TIE FAIL OF noMoKos.
Greeks Sustain Another Crushing
Defeat MT Hands of the Turks.

Greeks Sustain Another Crushing
Defeat mt Hands of the Turks.
London, May 1s.-The Turks have cap
tured Domokos, after one of the fierccst
battles of modern times. About 10000
troops were engaged. The fighting con-
tinued from noon until nine o'clock
Monday evening. Reports thus far re-
ceived are from Greek sources only, but
il is feared mat the left wing of Prince
Const ntine's army has been destroyed.
London, May 1S.-The Daily Tele-
grs ph's special correspondent with the
/ Turkish forces in Thessaly says: Ed
hem Pasha has moved on from point to
point and finally occupied Domokos.
The Greeks have sustained a crushing
defeat.
Says Turks Were RepuIsed.
Athens. May IS. - Dispatches sent
from Domokos say that the Greek left
wing has fallen back toward the center
before thrice the number of Turks. The
battle continued after sunset, but, de-
spite the yielding of the left wing, the
Turks were finally repulsed. Gen.
Mavromichalis was wounded.
A Foolish Move.
! London, May 1s.-The latest news
/ from the seat of hostilities, by way of
Athens. shows that the battle Monday
ceased about nine o'clock in the even
ing, but will probably be resumed this
morning. Thus far no account of the
fighting has been received from the
Turkish side. 1t is evident from the
Greek account that the Greeks have suf
fered a serious defeat, and if the left
wing has given way. as appears prob
able, Edhem Pasha may be able to cut
off Greek retreat and separate Gen.
Smolenski, at Sourpi, from the main
army.
This-is Edhem Pasha's reply to the
foolish attempt of Col. Manos to snatch
victory in Epirus. If Greece had pre-
vented Manos from playing this last
card of a gambler, Turkey might per-
haps have ceased hostilities. As it is
now, she is in full possession of Thessaly.
and the powers viii find the task of
protecting Greece more difficult than
ever.
The dispatches from Athens repre-
sent the populace as astounded when
the news of the fighting came. They
had hoped to the last that the powers
would prevent Turkey from going fur
Their. One report represents the Greek
government as threatening to take eX-
tremc and desperate steps unless Eu-
rope arrests the progress of the IN
vaders.

he Asked-Greeks at DomokoE
Sustain a Crushing
Defeat.

Constantinople. May 1.-THE porte
has replied officially to the note of the
powers and declines to agree to an
armistice until the following conditions
are accepted: The annexation of Thes-
sally. an indemnityof 10000. 900 Turk
ish, and the abolition of the capitula-
tions. The porte proposes that pleni-
potentiaries of the powers should meet
at Pharsalos TO discuss the terms of
peace, and declares that If these condi-
tions are declined the Turkish army
viii continue to advance, The demand
for the annexation of Tt essaly is based
upon the fact that the province was
originally coded TO Greece on the advice
of the powers with the object of ending
brigandage and Greek incursions into
Ottoman territory, the porte believing
at the time that the cession would at
tain these objects, but the recent in
cursions of Greek bands and the events
Immediately preceding the war have
proved 10 the contrary. This is the sub
stance of the reply.
