London. Nav 1.-The events of the
past week have served to further alien
ate sympathy from the Greeks.
The story from Larissa Of the fearful
stampede TO and from that city after
the fighting at TyrnaVo (ca5l9d. eNclu-
sively TO the Associated Press on We'd
nesday lasD is the sensation Of tie
day. The fact that the creek officers
were equally affected with rhe priVa.,e5
by the panic is regarded as proof that
the Greeks are utterly demoralized and
incapable of withstanding the steady
advance of the Turks.
The reports of the fighting at Neles-
tinO come from the Greek side. and are
not thought to he as important as they
are represented. Edhem Pash2, the
Turkish chief. is evi-
IDENTIFY preparing an extensive plan to
attack PharsaloS. and the appearance
of the Turkish cavalry in the direction
of DOmokos. about ten miles south of
Pharsalos, indicates that it is the in
tention Of Edhem Pasha TO turn the
Greek flank.
II is suspected that the fighting at
Nelestino was intended by the Turkish
general To divert attention and occupy

MESSAGE TO THE sultan.
It is stated that the German ambas-
sador at Constantinople. Baron Saurna
Won Geltsch. was on Wednesday, last
the bearer of a message TO The sultan
expressing Emperor Williams appre-
citation of the manner in which Edhem
PaSha had conducted the war against
Greece. General GGumbkoff, the Ger
man officer who reorganized the Turk
iSh artillery, has, however. in conse-
aHence of the orders from General Won
HChnke. the chief Of the emperor's mil
itsry cabinet, received instructions TO
return to~Genstantinopl from Elassona-
10 which place General Grumbkoff was
sent 10 inspect and report upon the
Turkish artillery and ammunition. The
active part General Grum0koff has
taken in the campaign. especially in
the occupation of Larissa. is much COM
mented upon. since he and a number
OF other German officers in the Otto
man service are still on the active list
OF the German army.
a STARTLING FACT.
An interesting fact in connection with
Edhem Pasha is that prior TO the war
be was regarded by the Greeks as be-
ing a Phil-Heilene. for when military
governor Of Uskub he showed himself
SO kindly disposed towards them and
rendered such valuable services to the
Greeks that the Greek government dec
GRATED him with the cross of COM
mander Of the Order of Our Savior.

CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
The conditions of peace which Greece
Will have to accept are stated to be
most probably as follows:
