Athkns, April 30. Tlio notion between
the Turks and Greeks which began jes
terdny at ValcstitiO, about ten miles
west of Volo, continued today. General
Smolensk's brigade, flghting bravely,
repulsed repeated charges of the Turk-
nrtillery.
Denluu by tlio l'orti).
Constantinople, April 30. The Turk
iah government has issued the following
announcement :
"Far from being repulsed at Valestino,
the imperial troops continued their vic
torious march forward."
Volo In Occupied.
London-, April 30 The Evening News
this afternoon publishes a dispatch from
Constantinople, dated todny, saying the
Turkish cavalry occupied Volo yesterday
evening. The dispatch adds that ten
days' delay has been granted the Greeks
desirous of leaving Constantinople.
A runic at Volo.
Rome, April 30. Dispatches from Volo
by way of Athens say a terrible panic
prevail at Volo, and if the place falls
into the hands of the Turks, the situa
tion of the Greek army will be desperate.
Turks Wore Victors.
Constantinople, April 30. A dis
patch from the Turkish military com
mander at Janina announces that Mus
tapha's brigade yesterday occupied the
heights commanding Nichesto and Keer
vausorvall, beyond Pentepegidia, and
the Greek troops in that vicinity there
upon retreated.
The Vail, of Salonica, telegraphs that
a band of Greeks has been routed by the
Turkish corps near I'ravishte. Ten
Greeks were captured.
OmiH Wcru Not l)umaKil.
Atiij:ns, April 30. A correspondent of
the Associated Press, who was at Lar
issa Thursday, reports that tho Turkish
troops found all tho guns of the fortress
intact, and obtained possession of im
mense quantities of ammunition. The
abandonment of such a strong position
ib incomprehensible. News of the oc
cupation of Volo by tho Turkish forces
is momentarily expected here.
SITUATION AT 8AI.ONICA.
l'ociplo Ktinily to I'lo In Case of u Groek
Attack.
Nhw Yoitic, April 30. A Journal dis
patch from Salonica says :
From Vienna to Nish in Servia, and to
the Turkish frontier all the news was of
the Greek defeat and everywhere was
rejoicing, because the Greek is detested
in all of Southeastern Europe. In Aus-tro-Hungary
and Servia, the Greek indi
vidual is equal to three Oriental Jews,
therefore, Austro-Hungary and Servia
all presented a broad grin at the con
stant news of Greek reverses. In Sarvia
they said: "We are delighted. We
are happy and at peace for the first time
in our history."
Uut when Salonica was reached all
tliis was changed. There were two sides
to the story. While it is true the Turks
gained a great victory at Milouna and at
Lurrisa, yet the Greeks had been van
quishing the TurkB at other points and
destroying towns along the coast near
this place,
So great was the Turkish discontent
with tho way the war is carried on that
It is actually stated that Oaman Pasha
was eont to infuse new courage into the
army, The hero of Plevna is very old.
It is like asking Bisruark to take the
field, or sending Victoria around Eng
land stump-speaking at a general elec
tion but he is idoliied by every Turk.
His mere name is a tower of strength.
Salonica is quiet among its foul smells,
all say : "Tim quiot is only today j God
knows what willwlll he tomorrow."
The Greek fleet of 10 war vessels is
only 20 miles distant, and has already
bombarded two towns. It is likely any
moment to give 10 hours' notico to the
peopie to quit tho town before a bom
bardment. Austria and Italian war
ships lie in the harbor ready to take
care of their fellow countrymen, and all
strangers requiring protection. In all
houses of the better classes men have
their wives and children in readiness for
flight, curios boxe.l up and valuables
put up In portable packages, and yet
nothing of a panic meets the eye. Jews
swarm the streets, selling goods and
counting money. Albanian doormen in
quilted white petticoats back in chairs
in the sunshine, and in the concert-halls
music and beer flow together, and men
and women flirt, drink and suioke to
gether as if the fate of Bain Ion will
be repeated.
Cablegrams from the field of battle
are nil alike all Turkish, practically
dictated by a staff officer of the commander-in-chief.
All dispatches thus
dictated must go via Constantinople,
and are subjected to strict courtship.
This seems quite unnecessary, because
Turkey must win, and win quickly, un
less tho powers interfere. Today she
has almost double as many men in the
field as Greece, and has millions ready
to take arms, while Greece has no more
men.
Other correspondents here are Pierre
Mills, of the Journal des Debats of Paris ;
Stanhope, of the Herald ; Roberts, of
the American legation and the London
News. These are buying teutB, horses
and canned food and aranging to secure
a military guard for three days' journey
to Larissa, only one day of which is by
rail.
There Is Nothing So Good.
There is nothing just as good as Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds, bo demand it and do
not permit the dealer to sell you some
substitute. He will not claim there is
anything better, but in order to make
more profit he may claim something else
to be just as good. You want Dr. King's
New Discovery because you know it to
be safe and reliable, and guaranteed to
do good or money refunded. For Coughs,
Colds, Consumption and for all affec
tions of Throat, Chest and Lungs, there
is nothing so good as is Dr. King's aevv

An Electric Ear Drum.
St. Louis, April 30. Civil Engineer
Wilhan L. Skinner had patented an
electrical ear drum which he claims will
make the deaf hear. The drum consists
of an electrode contact plate and an elas
tic receiver designed on the principle of
the telephone, but much more uelicate
in operation. When once placed in the
ear no further adjustment is necessary.
To a portion of the device inserted in the
ear is attached a wire so small as to be
scarcely visible. This leads to a dry
batterv which may be carried in the
nocket.
The inventor claims that tho wearer
will be ablo to hear as well as those un
afflicted without the annoyance of wear
ing a epeaking tube.
Mrs. A. Iuveen, residing at 720 Henry
