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

London May 4-The latest points of in
terest in the situation are:
First, that the decision Of the ministers,
who have returned from the Greek from
tier. seems to be in favor of a contlnu-
ance of the war; and, second, that fight

Greek Reverse in Epirus.
London. April ga dispatch to tt
Daily Mail from PalraS SAYS:

London. April ga dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Palras, says:
The Greeks have suffered their first
great reverse in Epirus, and the situation
has changed with startling suddenness.
When l last telegraphed the Turks were
in full and disorderly retreat toward ia
nina and the Greeks were joyously ad-
vancing. For some unaccountable reason
the absurdly inadequate force of only
1000 men was detached from Phillipiada
to seize Pentepgidia.
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 des-
perate and bloody hand to hand encoun-
ter ensued. The Turks uttered demoni-
acal yels 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-
sidera BILE disadvantage. An hour after
the fight began the companies of Turks
occupied hill on the Greek flank and
opened a deadly fire. The Greeks 1oke
in confusion and fled in panic.
Red Lodge picket. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1889-1907, 1897-05-08

and the confusion was completed by the
shouts and ruSheS Of the EvzoneS ana
irregulars in every style of outfit. Their
previous sullenness gave place to the
clamor of disappointed and dispirited
men, They forgot their weariness in wild
imprecations.
The retreat became a rout. Our car
riage was slowly picking its way through
the crying women and children, and the
horses, all overladen, were walking at
snails pace or prancing with nervous
fright.
Suddenly. above the din OF the con-
fused masses on the road and in the ad-
joining fields came a roar developing into
a fierce, sustained yell, rolling from the
distant rear with lightning speed. In the
midst of this could be distinguished cries
of The Turks are upon u.s. In few
minutes a dozen horsemen and as many
rideriess steeds appeared on the left at a
full gallop, the men shouting with fren-
zy, Run, run; the Turks are here!
I'm the night air arose the agonlzed
roar fairly paralyZing imagination. 1t
Will remain in my memory forever. The
stampede was immediate. The animals
were lashed into a gallop, and men, wo-
men, children and soldiers joined pell-
nell in a mad rush, many Whc cell to the
ground being trampled to death. We
hicies We're overturned, mixing up bed
ding, furniture, ammunition, horses dom
keys, oxen and buffaloes.
Some of the Greek officers, it Is true,
did their duty. They ordered the buglers
and the trumpeters to sound cease firing
and rode about calling upon the fleeing
soldiers to halt. But others of the Greek
officers lost their heads and rushed on
ward as terror stricken as the soldiers.
One brave officer tried to bring his men
to their senses by presenting a revolver
at them and shouting, Stop! stop' But
he might as we'll have called upon
whirlwind to stay in its course.
''By 80 p. m. Larissa was emptied. In
stead of following the troops 20 Phar-
sala. the correspondent, in order to get
off his dispatches, pushed on to Volo,
where there was panic almost equally
a. great as the one witnessed at Larissa.
Fugitives were arriving at Volo every
few minutes, and they spread rumors
that the Turks would enter the place in a
few hours. In the absence Of steamers,
there was general rush for caiques on
board Of which the well-to-do classes
went to Euboea or other islands.
ITO such an extent did this feeling of
panic spread that the government steamer
which was embarking wounded soldiers
from the pier was obliged to leave Volo
harbor, owing to the fact that the fran
tic population threatened to make a rush
on board the steamship. which would
probab bly, have resulted in a great loss OF
life. AS it was, the wounded soldiers
were taken on board the steamer in small
boats and the vessel sailed for Piraeus in
a hurry, leaving two English nurses and
six wounded soldiers on the quay. The
nurses and the wounded soldiers were
taken to the English legat

trust were not doing it by his orders
