London, May 3.-The Athens CORES.
pondent of the Daily Telegram will say
tomorrow:
/ had an interview today with NJ. Rail-
who told me that the report sent by the
ministers Of war and the interior from
Pharasalos was in most respects highly
satisfactory. He said they had wired
him from Pharsalos that the front line
of the army was in battle array and the
Turkish attack imminent. All prepare
tons possible had been made for heroic
defense and the spirit of the army was
much better than before, owing to the
change in the supreme command.
NJ. Rail- declared that the victory at
Yelestino was the most splendid achieve
ment of the war. the Greeks capturing an
enormous quantity of arms, ammunition
and horses. The Turks, after this crush
ing defeat, M. Rail- believes, are not
likely to re-engage in hostiities in that
quarter. Under all the circumstances
the minister deems it advisable to leave
Gen. Smolenski with his own brigade.

GREEKS RECOVER NERVE.
Their Fighting mt VelestinO Friday
Was valiant.

London, May 3.-The correspondent of
the Daily Telegraph at Velestino says:
In the battle yesterday (Friday), which
continued throughout the day, the Turks
made repeated assaults on the Greek DO
sition at the railway junction. They were
finally driven from the field
The chief feature of the engagement
was brilliant charge of 1900 Circas-
sian cavalry in order to capture field
battery which was supported on each
flank by strong bodies of Greek infantry.
The Circassians nearly reached the guns,
but, swept by a thanking musketry fire,
they were forced to retreat. the battery
Smelling the retreating hOrsemen with
such execution that the wheat fields were
covered with the bodies of men and
beasts.
The Greek troops have entirely recov-
cred their morale and their splendid eff
forts here prove how great an effect able
commanders like Gems. Smolenski and
Janninosta can produce ON disheartened
troops. The Greek losses were chiefly due
to the infantry fire. Very few of the
Turkish shells exploded. The enemy re-
treated out of sight toward Larissa during
the night. An inspection of the battle
field reveals long line of wheat fields
strcwn with corpses. The Turkish at
tempt to outflank the Greek right proved
very disastrous, owing to the murderous
musketry fire which poured down the
slope held by the infantry and Evzounes.
The Turkish cavalry charge on the
Greek left seemed an act of sheer mad
ness, for the horsemen attempted to as
cend long, steep incline in the face of
two strong entertainments of infantry.

Waco, Tex, May 3.-(SpeciaL)-Hon.
Richard Coke, ex-governor and ex-
United States senator, is a very sick
man, and Mrs. Coke also is ill., Their
residence on South Eighth street was
visited today by many anxious friends.
Callers are not permitted to see the SEN
ator; Mrs. Coke receives her intimate
friends. Her condition does not cause
alarm. The senator's condition is re-
garded as critical. He was invited to
speak to the old settlers last Saturday,
but was obliged to decline. owing to the
state of his health. He has rarely ap-
peared on public occasions since he re-
signed as senator, his health having been
uniformly bad during the entire period
since he retired to private life. After
the recent flood of his cotton plantation
below Waco he has given it much of his
attention, and he had been unable to
look after his private business, which is
large, up to last week. The senator was
fortunate in lucrative practice in early
life, and all his investments were Judi
ciously made. His property is large and
it has kept him employed actively for
the intervals since he quit the senate.
He was good host. and his friends. sure
of a friendly welcome, called often Yes

cheerful ut noon, and to the friends and

The New Ministry in Its War Policy.
The Turks Are Assaulting Phar-

ing Pentepigidia.

Athens, May 1, 600 p. m.-The legisla-
tive chamber finally secured a quorum
and held sitting this afternoon, great
crowds surrounding the building. The
public galleries were thronged The min
listers were seated on the government
bench.
NJ. Rail- addressed the house. He said
the first care of the government would be
to reorganize the army; without a reor-
ganization of the military forces it would
be impossible to carry on the war and
conclude honorable peace. Happily the
army, which was worthy of better fate,
maintained its spirit unimpaired. The
country might rely upon it with conf
dence. He beseught the chamber and the
nation to cooperate with the government
Meanwhile the cabinet asked the cham
Der to agree 20 an adjournment.
NJ. Delyannis, who recently retired
from the post of premier, said there was
no need of vote in the chamber regard
ing this subject. There could be no pos
sible objection to an adjournment. In the
name of his party he desired to say that
all of the members of his party would
give their support to the new cabinet as
long as the Turks occupied an inch of
Greek territory. The main subject of
their solcitude was to devise ways and
means to drive the enemy from their coun-
try.
One of the members of the chamber ex-
pressed establishment at the report of the
lack of action upon the part of the Greek
fleet.
NJ. Rail- then confirmed the detailed re-
ports read concerning the Greek victory
at Velstino. In regard to the movements
of the army in Epirus, he said the retreat
had been orderly with the exception of a
part of the infantry, which had been in
fected by panic originating in the in
habitants of the villages.
A motion to adjourn was adopted, gen.
eral assent being given.
NJ. Delyannis approached NJ: Rail- at
the conclusion of the session, the EXPIRE
mier and the new premier shaking hands.
This incident was heartily cheered, the
members of the legislative chamber then
leaving the building.

Athens, May at is said here on good
authority that the powers have made

reply is forthcoming, but an armistice is

Kannikosta will probably succeed him in
command of the Second brigade.

