London, April 26.-The dispatches of the
special correspondents for publication to-
morrow consist for the most part of ad-
tional details of the Creeks discontinue.
Turkish plans are not yet revealed. There
is no doubt that the Crown Prince Con-
stantine ordered the bridges to be de-
stroyed before the Greeks abandoned La
rissa, but damage could not be done be-
yond what could be easily repaired by the
Turks. 1t seems equally certain that the
Greeks only escaped a crushing defeat
with returning daylight by precipitate
flight.
The Athens correspondent OF the Times
confirms the report of the appointment
Of Gen. Smolenski as chief of staff of the
Greek army In Thessaly, and adds:
"Cols. Skikos and Limbritis and Maj.
COnstantinides have been recalled from
Crete to serve on the staff of the crown
prince. The ministerial pallngenesia an
nounces that all the officers on Prince
Constantine's staff have been Iecalled.
"A telegram received here to-day april
90, states that the Turks are within an
hours march of Volo. The Greek troops
have been withdrawn from the town and
are taking the wounded from the hospitals.
Among the arrivals from Vofo is ex-Min-
ister Rail-, leader of the largest opposition
group in the Boule. He has been at the
scene of war, and was at Larissa last Fri
day evening. He has published his views
in the Athens newspapers, and has already
succeeded in concentrating upon himself
the attention of the public. Many believe
that he is preparing to play the role of a
Greek Gambetta
I'm an interview with me to-day, M.
Rail-, unscathingly denounced Prince Con-
stanstine's staff which he holds responsible
for all that has happened. He denies that
there was any real battle at Matt; he says
the Greek troops were never defeated at
that point, and attributed the sudden de-
cision to abandon Tyrnavos and Larissa to
the cowardice and incapacity of the gem
eral staff.

George and NJ. Delyannis for having plac-
