Is Stronger.
A thens, A pril 27.— It is useless to
deny th a t a very gloomy outlook of th*
w ar prospects is taken by th e better in
formed. T here are, however, no signs
of a panic. The city exhibits an a tti
tude of dignified endurance, while
many persons still show an unabated
enthusiasm for war. T his symptom is
particularly noticeable among
the
wounded now in A thens. T h eir one
desire is to he healed, in order th a t
they may rejoin the colors. N aturally,
th is sp irit is much fostered by the con
firm ation of th e reports th a t the Turks
have burned the G reek wounded in a
church at K nrtzivoli.
The Turks
lighted fires under the bodies of wound
ed beasts. Many of the G reek wounded
im plored th eir cóm anles to kill them ;
others com m itted suicide.
A lthough it is understood th a t the
G reeks carried all th eir guns from Tyr-
navos and L arissa, and also destroyed
the provisions a t both places, they could
not transport th e guns ut Pharsula.
It is believed by some in A thenian
circles th a t the retreat was som ewhat
hasty and th a t some of th e guns were
abandoned w ith but feeble defense. It
seems probable, however, th a t in the
m ain th e retreat was in good order.
T his morning the word goes forth
here th a t the governm ent w ill perse
vere in the struggle w ith greater d eter
m ination. Tiie report, however, has
not served to allay the grow ing ir rita
tion in the belief th a t even if Greece
(could not hold her own, the non-offen
sive a ttitu d e m anifested in the order of
the crown prinoe not to attack was
idiotic and un-Grecian. The retreat to
P h a rsu la is considered a poor response
to th e fiery speeches of the Crown
'Prince C onstantino to his troops.
N atu rally all sorts of reasons are ad
vanced to explain the G reek retreat,
the more candid ad m ittin g th a t the
T urks w ere too strong. It is also
pointed out th a t the T urkish cavalry
Idid much to tu rn the scale in favor of
Edhem Pasha.
The G reek fleet is also the subject of
m any curious reports, one of w hich as
serts th a t the E astern squadron has
bombarded Dedeagach. It is knowo
th a t the T urkish governm ent yesterday
ordered th a t all lanterns in the lig h t
houses on the G ulf of Salónica rem ain
unlighted. Five ironclads and four
torpedo boats are operating along the
coast between P latom ina and K aterina.
The B ritish and F rench subjects re
siding at Volo have addressed respective
envoys here, begging for the dispatch
of w arships to Vplo to proteot them .
The envoys havo wired to th e ir govern
m ents and to the adm irals at Canea,
but at A thens it is oonside ed unneces
sary to comply w ith th e request, as an
attack upon Volo is no part of the T urk
ish programme.
R e tr e a t O rdered From A thens.
London, A pril 27.— The A thens cor
respondent of th e Times says: The
news of the loss of M ati was received
here during the sm all hours of the
m orning. The prem ier and the m in
ister of w ar were im m ediately sum
moned to the palace, where a council
sat u n til after daybreak. There was
some difference of opinion, b u t it was
finally decided, in view of the exhaus
tion of the G reek troops and the nu
m erical superiority of the Turks, to or
der a retreat to Pharsula.
T his decision w as a wise one, for the
defenses of Larissa are not strong, ami
the open plain favors llie operations of
the T urkish cavalry. The Greek stand
w ill be made a t Pharsula, w hich may
once again become the scene of a m em
orable battle.
T he b attle of M ati lasted all Friday,
the Greeks defending th e ir positions
w ith great in trep id ity . Prince Con
stan tin e and Prince Nicholas were both
continually under fire, and the latter
greatly distinguished him self. The
T urks, strongly reinforced, succeeded
in breaking the G reek lines atJJ in the
evening.
The T urkish cavalry de
liverer! repeated m agnificent charges.
The fighting continued into the night.
D uring the afternoon. Colonel Macris,
com m anding the first division, called
for the supjrort of Colonel M avrom¡ca
lis, comm anding the second division.
The latter arrived ju st in tim e to cover
th e retreat from Mati.
A t 6 o'clock, Colonel M avrom icilis,
who allowed great gallantry in his a t
tem pts to rally the troops, wired to
G eneral Smolenitr., a t R eveni: “ I am
defeated ami retirin g to Kazaklar. Act
according to your ju d g m en t.”
It is presumed th a t Reveni will be
evacuated forthw ith and the whole
frontier line abandoned. Glifom and
despondency is seen on every counten
ance. The only gleam of consolation
is the report th a t Pentepjgadia is o u t
flanked and the w ay open to Jan in a.
This, however, needs confirmation.
At Salnnlr«.
Salónica, A pril 27.— It has been de
cided to concentrate here a Turkish re
serve division of sixteen battalions.
Eleven have arrived already. D uring
the G reek bom bardm ent of Leftokarva,
a shop belonging to a B ritish subject
was destroyed. The consuls have m et

G reenville, Miss., A pril 26.—There
was another break in the levee on the
M ississippi side a t B hipland, or “ The
Prom ised L and” levee, a t 10 o'clock

of G reenville. The break w ill cover
19,000 acres of land near th e flood, and
w ill add to the volume of w ater already
covering most of the lands in its vicin
ity. The levee is ten feet high, and
the break is fully 800 feet wide. There
was a foot on the levee when it gave

W hile th is section was in a large

The T urks have retired from Nezeros
and Rapsani. The action of our fleet
at K aterina was excellent. I was in

T he correspondent of the Chroniole
says:
Tho T urks are greatly dism ayed by
the destruction of th e ir stores at K at

Sachtouris destroyed the stores from
the coast to the foot of M ount Olympus.

A thens, A pril 26.— A fter tho bom
bardm ent of K aterina, on tho G u lf ot
Salonica, by th e G reek squadron had
p u t to flight two battalions of Turks
and th e in h ab itan ts of th a t placo, th e
G reek fleet landed a detachm ent and
found the T urks had left behind im
mense stores of provisions destined for
the arm ies of Edhem Pasha. These
valuuble stores had been left unprotect
ed in th e belief by tho T urks th a t a
blockade of Greece by the fleets of the
powers would prevent the G reek fleet
from attacking the T urkish tow ns in
th e G ulf of Salonica, which is near the
railroad to Salonica, and which has
been used as a point to land stores for
tho T urkish arm y and forward them to
th e front.
T he capture of these towns, not to
m ention th e loss of the stores, places a
serious difficulty in the pnth of Edhem
Pusha, and it is stated here th a t as soon
