peplorable condltlon At Ana.

London, May 4.--The correspondent
of The Daily Mail at Arta says
zone of the worst mistakes the
Greeks have made has been the casual
ana intermittent character of the at
tack upon Prevesa. Its capture was
essential II the Greeks meant business
in Epirus. To capture so strong a place
by the means adopted was quite impos-
sisle, and now the opportunity is lost
altogether.
Instead Of the desultory firing, which
enabled the Turks to repair damage
about as fast as it was done, the town
should have been attacked with deter
mination by the comoined naval and
military forces.
"Arta is now deserted, its wretched
inhabitants living in the fields behind
the town, many Of them on the verge
of starvation. Nothing is procurable
in the way of food except a scanty and
uncertain supply Of bread. Women
and children are suffering horribly with
cold and hunger, and to these tortures
is added the dread of Turkish attack
at any moment"

The situation at voio.

Volo, May A majority of the in
habitants have migrated from this port
10 Athens and the island Of Eub@a.
The town is calmer. owing to the ar
rival Of the Greek squadron and
French British and Italian warships.
Two hundred French sailors are pa
trolling the streets in order to reassure
the inhabitants.
The Greek treasury Of Thessaly, COM
prising 100 chests of money. has been
lying at the French consulate. The
treasure has been transported on board
a Greek warship and was conveyed
to Athens.
The Turks are approaching in the
direction of Velestino, where $4,000
Greeks are encamped and skillfully in
trenched.
A detachment of evzones is guarding
the railroad station here. The French
flag has been hoisted over the hospital.
A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from this point at 3 p. M yes

the minister Of war. and NJ. Theotokiss
the minister Of the interior, are said to
be favorably impressed with the situa-
ton at Pharsala both as respects the
positions of the troops and the plan OF
defense.
In an Interview NJ. RalH, the prime
minister, says:
THE report sent by the ministers of
war and OF the interior from Pharsala Is
In most respects highly satisfying.
They have wired him from Pharsala
that the front line of the army is in
battle array and the Turkish attack is
imminent. All the preparations possi-
bic have been made for heroic defense,
and the spirit of the army is much
better than before, owing to the change
in the supreme command"
M. Rail- declared that the victory at
Velestino was the most splendid
achievement of the war, the Greeks
capturing an enormous quantity of
arms, ammunition and horses. The
Turks, after this crushing defeat, M.
Ralli believes, are not likely to re-en-
gage in hostilities in that quarter.
Under all the circumstances" NJ.
Rail- continued, "the cabinet deems it
advisable to leave General Smolenski
with his own brigade and not to pro-
mote him to a higher post for the mo-
ment."
Rumors conflict materially as to the
diplomatic attitude Of Turkey. Ac-
cording to one report, Edhem Pasha,
the Turkish commander in Thessaly,
has asked an armistice Of FIVE days.
According to another, an armistice al
ready exists by the tacit acquiescence
Of both commanders. while the third
story describes Edhem Pasha as only
awaiting re-enforcements for an attack
upon Pharsala. to be followed by an
attack upon Volo.
1t is also said to be probable that Ad-
miral Tamatello is preparing to pre-
vent a possible attempt Of the Turks tC
seize Volo by the coast roads.
