TURKS ARE DISMAYED
CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE
GREEK TROOPS REPORTED
Turkish Battery at Iageria Destroyed
and Turks Driven from Nezeros and
Rapaarl Greek Fleet Destroys Vast
Quantities of Ottoman Stores
Edhem Pasha Recalled
Crown Prince Coustantine Las stirred
Athens to a thigh pitch of enthusiasm over
his reports to King George of Greek suc
cesses everywhere in Thessaly The Hel
lenic troops under the crown prince have
destroyed the Turkish battery at Ligeria
The Moslems have retired from Nezeros
and Rapsari and are appalled by the de
struction of all their stores at Katerina
and Lithochorion From Salonica comes
the news that after a fierce ibattle the
Greeks occupied Karya a small fortified
town mear Milouna Pass Osman Pasha
has succeeded Edhem Pasha as commander-in-chief
of the Turkish armies Ed
hem Pasha lias been recalled by the sul
tan and the hero of Plevna will try to
rally the Moslem troops who it is con
ceded even at Constantinople have been
outfought at all points by the Hellenes
At Constantinople the situation is re
garded as serious and the recall of 13d
hem Pasha is taken to be a rebuke to that
general for the manner in which Crown
Prince Constantine has apparently out
generaled Lim in all moves made on the
Thessalian border since the first skirmish
at Milouna Pass Ahmed Hifzi Pasha
their possessions for the victorious
Greeks Terrific fighting is reported froin
Arta where the Turks suffered repulses
constantly while attempting to cross thei
bridge into the town The Moslems were
met at each onslaught by ritle volleys and
were forced back in disorder Again and
again under cover of heavy cannon fire
they tried to cross the bridge but could
proceed no farther than the center
Finally in one assault the Turkish
commander was killed and his men fell
back in confusion and made no more at
tempts to carry the bridge Then the
Turkish cannon were silenced Athens
advices say tliatthe excitement there over
the Greek successes everywhere is in
tense and reports from Volo say that even
women there are arming themselves to do
battle with the Turks
FRUIT INJURED BY FROST
Reports Indicate that the Crop Has
Suffered Severely
Unseasonably cold weather during the
last three days has created the gravest
fears among the fruit growers in many
sections of the country Through Illinois
and Indiana and the southern part of Wis
consin the cold has been especially se
vere and the reports are anything but re
assuring The records of the weather
department show that Tuesdays tempera
ture was 14 degrees below the average
for April and that last Monday was 18
degrees colder than the normal
C E Linney superintendent of the
weather and crop service report for the
Chicago district sent out a bulletin which
takes a cheerful look at the situation
He is inclined to the belief that the fruit
buds in Illinois are not far enough ad
vanced to be hurt by the cold weather
PRINCE CONSTANTINE COMMANDER OF THE GREEK FORCES
Prince Constantine the heir apparent to the Grecian throne is winning the
warmest applause from the Grecian people by his gallant conduct in the present
War He is in command of the main army and is threatening the Turks with all
sorts of disaster Constantine was always popular with the Hellenes lie is 21
years old Grecian born and is an ardent follower of the religion of the country
When he became of age in 1SS9 hp married Princess Sophia of Russia yhp is
yery patriptic and greatly beloved by the people Constantine and his wife aye
very democratic Princess Sophia goes about Athens unattended and ia distin
guished in no way outwardly from any other lady in the town Prince Con
stantine conducts himself with much freedom from ostentation and if the Greeks
had their way these two with their ancient names would be king and queen Con
stantine went to school in Europe and had the benefit of the best military training
that could be had in the big war camps of the continent
also has been recalled from Zamia and
Saas Edin Pasha has left Constantinople
to relieve him in command of the Turkish
troops at that point
More Troops Forwarded
Seventy two new battalions of Turkish
soldiers 50400 men have been mustered
in from the army reserves and prepared
for instant service Greece too has sum
moned all her landwelir or militia and
will send them tp Thessaly at qnce Heavy
fighting continues all along the bprder
from Arta tp Platamona Everywhere
the Greeks appear to have been victori
ous or else to have held their ground
agaipst the Turkish attacks
Santi Quaranta has beep reduced by the
Greek squadron which abandoned the
bombardment of Prevesa and went to the
former place opening fire at once on the
Turkish blockhouse there Later the
squadron returned to Corfu having on
board eighty Christian refugees taken
from Santi Quaranta which was destroy
ed and the Turkish stores there burned
The citadel of Prevesa is reported to
have withstood the furious bombardment
of the Greek ships but it is said the town
is almost wholly destroyed The East
ern Greek fleet after bombarding Ka
trina on the Gulf of Salonica and reducing
the town landed a detachment and cap
tured an immense quantity of stores in
cluding provisions and ammunition des
tined for the use of Edhem Pashas ar

Greek troops have forced the inhabit
ants to abandon Kafia and

The news from the vicinity of Joliet is not
encouraging to the fruit interests the se
vere cold weather having killed most of
the fruit and berry buds in that section
according to the reports
In some sections of northern Indiana
notably in DeKalb County the mercury
registered 1G degrees above zero Monday
night and great injury resulted tq fruit
and vegetable The heaviest damage
was inflicted in the southern sections of
Indiana where the fruit was farthest ad
vanced and in the great fruit belt which
includes the cqunties flqng the Ohio river
and extends north for fifty miles It is
estimated that nearly all the fruit in this
section is killed but time may prove that
this estimate is incorrect
