GLOOMY At ATHENS
The Fall Of Larissa a Severe Blow
to The Patriotic HelleneS.
PROSPECTS NOT INVITING
In Constantinople There Is Much
Rejoicing Over the Turkish vlo-
tory-Ihe Powers May Inter-
fere to Stop the Fight.

Athens, April 25.-lt is useless To deny
that very gloomy outlook OF the war
prospects is taken here by the better
Informed. There are, however, no signs
OF panic. The city exhibits an attitude
of dignified endurance while many per-
sons still show an unabated enthusiasm
for fight. This symptom is particularly
noticeable among the wounded now in
Athens. Their one desire seems 10 he
healed In order that they may rejoin
the colors. Naturally this spirit is
much fostered by the confirmation of
the reports that the Turks have burned
the Greek wounded in church at
Kurtzivoli. The, Turks lighted fires
under the bodies of wounded beasts.
Many of the Greek wounded implored
their comrades to kill them, others
committed suicide. Although IL Is said
that the Greeks carried of all their
guns from Tyrnavo and Larissa. and
also destroyed provisions at both places,
they could not transport the guns at
Pharsala. 1t is reluctantly believed by
some In Athenian circles that the re-
treat was somewhat disorderly, and
that some of the guns were abandoned
with but feeble defense. IL seems
probable, however. that in the main,
the retreat was i'm good order.
This morning the word goes forth
here that the government will persevere
In the struggle with greater determina-
ton. The report. however, has not
served to allay the growing irritation
at the belief that even II Greece could
not hold her own. the non-offensive pol
icy manifested in The order of the
crown prince not to attack was idiotic
and un-Grecian. The retreat to Phar-
sala Is considered poor response To
the fiery spirits of Crown Prince Con-
stantne in a speech TO his troops.
Naturally. all sorts of reasons are ad
vanced to explain the Greek retreat. the
more candid admitting that the Turks
were too strong. II Is also pointed out
that the Turkish cavalry did much to
turn the scale in favor Of Edhem
Pasha. The Greek fleet is also the sub
ject Of many curious reports. one Of
which asserts that the Eastern squad
ron has boinbarded Dedegach. IL Is
known that the Turks yesterday or
dered that all lanterns in the light
houses on the Gulf of Saloncia should
remain unlighted.
Five ironclads and four torpedo boats
are operating along the coast between
Platamona and katerina. The British
and French subjects residing at Volo
have addressed their respective ENJOYS
here. begging for the dispatch of war
ships to Volo to protect them. The en-
voys have wired to their governments
and to the admirals at Canea. but AT
Athens IL is considered unnecessary Ia
comply with the request as an attack
upon Nolo is no part Of the Turkish
programme.

Joy In the liarenn,

Constantinople. April 25.-The tri-
umph of the Turkish army has caused
the liveliest satisfaction here The fol-
lowing telegram from Edhem Pasha is
posted everywhere: "Larissa was oc-
cupied to-day by the cavalry of the i'm
perial army. The Hellenic troops fed
in disorder, abandoning large guam
tity of arms and ammunition. The hill
of Lesdami. the most important domi-
nant point to the north of I.arissa, was
taken by the Ottoman troops on FRI
day. Hamid Pasha's division. having
left Koskosi. effected a junction with
the other imperial troops at Millorin.
The town of Tyrnavo, which is situated
two hours from L.arissa, was occupied
to-day by the Elassona army corps.
The Ottoman troops continue 10 ad-
vance toward the plain of I.arissa."
A dispatch from Smyrna says that
the Redifs who We're called out yes
terday, are intended for the towns of
Smyrna. Nurta and Scalanova. in order
to prevent disturbances by the Greek
residents there.
A meeting of the council Of ministers
ON Saturday considered the expulsion
OF Hellenic subjects from Turkey.
Marked irritation is displayed In ofii-
cial circles at the intervention of the
is feared that some trouble might arise
from the ships OF the powers sent to
protect foreigners at Salonica. The
consuls at Janina telegraphed tn the
foreign am mbasasdors here last Friday
that the Albanian battalions had
mutinied and were refusing 10 march as
well as threatening TO attack the town.
The Mussulman population. according
to these advices. has quilted Janina en-
masse, some fleeing into the country
and others taking refuge In the fortress.
The consuls described their own posi-
tion and that Of the Christian element
at Janina as critical. the vail having
refused to distribute arms and ammu-
milton to enable the inhabitants to de-
fend Janina against the Albanians. The
ENJOYS Immediately called the atten-
tion Of Tewfik Pasha to the matter
and demanded the adoption of effective
measures to protect the inhabitants.
These representations have been re-
newed again to-day to the porte.
