Primrose Lenglle,
The correspondent of the Daily Tele-
graph at Volo, under date of 1Wednen-
day, says:—" The biggest battle of the
war began near Velestino this morn-
ing. Ae a x'eeult of it the Turkish force
of 40,000 men hes been repulsed. The
Turkish plan was to seize the hills on
the north dividing Pharealos from Val-
estinc."
THE LOSS ON BOTH SIDES.
A special de•epatch from Athens as-
sorts that the losses of the Greeks in
the fighting at Velestino and Pharsa-
los were certainly one thousand kill-
ed and wounded, while the Turks lost
fully six thcuswnd killed and wounded,
WEDNESDAY'S FIGHTING.
The London Dally Mail's correspon-
dent with the Turkish forces at Phar-
salos, telegraphing Thursday morning,
says: " Yesterday's (Wednesday) bat-
tle was most sublime as a spectacle, and
the most decisive of the entire war. It
was not intended at the beginning that
the fight should be a regular pitched
engagement, but an the arrival of F,d-
hem Pasha at the outposts a furious
firing began. The weather was cool
and the sky somewhat cloudy, after a
thunderstorm. The ;village of Piker -
sales could be seen huddled as it were
under a line of low -peaked trills. High-
er and round about were black hills
rising behind others, while between
this and the village ran a smal]stream
known to the ancients as the Raipeus,
crossed by a bridge. At the railway,
between the stream and the village,
were Greeks In an excellent posillon,
Krell defended by earthworks. Their
advance line consisted of two brigades,
and their reserve of two half brigades,
altogether about 20,000 men. As
against these were 50,000 Turks.
" The artillery began the engage-
ment the Greek practice being much
better than usual, but after about
two hours they began to retire across
the river. This wan a great mistake,
as they were thus enclosed between
the river and the mountains with no
room to deploy. The eight was superb.
:In many rases the Greeks fought with
the courage of despair. Great black
=rises terming the rear guard to
hold the bridge, covered the whole
rich green plain, and the endurance
and dash of the Turks were magni-
ficent. too. I reached the battlefield
with a regiment whose men imme-
diately began to run forward, danc-
ing
ano-ing under fire, and shouting like chil-
dren when they saw the enemy. Tura
Greeks repulsed them vigorously, and
followed up the repulse.
"'Che Teaks had formed to a semi-
circle of thundering 'batteries end
crackling battalions. The division on
the extreme right tried to out off the
retreat to Domokos, while the re-
mainder of the force flung itself upon
1'harsalos. .The battle was but little
like the battles described is books,
There was no firing of volleys, no
bayonet assault, no push, no cbeering,
but only a steady, leisurely advance
into open in perfect order, :There
was some individual firing, and the
soldiers shouted, 'Allah, Allah," till
the constant repetition ®welled into one,
heavy, monotonous shout, like the
'tear,bear,' of the House of Com-
mons. 1 saw some men sudidenly fling'
up their hands ant. fall fate down-
wards, but the Greek fire in the main
ware ineffective. Before five o'clock the
last village noeth'of bias river had
been taken. Then the village of Vaslli
and the entronelrmenhs near the river
ware stormed ;with considerable loss
to the Tun and the battle ceased.
:Atn'i�gghtfall the flanking (Itviaion es-
tabliehed itself behind the Greeks, and
cut elf the befit line of retreat to
Athens."
1CO PROTECT THE DYNASTY.
A degpatch dram Berlin says it is re -
Ported there that the powers have de-
cided to land their troops at Athens
to protect the dynasty, Greece halving
declined the dproefered mediation, and

LORD SALISBURY'S VIEWS.
tat the annual meeting of the Prim-
rose League, the Marquis of Salisbury,
discussing the Greco -Turkish question,
said;—"The stain object of the Eu-
ropean concert was to prevent a Eu-
ropean war," adding that the belief
prevailed that all danger oe such e
wax was finally dissipated, and the
peace of Eturopte, apart from the local
contact, had been placed on a better
basis, and had better hope in its fu-
ture, than ever before. Her Majes-
ty's Government, the Premier also
said, would do its bust to end the
. bloodshed. In his concluding reference
to the war, the Marquis of Salisbury
said:—"The opening oe the Eastern
question was greatly dreaded, but it
bus now come like a nightmare. '!"here
bas been great terror that any out-
break in the south-east of Europe
might lead to a general blaze) but it is
to be hoped that the clanger is past,
and that we may look clamly on the'
forger interests involved. It may be
that Turkey bas exhibited proofs of
strength which few suspected, 'and
Perhaps a better future is open to the
dominions of the Satan. alleir Gov-
ernment ;nay improve or maybe the
Jrlmpire will collapse, as many hares
teared, In either case we are justified
in believing that ell changes will be
conducted under the sanction ofpeaee-
ful deliberations,"

