TURKS OCCUPY PHARSALOS
THE GREEKS SUFFER- ANOTHER
DEFEAT AND ARE FORCED
TO RETREAT.
Retreat WAS MADE IN GOOD ORDER
Edhem Pasha Will Follow Up His
VictOry-SmOlenslxr Army Is in
Critical POsitiOn-Rumors
of Turkish Butcherfes.

Larissa, May GA dispatch from Phar.
salos, dated IL a. m. today, described the
battle there which began yesterday:
"A Turkish corps first appeared on the
summit of Mount Tekle yesterday morn
ing. From a formidable entrenched posi-
ton on the hill side they attacked the
fourth regiment of Evzounes about noon.
The latter made strong resistance, but
were finally compelled to fall slowly back.
The Turks then cannonaded and DESTROYED
the village of OrdskOni, which is about
two hours march north of Pharsalos. The
crown prince, having ordered the entire
army to draw up in line Of battle, the
Greeks advanced about 2 y. m. The
Turks, numbering 10000, Immediately de-
scended the slopes of Mount Tekke and
planted batteries which began to bonn
bard the Greek regiments. Owing to su-
periority of weights the Turks cannon
inflicted heavy losses upon the Greeks,
especially near the station. The Turks
continued to advance until they came to
close quarters, and then the crown prince
decided to retire to more commanding po-
sitions. All the ammunition and supplies
have been transported to Domokos, on
the heights of which the Greek batter
les are prepared for action. The Turks
have burned the village of Tatari and
have massacred a priest and the entire
family in the village of Dioskani.

WILL FOLLOW UP HIS VICTORY.

Edhem Pasha VIII Pursue the Re-
treating Greeks-SmOlensIxi's
Critical Condition.
London, May 6.-Evidently it was
Edhem Pasha's ability to cut in between
the two Greek armies which led to the
speedy retreats that are the beginning of
both retreats were orderly. but such
news comes only from official sources in
Athens, which are VIGOROUSLY unreliable.
1t is just possible that so far from being
orderly, they may have both ended in a
panic, as was the case at Larissa. Edhem
Pasha will almost certainly follow to pre-
vent Gen. Smolenski from rejoining the
main army. In any event Gen. Smo-
lenski is now cut off from all chances
of embarking ON the Greek vessels at
Volo. He must either surrender to the
Turks or endeavor to reach LAMA by
the difficult mountain paths, so that
everything now indicates that Greece
will be compelled to sue for peace in or
der to save the remnant of her army
from destruction.
The absence of Greek cavalry at Phar-
salos left the Greeks in complete igno-
and it is another illustration of the gen
eral incompetency of the Greek staff.
Gen. Smolenski has admitted himself that
long habits of guerilla warfare have
made the Greek army helpless against
modern military warfare. 1t is now be-
lieved that the end would come much
sooner but for the difficulty the Turks
have experienced in bringing adequate
supplies of ammunition for magazine
rifles and modern artillery over the noun
tain passes.

. EPISCOPAL CONVOCATION.
The Western Teaxs Conference n
Snn Antonio.

San Antonio, Tex, May 6.-(Special)-
The Episcopal convocation of western
Texas continued its session today. The
proceedings were opened at 10 o'clock in
the morning with prayer by Bishop
johnson. The, most notable feature of
the days proceedings was the stand
taken by the convocation of the subject
of UNCONVENTIONAL taxation. A special
committee ON taxation, appointed at the
last session, could not agree on the
matter and brought in majority report
today in favor of the ad valorem system,
while strong minority stood for a per.
capita tax. After a lengthy discussion,
participated in by nearly all the members
of the clergy as well as the laymen, the
ad valorem system of taxation was
adopted by decisive vote. The rest of
the day was devoted to receiving the
reports of the various committees, all of
which showed a most fourishing growth
in the denomination in this section.
Mr.. w. o. Hutchinson was unanimous
ly elected treasurer of the convocation.
At night Rev. DR.. Garden of Goliad read

of Faith"
Fraternal greetings were telegraphed

A SURE ENOUGH AIRsHIp.
A Practical Demonstration Given ats
the Nashville Exposition.

