tween Turkish force Of 5000 and Gen.
Smolenski's brigade. The dispatch
states that the Turks were repulsed
with enormous losses.
ATHENS, April 30.-During the last
twenty-four hours the Turks have al
most been forgotten. Nothing is thought
of but the cabinet crisis. M. Delyann1s
has countersigned the decree dismiss
ing his ministry. The new cabinet is
composed equally Of members Of M.
Rallis party and of followers Of the
late NJ Tricoupis, the latter holding the
most important portfolios
At cabinet council held today 1t
was decided that the minister Of war,
Col. Tosamados, and the minister OF
the interior, M. Theotok:s, should pro-
ceed to Pharsalos in order to ascertain
the condition Of the Greek forces there
On the whole, the new ministry is
we'll received by the newspapers. The
Asty observes that the cabinet has a
formidable task and hopes it will do
it's duty without needing the "incon-
siderate clamors Of the street." The
Acropolis expresses the opinion that
King George ought to invoke the medi-
alton of Europe in person.
LONDON, April 30.-Todays news
from the seat of war indicates the con-
tinuous advance of the Turks in both
Thessaly and Epirus, but Edhem Pasha
is carefully concealing the time and
place of his principal attack. Despite
optimistic views held in certain quar-
ters in Athens the new cabinet seems
about to enter a hopeless struggle.
LONDON, April S0.-A dispatch to
the Telegraph from Vienna says the
situation of the Greek royal family
Is now critical.
The Times correspondent at Athens
says: The storm which threatened to
break seems to have passed away. The
new cabinet contains several men OF
excellent talent and the selection is
generally we'll received. Nevertheless
angry mutteringS are still heard and
the sky may soon redarken. No dis
patches have been received from Arta
since noon today (Friday). 1t is be-
lieved that the sudden advance of the
Turks in Epirus is due to the appre-
hension that the powers will soon in
Sist upon an armiStice, in which case
the Greeks might be allowed to retain
the positions captured in Epirus. The
news from Thessaly is, also unfavorable.
Fighting at Velestino was resumed
this morning. The Greek right repell-
ed vigorous cavalry charges, but their
left, though supported by reinforce
ments under Col. Mavronichai, was
compelled to retire. It is feared their
position at Pharsalos will be out
fanked, thus compelling a retreat to
Domokos.
ATHENS, April 30-The report of the
retreat in Epirus is confirmed. The
Greeks are abandoning all positions
they have occupied except Salagora.
Phillippiada is among the places evac-
uated. The minister of war, before
starting for Pharsalos, submitted tc
King George, for signature, decree
recalling the chief of staff, Col. Sap
ountzakis, whom the Delyannis cabinet,
despite it's promises, would not recall,
because the crown prince had declared
that he would consider such a recall
a personal affront to himself
LONDON, April 30.-A dispatch to
the Times from Larissa, dated Tuesday,
says: Volo surrendered last evening
(Monday) to force Of Turkish cavalry.
The garrison yielded up it's arms with
out resisting.
The Standards correspondent at
Athens says: Last evening as the
Grown Princess Sophia was returning
from visit to the ambulance hoSpi-
tal she was l1issed and jeered by the
