GLOOMY FEELING AT ATHENS
The Battle of Matt, That Resulted in Laris-
sa's Abandonment.

The Battle of Matt, That Resulted in Laris-
sa's Abandonment
Athens, April 26.-It is useless to deny
that a very gloomy view of the war
prospects is taken here by the better in
formed. There are, however. no signs
Of panic. The city exhibits an attitude
of dignifed endurance while many per-
sons still show an undated enthusiasm
for fight. This symptom is particularly
noticeable among the wounded now in
Athens. Their one desire seems to be
healed in order that they may rejoin the
colors. Naturally this spirit is much
fostered by the confirmation Of the re-
ports that the Turks have burned the
Greek wounded in church at Kurtzi-
wolf. The Turks lighted fires under the
bodies of wounded beasts. Many of the
Greek wounded implored their COM
rades TO kill them; others committed
suicide.
The news of the loss of Matt was re-
ceived during the small hours of Satur-
day morning. The premier and the min
lister of war were Immediately sum-
moned to the palace, where a council
Of the ministry sat until after daybreak
There was some difference of opinion,
but 1t was finally decided, in view of
the exhaustion of the Greek troops and
numerical superiority of the Turks, to
order retreat to Pharsala. The Greek
stand will be made at Pharsala, which
once again may become the scene of a
memorable battle. The battle of Matt
lasted all Friday. the Greeks defend
ing their positions with great intrepidity

The Turks, strongly reinforced, sue

Aurora, Ind, April 26.-The funeral of
Hon. W. S. Holman, who had repre-
sented the fourth district in congress
many years. was very largely attended
here yesterday. Judge Holman was
born here "A years ago and always lived
here. Everybody knew him. The spe-
cial cars bearing the remains, the fam
fly and the congressional committee, ar
rived over the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern railway at 9 a. m. The
Aurora committee met the train at Gin
cinnati. At the station here the citizens
turned out en- masse and followed the
hearse to the First Baptist church,
where the remains lay in state.
Residences and business blocks were
draped in mourning. While the remains
lay in state the congressional escort was
entertained at the hotel. At 1890 the re-
mains were taken to the Holman resi-
dence, where the funeral services were
held. The citizens committee. council,

were in the procession to the cemetery

FALL OF LARISSA AND TYRNAvO

Makes the Greek Cause Very Desperate
That the Hellenes, Having shown Their
Grit and Patriotism, Will Now Listen to
Peace Proposals, and That This Week
Will See the War at an End.
London. April 26.-lCopyright, 1887. by
the Associated Press.l-What seems
likely to be the last week of the war
was entered upon yesterday. 1t is diff
cult from the tangle of conflicting tele-
grams to understand the exact position
of affairs. Following the Greek defeat
at Larissa London opinion is almost
unanimous that the end is in sight. and
this view is probab bly, shared by the pow
ers, as they are already moving to inter-
vene. For Larissa has fallen without a
blow being struck directly thereat. The
most modern construction and looked as
though they were impregnable to any
thing except an overwhelming force.
But after a desperate stand made at
Natl the Greek troops were driven back
by force Of numbers and retreated from
both Larissa and Tyrnavo. Thus two
strongholds have fallen into the hands
Of the Turks.
Time Is Propitious for Arbitration.
So it is thought that the time for Eu-
rope to intervene has arrived. 1t is be-
lieved that Intervention will first take
the form of suggestion of armistice, to
which the cOmbatants would no doubt
agree. Since Saturday afternoon the
British foreign office has been in close
communication with the other members
of the European concert, Great Britain
suggesting that the time has now ar
rived for them to act. The French, Ger
man and Italian governments have al
ready responded, Offering to agree,
though the German government adds as
| condition that it will be necessary to
exact pledge from Greece to obey the
mandate of Europe when this mandate
,, Is again given. The British foreign of
flee believes that Greece will give this
pledge. as the disasters which have over
taken her have demonstrated that Tur-
key still possesses a formida BILE fighting
machine. "a fact which must have sober
ing effect upon the popular demand for
| war at Athens. and which will permit
the Greek nation to climb down without
disgrace, after a superb vindication of
the personal courage of the Greek troops
and gratifying demonstration of Hell
lenic patriotism. If the Greeks listen to
| reason 10 is not improbable that decis-
ion will be reached by tomorrow, before
which it is not supposed here that Ed
hem Pasha or Osman Pasha will have
time to do more than to appear at Phar-
sala.
Greece Is Done with the Powers.
Paris, April 26.-The Figaro's Berlin
correspondent says it is emi-ofHcially
announced that Greece will neither So
licit nor accept the intervention of the
powers, and is preparing to negotiate
direct with Turkey.
Rome, April 26.-L'Opinione semi-of-
ficially says this morning: The hour is
grave for Greece. Her abandonment of
Larissa is more than a defeat. 1t is a
demonstration of impotence, and its
| consequences are incalculable unless she
| has the courage to negotiate and to
withdraw her troops from Crete.

Makes the Outlook Gloomy.
Memphis. Tenn. April 26.-Yesterday
was a rainy and threatening Sum
day in the lower delta country, and
the Louisiana levees are being taxed
to their utmost. At Natchez the river
gauge shows a rise during the last
twenty-four hours of one-tenth of a
foot. Showers prevailed in this section
all yesterday and last night a steady
downpour was reported. The levees are
soft and mushy, and with a continued
precipitation it is feared that the en-
bankment will give way. A telegram
from Clayton, La, received last night
states that the Tensas river has risen
over one foot since Saturday night and
the swift stream is full of heavy drift.
The backwater from the Biggs crevasse
is showing itself near Vidalia and it will
inundate many acres of rich land in
that section.
At Greenville the river fell two-tenths
of a foot in twenty-four hours. Light
showers prevailed all yesterday and the
weather last night was warm
