STORY OF THE BATTLE.

TWENTY THOUSAND GREEKS FOUGHT FIFTY
THOUSAND TURKS
London May 6.-"The Daily Nails corrs-
spondent with the Turkish forces at PharsaIos.
telegraphing yesterday morning, says
Yesterdays Wednesdays battle was most
sublime as a spectacle and the most decisive OF
the entire war. 1t was not intended at the be-
ginning that the fight should be a regular pitched
engagement but on the arrival OF Echem Pacha
at the outposts furious firing began.
The weather was cool and the sky somewhat
cloudy after a thunderstorm. The village OF
Pharsalos could be seen huddled. as II were.
under a line Of w-peaked hills. Higher and
roundabout were black hills rising behind the
others while between US and the village ran the
small stream known TO the arcients as the
Raipeus crossed by bridge at the railway.
Between the stream and the village We're the
Greeks in an excellent position we'll defended
by earthworks. Their advance line consisted
Of two brigades. and their reserve OF two half
brigades. altogether about 2OOOO men. As
against these were $4,000 Turks.
"The artillery began the engagement. the
Greek practice being much better than usual;
but after about two hours they began TO retire
across the river. This was a great mistake. rs
they were thus inclosed between the river and
the mountains with no room to depoy.
The sight superb In many cases the
Greeks fought with The 60 irage OF despair. The
great black masses. forming the resr guard to
hold the bridge. covered the whole rich green
plain. and the endurance and dash OF the Turks
were magnificent too reached the battlefield

TURKS LOST HEAVILY.
cry ruorsAND MosLEMs KILLED OR woUNpE

SIX THOUSAND MosLEMs KILLED OR WOUNDED IN
THIS WEEKS FIGHTING.
London Nav GA dispatch from Athens as
serts that the losses Of the Greeks in the fighting
at Velestino AMI Pharsalos yesterday were cer-
tainIy one thousan killed and wounded, whiie
the Turks lost fully six thousand killed ana
wounded
Evidently It was Edhem Pachas ability to cut
in between the two Greek armies which led TO
the speedy retreats that are the beginning OF the
end The Greek accounts say that both retreats
were orderly but such news comes only from
official sources in Athens which are notoriously
untrustworthy 1t is just possible that, so iar
from being orderly they may both nave endeo
in a panic as was the case at Larissa. Ednem
Pacha will almost certainly follow, to prevent
General Smolenski from rejoining the main
army.
In any event General Smolenski is now cut on
from all chance Of embarking on the Greek ves-
sells at Volo He must either surrender to the
Turks or endeavor to reach Lamia by the difficult
mountain paths, so that everything now indi-
Gates that Greece will be compelled to sue for
peace in order to save the remnant Of her army
from destruction.
The absence Of the Greek cavalry at Phar-
salos left the Greeks in complete ignorance OF
the movements of the Turks; and II is another
illustration Of the general incompetency OF the
Greek staff General Smolenski himself has ad-
mitted that long habits Of guerilla warfare have
made the Greek army helpless against modern
military strategy.
1t is now believed that the end would have
come much sooner but for the difficulty the
Turks have experienced in bringing adequate
supplies Of ammunition for magazine rifles and
modern artillery over the mountain passes.

buried their dead and conveyed eighty-eight
