On the extreme right Is the cavalry brigade, composed of five squadrons. The plan of the Greek commander is evidently not to press the attack until endorsements ar- rive from Athens.
 The Turks have no less than 5000 in- fantTy, three squadrors of cavalry and tweuty-two guns.

ANOTHER CONVINCE NIT.
Of Greek Volunteers Leave for the Fath- erland to Fight for Christianity.

Birmingham has again contributed of her people to the army now figh.ing for Christianity in. eastern Europe.
 Last right eight Greeks, all able-bodied young men, left over the Louisville and Nashville for New Yotk, there to embark for the Fatherland in response to the call from King George, of Greece, for re- cruits. They are: Louis Johnston, George Costello, Sam Papagi orge, Tom Kilavos, Antonio Purris, John Jobelos, P. Diam- amkakos ard K, Jemboukos. They were escorted to the depet by their older com rades, and while all outwardly were in great spirh.s, a Feeling of sadness per mated the whole crowd. as among them were relatives and bosom frienda, who were about to be separated, possibly for ever t'-
 l This feeling, however, was kept down. as but one thing was apparent on the surfac: "God, Chrlstia nifty and the Faith erlars1.a This seemed to be their watch word, and all of the volunteers were only too willing to shed their life blood, if nsc- es.arY.. in defense of their native land.
 The dispatches a few days ago which brought the unwelcome news that Lar issa had ia Hen threw a damper oyer their ardoui, yet there were some who thought the evacuation but ruse on the part of the Greeks to dsaW ihe Turks from their mountain fastness in order to meet them on the plains. The Greeks of Bir- rningharn are as a whole lawab.ding cit izsns, and they have the sympathy of the entire community ard it tis doubtful if there is man, woman or child in the city but wishes and prays for Greek success.

COWARDICE AMONG GREEKS
CAUSED THEM THE LOSS OF LARlsSA

; London, April 26.--The Ath@ ns corre- spondent Of the Times confirms the report of the appointment of Gen. Smoleni;h as chief of the s aff of the G. eek army in Thessally, and aGls
 Co.'s. Staki-s and Limbris and Maj. Conztantinidis have been recalled from Crete to serve on '.he staff of the crown prince. Tine ministerial Palagensia an- nounces that all the officers of Constan- tines s.aff have besn recalled.
 A telegram received here today (April 26) states that ttle Turks are within an hours march of Volo The Greek troops are being withdrawn from the town and are taking the wounded from the hos pitals. Among the arrivals from VoLo is ex4Minister Ralli, leader of the largest opposition group in the boule. He has been at the scene of war, and was at Lar issa last Friday evening. He has pup- Eshed his vi;w.l in the Athens neWspa- pers and has already succeeded m con cen rating upon, himself the attention or fine public. Some believe he is preparing to play the role of Greek Gambetti. In an interview with me today M. RalH un- sparingly denounced COnStantine's stan, which he holds responsible for all that has happened. He denies that there was any real battle at Matt, says the Greek troops were never defeated at that point and attriblr. ed the sudden decision to abandon Tyrnavo and La.dssa to the cow ardice and incapacity of the generals staff
 Whatever may be the value of M. Ralli's Strictures, they seem to be echoed by the multi ude. The Greek populace in many respects resembles the French and the old cry, Nous sommes Truhis, is being raised. It is new the fashion to derounce persons in high places, and newspapers which only the other day were eulogizing King George and M. Del- yannis for having placed themselves at fhe head of a national crusade, are now denoupcing the cons ttuted authorities.
 Some are openly attacking the crown prince Others go so far as to announce that he has been recalled, the wish ap- parently being father. to the thought. Journals which formely made war are now irving to make revolution. What ever may be the result of the present storm of obriquy it is difficult to foresee.
