MAssACRED BY TURKS.
Fourteen villages Burned and Their
Inhabitants Put TO Death.

LONDON, May 1.-THE Athens cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle
says: m. Rail-, the premier, showed
me to-day dispatches and reports
from Colonel Manos and various
authorities in EDirus stating that
fourteen villages between Toulnur and Kas-
trosykia have been burned by the Turks
after all the women and children had been
massacred except few who hid in the
fastness of Mount Zalongos, famous dur
ing the war of independence, and few
more who concealed themselves in the
marshes along the shore and managed
finally to get aboard the Greek ships, half
dead with hunger and fear Not stone
of the village of Kamarina is left standing.
The men fought like lions in defense OF
the women who sought refuge in the woods
and caves of Mount Zalongos and when
chased by the Turks jumped from preci-
pices to avoid capture and dishonor."
1t is reported that the Turks have severed
the arms and legs of all the Greeks found
in the village on the plain of Lcusos, and
left the mutilated bodies by the roadside to
terrorize the population.

judgment the revenue from sugar under tle
house sugar schedule Setting aside the
question of abrogating the HaWfllah
treaty) would be larger than under Inc
Senate amendments.
The proposed temporary duty on tea
would increase the revenue, although not
so much the first year as estimated De-
cause of the large stocks on hand and the
snort stocks that would be maintained with
the knowledge that tea would soon go back
10 the free list, and the proposed increase
or internal revenue taxes would also in
crease the revenue to the extent estimated;
But the other proposed amendments would
as a whole diminish rather than increase
the revenue
Some criticism has been on the esti-
mates of the ways and means committee
as TO the revenue that would be produced
by the tariff bill as it passed the House.
These criticisms overlook the fact that the
ways and means committee estimates or
the revenue that might be expected the frSt
year were based on the assumption that
the bill should become a law on or before
May l. The committee in its report eX-
pressy said that while there could be no
question that the House bill would in any
event yield sufficient revenue to carry on
the government and leave a surplus the
second year of its operation-which nobody
even now contradicts-and probably sufh-
cient for the first year if it could be
promptly put in force, yet if there would
be delay in its enactment beyond May
1 anticipatory inportations would newt
tive revenue for the first year. Here is
what the committee said on this point:
What the actual revenue would prove to
be in the year following the enactment of
the proposed measure into law is, of
course dependent upon contingencies
which cannot be forecasted with any ap-
proach to certainty and will therefore be
subject to varying estimates. Undoubtedly
the contingency which would exert the
largest influence in diminishing the esti-
mated revenue would be delay in the pas
sage of the proposed bill in consequence of
which there would be large importations
of such articles as wool, wooden goods
sugar. etc, on which it is proposed to in
crease the duty.
IF the ways and means committee had
supposed when it made this statement
March Is that the bill would be delayed
as long as now seems probable, it would
have said that such delay would inevitably
result in largely multiplying the revenue
qualities of that bill the first year, through
importatOns of wool, sugar ailS other ar
ticles before the new duties should go into
force, unless such retroactive provision as
was placed in the bill by the House could
be maintained. The anticipatory mporta-
tions of such articles already arrived and
on their way exceed the fears of the ways
and means committee when they urged
prompt action by the House to prevent
such a loss of revenue for the first year

The Rnttle Hefore Pharsala.

London, May THE Daily Nails cor
respondent with the Turkish forces at
Pharsala. says:
wednesdays battle was most sub
lime as a spectacle and the most de-
cisive of the entire war. 1t was not in
tended at the beginning that the fight
should be a regular pitched engage
ment, but on the arrival of Edhem Pa
sha at the outposts a furious firing be-
gan.
THE weather was cool and the sky
somewhat cloudy after a thunder
storm. The village of Pharsala could
be seen huddled, as it We're. under
line of low peaked hills. Higher and
round about were black hills, rising be-
hind the others. while between us and
the village ran the small stream known
10 the ancients as the Raipeus, crossed
by a bridge at the railway station.
Between the stream and the village
were the Greeks, in an excellent posi-
tion, we'll defended by earthworks.
Their advance line consisted of two
brigades and their reserve Of two half
brigades. altogether about 10000 men.
AS against these were $4,000 Turks.
The artillery began the engage
ment. the Greek parctice being much
better than usual, but after about two
hours they began TO retire across the
river. This was a great mistake, as
they were thus inclosed between the
river and the mountains, with no room
to deploy.
"The sight was superb. In many
places the Greeks fought with the cour-
age of despair. The great black
masses, forming the rear guard TO hold
the bridge. covered the whole rich,
green plain. And the endurance and
dash of the Turks was magnificent too.
j reached the battlefield with a regi-
ment whose men Immediately began to
run forward, dancing under fire and
shouting like children when they saw
the enemy The Greeks repulsed them
vigorously and followed up the repulse
"The Turks had formed in semicir-
Gle of laundering batteries and crac-
king battalions. The division on the ex-
treme left tried TO cut OF the retreat tr
Domokos, while the remainder of this
force flung itself upon Pharsala
The battle was but little like this

no firing of volleys. no bayonet assault
no rush. no cheering, but only a steady
