Atiikxs, May H.—The powers took
the first active steps in intervention
between Greece and Turkey this morn
ing, when detachments of marines
from the Itritish, Huasian, French.
Austrian and German warships in the
<«tilf of Volo were landed to guard the
town of Volo, which the Greeks evacu
ated during the night. The foreign
consuls also went to Velestino to con- I
fer with Kdhem I’u-ha, the Turkish
commander-in-chicf. These moves did
not, however, prevent the Turks from
occupying the place, hut disorders will
be prevented.
King George is in favor of an im
mediate acceptance of the offers of the
powers to mediate, declaring that the
Greeks have neither ammunition nor

ministry are reported to be still stub
born us to evacuation of Crete, but
there is every reason to believe that
they will not much longer court the
complete subjugation of their country,
which continuance of the war will ,
make unavoidable.
It is reported that the Turks in
Epirus have begun wholesale massa
cres. and that many women, crazed by
the horrors through which they have
passed, have arrived at Arta
EAST 11 ATT EES OK TIIE WAIL
\tiik.v*. May 10.—What may la: the
final battle of the war began at (5:3(>
o'clock Thursday morning at Veles
tino ami at the Cynoacephale. u little
later, above Aivall and I'harsala.
Velestino and the main Cynosccphale
chain were held by the (ireeks. The
plain to the northward and the gray
ridge jutting out between the Cynos
cephalc and Velestino were held by the
Turks. The <ireeks had three batter
ies of artillery unu the Turks four.
Early in the morning a well directed
tireek artillery fire prevented advance
of the Turkish infantry. By half past
7 o'clock the artjllery firing was very
heavy on both sides, but each ma’n
tained its position. At 10:30 o'clock a
Turkish battery iiehind Koniari began
firing shrapnel and the (ireeks soon
began to low? ground. A hot artillery ,
and musketry fusillade was kept up
until about noon, when the (ireeks on i
the big hill commenced to retire In or
derly fashion, but at a double (piick.
The Turks did not, fire at them and
were apparently ignorant of their suc
cess. The irregulars tried in vain to
assist the (ireek by firing at the ad
vancing Turks: and in fact throughout
the engagement they were practically
valueless.
At 12:45 o'clock the Turks attacked
the big hill with musketry and shell
tiro. Several shots reached the road
beyond, designed probably to prevent
the (Ireeks from sending reinforce
ments to their left, where tlie Turks
were rapidly ascending the hill. The
(ireek batteries on tile right were now
useless and almost silent and the
Turks on the Earissa road made no
attempt to attack them At 12:45
o'clock the attack on the right of the
Cynoscephale became severe. The
(•reeks there were in full retreut, the

also showed their tactical superiority

exploded in the midst of the Greeks.
The havoc created by the shrapnel
was terrible. • iradunliy. however, the
greater pnrt of the Greeks crossed the
river.
The Turks, who were then covering
the plain. :net with a strong resistance
while attacking Vasili, where the
Greeks from hidden positions opened ■
furious fire, in the fnoe of this the
Turks advanced with marvelous
temerity and captured the village, not
so much by force of amis as by the
fear w hich their indifference to death
inspired in the Greeks.
Owing to the fact that it was not de
signed to commence the decisive en
gagement until Tlnirsnay the Turkish
division intended to take the enemy in
(lank only arrived half an hour before
the close of the combat, having
inarched thirty miles. The Turkish
attack upon Vasili was made without
any prevb us plan. The men wero or
dered to capture the place and they
advanced, ijuictly shooting as though
hunting. The Greeks maintained a
withering tire. A Turk wounded In
tile leg advanced to the attack on
hands and knees.

