TURKISH LOSS HEAVY. The Total In the i’resent Campaign Will Reach 38,000 Men. THE RUMORS OFCMEDIATION. Triple Alliance Will Not Control Ar- rangements — Smolenski’s Heroism at the Battle of Velestino. Troops Leave Salonika. I tr. London, May 10.—-A dispatch to The Observer says that the officials and consuls at Salonika report that the Turkish losses in killed, wounded and sick during the campaign will reach 38,000. ,1 A dispatch to The Observer from Rome says that Germany unreservedly supports the demands made by Turkey upon Greece. The correspondent of The Observer at Athens says: "I am assured that the Greeks still occupy Ismaret and Salagora, in Epi- \ rus.” ,Greeks Pursue Turks. Athens, May 10.—Dispatches received ’ here from Domokos, the headquarters of the Greek army, say that the Turk- ish cavalry, in making a reconnois— ance, approached within two hours of omokos, but retreated on the ap- proach of the Greeks, who were or- dered to pursue the enemy. The Greeks, it is further stated, followed the Turk- ishcavalry to the advance posts of the enemy’s lines. Prince Constantine’s forces occupy ll the passes through which the Turk- ish troops must pass when they ad- vance, notably those of Agoriani and Tiamassi. The inhabitants of Domokos are go- ing into the interior. The admiral in command of the Greek squadron at Volo telegraphed that the French and British consuls at Volo, ac- companied by the commanders of the French, British and Italian warships, have had a conference at Velestino With Edhem Pasha, the Turkish com— mander. The latter promised to re~ spect the inhabitants and property at Volo provided the Greek squadron en- gaged to refrain from hostilities and retire beyond range. The Greek ad- miral accepted these terms. All the foreigners at Volo have em— barked for other ports, and the town is now empty. The government has informed the ministers of the powers verbally that following the recall from Crete of Colo- nel Vassos. 25 officers and .two compa- nies of sappers the gradual withdrawal .of troops from the island will take place. After a brief delay the powers will offer to mediate between Greece and Turkey. The powers will insist, however, that Greece shall confide her interests unreservedly to their hands. Negotiations have commenced, and me- diation is regarded as imminent. ~A Stirring Incident. Volo, May. 10.——A stirring incident in connection with the battle at Velestino has just beenrecorded. General Smo— lenski, with something of the magnetic enthusiasm attributed to Skobeloff, rode along the lines addressing the sol— diers and imploring them to remember the traditions of their race and fight, if need be, till the sacred soil of Thesally should be saturated with thei’r blood. It was like an inspiration. Both uni- formed soldiers and men with only bandoliers filled with cartridges, the belts around their native attire, cheer- ed and gripped their rifles more firm- ly. They gave another shout of de- termination and indulged in reckless, wild, but sometimes searching shell fire. The Turks fired volley after vol- ley steadily on their intrepid enemy. Then the Greeks left the shelter of the trenches and charged with wild shouts. The Turks quivered for a mOment and retired in confusion to the shelter of the‘mountain ridges. It was a brilliant' Greek success. ~ The News Via. “’ashington. Washington, May 10.—The Turkish le- gation received the following cable- gram from Constantinople: “Edhem Pasha, who is now at Velestino, tele- graphs that the French and British consuls of Volo called upon him in or- der to state in their own names and thcse of their colleagues that the Greek troops had evacuated the place after having released the convicts, and they requested him to send at once forces to oécupy the town and preserve the pub- lic order and safety. Ten battalions‘ sent for that purpose to V010 entered - and occupied the city. Embassadors Discuss Mediation.

Commissioner Calhoun Starts For Havana to Investigate the Matter. Washington, May 10.—TV. J. Calhoun . of Illinois, special counsel for the Unit- ed States government in the Ruiz case, has left \Vashington for Tampa, where he will take the steamer for Havana. He was accompanied by Mr. Fishback, who goes in the capacity of his secre- tary. Mr. Calhoun expects to spend a day or two, after his arrival in Havana in consultation with Consul General Lee before undertaking the formal be- ginning of the inquiry. He says that his functions are strictly limited to the investigation of the conditions under which Dr. Ruiz met his death in the jail at Guanabacoa. The proceedings are not to be in the nature of a legal trial, for, so far at least, there is no ac- cused person. They will be rather in the line of a close and thorough inves- tigationfwhiclq is to be held with the consent of and by the invitation Of the Spanish government, and the United States will be represented by special counsel, also by its invitation, in order to offer every assurance that the proceedings are fair and complete. It is expected that the investigation will be initiated by the Spanish authorities just as soon as Mr. Calhoun indicates that he is ready to begin. As the death of Dr. Ruiz took place in the jail at. Guanabacoa, a suburb within the cor-3 ' porate limits of Havana, it will n‘ét be necessary to go outside of the City to make the inquiry. No official notice has been had from Consul General Lee that the Competi- tor cases have been transferred to the civil courts, but assurances have been had that Melton, the newspaper corre- sprndent, will at least be treated with all the consideration that his noncom- batant connection with the expedition warrants. As for the other American prisoners. all Of the privileges guaran- teed by treaty are to be extended. The state department has taken the position that the crew of the ill fated Competitor, which was an American vessel, are to be held for all legal pur- poses"to be American citizens. This covers not only the case of Leavitt, who is set down in the records as a British subject. but also Alfred Laborde, the captain of the vessel, as to whose na- tivity‘ or naturalization some doubt has arisen, but u ho, as sailing under the A _'erican flag on an American vessel, wilha‘ve all of the protection that any full‘blooded American could claim un- der the treaty. A Miraculous Escape. Albany, May 10.-—Two men and a boy escaped death in the vicinity of this city in a most miraculous manner.‘The fortunate individuals were bringing milk to the city.