NOTE OF TB'ii•POWERS.
The eenditions insisted upon by Ger-
many, the chief oC which is that Greece
shall ggiro her formal consent to the
principle of autonorny for Crete, will
be accepted by the Gem& Government,
The note of the powers Ins notyet
leen presented, but it lets been drawn
and is to the following effect :—"Upon
a formal declaration by Greece that she
will remit her troops and agree to such
an autonomous e'egune for Crete as the
powers in their wisdom shall deem
best, and amept unreservedly the coun-
sels of the powers, they will intervene
in the interests of poem," The tote
will probably be presented to -morrow
after the German lvl.inister has received
final instructions. it is understood that
Greece, in her reply, will assent to all
of these conditions. 1101, Rail!, the Pre-
mier, and leL Skouloudis the Minister
of Foreign Affairs, have had a long
interview to -day with Mfr. Egerton, the
British representative, which has paus-
ed considerable comment, tit is believ-
ed to be connented with the expected
intervention of the powers. A despatch
from Domokos says that heavy rains
there prevent fighting.
1phe recall of the forces Croat Crete
bus been received with resignation by
the public. The Delyannis organs at-
tack the Government bitterly for ap-
pealing to Europe, but most of the
pipers accept thus as inevitable, and
violently attack the J thnike IfeLairia,
asking tt Lo render an account of its
actions. On learning that the Grown
P.rLnm had appointed his dismissed
chief of staff, Col. Se,poundzalci, and
his aide-de-camp, Capt. Fladjipetro, to
the command of an artillery regiment,
the Government has recalled both offi-
cers to Athens and ordered them to re -
tarn immediately.
SHELLED THE WOUINDED.
A despatch to the Morning Poet from
Lamia says: "On the Greeks with-
drawing from 'Palestine a Turkish bat-
tery, which had advanced unobserved
from the further side of the railway,
suddenly shelled a train conveying the
wounded, and another which had just
arrived from Volo. Five shells fell
exceedingly close before the train with
the wounded started. The spectators
and the volunteers on the platform
stampeded. 1 proceeded with the
wounded to Volo, and then by steam-
er to Stylida near Lambe, where 1,200
troops landed."
DESIRE FOR PEACE.
"But while all this is so, the old
bellicose enthusiasm of the Athenians
has vanished completely. On alt sides
the desire for peace is expressed, and
should the Government invoke the in-
tervention of the powers, it would
probably be supported by public opin-
ion. The anti -!loyal feeling is visibly
diminishing. The demonstrations due
bo a change of Cabinet, and to the
flight from Larissa, which were some-
what superficial, have not been re -
pet aPharsalos hasllalso hadahegoodnef-
feet.
The main body of General Smolentz's
force arrived on Friday morning at
eleven o'clock at Almyros. Messages
have been exchanged between General
Smolente and the Government. All the
inhabitants at Domokos have fled to
Lamle."
TURKEY'S DEMANDS.
&despatch to The Morning Post from
Constantinople says it is probable that
Turkey will demand a war indemnity
of over six millions sterling. The Con-
stantinople correspondent of The
Standard says that the Turkish mili-
tary commissioners held a prolonged
conference with the Sultan on Friday
ab the Yildiz Kiosk and decided to in-
crease the troops in European Turkey
to 432,000 men, a decision ratified by the
Sultan. In view of the possible early
intervention of the powers, Edbem
Pasha has been ordered to hasten his
advance, leaving the line of communi-
cation to be guarded by reinforce-
ments, which are daily despatched to
the front. The correspondent of The
Standard at Constantinople says :—"I
learn that a circular has been issued,
addressed by the Sheikh UL Islam to
the Imans in Constantinople and the
provinces, which foreshadows the sup-
posed approach of a holy. war, the sa-
cred edict for proclaiming which is
already being prepared." A despatch
to The Times from Constantinople
says:—Turkey will certainly claim o
fair ailowanee of the rights of a victor.
and in this claim she will be supported
by Kinesia and Germany.
FIERCE FIGHTING.
The Turkish army Ls bivouacked in
the eighty villages surrounding Phar -
sales captured from the Greeks. The
battle began at nine o'clock in the
morning, After tekirmisihes between
the advance posts of the opposing
forces the Greeks artillery opened' fire
with great precision. But the Turks
pushed forward exposing themselves
to the enemy's fire with the greatest
sangfroid. The Greeks then made a
fatal error in leaving bhe command-
ing positions which they 000u(pied and
rebirrng upon the plain, which was
points our bat-
cnmmand d on all n s b
e p y
aeries, which were brought into action
so soon as the Greeks loft the hills.
The scene which followed was both in-
teresting and cruel. The Greeks from
all pasts oC the plain ,wers converging
towards a stone bridge crossing the
river, which was the only means of get-
ting over. The mass of humanity ab
this point tuns constantly growing
when the Turkish artillery began. The
'furies obtained rho exact range oC the
enemy, and shell after shell- fell and
exploded In the midat of the fugitives.
The havoc created by the shrapnel
shot's was terrible. Gradually, how-
ever, through this decrhuating fire, a
greater part of Lite Greeks traversed
the river.
The Turks, who were then covering
the plain like bees, met with a strong
resistance while attacking Vaei11,
where the Greeks, from hidden posi-
tions, opened a furious Gee. But the
Turks advanced with marvellous te-
merity, and captured the village, not
by gunshots, but by purely,the moral
effect oC the fear wleiele their splendid
insouciance in the advance inspired in
the enemy.
Owtng to the effect that it was not
tended to commence the decisive en-
gagement, until Friday, the Ttirkish
division intended to take the enemy
in thank only arrived baie an hour be-
fore the close of .the combat, having
marched thirty miles.
The artillery played a leading part
in the fighting, although tate Greek
guns, while they opened well, ended
badly, while ones Were served even
better than uaual,
The Turkish attack upon Valisi was
made w ethoot any p.revipns plan. The
men were ordered to cantata. the place,
and they advanced quietly, shooting as
though bunting. The Greeks maintain-
ed a withering fire. I saw a Tnrk
wounded itt the leg advancing to the
attack on all fours.
Burring this Stray the Turiis captured
a mountain battery and eighteen
tdules, a. S"reayt quantity of ammuni-
tion a and perovlsione, and the personal
offsets of the Greek PrInoes. Crown

