CONSTANTINOPLE,A April II, 1S97.-The
Turkish Government informed the repre-

Saturday last that in consequence of the
Greek invasion of Macedonia, Edhem
Pasha, the Turkish Commander-in-Ch Chief,
was marching on the Greek headquarters
at Larissa. But according to authentic
information obtained today, the Turkish
army has not yet started. Therefore, it
is supposed that at the last moment Ed
hem Pasha's orders to advance into
Greece were countermanded. Neverthe-
less the Turkish Government still seems
to have the intention of attempting TO
sleze and hold Larissa until the Greeks
nave evacuated the Island of Crete
1t is pointed out that Krania, the town
in Macedonia which is believed to be in
the hands of the Greek insurgents, and
the scene of the present invasion, is an
important strategic position, threatening
