Athens, April 27.-The Proia, in a spe-

Smolensh has been appointed chief of
staff of the army in Thessaly, with
power to choose the members of his
staff. General Smolenski is 40 years of
age and very popular with the troops.
The dispositions Of Greek soldiery for

and the minister of war; and orders
have been given for the occupation of
the heights at Velegetino and Philas-

After the recent events which have
materially excited public opinion, NJ.
Delyannis had long interview with
King George, who again assured the

prove any decision the government
might reach with view to the inn
provement of the situation. After the

Gil was held 1t is expected that ener-

The Retreat From Larissa.
A correspondent has just received
from a colleague who is with the Turk
ish army near Tyrnavo the substance
Of an interview which the latter had
with Edhem Pasha in confirmation of
the paniclSy retreat of the Greeks. Ed
hem Pasha laughingly said:
Il am really grateful to the Greek
commander for giving me these agreea-
BILE quarters. The Greek retreat was a
general rout. They left everything be-
hind, including immense quantities of
artillery and munitions Of war; which
we will be able to make use Of. If
they had not heard the Albanians sing
ing on their night march, we would
have been upon them in an hour"
The panic appears to have spread to
the very center of the Greek camp.
When daylight appeared, not a Greek
was visible. The Greek position on
Mount Shabana, commanding the mouth
of the pass, alone was defended, but
the resistance there was feeble, as the
occupants already knew that the army
had fed. About 100 prisoners were
taken by the Turks.