The Athens' correspondent bf the

ing over the receipt of an official tele-
limen from lohazealos saying that the
J'urks hays been. repulsed and the
Greeks hold theta. positions after a
three bongs' battle. The despatch
says Crown Prince Constantine and
Prince h.7inholas fought courageously in
the front rank, risking their lives a
hundred times, tend they had an ova -

fighting was over, The Government
has forwarded to them less warmest son-

In the most admirable manner. The
King and the Cabinet Have also ad-
dressed a manifesto to the troops, con-
gratulating therm upoha their courage
and patriotio devotion.
"The pubi.io is overjoyed, and is al-
ready forgetting earlier blunders of
the campaign.
A decisive battle is ex eted at
PbarsaLos to -morrow, Thursday."
THE FIGHT DESCRIBEED,
The Athens correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph, under date of Wed-
nesday, says:—"The following is the
official despatch, from Major Pallis,
Chief of the Stuff of the Greek forces
in Thessaty, describing the Gain at
Plarsalos•—"The Turks attacked our
advance posts at two o'clock. Since
,yesterday evening their movements had
indicated an intention to cut off our
left wing,and to -day they attacked our
front. O,r advance posts retreated, us
they were fighting against very much
superior numbers, and took up a posi-
tion in front of our right wing. An
artillery duel ensued along an exten-
sive lune. The enemy's infantry ad -
mimed in perfect;order at three points,
and in large numbers, but they were
speedily checked by our infantry. The
respective losses are as yet unknown.
The Crown Prisce took a very active
part in the combat, and advanced with -
range of the Turkish fire, greatly in-
spiring the men. Prince Nicholas was
equally active wiLh the right wing,and
directed the fire of his battery agatast
two Turkish, eateries. Ws coolness
greatly encouraged the troops. .We
maintaan all ottr positions intact, and
the engagement will certainly be con-
tinued to -morrow (Thursday). We
calculate about 15,000 Turks attacked
our right wing. They rushed down the
hill slopes in vast numbers. The ene-
my was our superior in both artillery
and cavalry, the calibre of their gnus
was larger, while their number was al-
most doable ours. We bad no cavalry
because our only gquadron bas been
used for scouting, and had gone to
Trikbela.' "
A FIERCI: BLOW.
Thera was a striking feature in Fri-
day's cavalry charge. Col. Mahmoud
Bey was fired upon by a Greek officer,
who sent font• bullets from his revolver
in the direction of the Turkisb officer,
Mahmoud Bey then galloped ahead of
his rests, and with one tierce blow with
Iris sword completely severed the Greek
officer's 'head from his body.
TO ASSASSINATE,
The St. James' Gazette publishes a re-
port that two Cretan Christians have
started for Constantinople to assassin-
ate the German Ambassador, Baron
Saurma von Jeltsch, and the Austrian
Ambassador, Baron von Galice.
• ME WAIL; OVER.
The war between Turkey and Greece
is practically over. Pourparlers have
taken place between the powers, over-
tures of mediation were mads to the
Greek Government on Tuesday, and the
Cabinet, after serious deliberation, ac-
repted the offer. Greece undertakes to
recall her troops from Crete, ancLagrees
to such autonomous government for
that island as the powers,' in their wis-
dom, shall deem best, and promises to
accept unreservedly the counsels of
the powers in settling peace between
the two countries. The spirit of Greece
is broken, and even the anti -Royalists,
who, at short time ago, would listen
to 00 suggestion of pence, submit to
the iron terms of the powers without
a murmur.
The secret is out. The disaster to
the Ggeek cause is due entirely to the
blundering of the Ckon+n Prince. This