The Foreign War Situation.
Loxoox, May «. 'I'hr retreat of the
Greek army from Pharsala and Veles
tino because the commanders were re
luctantly forced to recognize the fact
that the Turkish forces, far superior
to theirs in numbers and equipment,
and at least their equals in bravery,
were dangerously near to breaking
the Greek line of defense, bus almost
broken the spirit of thu Greeks. For
this reason there is every reason to
day to believe that Greeec will accept
the offer of mediation made by the
representatives of the great powers
and, as the Turkish government had
declared in favor of mediation, there
is good ground for the belief thut
i Wednesday’s battles will bo the last
ones of the present war.
Turkey, though ready to accept the
Intervention of the powers, does not
propose to caught napping, and has
ordered the holding of eleven regi
ments of the famous Hamidiet cavalry
for readiness for service in Thessaly.
A battalion of redifs has also been
sent to the island of Mitylene to repel
a possible Greek landing and the cav
alry and Kharl Pasha's division of foot
soldiers of Fdhem Pasha's army have
begun an advance in the direction of
UomokoM, the present Greek head
quarters.
GENERAL SMOLENSK! SAFE
Atiik.ns, May ft. — A dispatch from
Almvros announces that General ISmo
lenski's brigade arrived there this
morning after having effected a re
treat from Veicstino in good order.
There had isteu much fear for his
safety, and the government had or
dered the stjuudron to send torpedo
bouts to search for 1dm.
A panic prevails at Lamia, on the
Gulf of Lamia, which is the base of
supplies for the Greek forces at Iiomo
kos Many of the inhabitants arc flee
ing frorn the place, fearing it will be
attacked by the Turks. Three vessels
brought refugees from Lamia to tiie
Piraeus yesterday evening.
Gonktantinoi’I k, May 7. A dispatch
received here describing Wednesday's
battle before Pharsaiu savs: “The
Turkish vun, after sharp lighting, cap
tured all the positions in front of
Pliursalu, and thus gained favorable
sites for new Krupp twelve-Ventimeter
howitzers, which we-j stationed at
Tatar!. They threw shell* with un
erring aim right iuto the heart of the
town. Some fell near the railway
station, which was wrecked; others
caused fearful damage in the streets
and to dwellings, which, it was under
stood. the inhabitants had previously
ubamloned. The Greeks suffered
heavy loss. As evening came on it be
came clear that their position was vir
tually untenable.”
GREEKS PANIC STRICKEN.
r Kkki.ix, May N —Grumbkoff Pasha,
the German officer who reorganized
the Turkish artillery, and who en
tered Larissa at the head of the Turk
ish troops, dwells upon the splendid
conduct of the Turks and says the
capture of Larissa did not cost
them a single man. The works
constructed by the Greek en
gineers of Larissa were deserving
of high praise, and he fails to under
stand why they were abandoned The
Turkish army in the field, he further
remarks, is one of the tinest Turkey
ever possessed and no praise is too
great for both soldiers and officers In
regard to the Greeks, he asserts that
both officers and men were seized with
panic and that great numbers of
Greeks, in the face of the enemy,
stripped themselves of tlit*ir uniforms,
donned civilian clothing and besecched
tiie Turks to spare their lives. The
Turks treated all their prisoners and
wounded with the greatest care.

tield: Jones, of Arkansas; Jones, of
Nevada; Kyle, Martin, Mason, Mills,
Morgan, Penrose, Pettigrew,* Pettus,
(juay, Rawlins,Roach, Shoup, Stewart,
White total, 110.
The vote was preceded by a short,
spirited debate, introduced by Senator
Mills of Texas, who made a strong ap
peal to the Senate ugainst ratifying
the agreement,. He asserted that as
amended the document was most ob
jectionable, not to say contradictory
iu terms. He pointed out especially
the provisions for the settlement of
controversies in regard to territorial
claims and asserted that whereas tho
amendment adopted by the Senate to
the first article of the treaty declared
aguinst their inclusion, the sixth and
eighth articles made provision for
them. He held that as long as those
articles remained unchanged England
justly could claim thut questions of
territorial rights were still included
within the scope of the treaty. Under
such circumstances, lie asked, what
was to prevent England from purchas
ing the island of Cuba or any other
American territory, and in case of ob
jection on the part of the United
States insisting upon the reference of
the dispute to arbitration? lie spoke
of the conduct of Kngland in connec
tion with the Graeco-Turkish war and
implored the senate to protect the
United States ugainst tlie proposed al
liance.
Tlie speech made a visible impres
sion and the opinion was general that
the treaty should be so unicndcd as to
remedy the inconsistency explained.
Senator Tillman asked that time lie
given for such amendment. Owing,
however, to tlie fact that the Senate
was under agreement to vote at ♦
o'clock, there could be no postpone
ment, except by unanimous consent.
Senator Carter, wno from the first
has lieen one of the most active and
effective opponents of the treaty, in
terposed objection. He made a very
pungent speech in opposition.
The remainder of the debate was of
a running character. Senators White
anil Pettigrew interjected ipicstions
tending to show continued opposition.
Senator White remarked that the
document was full of illogical proposi
tions, and suid furthermore that its
syntax would have to lie improved be
fore it would be thoroughly accept
able.
Senator Davis, chairman of the com
mittee on foreign relations, declined
to express an opinion for publication,
nut talked freely with his friends. To
them he attributed the defeat to the
feeling of dissatisfaction at Knglund’s
course in the struggle of the Greek to
liberate the island of Crete from Otto
man dominion and the Armenian mas
sacres, and with the "evident” de
signs of Great Iiritaic upon the Trans
vaal.
Among those who waited in the Sen
ate corridors to receive the news was
Mr. Michael Davitt, who appeared
much pleased at the result.
