CREEKS DISCONIFEITURE
Narrowly Escaped a Crushing De-

Narrowly Escaped h Crushing De-
feat at Larissa.
London, April 27.-The dispatches of
the special correspondents consist Of
the most part of additional details Of
the Greeks discontinue. The Turk
ish plans are not yet revealed. There
is no doubt now that the crown prince
ordered the bridges to be destroyed
before the Greeks abandoned Larissa,
but damage could not be done beyond
what could easily be repaired by the
Turks. It seems equally certain that
the Greeks only escaped crushing de-
feat with returning daylight by pre-
cipitate fight. The news from Epirus
Is conflicting. It seems certain that
the Turks have occupied Pentepigadia,
and 1t is not improbable that the
Greeks have retreated to Arta, show
ing that the Turks allowed them to
advance to Pentepigadia solely in or
der to destroy the column.

tangling alliances with other political
parties" and she told the committees
that IL mir. Bryan's party" could be in

free TO support IL. and that she would
vote against any proposal TO bind her

committee considered her words trea-
sonable enough TO warrant her eXpul.
sion from the councils of the party.
During the debate Mrs. Cougar said
that the temperance question was no
longer the paramount issue, and that II
she had had vote In November she
was not sure that she would not have
supported Mr.. Bryan. The fight lasted
for more than three hours, and when
