Turkish Commander Tells About the
ROut MT Larissn.
ATHENS, April 26.-The correspondent of
the Associated press has just received from
colleague who is with the Turkish army
near Tyrnavo, the substance of an interview
which the latter had with Edhem Pasha, in
confirmation of the report of the panlcky re-
treat Of the Greeks.
E6hem Pasha laughingly said: 81 am
really grateful to the Greek commander fn-
giving me these agreeable quarters The
Greek retreat was a general rout. They
left everything behind including immense
quantities of artillery and munitions of war
which we will be able to make use or If
they had not heard the Albanians singing on
their night march, he would have been upon
them in an hour
The panic appears to have spread to
the very center of the Greek camp When
daylight appeared not a Greek was visible
The Greek position on Mount Shabana, com
manding the mouth of the pass. alone was
defended, but the resistance there was feeble
as the occupants already knew that the army
had fled. About 100 prisoners were taken
by the Turks.
The Associated press correspondent saw a
Greek taken. trembling and scarcely able to
stand, before a Turkish officer. whom he
begged not to kill him. The officer replied ::
I'VE do not kill prisoners of war"
To which the Greek answered: "Our sol
diers believe that the Turhs cut their prs
oners to pieces"
When assured that his life was perfectly
safe. he thanked the officer with pitifuI
enusiveness. The latter gave him coffee
and cigarettes and sent him to get food

<NG GIVES MINISTERS CARTE BLANCHE

LONDON, April 2G.-The most serious fea-
ture in the Greco Turkish emergency is the
revolutionary feeling displayed at Athens.
Ex-Minister Ralli, leader of the principal
opposition group in the legislative assembly,
threatened that unless the military staff
was changed he would issue proclamation
to the people His statements acted like
oil upon fire, and the popular excitement
has fared up Crowds assembled in the
streets to discuss them and wanted to
march to the palace to read them to King
George. Fortunately, heavy showers drove
the people indoors. NJ Delyannis, keenly
alive to the necessity of immediate action
had an audience with the king, and after
the interview announced that the staff of
the crown prince would be recalled and
that eXMinister Ralli with three of his
nominees, General Smolenski, General Nav
romihali and Colonel Dimopoulo, would be
appointed to replace them. NJ. Rail-, in a
published interview, says:
THE moment Constantine arrived at the
seat of war the sole thought of the respon-
sible commanders was not to attack or to
withstand the Turks, but to effect a safe
retreat If necessary. All orders emanated
from the palace. Those issued by any one
else were ignored. When dispatches were
sent to General MavromiaCheti he was not
where he was supposed to be, having been
moved on by superior orders"
NJ Ralli attended the council at the
palace.
The Daily Telegraph's Athens correspond
ent will say tomorrow: "All of NJ. Rallfs
conditions have been accepted The king
gives carte blanche to his ministers. AS
tho public begins to learn the truth anger
against the palace party increases and feel
ing of hostility against NJ Delyannis is
steadily growing. Late tonight (Monday)
crowds are parading menacngly in the VI
cinity of the palace.
1T is reported on good authority that ar
rangements are being made to enable the
royal family to leave the country hastily III
case of necessity. People had generally
credited the rumors that the crown prince
would be recalled and that the government
was willing to consider peace overtures. 1t
Is impossible TO say what VIII happen when
1t Is known that the war Is to be continued
and that the crown prince is to be retained
in command"

DISSATISFACTION AT ATHENS.
Newspapers Pass Cnustic Criticisms
on the King and Prince.

LONDON, April 26.The Athens CORE
spondent of the Times confirms the report
of the appointment of General Smolenski as
chief Of stan of the Greek army in Thessaly,
and adds:
"Colonels Staikos and Limbritis and Major
Constantinides have been recalled from
Crete to serve on the STAFF OF the crown
prince. The ministerial Palnguenesia an
nounces that all the officers OF Constantine's
staff have been recalled. A telegram re-
ceived today april 26) states that the Turks
ara within an hours march of Volo. The
Greek troops have been withdrawn from the
town, and are taking the wounded from the
hospitals.
Among the arrivals from Volo is ex-Min-
lister Ralli, leader of the largest opposition
group at the Boule. He has been at the
scene of war, and was at Larlssa last Friday
evening. He has published his views in
the Athens newspapers and has already sue
ceeGed in concentrating upon himself the
attention of the public Some believe he
is preparing to play the role of a Greek
Gambetta. In an interview with me today
NJ. Rali unsparingly denounced Constantine's
STAFF, which he holds responsible for all
that his happened He denies that there
was any real battle at Matt, says the Greek
troops were never defeated at that point
and attributed the sudden decision to aban-
don Tyrnavo and Larlssa TO the cowardice
and incapacity of the general staff.
Whatever may be the value of NJ, Ralli's
structures, they seem for the moment echoed
by the voice of the multitude. The Greek
populace in many respects resembles the
French and the old cry of Nous sommes
trahis,' is being raised 1t is now the
fashion to denounce persons in high places
and newspapers, which only the other day
were euogizing King George and NJ
Delyannis for having placed themselves at
the head of a national crusade, are now
bounding on the people against the consti-
tuted authorities. Some are openly attack

