CHEERING NEWS.
Athens. 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.
It Is reported that Edhlm Pasha haa
asked for 40,000 reinforcements, and
that orders have been sent to Soionlca
to 'hasten the dispatch of reserves to
the frontier. 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.:

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.
