BAD FOR EDHEM PAsHA.
Supplies for His Army Captured by
the Greeks

Supplies for His ARMY Captured by
the Greeks.
ATHENS, April %. 8 a. n.-After the
bombardment of Katrina, on, the Gulf
Of Salonica, by the Greek squadron,
had put to flight two battalions of
Turks and the inhabitants of that
place. the Greek fleet landed a de-
tachment and found the Turks had
left behind them immense stores of
provisions destined for the army of
Edhem Pasha. These valuable stores
had been left almost unprotected in
the belief by the Turks that a block
ade of Greece by the fleets of the
powers would prevent the Greek fleet
from attacking the Turkish towns on
the Gulf of Salonica, which are near
the railroad to Salonica, and which
have been used as points to land stores
for the Turkish army and forward
them to the front.
The capture of these towns, not to
mention the loss of the stores, places
a difficulty in the path of Edhem Pasha.
and it is stated here that as soon as
the Turkish cOmmander-in-chie heard
the news of the capture of Platamona
ard Katrina he dispatched 10000 men
towards the coast of Macedonia, fear
ing a flank attack from the Gulf of