Nashville, Muy G.-Today at the Ten
nessee exposition, Professor Arthur Bsr-
nard, physical instructor of the Young
Mems Christian association of Nashville,
began journey in an airship construct
ed by himself. Professor Barnard prom
Used to sail against the wind after arising
into the air, and he did so. The airship
will be continued in use at the exposi-
ton. Professor Barnard said he would
land at the starting point tonight. The
ship is 46 feet long and 20 feet in diane
ter.
Later-Mr. Barnard, who returned with
his airship tonight, says that he has per-
fected machine that will fly under. ordi--
nary conditions. He said tonight that 1t
was not perfect, nor could 1t be perfectly
controlled, but he believed that he could
perfect it SO that its course could be con-
trolled. After disappearing from view
this morning, the ship circled around, the
navigator hoping to meet with favora--
BILE current. At last the ship began, to-
sail to the west, and Mr.. Barnard says.

west of the city. then turned. and when

then sought safe place to descend and
came down easily. While aloft a sudden.

No other damage was suffered. The en-
tire time he was aloft was one and one
half hours. He was returning along the
line of the outward fight when he was

Before the Fall of Pharsalos.

Headquarters of the Greek Army in
Thessaly-Pmrsalos. May 5.-Delayed
in transmission. THE Greeks claim a
decisive victory in the fighting which has
taken place here and at Velestino today.
1t is estimated that 1000 Turks We're
killed at Velestino. The enemy also
abandoned large number of guns.
Preparations are being made with the
utmost activity for the decisive battle,
which seems inevitable tomorrow.
The Greeks occupy strong, well en-
trenched positions on high ground and are
acting entirely on the defensive. The
Greeks have no cavalry worth mentioning
and are very weak in artillery, but what
guns they have are well served. The
Greek infantry may be expected to do
fairly well while occupying good de-
fensive positions. In the field or on the
open plain it is not to be expected that
they will be match for the Turks. Sup
plies of all kinds in the Greek campaign
are at a premium.
Edhem Pasha, the Turkish commander,
may safely be reckOned upon to be carry
ing out well conceived and carefully fol-
lowed out plan of campaign. His main
forces are divided into four divisions, and
these divisions are arrayed in semi
circle around Pharsalos, which is backed
by high hills. The extreme right of the
Turkish commander is southwest and
south of the railway line at Bazaraki
while three brigades are threatening Vel
estino and Volo. From indications it
appears that Edhem Pasha's plan is to
turn both the Greek TANKS, and thus
practically surround them.
The bravery displayed by Crown Prince
Constantine and his brother, Prince
Nicholas, yesterday, has had good eff
feet on the troops; but there is consider
able resentment felt among the Greeks
against the officers in general.

Speaks Highly of the Turks.

., Berlin, May can interview with
Grumbkoff Pasha. the German officer
who recognized the Turkish artillery and
who entered Larissa at the head of the
Turkish troops, is published here.
Grumbkoff Pasha dwells upon the
splendid conduct of the Turks and says
the capture of Larissa did not cost them
a single man. Continuing. Grumbkoff
Pasha says the work constructed by the
Greek engineers of Larissa is deserving
of all praise, and that he fails to under
stand why they were abandoned. The
Turkish army in the field, he further re
Marked is one of the finest Turkey ever
possessed, and that no praise is too great
for both soldiers and officers.
Grumbkoff Pasha gives many instances
of the self-sacrifice and enthusiasm ami
mating the Turkish troops.
In regard to the Greeks, the general as
serts that both officers and men were
seized with panic and that great num-
bers of Greeks, in tie face of the enemy,
stripped themselves of their uniforms,
donned civilian clothing and beseeched
the Turks to spare their lives.
The Turks treated all their prisoners
and wounded with the greatest care.

NEWS FROM ATHENS.
RumOrs of MediatiOn-The Greeks
Reiterated Orderly.

