retaken, captured again and again re-

verely from the splendid shrapnet pracc,
tice of Turkish batteries at range OF
$500 metres. Columns of smoke could
be seen rising in every direction from
the Greek positions, caused by the TURK
ish shell fire. The Greeks defended with
the greatest courage, but were not able
to stand against the slow but steady ad-
vance of the Turks.
"As evening came on, three OF the
Greek outworks surrendered and asked
the Turks to cease the shell fire. Inc

that the Turkish move on NeZcroS Is Il
feint to draw attention from Milounaa,

to advance in force on Larissa. This ut

advantage.

early this morning and that the Greeks
have captured fortified position al
Menexc, in Macedonia. According to the
general understanding here the Turkish
plan of campaign is concentration of
the Turks near the frontier town of
Tyrnavos with a view Of forcing the
mountain forces toward Larissa. One
report, which Is generally credited, has
it that Edhem Pasha, at the head of
1900 men, has already begun this
movement, and rumors in this respect
are flying, the substance of them being
that the battle which is expected to be
fought at or near Tyrnayos has already
commenced.
The Greek plan of campaign, so far as
it is understood by the Athenians, is
founded on the defense of Larissa in the
first instance, an attack upon that place
having been anticipated and prepared
for by occupying and taking every pos
sible advantage of all strategic points.
The country there is admirably suited
for defense, and, while this defense is
undertaken. the Greek fleet is relied upon
to destroy the coast ports Of Epirus and
Macedonia. The Greeks believe their
ultimate success is based Oh the expecta-
ton of universal rising of the Mace
domains and EpiOtcs, so soon as the
Greeks succeed in winning a brilliant
victory anywhere over the Turks.

nounced that the Turkish government
had To-Day notified Greece of the rupture
of diplomatic relations on the ground of
the aggressive attitude of the Greek gov
eminent. In a cool speech he reviewed
the recent events to show on the contrary
that Turkey had been the aggressor: that
her troops had attacked the Greeks and
attempted to occupy neutral positions and
that her batteries at Prevesa had sunk
the Greek ship Macedonia.
Turkey" said VI. Delyannis declared
war against us. We accept it."
This statement was received with pro-
longed cheering from the galleries and
the floor of the chamber. The premier
then read dispatches reciting the events
which had happened on the frontier and
with reference to the reported capture
of Mexentes, said that the batteries at
that important position had been brought
into action, but he knew nothing as to
its alleged capture. He added that the
Turks, after repeated efforts to force a
passage at Revenia. (which commands
the road to Larissa, had been driven
back.

SITUATION AT FRANKFORT.
Many of DR.. Hunters Friends Urge
Him to Demand Immediate Trial.

Frankfort. KY, April 1S.-Only about
half the members of the legislature were
in the city today. and an unusually uiqct
Sunday was passed. DR. Hunter still
refused to discuss the recent develop
ments or to say what are his plans.
Many of his friends are urging him to
demand an immediate trial and that he
stay in the race, at least until he is vim
dicated as they do not believe there is
any danger that the indictment tor con-
spracy to bride will stand the test of
judicial scrutiny. Others, however, de-
clare that any jury that might be secured
in Franklin county would be prejudiced
against Hunter and that he should let
the matter go over until September.
Mr.. Franks, who is jointly indicted
with DR.. Hunter and the rest, said to-
night that they had not yet had con
sultation on this point, and said he did
not know what conclusion would he
reached.
There is still good deal of talk about
new caucus, but Hunters personal
I friends are not among those who are in
dulging in it. 1t is evident that if he
is to be withdrawn at all, he must not
only be allowed to take his time in doing
so, but to practically dictate his sue
cessOr.
Only formal ballot will be taken
again tomorrow. but interesting develop
ments are looked for Tuesday.
