Turkish troops have been en gaged with them and fighting has been proceeding since 5 o'clock tliiB morning. At Turkish headquarters the news is looked upon as of the gravest descrip tion in view of the excitement here. Edhem Pasha has sent orders to have everything in readiness for an advance of the Turkish army in force. Elahsoxa, April 9.-4 p. m. A dis patch received at Turkish headquarters here from Grovena says the fighting be tween Greeks and Turks continues. The Turks, following out the instructions of Edhem Pasha, have surrounded the Greek irregulars and the greater part of the Turkish division stationed at Gro vena is now advancing. It is impossible to distinguish whether the invaders are supported by any substantial portion of the Greek regular army, but the corres pondent of the Associated Press is in formed the moment the Turkish officers ascertain the presence of uniforms of Greek regulars in the ranks of the ag gressors, Edhem Pasha will order an advance of the entire Turkish army.

Constantinople, April 9. Warlike preparations throughout the Turkish empire continue to be steadily pressed, although there is not much change in the Eastern situation. A very pessi mistic feeling prevails here at the failui of the powers' attempts to coerce Greece. A blockade of the Piraeus seems as far off as evor, and the war party is bring ing pressure to bear on the government, I with the result that the porte has des I patched circulars to its representatives abroad, setting forth that the Turks ure growing impatient at the prolongation ! of the crisis, which is pressing heavily upon the embarrassed exchequer. The belief prevails here that the powers are losing their hold over the course of events, and that their so-called concert is a tailure. A new clanger lias arisen, through thecirculation in Constantinople and the provinces of a pamphlet recit ing alleged Christian atrocities on Mus sulmans in Crete and elsewhere. This has so inflamed the Turks against the Greeks that the Grecian minister has drawn the attention of the porte to the matter. The government has taken steps necessary to prevent outbreaks up on the part of the populace. A Valuable Prescription.