London May 3.-The Times tomorrow
will print the following dispatch from Its
Yolo correspondent, dated 3 p. IN. today
When / arrived at Velestino yesterday
afternoon / had just seen the Turkish in
fantry advancing in two columns, IN
tending TO cut the railway. The Greeks
1000 strong, under Gen. Smolenski, by
whose side 1 watched the encounter in
the rear of the Eighth regiment under
Col. GannikOsta, gradually advanced, one
battalion to hold the railway the other
to support the artillery, which had mount
led guns on the right center. The infantry,
under Col. Reglia. advanced on the left
where two batteries were in possession.
Gen. Smolenski had ordered the Smelling
to begin when the enemy were well with
in range. Consequently the guns did not
open fire before $50 p. III. The Turks
were evidently 400 strong. Their cav
airy reconnoitered the woods where the
Greeks were concealed. but the batteries
remained silent until q o'clock, and that
time the fire fell short of being effective,
though the Greek practice was the best

from the shells, but continued to advance
in good order. Our right was really never
engaged until the railway station was de-
Tended by only a small foe, with two
Krupp guns. Toward the end large
Turkish center was seen to advance IN
the distance, but sunset, at $40, caused
d temporary cessation.

with much civility, but was detained I'M
til late hour.
Having met reinforcements on the way
TO Velestino | went out again today, when
the Greeks brought up nearly the whole
Pbarsalos force. Save in the sharp strug-
giles during the night the Greeks have
been successful in holding their ground. -,
The Turks mounted battery on hill
facing the Greek left, approached the end
of the wood and burned n small village.
Nearly all the fighting today has been on
the extreme right, in the direction OF
Lake Karata and the eastern Nolo road.
Whoever gains this road commands Volo
and could cut off retreat here.
The trains still run to Nelestino the
officials displaying the greatest coolness
and courage. In one case railway Ill
rector is working locomotive.
More decisive fighting is expected to-
morrow (Tucsday). As yet the Greek
losses have not been heavy.

That ired

An exceedingly common and dan (
gerously significant condition.
A warning which must be needed,
or, as with the express train
which fails to regard the dan
ger signal, disaster must follow.
A sure indication of thin, weak, i'm
poyerished blood. A certain ad-
monition that the blood is not
properly feeding the nerves, It's
sues and organs of the body.
An imperative demand for the tonic,
vitalizing effect of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla upon the blood.
Weak, nervous, tired men and wom-
en- are found everywhere. Men
strive too hard to "kecp their
ends up" women too anxicusly
work "on their nerves" to meet
the demands of home and society,
all have too little sleep, and the
excessive drain on strength and
nervous energy will soon COM
pletely ruin health.
The strength must be built up by pure
blood, and the nerves must also
find in pure blood the proper nerve
food. For this purpose nothing
equals Hoods Sarsaparilla.
The thousands of wonderful cures it
has accomplished, the like of
which no other medicine and no
combination of medicines can
show, prove its curative merit !;
prove that it has never been
equalled as a blood medicine !;
prove that Hoods Sarsaparilla is
indeed the ideal spring medicine,
the best nerve and stomach tonic,
the one true blood purifier.

a few days ago, have committed daring
robbery. A mule train. loaded with val

attack on it. The muleteers were dis
armed and securely bound and the ban

A Deputy Killed.

London, May 3.-The Times will print
the following dispatch tomorrow from
Velestino:
During the fight here last week the
Greek losses included Officer and
Deputy Sylitizi. who was killed
1t is rumored that many officers have
told the crown prince, Constantine, that
they will return their swords unless they
are led against the Turks. There is a
strong feeling at Pharsalos that the
troops must advance. Only 1000 soldiers
were actually posted at PharsalOs. The
remainder are distributed in well chosen
positions. Discipline is improving,
though organization is still somewhat de-
fective. The villagers throughout Thes-
sally have practically deserted the
Greeks.

Reports Very Conflicting.

Athens, May 3-Rumors conflict mat
tiers materially as to the diplomatic at
titude of Turkey. According to one re-
mander in Thessaly, has asked for an
armistice of five days. According to an
other, an armistce already exists by
the tacit acquiescence of both command
ers, while n third story described Edhem
Pasha as only awaiting reinforcements
for an attack upon Pharsalos, to be fol-
lowed by an attack on Volo.
1t is also said to be propable that Adj
miral Tamatello is preparing to prevent
n possible attempt Of the Turks to seize
Nolo by the coast roads.

Marshal Edhem Pasha telegraphs that
in fight which took place at one hours
distance from Velestino our troops took
possession of three fortresses and three
intrenchments. Hefzi Pasha, command
er of the Ottoman forces in Epirus, also
announces that the Hellenes who We're

Scared Into Praying.

Lima, Peru, May 1.-Via Galveston
A violent earthquake disturbance, lasting
about one minute, caused great alarm here
at 2 o'clock this morning. All the church
bells were tolled to call the people to
prayer as serious disaster was appre-
hended. The shocks were also felt in the
suburbs of this city. No loss of life or
serious damages resulted.

p London. May 3.-The dispatches today
denote little change in the eastern stu
alton. Intervention is in the air and will
probably take definite form speedily.
There is no doubt the Greeks are about
ready TO confess failure, and the re-
ported sickness Of King George perhaps
foretells his departure from the country.
The representatives, Of the powers at
Athens have held frequent meetings, and
it is believed they are drawing up Il
plan to terminate the war.
