens dispatch last night report—
ed that already the powers ’had offered
to intervene, and that Greece had re-
served her reply.
This change of heart on the part of
the hitherto supporters of the Turk is
believed to be due to the fact that the
sultan daily becomes more defiant. The
successes of his troops have convinced
him that he is invincible. He has
evinced a disposition to break away
from his guardians, who now begin to
realize that instead of simplifying the
eastern question by inciting him to war
on the Greek they have greatly compli-
cated it. Today they wish for a Greek
success to check his obstinacy. Con—
stantinople advices say that the Mos-
lem ruler demands the cession of the
greater part of Thessaly, the return of
Crete and the transfer of one-half of
the Greek navy.
Advices regarding the attitude of
Greece received were somewhat con-
flicting. Colonel Tsamavos. minister of
war, and M. Theotaki, minister Of the
interior, returned from the front, where
they had been inspecting the army, and
reported to the council. A dispatch to
The Times of London said that the gov-
ernment resolved to continue the war.
The Akropr'lis of Athens announced
that it had information that the cabi-
net decided that the vs ar could not be
continued
The ministers made public a state—
ment that the condition of the Greek
army had improved greatly in the past
week. The men had been encouraged
by the victory at Velestino. and re-en-
forcements were being pushed to the
front. .
Avcnging Tokat Masgacre.
Constantinople, May 6.—Advices re-
ceived here from Tokat say that the
court which is trying the Mussulmans
implicated in that place has so far sen-
tenced 6 men to death and has con—
demned others to imprisonment for
from 7 to 15 years.
Tokat is in the Sivas district of Asia
Minor. The massacre referred to oc-
curred in March last. According to the
Greek patriarch, 700 persons were.
'killed. '
Turks Repulsed.
Larissa, May 6.—A Turkish detach-
ment attempted to capture a strong po—
sition occupied by the Greek forces, but
the Turks were outnumbered and re-
tired.

Washington, May 6.——The flagship

IS to ours, for every dollar spent in the Twin Cities is a dollar it"

HOW are we convincing them of that fact?
By giving them What they want and only What they want at
prices lower than they can buy the same goods in New York.