Reiterated Orderly.
Athens, May 6.-Austria and Germany
have joined the other powers in propos-
ing mediation between Greece and Tur-
key.
A collective note will be handed to the
Greek and Turkish governments this
(Thursday) evening, or tomorrow, calling
upon them to cease hOstilities on the dis
tinct assurances that the powers will take
the final of pending difficulties.
Gen. Smolenski is retreating slowly and
in orderly fashion to Volo.
The forces under Prince Constantine
reached Domokos unmolested and have
not been attacked today. 1t appears the
great massing of Turkish troops and their
movement led to a suspicion that an at
tempt was being projected to surround
Pharsalos.
A council of war was held in the Greek
camp and it was decided to retire to Do
mokos. which was reached this morning
at daylight. The Greeks promptly Occu-
pied strong positions on the mountain
range.
The Greeks buried their dead and con-
veyed eighty-fve wounded, including five
officers, to LAMA.
Gen. Smolenski wired to Athens for in
structions and the government advised
MIN 10 TeCredI.
He remained at Velestlno all night and
was attacked by the Turks at 6 the next
morning. Hard fighting continued till
late in the afternoon, when the fire ceased
and Gen. Smolenski retired to Almyros
where he took up new positions.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, whose
schooner was detained by the Greek fleet
on the assumption that papers found on
board after his interviews with the Turks
were of a compromising character, ar,
rived tonight. He was met at the, Piraeus
by NJ. Rail-, the premier, who conducted
him to the British legation and requested
Mr.. Edgerton, the British minister, not
to allow him to leave the legation before
quitting Athens, in order to prevent a
demonstration.
1t has been decided to send Col Nassos
to Thessaly and Col. Stratos with new
general staff will replace Col. Manos in
Epirus. Maj. Constantinides will be sent
to Domokos.
The transport vessels have been sent
TO Volo to remove the few remaining in.
habitants. The ammunition, stores and
food supplies have already been taken to
Stylis.
1t is rumored the few wounded Greek
soldiers who were left at Pharsalos have
been bntchered by the Turks.

Murray Daniels colored, was Instantly
killed this morning after firing at j. D.
McCutchan one time. 1t seems trouble
was caused by Daniels stepdaughter, who
was in the habit of running against little
girls on the sidewalk. She ran against a
relative of Mr.. McCutchan's a short time
ago and was warned on pain of punish
ment not to do SO again. Mr.. McCutchan
says she struck his little boy, 3 years old,

whipped her with switch. This morn
ing Daniels accosted Mr. McCutchan
roughly, asking why he abused his step
daughter, and slipping. a pistol out, syly
shot at McCutchan, who returned the
fire. Daniels received four A balls, one
in the front and the other three in the
back. Daniels pistol was found where
he fell, with freshly emptied chamber

WEDNESDAYS BATTLE.
1t Ragged Fast and FuriOus-The
Turks Shouted "AlIah."

ShSutCu
London, May 6.-The Daily Nails
correspondent with the Turkish forces
at Pharsalos, telegraphing yesterday
morning. says:
YESTERDAYS wednesdays battle was
the most decisive of the entire war. 1t
was not intended at the beginning of the
fight that it should be regular pitched
engagement, but on the arrival of Ed
hem Pasha at the outposts furious
firing began.
'The weather was cool and the sky
somewhat cloudy after thunder storm.
The village of Pharsalos could be seen
hudded, as it were. under line of low
peaked hills. Higher and round about
were black hills, rising behind the others,
while between us and the village ran
the small stream known to the anclents
as the RaiaDus, crossed by railway
bridge.
Between the stream and the village
were the Greeks on position well de-
Tended by earth works. Their advance
line consisted of two brigades and their
reserve of two half brigades. althogether
about 10000.
"As against these there was about 50,-
600 Turks.
1.-THE artillery began the engagement,
the Greek practice 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 enclosed between the river and the
mountains with no room to deploy.
"The sight was superb. In many cases
the Greeks fought with the courage of
desperation. The great black masses,
forming the rear guard to hold the
bridge, covered the whole rich. green
plain. The endurance and dash of the
Turks was manificent, too. l reached
the battlefield with a regiment whose
men Immediately began to run forward,
dancin~ under fire and shouting like chill
dren when they saw the enemy. The
Greeks repulsed them vigorously.
1.-THE Turks had formed in a semi-cir-
Gle of laundering batteries and cracking
battalions. The division on the extreme
right tried to cut off the retreat to Ro-
mOkos until the remainder of the force
flung itself upon Pharsalos.
1.-The battle was but little like the bat
ties described in books. There was no
firing of volleys, no bayonet assault. no
rush, no charge. but only steady. leis-
urely advance into the open in perfect
order. There was some individual firing
and the soldiers shouted Allah. Allah
till the constant repetition swelled into
one heavy montonous shout. l saw

Miners strilse spreading.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 5.-The
miners strike in eastern Tennessee and
southern Kentucky has grown consider
miners at numerous stations besides those
mentioned have gone out, and 1t is .esti-
mated that nearly $500 men are involved.
At Coal Creek. where fatal fighting oc-
cured n few years ago, serious trouble
Is brewing. The men at the Black
Diamond mine. one of the largest In
the Coal Creek section. will probably
strike tomorrow Thirty-five men at
this mine have been discharged, 1t Is
claimed, for ncendiary talk. A meeting
of miners and operators will be held at
Jelico on Monday next to discuss the
situation, as
