ATHENS, GREECE, April 23.-A decree

Late dispatches from Larissa say the
Turks have burned the villages of Karayo-
land of Moralaria and part of Igaria, in
cluding churches.
Dispatches from Epirus say the Turks
In that province are panic stricken and,
instead of remaining to defend their posi-
tons, fee in terror as the Greeks ap-
proach. Many cannon and quantities of
ammunition and an abundance of booty
are said to have fallen into the hands of
the invaders. It is learned the position of
the army OF Edhem Pasha is desperate
Supplies of all kinds are needed
Appeals for re-enforcements are due to
serious losses the Turks sustained. At
Reveni and Boughazi whole battalions of
Turkish troops were decimated.

Edhem Pasha has telegrsphed from the

advanced 10 the bridge, only to meet
murderous fire. The Turks did not get
farther than the center of the bridge, at
which point their commander was shot
dead.
In the afternoon the Turks made an
other assault, but the Greeks were then
sheltered in the trenches ana repulsed
them. The Greeks crossed the river near
Komena, three miles from its mouth,
where the current is rapid and the water
deep. They nailed planks across barrels
and threw them overheard, forming an
excellent bridge. Arriving on the other
side, they found the Turks some distance
from the river entrenched upon the plain.
The Greeks shelled the Turks out. The
Turks retreated and formed in several
other positions. but were invariably dis
lodged.
Stories of Mussulman atrocities are cur
rent in Arta. One eyewitness says a
number OF Christian women, captives of
the Turks, were marched in front of the
Turkish lines in the hope their country
men would not fire.

to take full advantage of the latter sItua-

The Turkish navy has utterly collapsed

A dispatch from the commander of a

Greeks destroyed large quantities of sup

REED REFUSES.

The Speaker VIII Not Let MagIure
Present Resolutions Expressing
Sympathy for Greece.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 23.-
Speaker Reed refused to-day to permit
the resolutions presented by Representa-
tive Mcguire, extending sympathy to the
Greeks, to come before the House. The
Californian, to secure immediate action,
asked Reed to recognize him for unani-
nous consent to take up the resolutions.
IL cannot assume the responsi bility Of
permitting these resolutions to come up"
replied Reed. "They meddle in affairs
that do not belong to us. This country
got one severe slap from Bismarck for
meddling, ard l do not propose to lay 1t
open to a second"
Mcguire was finally compelled to intro
duce the resolutions in the regular way,
which means the shelving OF them until
the Committee on Foreign Affairs is ap-
pointed.

sim ply because the concert of Europe have
taken sides with Turkey and given the
Sultan 70 understand be can have as free
hand in Greece as Armenia. The Sultan
was not much inclined TO take chances of
war, and it is believed here that Germany
influenced him to take the final step.
Other powers advised peace, but assured
him Europe would not intervene in aid of
Greece. Even now the war might be
stopped, but no power honestly wishes it
Salisbury preferred to let things drift,
with the vague idea that war would be
better than nothing and something would
come which would end the long and
wearisome period of fruitless negotia-
tions. He hoped the TURKS might Dos
sibly be beaten and the Sultan be beaten
into submission, and that even if victori-
Gus he would come out of the war in
condition of helpless bankruptcy, too
weak to resist the powers.
The Turkish armies ought to be in
Athens within month. For the Turks
this Is strictly religious war. They are
full OF fanaticism and drunk with the
blood Of Arme eaians. The idea that the
Sultan, even if he should be victorious.
will come out OF the war rather than bdi.
cate comes from mistaken view of his
character and policy. 1t does not follow
from his fear of assassination and appar.
ent vaciliation in dealing with Embassa-
dors that he is weak man without n
fixed policy. On the contrary. he is a
very strong man, with the indomitable
purpose 10 restore the power and glory of
the Caliphat. The success of this war
will max him more defiant than ever.
1t will arouse the courage and fanaticism
OF Moslems throughout the world. Al
