April 21 Mid niht Crown Prlnoe Const amine telegraphed from Larfasa, the tieaJquarters of the Greek forces In Thessaly: "We have kept all our positions and the situation today is excellent. Every road by which the Turks oan descend into the Theasalian plain has been seised by our troops. I oarmot wire at greater length now. 1 am fighting my self; so Is Prince Nicholas." GREAT EXCITEMENT. Athens, April 21. Public suspens here tonight la terrible, owing to the lack of definite news. The government haa received telegrams from Lartssa throughout the day urgtng prompt dtspatch of reinforcements to tha- point, as the Greek troops are being exhausted by the constant Turkish at tacks. All shops were closed today wlille prayers were being offered in thi churches tor the success of the Greek troops. Every nerve Is being strained to send all available men to the front. The palace guard and gen d'armerle will go tomorrow. Volunteer bands are organizing everywhere throughout the country. In Thessaly the whole population Is being armed and made ready. SUPPRESSING DISPATCHS. London. April 21. Commenting upon the absence of definite news today from Elaasona, the headquarters of the Turkish troops in 'Mecedonla the Dally Mail says It .has receive 1 a private tel egram from one of Its correspondents on the scene of hostilities indicating that Edhlm Pasha is suppressing all dispatches. This correspondent adds: "The whole situation appears chang ed by the tenacity with which the Greeks are holding- Revlna Pass, and they may possibly cut Edhlm Pasha's position and cut him off from his sun piles. THE TURKS SURPRISED. Constantinople, April 21. The sitting of military commissions has been crn tlnued. since yesterday at Yield! kiosk.

The mobtlliation of forty battalions has been decided upon and the enrollment of volunteers Is being considered. The sturdy resistance offered by the Greeks was wholly unexpected, and the Idea that the forces of Edhlm Pasha would ihave a military promenade to Lartssa has already been abandoned.: Telegrams received by the parts from western provinces show that the Alba- ulaii Irreifulam ar 'W-njitatlnir Vf (Bin try In rntny IfM-aLtk.

MORE WRECKAGE SIGHTED. San Francisco, April 21. Those Inter ested tn the overdue coal ship Samaria are anxiously awaiting the return of the revenue cutter Rush, tltat left port some days ago to search for the miss ing vessel or wreckage thereof. Fre quent sighting of drift by vessMs ply ing between this port and Puget sound has given rise to the theory that not only was the Samaria lost at sea, but also one of the Puget sound Australian lumber fleet. Much of the wreckage reported adrift off Cape Flattery is new lumber. It Is probable that the lumber craft was caught In the storm That undoubtedly sent the Samaria to the bottom, and lost her deck-load. PASSED OVER THE VETO. Portland, April 21.
