Turkey Checked by Powers— Orders Di-
recting Edhem Pasha to Suspend Hos-
tilities Followed Promptly—Jl‘he
Battle at Domokos.
- Constantinople, May 19.—There was a
sudden and unexpected change in the
political situation today. as the result
of which orders were telegraphed to
Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander
in chief in Thessaly, to cease hostili-
ties. Peace negotiations will now be
undertaken in earnest, and the Greeks
will probably be spared further humili-
ation.
This result is ascribed to Russian in-
fluences, which resulted in forcing Ger-
many and the Turkish war party to
one side.- Last night and early this
morning Turkey, supported by Ger-
many, was practically defying Russia,
France, Austria, Great Britain and
Italy, insisting upon the annexation of
Thessaly in addition" to a huge war in-
demnity, and was determined to march
on Athens.‘ Then came a rumor late
last night that Bulgaria was preparing
to mobilize her forces. This caused
alarm at the palace, and'the feeling of
consternation was increased when the
porte received Official advices from So-
fia-this morning announcing that orders
'had been issued for the partial mobili—
zation of the Bulgarian army. There
was a hurried consultation of the min-
isters. The war party was for further
defiance, but in the end pacific counsels
prevailed, and the orders were tele-
graphed to Edhem Pasha.
Germany the Stumbling Block.
The note which the representatives
of the powers here drew up at the long
meeting which they held on Sunday,
intended for presentation to the Turk—
ish government as soon as the German
embassador received the necessary in-
structions from his government, in ad—
dition to repeating the request for an
armistice and declaring the powers
would not permit Greece to be crushed,
reminded the porte of its circular is—
sued on April 18, expressly disclaiming
any desire for conquest.
This note, although its contents were
known to the Turkish government, had
not been presented this morning, as the
instructions of Baron Saurma von
Jeltsch, the German embassad‘or, did
not permit him to join in the step upon
which all the other embassadors were
fully agreed. Germany continued to
oppose any action tending to press Tur—
key' to cease hostilities, and disapprov-
ed Of any measure directed from an
anti-Turkish standpoint.
The embassadors this morning pro—
posed to hold another meeting to dis-
cuss the drawing up of a fresh note,
the wording of which might conform
more to the views of Germany.
‘In official Turkish circles the propos—
ed annexation of Thessaly is not re-
garded as being the conquest of part of
Greece. The Turks argue that this
province was ceded to Greece for de-
fined purposes and that, as the Greeks
have abused the rights conferred upon
them, Turkey resumes possession of the
territory belonging to her.
\Vhite Flag Hoisted.
Athens, May 19.—The Turks have
hoisted the white flag at Arta, from
which it is judged that the Turkish
commander has received instructions
that an armistice has been agreed
upon.
Greeks Abandon'Domokos.
L‘amia, Thessaly, May 19.—The Greeks
have abandoned Domokos as the 're—
sult of the scrious defeat sustained in
yesterday’s battle with the Turkish
forces under Edhem Pasha. The Turks
were estimated to number 50,000 and
the Greeks 35,000. The fighting lasted
until 9 o’clock last night. i '
Almyros Lost Too.
Athens, May 19.—A private telegram
received here announces that the
Greeks have abandoned Almyros, which
has been occupied by 1,500 Turks. Gen-
eral Smolentz is retreating on Kepha-
losi.
It is reported that the Greek retreat
on the Othrys mountains was marked
by great confusion and disorder.
Colonels Vassos and Limbricis start—
ed for the front today with the whole'
of the garrison Of Athens.
Destitution In Epirus.
Manchester, May 19.—The Guardian
today publishes a dispatch from its
correspondent with the Greeks which
says: ,
“The deStitution in Epirus ‘of the
Greeksis appalling. ,Eve’rything they
had in the world has been burned or
pillaged. The scenes in their flight
were dreadful. Young girls flung them-
selves from the rocks to escape out-
_ rage, and a youth shot his tw0 sisters
to save them. A boy who was captured '
by the Turks had his lips, nose and ears
cut'off and his eyes torn out before he
was :illed.”
The Sultan Confers Decorations.
Constantinople, May 19.-The sultan
has decorated the commanders of the
various corps of Turkish troops which
have been operating against the Greeks
in Epirus.
The ministry of public works has de—
cided to send engineers to Thessaly for
the purpose of rebuilding the railroads
which have been damaged during the
course of the campaign. .
Telegrams from Volo are now coming
in Turkish characters.

Domokos, May 18 (delayed in trans-

Turks and Greeks which began here
at noon today was by far the fiercest of w
The Turks now in front of '
the war.
Domokos advanced their infantry in
extended order, _making. a sustained
attack upon the Greek trenches. The
musketry rattle has been incessant for
the last four hours, but the Turks have
not appreciably advanced.
The Ottoman batteries in position are
hardly less» than 100, outnumbering ours
by two to one. The burning villages
Show that the enemy is ”already some
way around our right. ' - ‘
.CrowR Prince Constantine is va'tch-
, ./ Giving the battlefrom the heights'hetujeen
Azropolis and an old fort,'upon each
which places siege guns have been
mounted. The reverberation of their
reports in the hills is terrific.
The actual Greek losses so far have
been small in consequence Of
strength of the positions of the Greeks
and the number of their intrench—
ments. but the Turks were much ex-
posed and must have lost heavily. An
artillery caisson blew up in the rear of
the battery in front of me at 6 o'clock,
killing several men.
The women of'the Red Cross society
drove from Domokos to the scene of the
fighting and remained in 'the field
throughout the whole battle.
Austria’s and Russia's Views.
Vienna, May 19. —The semioflicial
‘ Fremdenblatt makes a statement today
which is regarded as outlining the
views of Austria and Russia on the
eastern situation as developed by the
extravagant demands of Turkey, sup—
ported, apparently, by Germany. It
says:
“By selecting Pharsalos as the place
to discuss the peace negotiations the
Turkish government appears to be de-
sirous of eluding the intervention of
the powers. In fact, the Turkish gov-
ernment is under a misapprehension as
to the situation. The integrity» of Tur-
key, upon which Europe has laid stress
and which Austria and Russia in the
plainest terms have declared to be the
basis of their policy, is far from mean-
ing that Turkey can act in the Balkan
peninsula as she pleases and without
regard for the powers. If Turkey feels
the need of the intervention of the pow-
ers on behalf of her own integrity, she
cannot escape the other kind of inter-
vention which aims at preventing her
from deriving an extravagant advan-
tage from her victories.
“The Turkish conditions of peace are
immeasurably exaggera/ted. Europe
cannot assent to the retrocession of
Thessaly, nor can it be brought about
by a continuance of the war which the
victories of Turkey have rendered pur-
poseless. .
“Further, the excessive amount of
indemnity cannot but arouse the oppo-
sition of the powers, as it is far be-
yond the capacity of Greece to pay.
Again, by the abolition of the capitula-
tions a precedent would be created
which the powers could not accept.
Turkey would do better to seek advan-
tage from her victories in an enlarged
capacity Of action, in internal reorgan-
ization and in ending the disintegrating
misgovernment. In short, the inter—
vention of Europe in behalf of the in-
tegrity of Turkey means neither the re-
versal Of everything in the Balkans nor
the continuance of the Old, evil condi-
tions which prevail in 'Rirkey.”
llIayor Gleason llIust Appear.
New York, May 19.—The assault
charge against Mayor Gleason came
up before Police Justice Ingraham in
Long Island City and was adjourned