to announce that he has been recalled. the

oTTUMwA Ia, April 26.-The Des Mones
river, which last midnight was stationary
at the high water mark established by the
| great food of 1892, suddenly began to climb,
and by 8 o'clock today had added fifteen
inches to the record. The levees broke in
many places. railroad embankments were
undermined and hundreds of families were
compelled to leave their residences in great
| haste.
In Ottumwa over 500 families were com
| PEELED to move. large number making their
| escape in boats. At Bradysville, eighteen
| miles north of this city, $50 families vacated
| thein domicies and the principal streets are
being navigated in row boats. At South OF
| tumwa the river flows parallel with the main
street. 1t broke across this street early
this morning poured down the business and
residence streets, causing a panic and a
scramble for higher ground. Five hundred
people reside in this suburb, and several
| hundred deserted their houses The water
stands three feet deep in Fairview Farm
lands are completely inundated
large reservoir situated at the summit
of Court hill is the source of considerable
fear. The recent downpour has swollen the
sources of supply and the reservoir is now
so full that it threatens to burst and flood
the populous districts just below.
Railway traffic is almost at a standstill
All the small streams in southern Iowa are
out of their banks. Railroad bridges are
gone and travel by highway is out of the
question. The Burlington main lines between
Chicago and Omaha is cut in two by five
miles of inundated track. Through passen-
ger and freight trains are being run over
the Galesburg & st. Louis and the hannibal
& st. Joseph roads to Omaha.
The Rock Island also has five miles of track
under water west of here. Train service
was kept in motion with Keokuk until late
this afternoon, when large section of the
track went out at Cltfand effectually
blocking the Rock Island east and west
The Milwaukee G. st. Paul roundhouse and
yards are under water and part of one ap-
proach to the bridge has been washed
away. Trains are running only between

trance from the south, but is shut off on the
north end.
y Work on the levees before the city has
been progressing since last Friday, but the
sudden rise this morning destroyed a great
part of the labor. Large forces are en-
ployed tonight in an endeavor to prevent
further breaks.
The suburbs have so far been the worst
sufferers, aside from the railroads. West
Ottumwa, large residence section, is
tirely flooded, and the water is still rising.
Tho inhabitants cling 20 their homes, how
ever, hoping that the worst is over. Rich
farming lands above and below this city are
inundated. The flood there has not reached
high stage, but has spread out in many
places to width of five six miles. No
loss of life has been reported, but the dam
age to property will be very large,

NEW YORK, April 26-A dispatch to the
journal from London says: The special
correspondent of the Daily Mail, writing
from Milouna, thus describes the lighting
which led up to the battle at Matt: early
Friday morning Nlschat Pasha's division
occupied the hill of Krtirl This was the
last Greek position on the road to Larissa.
The enemy was driven from 1t by Edhem
Pashas deSterous flank movements We
had to eXpend the lives of Turkish soldiers
In storming it, The position was almost
impregnable aud was evacuated, thanks to
our strategy. Friday the Turks took two
villages above and below the pass 10 the
right of the Greeks.
The battle opened with a furious artillery
combat in which Turkish guns did great
execution, pulverizilg Greek opposition aud
preparing the way for the advance of our
infantry. The artillery fire was eXtraOrd-
narily accurate, l watched shell after
shell fall right on the Gree; entrenchments.
Presently the charge was sounded and our
troops advanced with impetuous ardor TO
the assault, They dashed forward with
cries Of Allah is great; he viii give us
victory over the infdcls swept up the hill,
were doing, were in the Greek entrenchnlent
and the onslaught was determined.
"Our losses were considerable. As our
men went shouting up the slope they left
many prone on the ground behind them"
Tho rout is told in another account from
the Greek side, which is as follows:
