expenses of the war with Greece are

stallments, guaranteed by the Thessa-
liam revenues.

TURKEY MAY IGNORE MEDIATION.
LONDON, May ia dispatch to the
Standard" from Constantinople says
it is reported that orders have been sent
out for the mobilization of the fifth and
sixth army corps reserves, stationed at
Bagdad and in Syria, and for the imme-
date dispatch of fifty battalions to Kon-
len, from which point they will be taken
to 1smeed, in Asia Minor. These prep
arations, which involve an expense that
Turkey is quite unable to bear, cannot
be required against Greece, and they eX-
cite anxiety, as indicating that Turkey
is preparing either to confront a more
formidable foe, or to place herself in
such a strong position that she will be
able to ignore the Powers and their plan
of mediation.
Three staff officers have been sent to
Ezeroum and Erzing to report whether
there is a sufficient supply of arms and
equipments to mobilize the reserves OF
that corps.
Six officers of the Turkish troops sta
toned at Janina, together with the cam
mandants at Louros, Phillipidia and
other stations, have arrived here in
chains. They will be tried for neglect
of duty in the face of the enemy.
TURKISH OUTRAGES.
LONDON, May 1.-THE Athens cor
respondent of the Daily Chronicle
says:
M Ralli, the Premier, showed me to-
day dispatches and reports from Colonel
Manos and various civil authorities in
Epirus, stating that fourteen villages
between Toulour and Kastrosykia have
been burned by the Turks, after all the
women and children had been massa
cred except a few who hid in the fast
nesses of Mount Zalongas, 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. The
men fought like lions in defense of the
women who sought refuge in the woods
and caves of Mount Zalongas, and when
chased by the Turks jumped over preci-
pices to avoid capture and dishonor.
ARIA, May lit is reported the
Turks have secured the arms and legs
of all the Greeks found in the villages on
the plains of LOuros, and left the
mutilated bodies by the roadside to ter
rorize the population
