The opposition deputies have issued the
following address:
Fellow Citizens: In the critical period
through which the country is passing. the
summoning of the chamber is necessary,
it to be it's duty to address to all citi-
zens recommendations and request to
do all in their power to contribute to the
maintenance of order, which is indispens-
able, not only for the safety of all, but
because it constitutes an indispensable
element for safeguarding the peace and
reputation of the nation. Let us not for
get the enemy is treading the soil of our
country and our army is confronting it.
At such moments any one attempting 10
disturb order would be an ally of the
Turks"
This address is signed by all the oppo-
sition deputies now in Athens. Special
trains have been placed at the disposal
of provincial deputies in order to enable
them to take part in the extraordinary
session of the legislative assembly. The

telegraphed for the French warship La
Touche Tovelle to enter the Piraeus.
Merchants on Hermes street have organ

stores and patrols have been placed in
the streets near the boulevard. Better
feeling prevails, and there is little prob
ability now of a dynastic crisis.

London, April pa dispatch to the
Daily Mail from PaIras. says:
The Greeks have suffered their first
great reverse in Epirus, and the situation
has changed with startling suddenness.
When 1 last telegraphed the Turks were
in full and disorderly retreat toward ia
nina, and the Greeks were joyously adj
vancing. For some unaccountable reason
the absurdy inadequate force of only
1000 men was detached from Phillipiada
to seize Pentepigidia.
On entering Pentepigidia some irregu-
lars by mistake fired upon the Greeks.
During the confusion which followed 5000
Turkish infantry arrived from Janina ana
instantly attacked the Greeks. A des-
perate and bloody hand to hand encoun-
ter ensued. The Turks uttered demoni-
acal yells and showed the greatest feroc-
ity, while the Greeks, who had been with
out food all night long, and were hope
lessly outnumbered, were taken at a con-
siderable disadvantage. An hour after
the fight began the companies of Turks
occupied a hill on the Greek flank and
opened a deadly fire. The Greeks broke
in confusion and fled in panic.

first stone at the Craven deeds by show

attorneys for the executors to unmask
their batteries in direct attack. The tes-

many witnesses. 1t has long been limited
by the plaintiffs that the first intended

a point blank refusal from the young

DECISION OF THE GRECIAN MINIS
TRY POINTS THAT WAY.
Many Tried Officers Have Been Re
called From Crete to lie Sent
to Thessnly.

London, May 4.-The latest points of in
terest in the situation are:
First that the decision of the minister's
who have returned from the Greek from
tier, seems to be in favor of continu-
ance of the war; and, second. that fight
ing continued almost necessarily at We
lastino from last Thursday until Sunday,
with the result that General Smolenski
has been prevented from actually assum-
ing his new duties as chief of staff. AS
a further result the Greeks at Velastino
have managed to retain their positions,
but they are too much fatigued to follow
up their success.
Although IA officers have been recalled
from Crete to be sent on to Thessaly,
and this also is a proof of the intention
of the new cabinet to continue the war.
The diplomatic situation continues OBJ
scure with a constant interchange Of dis
