.s@:sa ss::. Ralli's Policy. &C. ls Z
London, April BON. Ralli's policy
may, be described as honorable peace,
secured through war. Reports as to
the prospects of the intervention OF
the powers are very conflicting, while
the news from the seat of war is very
indecisive. It appears that the Turks
are preparing simultaneously to attack
the Greeks at Pharsaios from the east
and the west. Already there are ru-
mors that the Greeks find their po-
sition untenable and are preparing to
fall back on Thermopy'ae.
y Talk of Intervention.
:. London, April 30.-All the talk now,
says the Daily Nails Berlin correspond
ent, is of. the intervention of the
powers. Even Germany wishes to save
Greece from the consequence of defeat,
nd it is stated in Berlin official circles
that the powers will intervene of their
own initiative if Greece does not invite
them. According to dispatch from
Constantinople to the Lokal ,Anzeiger
the sultan will accept the following con
ditions as the. basis for peace:
The withdrawal of the. Greek troops
from Crete and the establishment Of
the frontier of 1881, Greece to be ex-
cluled from all advantages of capitu1a-
tons and to pay indemnity. =
A Great Battle.
Athens, May IA telegram just re-
ceived here says great battle has been
fought at$Velestino between Turkish
force of 5000 and Gen: Smolenski's bri-
gade. The dispatch states that the
Turks were repulsed with enormous
losses. Smolenski has asked the crown
prince to congratulate the troops.
Turkish Victories Reported. :.
Athens, May There is no news
from Arta, but it is rumored that the
Greek forces which have been operat-
ing in Epirus against the Turks are re-
treating. IL
The report of the retreat in Epirus is
confirmed. The Greeks are abandoning
all positions they had occupied except
Salagora. Phillipidda is: among the
places evacuated. y. LIE. & ) .szs,s-
Powers Will Not Intervene.
London, May lit is semiothcially
stated that there is reason to believe
that European Intervention between
Turkey and Greece in the present posi-
ton of affairs IS regarded as wholly i'm
practicable, both Greece and Turkey
having resolved to continue the war.
The powers are thus obliged to stand
aside until one of the combatants is
finally defeated. = 7*.tss.:5 ,, = - =

Athens, May 3.-The presence of Min
lister of War Tsamavos and Minister of
the Interior Teotoki al Pharsalos is con-
sidered very signifcant. They are in
vestigating the condition of the Greek
army, and on; their report depends
whether the new government will con-
tinue the war to the end or accept the
mediation Of the powers. E
NJ. Rail-, the new prime minister, has
announced his intention of calling to
arms every able-bodied man in Greece.
At the session of the legislative cham
Der Saturday NJ. Ralli addressed the
house. He said the first care of the
government would be to reorganize the
army. Without.a reorganization of the
military forces it would be impossible
to carry on the war and conclude an
honorable peace. Happily the army,
which was worthy of a better fate,
maintained it's spirit unimpaired.r The
country might rely upon lsttzwith con-
tfdence. He besought the, legislative
chamber and the nation to cooperate
with the government. -.

spondent of the Daily Mail learns that

mands. :,$5%$#..% 81 q s
