trenches everywhere , and In and behind

King George of Greece at the palace yester
day. His majesty Is quoted as saying that
ho believed to the last moment that peace
would be maintained , and did his utmost to
bring about a pacific solution of the mattcro
In dispute. The king denied that Greece com-
menccd hostilities against Tin key and ar
gued that Turkej' was not compelled to go
to war because of the Incursion of a few
insurgents whom nobody could have re
strained. Continuing , King George said ;
"Tho truth Is , wo were attacked because
Turkey was ordered to attack us. There
never could have been war but for certain
intrigues which will appear Liter. All the
powers are more or Icsa against us It thej
wanted war they have got it. Such Is the
result of the European concert. Europe must
underhand that after forcing us to war there
can be no question of limiting it. Our fleet

LONDON , April 21. The Rome correspondent -
ent of the Pall Mall Gazette telegraphs to
his paper this afternoon saying a dispatch
has been received there from Athens ex-
prciHlng fear that , should the Greeks suffer
further reverses and the Turks occupy La-
rl'sa , a revolution will break out at Athens.
NEW YORK , April 21 A dispatch to the
Journal from Athens sajs. The war on the
frontier continues with unabated fury , and
all along the line , from the gulf of Salonlca
on the cast to the gult ot Arta on the west ,
a desperate struggle Is going on for the
mastery. The advance of the Turkish forces
on Tjrnavo has not been seriously checked ,
though from Greek sources come many
claims of victories. These , however , are ot
small Import compared to the Information
that the Turks are Investing Tyrnavo.
Tjrnavo Is about three leagues northwest ot
Larlsba and was depended upon by the
Greeks to seriously hamper any attempt
that would be made by the Turks to np-
proich Larlssa.
Immediately after their disastrous defeat
at Mllouna pass the Greeks fell back to
Tjrnavo , but the Turks closely followed
them and began a vigorous cannonading of
the position. Tjrnavo's fall will make it
next to Impossible for the Moslem advance
upon the Greek mllltarj base at Lnrlssa to
bo stopped Larissa is poorly fortified and
It may become necessary for the Greeks to
precipitate a pitched battle with the Turks
on the plains that lie between Larlssa and
the Macedonian frontier.
A Greek force , after a terrific battle , has
managed to get through to the plains of
Damasl , In Macedonia , meantime bombard
ing and dcstrojlng the small village of
Vlula half a dozen Turkish batteries and
killing over 200 Turks The Greek lew-s was
light About 300 Turks were taken prison
ers at Vigla.
HOLD THE TURKS DACK.
The path at Revena , a few milts noitli-
west ot Tyrnavo. where there are as many
lurks under the personal direction
as10,000
of Edhrm Pasha , has been the scene of the
Nicest fighting of the war. This horde of
Moslems , singing and chanting war songs
from Rcvcna to Uorghese , for the past three
dais have unremlttlnply endeavored to ob
tain a free road to the Thessallan plains
fwcntj thoLsfml Greeks , under the direction
of Prince Cctetantlne have as oteadllj
fought and struggled to keep back the Mo-
hammidan stream , and thus far have BUC-
° LOn \iio \ gulf of Arta the Greeks are having
things prcttj much their own way. The
Turkb at Arta/ / attempted to cress the Aralt-
pho river , despite the fire of tha Greek ar
tillery. This was magnificently handled ,
however , and the Moslems were mowed down
by the score , the river being literally filled
with the biiltan's soldiers. The Turks re-
Colonel Manes , in his invasion of this part
of Eplrus , haa been -.cry successful. He has
occupied several villages with but slight re
sistance and has hastily fortified them. Thure
is hardly any parlous obstacle northward
Into Albania , and toward Yanlna , where a
great battle may be fought. After retreat
ing the Turks attempted to succcssfullj
bomhaid Arta. using neailj one hundred
pieces of artillery in the operation but it
failed , their marksmanship being bad and
their range too great.
The squadron of inonclads which left the
Piraeus under sealed orders is likely to strike
tome bold blow , though It Is generally be
lieved It Is bound for Salonlca which It
will bombard , and where It Is hoped to cut
off ( the base of supplies of the army under
Edhem 1 Pasha.

frigate I , two corvettes , three armed trans
ports 1 and one torpedo boat , have left the
Golden ( Horn Other Turkish vessels aie

exported to the United States. Many cigar
manufacturers and makers here belong to

to forcibly prevent any shipment. There Is
a great deal of feeling over the matter , and
this la Increased by a bfcllof that the con

of the excitement. The authorities are wor

to prevent trouble. Thp tobacco may have

Weyler has cabled to Madrid that It would
